Will Tony Pollard be the Cowboys’ workhorse RB?
With only Ronald Jones II, Malik Davis and rookie Deuce Vaughn guiding him, Pollard will get a likelihood for a major job with the Cowboys. Pollard earned Professional Bowl honors last period with 631 touches for 1,378 yards and 12 touchdowns. He should really have extra touches, more overall yards and, the Cowboys hope, extra touchdowns in 2023.
Which limited conclusion will emerge as the starter?
Jake Ferguson showed guarantee his rookie season, but in playing 40 % of the snaps, he created only 19 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys drafted Michigan limited close Luke Schoonmaker in the next round for a reason, but Brandin Cooks is heading to get extra of the targets than Dalton Schultz received past year. Jason Witten’s 35 catches for 347 yards and a landing as a rookie in 2003 are likely a good guess as to what Schoonmaker will do as a rookie.
Brandin Cooks or Michael Gallup: Who generates a lot more as the WR2?
Gallup returned from an ACL tear in 2022, coming again in less than a yr. He will participate in greater this period — 20 months right after his harm at the start of the season — than he did past season. Gallup ought to return to his sort from 2019-20 when he averaged 63 catches, 975 yards and almost six touchdowns. If he does not, the Cowboys will launch him in the offseason. Cooks has experienced seven 1,000-property seasons and is actively playing with a improved quarterback than he experienced the earlier two seasons with the Texans, but he is not the No. 1 receiver in Dallas — and probably not the No. 2.
