First Dez Bryant, Now Tony Romo, who is going to keep the Cowboys offense afloat?

Injuries are a part of football, just like heat is a part of an Ohio summer and this year has been no different. During preseason starting corner back Orlando Scandrick was lost for the season with a torn ACL. The defense was able to rally around a big loss with others stepping up.

First week of the season they lost star receiver Dez Bryant with a broken foot for at first believed to be 4-8 weeks, now 10-12 weeks, but in reality he might be gone for the season just ask Julio Jones who had a similar injury in recent years and missed the season afterwards. Dez is the emotional leader of the team and a threat anytime he’s on the field.

That’s a big blow right? Now during week two they lose quarterback Tony Romo with a broken clavicle for 8-12 weeks. We bag on Romo all the time because of his past failures, but honestly he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the game and with the new style of offense they run it really keeps Romo from having to do everything himself.

The Cowboys are 2-0 and even though I despise them I kind of, slightly feel sorry for them. I mean they are about to start Brandon Weeden for at least 2 months. Think about that, it kind of makes me laugh (inserts Weeden video).I know he led you guys on a game winning drive last week, but don’t drink the kool-aid Jim Jones I mean Jerry Jones is trying to feed you. Weeden is who we think he is in the famous words of Denny Green.

How will they replace or ease the pain of not having Dez Bryant? It will be a joint effort between Terrence Williams, Devin Street and Gavin Escobar. We all know that Jason Witten if healthy will be the go to receiver now so the others around him have to step up. With that offensive line will be the backbone of the offense and should allow the running backs whomever it is some daylight. Unless Weeden goes pure Weeden then you might see 8-9 men boxes on a normal basis.

If the Cowboys can play .500 ball while Romo is out they will have a fighting chance on making the playoffs this year. Let’s see how this plays out.

Note: They traded for Matt Cassel (inserts jokes).
