AP Pro32 comments about Cowboys

Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 15) — Even if Dez Bryant avoids trouble, playoff hopes in trouble if they don't keep pass rushers away from Tony Romo.

Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 12) — Jason Witten's injury could leave Tony Romo without his go-to guy to start season.

Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 17) — Curious to see how much better they are on defense.

Bob Glauber (Newsday, 14) — Tony Romo too often gets bad rap for being problem in Dallas. He comes off great statistical year, but there wasn't enough around him to pull off playoff run. Fearing that might be case again in '12.

Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 16) — Cowboys and Redskins only two teams who open season with two road games. That's unfair scheduling by league.

Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 16) — Forget the Giants. It's time Dallas "beats somebody's else's (butt)," as Jerry Jones would put it.

Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 8) — Jerry Jones may have faith in Jason Garrett, but Dallas fans will be clamoring for Jon Gruden if Cowboys fade once again in December.
