Challenge No. 1: Build the offense around the strengths of Tony Romo.

Romo led the Cowboys to the playoffs and earned a Pro Bowl nomination as a first-year starter. His 65-percent completion percentage and 95.1 passer rating both ranked near the top of the league. With that kind of production, it's obvious that the Cowboys should build their offense around the Romo's strengths. As a polished passer with outstanding poise, patience and athleticism, Romo has the skills to play any style of offense. New offensive coordinator Jason Garrett simply has to plug in the four tapes of an outstanding November run where he completed over 70 percent of his passes and had a 9-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio to see what Romo does well. Expect the Cowboys to feature a diverse vertical passing attack that takes several shots down the field and incorporates roll outs/bootlegs to take advantage of Romo's athleticism.

Challenge No. 2: Tweak the 3-4 to feature a more aggressive pass rush.

The 3-4 defense new coach Wade Phillips is installing is vastly different than the one used by his predecessor Bill Parcells. Phillips runs an aggressive package built on the strength of his personnel that features an assortment of games, stunts and blitzes to add pressure. The Dallas defense he inherits has several pieces in place. DeMarcus Ware possesses the skills to be on of the top pass rushers in the league and under Phillips the third-year pro will be used exclusively as a pass rusher. And if Phillips stays true to the philosophy that he used in San Diego, he will find an unsung player on the opposite side with complementary rush skills. Shaun Phillips quietly posted double-digits in sacks opposite Shawne Merriman in San Diego and either Anthony Spencer or Greg Ellis will likely do the same in Dallas. With so much attention focused on Ware, the blitz-heavy package will create advantageous one-on-one match ups for their other pass rusher. The wild card player that may benefit the most from the change in philosophy is safety Roy Williams. After making an immediate impact as a rookie as a box defender, Williams spent a lot of his time during the Parcells' era in coverage. Though he occasionally displayed some playmaking skills as a pass defender, the previous staff failed to take advantage of his tackling and blitzing ability.

Challenge No. 3: Make Terrell Owens a big part of the offense.

The temperamental super star brings lots of baggage, but no one can dispute the talent or impact that he has on an offense. With 85 receptions for over 1,100 yards and a league-leading 12 touchdown receptions during an off year, he still deserves to be mentioned as one of the top receivers in the game and merits top billing in the Cowboys' offense.
