The Cowboys, like every other NFL team, will feature plenty of new faces on their roster this season. Here are a few with whom to familiarize yourself. CLINT HALE | 210SA ADAM BERGEN Position: Tight end Previous team: Arizona Height, weight: 6-4, 267 College: Lehigh Pro: Bergen's size will make him a valuable blocker in three tight end sets. Con: With Jason Witten and Anthony Fasano at the tight end spot, playing time will be hard to come by for Bergen. LEONARD DAVIS Position: Offensive lineman Previous team: Arizona Height, weight: 6-6, 366 College: Texas Pro: The mammoth Davis should provide plenty of protection for quarterback Tony Romo. Con: Davis hasn't been as dominant as some expected, considering he was taken second overall in the 2001 NFL Draft. WADE PHILLIPS Position: Head coach Previous team: San Diego (defensive coordinator) College: Houston Career head coaching record: 48-42 Pro: Phillips is a master of Dallas' 3-4 defensive scheme, having utilized the same setup in San Diego. Con: He has never won a playoff game as a head coach. JASON GARRETT Position: Offensive coordinator Previous team: Miami (quarterbacks coach) College: Princeton Pro: Garrett is considered one of the top young assistant coaches in the NFL. Con: Youth also translates into inexperience. KEN HAMLIN Position: Safety Previous team: Seattle Height, weight: 6-2, 209 College: Arkansas Pro: Hamlin is experienced, having started 52 games during his four-year career. Con: He struggles from time to time in pass coverage situations. ANTHONY SPENCER Position: Defensive end/linebacker Previous team: Rookie Height, weight: 6-3, 265 College: Purdue Pros: Spencer is quick and a formidable pass rusher. Con: Expect Spencer to struggle, particularly in his rookie campaign, against bulkier, more physical offensive linemen. |
