Dec 18th, 2012 by Jimmy Kempski. • Dwayne Harris is clearly the #3 WR now, and he may even be good enough that the Cowboys don’t really have to worry about the WR position this offseason. Great “yards after catch” ability. He gets north-south, and gobbles up yards quickly. The same can be...

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can't help but think about the New York Giants going from 7-7 to a Super Bowl title last season. It probably wouldn't hurt to remind him that the Green Bay Packers had a defense that overcame injuries and won a championship a year earlier —...
