During the off-season, the Cowboys decided enough was enough as they let Terrell Owens walk. There’s no question about it that it was a necessary move to make if Dallas wants to begin to rebuild their team chemistry. On the field, the Cowboys will be without their go-to receiver from a season ago, forcing Roy Williams to step up and be the number one guy. Dallas gave up a lot to bring him in to be the complimentary receiver to Owens last season, but now that things have changed. The Cowboys are going to need Williams to be the work-horse if they are to sustain the same kind of success they had a season ago. Everyone knows what the Dallas ground game is capable of and that should be able to help Romo and company in the passing game. Marion Barber and Felix Jones will perhaps be one of the best one-two punches in the entire league and if they are tearing it up on the ground, Romo and his receivers will have it easier on them.

Defensively, the Cowboys secondary will be put the test. Terrell Owens wasn’t the only guy they let walk this off-season. Safety Roy Williams, not to be confused with wide receiver Roy Williams, was given his walking papers this off-season. While he wasn’t the best cover safety, he was still a play maker. Now Terrance Newman and company must step up and try and limit the big plays in the passing game. The front-seven of the the Cowboys appears to be solid enough, but can they generate enough pressure in the passing game and will stopping the run be easy for them?
