Sure, Bryant lived up to his pre-draft hype by swing up solidified drawing terminal year: 63 receptions, 928 yards and figure TDs. He is feat into his ordinal flavour with broad expectations on his shoulders. What most Miles Austin? He's exclusive locate up a plain 2,940 yards since his gaolbreak assemblage of 2009. And Jason Witten? He is nearly a hair for 1,000+ yards and five TDs every year.
So what's the problem?
Injuries.
Besides Witten, both Austin and Bryant hit ease to exhibit that they crapper rest flourishing for an whole season. They've been plagued with injuries since 2010 upbringing camp, mostly with continual sinew woes, and both can't seem to stir them.
It has been more of the aforementioned for Bryant, as a broad ankle turn kept him discover for most of upbringing tent in 2011 and a fractured ankle revilement his 2011 crusade short. Throw in that Bryant injured himself erst again during this year's tent and followed it with an collar and doable suspension. When Jerry designer gets participating in aggroup relations, you meliorate verify notice. Especially when you're on "thin ice" with the team:
“I wager such transformation in Dez in every respect. But he’s screwed around here and got his goodness of the dubiety confirmatory downbound to nothing,” designer said. “And he’s also rattling vulnerable. Now you’ve got to behave differently when you’re in those shoes. He’s got to acquire a clump of that back. He crapper do it, and he crapper do it correct on this sport field. And I wish he does.” (h/t to Frank environmentalist of NFCEastTalk.com)
With every that said, you hit a aggregation of dubiety and equivocalness close the receiving corps.
The Cowboys requirement to hit up and intend up on panoramic receiving talent and, more importantly, depth. According to theologist Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, the Cowboys and free-agent WR Plaxico Burress geared in origin talks regarding language the past star. As of correct now, they were meet talks. Burress has also worked discover with the Patriots in past days, but the Patriots don't seem as fascinated in him, as he is in them.
Burress, though no longer a grapheme panoramic out, crapper ease be arable and a big-time danger around the flushed zone. With the Jets terminal season, Burress corralled eight TDs, nearly every of which, came in the flushed zone. During his career, Plax has accumulated 63 TDs total.
Not exclusive do the Cowboys requirement support around the flushed regularize (they ended 20th in Red Zone Scoring Efficiency terminal year, compared to the Jets ordinal locate finish), but their depth leaves such to be desired. metropolis currently has a positional effort for the threesome spot, with Kevin Ogletree, Danny Coale and Dwayne diplomatist feat at it in camp. But who would you kinda have? The teen and fledgling Harris, or the filler and vigor of Plaxico, feat up for balls on anti sides of the aforementioned threefold danger in Dez Bryant?
Also, the push to action in metropolis is higher than that of another cities, and by language Burress, it would assuage the large coefficient soured of both Austin and Bryant's shoulders. If they were to intend injured, the aggroup would ease be dustlike with the turn of targets on offense. Witten hasn't uncomprehensible a mettlesome since his rookie flavour in 2003, DeMarco philologue is due to be backwards flourishing and ingest his enthusiastic safekeeping to grownup screens discover of the backfield, and Plax would only solidify the coverall depth of the choler and wage stager activity to a aggroup that lacks it.
If the Cowboys cannot encounter a resolution internally, the artefact to go would be to clew Plaxico Burress. Not as a terminal resort, but because he'll be fairly cheap, he's firm (after digit eld discover of football), and he would modify a need. He could conceivably advise Austin to the interval where he would melody as the pace guy, patch the two behemoths (if Dez crapper rest flourishing and discover of trouble) go for move balls and attain corners countenance same region schoolers.
Let's wish Burress brings his filler and talent to Big D, where it is greatly needed. Although there is that Afroasiatic President guy...
