Dallas Cowboys

Dallas are already in trouble for the 2016 season, already missing 2 starters in Gregory and McClain with suspension. The positives thou are Bryant and Romo are healthy but for how long. Romo went down twice with a collarbone injury last season and they had no real answer going through a few backups.

The big pick up from the draft was 4th selection overall Ezekiel Elliott, every NFL supporter is looking forward to seeing this guy run behind the Cowboys offensive line that allowed Murray so many yards in 2014. The last two seasons in College had Elliott run for over 1800 yards each season with 18 and 23 TD's respectively. The kids a jet!

Dez Bryant, when on is one of the best Wide Receivers in the league. Ability wise he is pretty unstoppable but unfortunately he has pretty poor attitude when things aren't going his way. In 2015 he suffered through some injury worries and was only able to play 9 games with a foot injury keeping him out. The 3 prior seasons he had over 1000 yards each season. He was a catch away from putting the Cowboys through to the NFC Championship game in 2014..we all know he caught the thing!!

With Tony Romo being so injury prone over the last year the Cowboys went to the draft with the selection of Dak Prescott. Dak threw for 3500 roughly in both 2014 and 2015 at Mississippi State and will be a real asset for the team moving forward, but as we know there is a massive jump from NCAA to NFL. The depth chart has him 3rd in line behind Kellen Moore.

The Cowboys have a pretty solid line of Tight Ends in Witten the veteran and Escobar. Escobar showed he is a solid back up to witten with 4 TD's in 2014 and just the one last season. Witten now into his 14th NFL season doesnt show signs of slowing down. He went for 713 yards on 77 receptions last season which is pretty solid for a Tight End.

Another rookie to keep an eye on is Notre Dame recruit Jaylon Smith. Smith will be out for sometime recovering from a knee but showed last year at Notre Dame that he is a star in the making. The Cowboys selected him with pick 34 and it seems from some news reports they are worried if he will ever play again. Time will tell.

They have a pretty good start to the season with some soft games but knowing the Cowboys they could go 0-4 or 4-0 its really so unpredictable. If Romo stays on the field with Bryant and Elliott lives up to promise I can see the team scoring enough to compete even with the suspensions on the D. I have them going 8-8. This will mean they win their Division due to it being full of under performing teams.
