Tuna, Keyshawn talk Cowboys
Actually, Bill Parcells and Keyshawn Johnson touched on every team in the NFL during their ESPN Radio show last night.
The Tuna was non-committal about the NFC East race, saying it was a three-team fight between the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants. Sounded like he was leaning toward Philly. He called RB Brian Westbrook the MVP of the division and said Donovan McNabb's experience was a significant edge.
Keyshawn picked the Cowboys to win the East, but he didn't sound too sure.
Here's what they said about the Cowboys:
Parcells: "They’re going to be counting on Tony Romo. If he gets it done, I think they’ve got enough around him to do a lot of things offensively. Defensively, I think their Achilles’ heel could be the corner position, age-wise. And also the age of the wide receivers – Keyshawn, don’t get upset now – the age of the wide receivers is a little bit of a factor. And Greg Ellis being out of Dallas and not in the mix right now, his uncertainty I think will hurt them eventually."
Keyshawn: "I like the Dallas Cowboys in this division to win this division, but they have a lot of uncertainty across the board. You lose an offensive-minded coach in Todd Haley. He goes to Arizona. You still have some of the holdovers there, but you also lose your head coach. You bring in a guy like Wade Phillips, who track record-wise hasn’t gotten it done. But they have enough players. Coach Parcells left the cupboard pretty full. They have enough players in Tony Romo and Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn and Jason Witten. If Julius Jones can finally stop pouting and just run the football like his brother and play tough, the running game can be a solid running game."
