Dallas Cowboys Roster: Jason Garrett to Assess Offensive Line, Including QBs
After a recent 30-6 loss against the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is set to evaluate the team's offensive line, including his quarterbacks.
With two weeks to spare until their next game against the New York Giants on Oct. 25, per the Cowboys' website, Garrett has plenty of time to look into the Cowboys' offense, reported NFL.com. Yet, the Dallas team's mentor is actually going to assess everyone also, even the defense.
"We're gonna evaluate our quarterbacks, we're gonna evaluate our offensive line, we're gonna evaluate our tight ends, our receivers, our running backs, everybody on defense and everybody in the kicking game," Garrett said.
It is crucial for the Dallas, which posts a 2-3 win-loss record, to get their act together, especially in all their five games, it was the first time they scored less than 20 points. Although the Cowboys lost big time to none other than the reigning NFL Super Bowl champions and is undefeated with a perfect 4-0 record, Garrett will still do what needs to be done.
The team needs to deliver well in their next few games, especially with the Giants and last year's Super Bowl contender Seattle Seahawks waiting for them soon.
The Cowboys should exert more effort playing against the Giants the second time around. Although they defeated the New York team with a narrow margin of a 27-26 score on their first game, it's mainly because wide receiver Dez Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo were still active then. Bryant sustained a foot injury during the first game, per Sports Center, while Romo fractured his clavicle during the second game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per a separate NFL.com report.
ESPN informed that Bryant is recovering from his injury, but with him not even practicing on the field yet, he may still not be available on Oct. 25.
Team owner Jerry Jones admits that the team needs "a better offense, and usually that does include better, more effective quarterback play," Yahoo! Sports noted.
So, is the team's quarterback, Brandon Weeden, Romo's back-up, will also say goodbye to his position this week after three consecutive losses with him under center?
Although Garrett remains mum on who to assign as the Cowboys quarterback following Week 6, there's a chance that newly acquired quarterback Matt Cassel may get that role, as he has the respect of the coach, noted the team's site. Moreover, he's reportedly "comfortable" with the team's system, so it's highly probable he could be called anytime soon.
"He's worked hard, he's a veteran player, he's a smart guy, he's been here for a little bit...But he's certainly comfortable with our system," Garrett said.
