With just an hour-long broadcast, many email questions often get passed over on the Cowboys Break online radio show. But all questions are appreciated and we'll try to answer them in some form or fashion. After Tuesday's show, Bryan Broaddus answered a few that didn't make the air.
BRANDON MAXWELL
DALLAS, TX
Could the Cowboys play Morris Claiborne in the slot and put Mike Jenkins and Brandon Carr on the outside? They're the three best corners on this team.
Broaddus: Claiborne has normally played as the right corner in his career although I have seen him cover in the slot some. But Orlando Scandrick is your slot corner and for how bad he struggled some last year, they are still going to have him do the job.

I think Anthony Spencer will greatly benefit from the upgraded secondary. Do you think Jerry and Stephen Jones should try to work out a long-term deal with him before the season, or do you think they should wait to see how he performs at the risk of possibility having to pay more to keep him?
Broaddus: I think that the front office is going to let this ride and see what happens. This is the risk you take, but to be honest, with Kyle Wilber now in the mix, they have at least protected themselves.
CLIFF MOWER
SCARBOROUGH, ME
With the cornerback upgrades, should we expect significantly more blitzing this year?
Broaddus: The overall feeling from the front office was that it wasn't the pass rush but the coverage. If you have players like Carr, Claiborne and Jenkins, that can play man coverage and mirror receivers all day, you should get your rush home.
KYLE FORCHETTI
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ
What do you look for in a slot wide receiver and a slot cornerback?
Broaddus: Quickness and the ability to react on your feet. You have to be a savvy player to play in the slot. You have to adjust and read what is happening to you. A slot receiver can run his route anywhere and a slot corner has to be prepared to carry the receiver all over the field.
DAVID OKE
BOSTON, MA
If money's not a factor, who do you keep, Marcus Spears or Kenyon Coleman?
Broaddus: I am not a big Coleman fan, but that's just my view. For six to eight games he is OK, but after that you get a player that wears down. If I had to make a choice, I would go with Spears.
