Dallas fans can still look forward to cheering for Emmitt Smith, who will continue to plod his way toward Walter Payton's rushing record, but the rest of the offense looks dubious at best. The Cowboys signed Carl Pickens, who has done nothing but disappoint the last few seasons. Incidentally, he also doesn't have any hamstrings and he's thinking about retiring. Banks' lack of accuracy isn't going to help. Rocket Ismail is the other deep threat.
Banks has the arm to get it to both receivers deep, but the group is shaky at best.
Emmitt Smith might find yards hard to come by simply because teams will be able to key on the run until Banks proves his worth. The playoffs are out of the question, so Dallas fans will be circling the dates with Washington on their calendars. If nothing else, they always seem to beat the Redskins and it will be particularly embarrassing for the folks in our nation's capital this year. Their two games with the Cardinals will determine last place in the division. The good news is that they'll finally have a first-round draft pick again next year, and it's going to be a high one.
