About the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to get back into the playoffs, like they tasted last season.  The team has successfully gone through a mini youth movement and, over the last two seasons, dumped players long in the tooth.  Gone from seasons past are Terrell Owens (replaced by Austin), Anthony Henry and Pacman Jones (replaced by Mike Jenkins), Greg Ellis (replaced by Anthony Spencer).  This offseason was no different as Flozell Adams and Ken Hamlin have been replaced by Doug Free and Alan Ball. 

So what does all this mean?  Well, it means that the Cowboys are again poised for another 11-5 season or better.  In the draft, the Cowboys picked up much talked about receiver Dez Bryant.  If the team is worried about the movement, the head coach surely isn’t.  "You try to get your best guys on the field," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "It doesn’t matter what age they are or what year they are, if they’re your best athlete or your best player, you try to get them on the field. Experience means a lot in some cases, but ability means the most."
