You have to be feeling good about your squad right now, or at least the offense. I will admit that I’m not a Tony Romo believer yet, but he looked pretty sharp. And I’m also slightly biased on the subject of ex-Gopher and fellow Minnesotan Marion Barber III, but I would love to see him in there on first and second down more often. I think he’s as talented as JJ and a stronger runner who would wear defenses down more than Jones does. But they’re a great one-two punch either way.

I’m also a big Jason Witten fan, but I was a little nervous that Crayton would be cutting into his looks over the middle. He’s certainly one of the most talented and pure TEs in the NFL, I think he’s a better football player than Todd Heap or Jeremy Shockey. Witten looked much better with Romo last year than he did with Bledsoe, so we could be looking at a return to 2004 stats (87 receptions, 980 yards, 6 TDs). That would easily make him a top-3 TE.

I will ask that we tap the breaks on putting MB III in the “exclusive role”. He had that opportunity last year and it did not work. I think what makes him so great is that he stays fresh and makes the absolute MOST out of every carry. It’s like a beast let out of a cage when he is put on the field. However, when he is the starter he tends to relax and let the ‘locks hang.

One more touch… I wanted to give your ETB team, and the player himself, credit for what was laid down on Sunday. You predicted Andre Johnson coming out early and being a great FF play this week. It happened, to the beat of a 7 catch, 142 yd, 1 Touchdown day. Hats off to ETB and Aun-dray. I see plenty more of this guy getting his.

Cowboys Homer for Life.
Romo + T.O. = Magnificent
Where’s the love for Witten?
