Dallas Cowboys 2008 Preview

A look back at the 2007 Dallas Cowboys can be summed up in a couple of worlds, crushing and disappointing. After looking set to make a Super Bowl run with a regular 13-3 record, division title, and first-round bye, the season ended in chaos with another first-round playoff loss. With a poor finish, Jerry Jones went to work in the offseason, and it looks like he did everything he could this year in an attempt to get the Cowboys back to the Super Bowl.

During the offseason, the Dallas Cowboys lost 6 key veterans in Akin Ayodele, LB; Keith Davis, BC; Anthony Fasano, TE; Jason Ferguson, TD; Julius Jones, R.B.; Jacque Reeves, CB and counterattacked adding veterans Adam Jones, CB; Cory Lekkerkerker, T; and Zach Thomas, L.B.

The Cowboys’ top 4 draft picks during the 2008 NFL draft were: 1 22 Felix Jones RB 6-0 200 Arkansas; 1 25 Mike Jenkins BC 6-0 200 South Florida; 2 61 Martellus Bennett TE 6-6 259 Texas A&M; 4,122 Tashard Choice RB 5-11,215 Georgia Tech

Keys and questions about the 2008 season of the Dallas Cowboys:

1. Can you keep your mouth shut and play?

2. Will Adam Pacman Jones help or hurt the Cowboys?

3. How will you handle all the distractions like Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson?

4. Will a bad start cost head coach Wade Philips his job?

5. Will having Jason Garrett looking over Coach Wades’ shoulder help or hurt? in focus?

To win the Super Bowl in Dallas Cowboys +400

The prediction for the 2008 Dallas Cowboys is 11-5 and second place in the NFC East, as they should be one of the most complete teams both offensively and defensively in the NFC this season. The Super Bowl drought may end this year, but Wade Phillips has never handled the playoffs well. Look for a great regular season and another playoff flop.
