an opposing team's scout sizes up the Cowboys

"Offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet has always liked to go with strong pocket passers, which is why I see him pushing for Chad Hutchinson to play over Quincy Carter sometime during the year. Carter will keep his job if he's accurate....

I can't help thinking the Emmitt Smith record [his bid to become the NFL's alltime leading rusher] is going to be a weight on this team. Troy Hambrick's a better back right now. He should play a lot....

Andre Gurode looked terrific against the middle of Oakland's line in the preseason. It's rare to have a 326-pound athlete at center....

Antonio Bryant might be a head case, but he also might be another Michael Irvin. Tough, athletic receiver....

Defensively, I wonder who's going to rush the quarterback from end or linebacker. Greg Ellis is solid against the run, but he's not fast enough on the pass rush. I like Kevin Hardy, if he's got anything left....

La'Roi Glover slowed down last year in New Orleans, but playing next to a bull like Brandon Noble should make him an excellent rusher. Noble's a great force against the run. You can't push him around....

It's a good thing there aren't a bunch of strong-armed, pinpoint passers in the NFC East, because the Dallas cornerbacks could be a disaster. There's not a cover corner in the group....

From Day One, Roy Williams will be a tremendous safety if the Cowboys let him fly around."
