Cowboys 2010 NFL season ended with the
Cowboys beating the Philadelphia Eagles
14-13. Although it sounds like a victory, there
is little to be cheered about by Cowboy fans.
Philadelphia is preparing for the playoffs and
held out most of their star players. Dallas had
its first string players in the game facing the
back-ups for Philly and trailed in the game until
the final minute. Steven McGee was starting his
very first game as a member of the Cowboys
Roy Williams, Martilis Bennett, and others failed
to play up to par. Dallas needs to take a look at
some of the players that turned 2010 into a dismal
6-10 season. This is the team that pre-season polls
picked to be in the Super Bowl. The Cowboys first
move should be to re-build the defensive secondary.
The current secondary has more holes in it than a
slice of Swiss cheese. Linebacker Keith Brooking has
given the Cowboys two good years, but it is time for
him to go also. I am not one of the Cowboy fans spoiled
by the successful years; I was a fan in 1960 when Dallas
went through the season 0-11-1. They sucked then but
they were still my team. The same goes for now, but I
just can't stand it when lesser teams have such success
against the Cowboys, and most of the time it is on big
plays involving the secondary. Interim Head Coach Jason
Garrett is not the worst pick to coach the Cowboys in 2011, but he too needs to show some improvement in play-calling when the team is on offense. 2010 is behind us, and now it is time to start looking forward to next year.
