The Dallas Cowboys trying to get back in the playoffs so they’re looking to get back to their 2014 formula. So they drafted running back Ezekiel Elliott to replace 2014 rushing champion DeMarco Murray. Murray kept the suspect Cowboys off the field by controlling the ball and the clock.
Elliott is a better running back than Murray so he will be able to cover the Cowboys defense up even more. And at the same time, the Cowboys actually have a better defense than they did in 2014. No, it’s not great but even with the suspensions, it’s better than what they had in 2014.
So all the team needs is for Tony Romo to stay healthy and they’re on their way back to the playoffs. And as of right now, it looks very much like the Cowboys are going to get that. Romo
is suffering no ill-effects from offseason surgery to his collarbone.
After going under the knife on March 8 to fix his clavicle, he was given six-to-eight weeks to heal. Last month, the Cowboys franchise quarterback was recovered enough to start throwing the ball. And during recent OTAs, quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson hasn’t put see any limitations on Romo.
Wilson told the Dallas Morning News, “He’s looking good. We had two practices where we’ve been out here on the field with the guys and he’s done everything. He’s throwing, he’s got good velocity on all of his throws, great movement in his legs.
“He looks like he’s re-energized because he hadn’t played, you know, missed the majority of the season. So he’s real energized and anxious to get going.”
Romo is expected to be a full participant in organized team activities later this month. That bodes well for the Cowboys’ chances of getting back to the playoffs and making a deep run.
