Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The Cowboys have a couple needs this off-season, one of which is no longer a linebackers coach since yesterday they hired West Texas A&M assistant Bob King to replace the departed Dat Nguyen.
Head coach Wade Phillips (who knew he had a fun, playful side?) and staff are off to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis next week.
Other than re-signing receiver Miles Austin, what are the Cowboys' priorities?
I say it's:
1. Offensive tackle - I know Doug Free played well, but Flozell Adams is in decline and there's no way the Cowboys will enjoy another almost injury-free season like they did in 2009.
2. Kicker - Since, grudgingly, we have to have one, might as well get a good one. I think they should re-sign Nick Folk for another go round, you?
3. Safety - Ken Hamlin was awful at times and, though Adam Ball was sufficient in spots, they could use a play-making ball-hawk in the secondary.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
