"Do you think Spears and Lissemore can handle the middle? Do you think Rat and Hatcher can be good at DE?

Lissemore played a lot in the middle this year. I think Spears is better at end, and I think Ratliff and Hatcher are good at DE if that's where you want to play Ratliff. Lissemore is an excellent complementary player.

Tony Romo gets compared to Staubach and Aikman a lot, but he doesn't exactly have the same supporting cast.

I think Romo is neither of those two, and he's not done yet. It's not Romo's problem that folks compare him to two Hall of Famers, it's the problem of people doing the comparing. He's good and getting better at being Romo. That's all you can ask him to be. It may yet be good enough. The story's still playing out.

I will say this, though. In the time Romo has been the starter, he has not had a running game with the consistency of what Troy and Roger had. Not an excuse, it's just what is."
