Dez Bryant will strike fantasy gold this week in Niner country

Article by: Greg Bailey

Looking back at Week One. The Cowboys and JETS were closer than I expected. Rex’s offense was “throw first” after Dallas shut down their running backs. Tony Romo was lights out and in the fourth quarter, he had the Cowboys out. Everyone is killing Romo this week, but the truth is that no other QB (Brady, Manning, Brees) has put up the points and numbers like Romo. Don’t kill Tony’s complete game performance, only criticize the fourth quarter mistake. I even give him credit for trying to make a running play that turned into a turnover. He’s a top 7 QB in the league. The Jets barely got passed the Boys.

Now, we’re on the cusp of a new challenge. And a new challenger: The San Francisco 49ers. Can Dallas go west and come out with a victory? I think there will be two Cowboys in particular who will strike “Fantasy Gold” this week!

If you are into Fantasy Football, here’s my forecast: (more…)

Terence Newman is 50/50

Terrell Owens attacks the the coaching staff.

Felix Jones is gone for the year.

And now Terence Newman injured his groin and he may not play Sunday.

What a week for the Dallas Cowboys.

Let’s start with Owens:

Apparently, the interview Sunday with Deion Sanders is going to be a doozy. We have no idea what Owens may say, but if it gets any worse than what he has already said, it will be time for Wade Phillips to be ballsy. Suspend Owens for a game. Give the ball to Roy Williams and Marion Barber and see what happens. Of course, Sanders is an entertainer and he very well could have said that to get more people to watch the show on NFL Network at 10 a.m.

As for Felix Jones

If he stays healthy, he had a real chance for rookie of the year, something a Dallas Cowboy has not won since Emmitt Smith in 1990. Jones was an important weapon for the Cowboys on special teams and on certain offensive plays. He had the capability to explode and spread the field out. Losing him is big because ever since he’s been gone, the Cowboys have struggled.

Terence Newman played so well against the Washington Redskins.

If Newman cannot play, the pressure is back on rookie Mike Jenkins, who has been inconsistent. We know Jenkins can think too much while on the field and avoid big hits. In the secondary, that’s an unhealthy attitude to have. The concern is even when Newman is 50-50 on the field, he doesn’t play well. It is really unfortunate how he has had health problems the last two seasons.

The Dallas Cowboys host a pesky San Fransisco 49ers team led by a fiery coach. The 49ers have a real decent running back in Frank Gore. All of these setbacks can cause problems for the Cowboys if the coaching staff isn’t doing the right thing. The Cowboys don’t want to overlook this team and hopefully the mindset is to prepare for a battle.
