Can Garrett's Offense Thrive Without a Deep Threat?


DALLAS - In just two seasons leading the Dallas Cowboys offense, Jason Garrett has proven that with a solid running game and at least one decent deep threat at wide receiver his offensive scheme can be one of the most productive in the league.

The unceremonious dismissal of the Cowboys purest vertical offensive threat, Terrell "the terrible" Owens, earlier this year signified to this observer that change was coming.

Whether it's a change for the better or a change worst is still up for debate.

The aching feeling fans still have in their gut over how last season ended with the 44-3 drubbing at the hands of the hated Philadelphia Eagles will only intensify if the Cowboys do not produce immediately in 2009.

Getting back a healthy Felix Jones at running back will help bolster the backfield and rejuvenate the mid-range passing attack. But, who will step up and help stretch the field 20 yards and beyond?

T. O., as unabashed as he may be about getting the ball thrown his way, with the brash receiver, the Cowboys offense ranked fifth in the league in passing in 2006 and fourth in 2007 respectfully.
