Bill Parcells has finally left the NFL for what looks like his last time. He says he left the Cowboys in good shape, which he did, but is his leaving the Cowboys that big a deal?With all the coverage about him leaving, you would think that he has taken the Cowboys to a few Super Bowls and the Cowboys are going to suffer in a big way without the Tuna.

At the end of the day, the Cowboys were just a 9-7 wild card team that could be world beaters one game, and be terrible the next week, as the game against Detroit displayed. No doubt he was a good coach, but that team needs a lot of improvement. Althought when Joe Buck and Troy Aikman covered Cowboys games they praised the Dallas offensive line a lot, in reality the line was terrible. Marc Colombo should not be a starter anywhere. We had him in Chicago and couldnt wait to get rid of him. The only reason he didnt give up many sacks is because Dallas alwaays had their tight ends or running backs helping him out. He is a liability and must be replaced. I dont know the rest of the names on their line but they do not do a good job at all. Tony Romo has proved to be a solid quarterback that doesnt get rattled easily, and if TO stops dropping the ball and the Running game plays well their offens is capable of doing damage.

But ojn the defensive side of the ball, their are problems everywhere. The only player sthat gets a pass is Terrence Newman and DeMarcus Ware. They are above average players that get the job done. Besides for Newman, their linebackers and secondary is very mediocre at best. Roy Williams does not deserve to go to the Pro Bwls and gets by on name recognition alone. He cant defend the pass and he just gets a few hard hits in once in a while. If you wanna see a real safety watch Mike Brown of the Bears. He is always breaking up plays and is near the ball on every play. He is a real impact player. On the line you cant help but feel for Ware. He has no help from any of the other lineman. He has to face double and triple teams and still gets the job done. Anthony Henry is terrible, and when push comes to shove, the Cowboys can get lit up by any team with a decent offensive attack.

The 'boys need to go after a defensive coach, maybe Ron Rivera from the Bears or the guy that the steelers dont chose.(is the word out on who the real choice is yet?) While the Bears defense is very good, it really isnt Rivera's scheme but just Rivera running the scheme that Lovie chose. Dont forget, Rivera played for the 85' Bears under Buddy Ryan and he know the system well. I think he would be a good fit for the Cowboys.
