Dez Bryant should excel despite Cowboys running game

After finishing 2015 with a 4-12 season ending record, the Dallas Cowboys were expected to make some well-earned adjustments to their roster this offseason.

The Cowboys running back situation seemed to stabilize as the season progressed as veteran runner Darren McFadden finished the year with 1,089 rushing yards despite only starting in 10 games. A much bigger concern was Dallas’ wide receiver corps that all but folded when they lost All-Pro Dez Bryant to injury in Week One.

Unable to build chemistry with any of their back-up quarterbacks, which was due to the two collarbone injuries sustained by starter Tony Romo, the group of Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Devin Street, Brice Butler and Lucky Whitehead underwhelmed in Bryant’s absence.
