You can’t be happy with the fact that Austin doesn’t come in at full strength. He has been dealing with a hamstring issue, which should not keep him out of today’s game, but should limit him. Not good news for someone on the Island.
.
The good news for Miles is his quarterback is back. With Tony Romo he started off the season on fire, picking up three 140+ yard, TD games in the first four weeks of the year.
.
Not that I expect him to drop anything close to that against the Jets, but clearly he is one of Romo’s preferred targets.
.
Problem is he has lots of company.
.
Jason Witten is one of the premiere tight ends in the league and another guy that has Romo’s trust. They have played together a long time and have formed a great rapport. Though last year he had more success when Romo wasn’t under center. Considering who the Jets have at cornerback though, Witten could be the best way to move the chains.
.
The Cowboys also have Felix Jones who is looking to finally reach his expectations. He will be very active in the passing game as well to keep the Cowboys’ pass rush honest.
.
Did I mention budding star Dez Bryant? He may not make the best decisions off-the-field, but he has a world of talent on it. Romo will not shy away from Dez.
.
That’s a lot of mouths to feed going up against a fierce defense, especially for a guy that’s banged up. I don’t have Miles in any leagues so I can’t say with certainty whether or not I’d have the guts to bench him, but if I had an attractive option, I would consider doing just that.
