Dallas Cowboys depth chart
Mike Baldwin breaks down the Cowboy's depth chart
OFFENSE
QB
9 Tony Romo;6-2;228
18 Kyle Orton;6-4;225
Quarterback analysis: Romo has a better career quarterback rating (96.9) than Tom Brady (96.4) and Peyton Manning (94.9). Romo owns several franchise passing records and is 47-30 as a starter. He has a solid career 2-to-1 TD-to-interception ratio. But until he improves on a 9-18 record in games after Dec. 1 he will face criticism for late-season meltdowns. Orton, 35-34 as a starter, is a quality backup.
RB
29 DeMarco Murray;6-0;227
28 Felix Jones;5-10;217
FB
47 Lawrence Vickers;6-0;250
Running back analysis: Murray was on pace to shatter Tony Dorsett's single-season rookie rushing record before suffering a fractured ankle on Dec. 11. Murray also is a big-play threat as a receiver out of the backfield. Jones, who lost his starting job to Murray, has more career fumbles (10) than TDs (8) but is a quality No. 2 back.
TE
82 Jason Witten;6-6;265
89 John Phillips;6-5;261
WR
88 Dez Bryant;6-2;218
85 Kevin Ogletree;6-1;190
15 Andre Holmes;6-5;208
WR
19 Miles Austin;6-2;215
17 Dwayne Harris;5-10;208
11 Cole Beasley;5-8;177
Receivers analysis: Bryant, Austin and Witten are a formidable trio if they're healthy. Bryant, also in the news for off-field issues, has 17 TDs his first two seasons but has missed five games. Austin has 26 TDs the past three years but missed six games last season. Witten has a lacerated spleen and is questionable for Wednesday's season opener.
LT
77 Tyron Smith;6-5;311
78 Jeremy Parnell;6-6;305
LG
71 Nate Livings;6-5;332
76 Derrick Dockery;6-6;325
C
67 Phil Costa;6-3;315
63 Ryan Cook;6-6;325
RG
73 Mackenzy Bernadeau;6-4;308
62 David Arkin;6-5;310
RT
68 Doug Free;6-6;323
78 Jeremy Parnell;6-6;305
Offensive line analysis: A problem area last year, the Cowboys signed two free agents (Livings and Bernadeau) and traded for Cook who provides depth. How the new-look O-line plays is a key variable for an offense loaded with dynamic weapons. Romo once again will have to improvise if the line isn't noticeably improved under former Nebraska coach Bill Callahan.
