Iyer: Jones is the ideal replacement for Julius Jones, and it doesn't hurt that Arkansas alum Jerry Jones had a jones for taking a Razorbacks back. Dallas smartly adds young pop to the backfield to complement the power of Marion Barber.

The surprise of the game for me on film was Stephen Bowen. He was in the game a lot more than usual and he made some plays. In the first series of the game he rushed the QB from a standing position as the Cowboys were playing games at the line and got to Grossman to force an incomplete pass. In a series l...

The Cowboys are one of five undefeated teams left in the NFL. Over in the AFC, the recent powers continue to shine as the Colts, Patriots and Steelers are all 3-0. In the NFC, Dallas and Green Bay are the last two standing. That’s so 90’s. Leading the NFC’s elite, we have Favre and Son of Favre .

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
The run defense was bad, especially on one side of the line. The corners also struggled, and overall the Cowboys couldn't create sustained pressure and only had one sack. It did appear that the Cowboys weren't quite as blitz-happy as they were last week and stayed in base formation a lot, for...

TM: The offense was very good last year – the best statistically since the Cowboys’ Super Bowl teams – and made a major upgrade at right guard by signing Bigg Davis. The defense was pretty good until the bottom fell out in December, and Wade Phillips was hired to fix it. Sure looks good so far. The...

The Cowboys also have to look at replacing left tackle Flozell Adams, who is in the final year of his contract. If Tony Romo takes a step back, they might have to look at a quarterback, too. Maybe the delay in getting a receiver will work. The Cowboys got a nice pass-rusher in Anthony Spencer in th...

The Cowboys could use a punt return guy and you usually get those from the CB or the WR position. Since the Cowboys have a need anyway for help at those two positions, it’s likely that we will get a few candidates in the draft. Also, with the need for some depth at LB, the Cowboys will get some youn...
