i think the cowboys will end up somewhere around a 10-6 or 11-5 record. they have the talent to go to the superbowl and beat any team in the nfl, but they have been too inconsistent.
the cowboys will only win if tony romo improves and is more consistent, and that will already be a difficult task with terry glenn out. not to mention that glenn and owens are both aging. the offensive line is good, but they are not among the upper echelon in offensive lines in the league, and i don't know if they will end up doing well in the long run against teams with good defensive lines that could go to the playoffs (chicago, philadelphia, new orleans). again, the most important piece in the cowboys offensive line, pro-bowler left tackle flozell adams needs to stay healthy. plus, like owens and glenn, he too is aging.
the fast cowboys defense will be able to stop the run. i'm not too worried about that. i'm hoping the cowboys blitzing schemes will not be too predictable. aside from pro-bowler linebacker/end demarcus ware,the cowboys have no other pass rushing threat besides greg ellis, and he is not 100%. also, towards the end of the season, the cowboys ended up giving too many big passing plays. ken hamlin has to be the centerfield type safety to help over the top, and so this will allow roy williams to blitz and stop the run, which he is more accustomed to.
