"On the talent level of the Cowboys' roster:

I listed six guys – Romo, Witten, DeMarcus Ware , Jay Ratliff, Sean Lee and Dan Bailey – those six are as good any playing their positions in the NFL . And I think Dez Bryant , DeMarco Murray, Tyron Smith, there are a few others that could go into that group. That's nine guys next year that are potential blue-chip players on this team. We learned from Jimmy Johnson, you win with your blue-chip players. The Cowboys have an ample amount of blue-chip caliber players. The key is now you've got to fill in around them, you've got to find some guys that can cover against the pass, you've got to find another pass rusher, you've got to find some bigger interior blocks, but the nucleus is there for this team to be a playoff contender."
