Three members of the Dallas Cowbys were named to the Associated Press All-Pro Team: linebacker DeMarcus Ware, tight end Jason Witten, and wide receiver Terrell Owens.
Ware
Ware has continued to improve each year since he was drafted in the first round of the 2005 draft. He had 14.0 sacks this season, along with 84 tackles, both of which were career highs. He has become a force that all offenses must recognize.
Witten
Witten led all tight ends with 96 receptions for 1,145 yards, and he had seven touchdowns. He had a career day against Detroit in week 14, catching 15 passes for 138 yards, including the game winner in the final seconds.
Owens
T.O. had his most productive season in years, catching 81 passes for 1,355 yards, a 16.7 average. His 15 touchdown receptions broke the mark of 14 set by Frank Clarke in 1962. Somewhat surprisingly (for some of us, at least), Owens has emerged not only as the star player but also as a team leader this season.
2nd Team
In addition to those three, Leonard Davis and Flozell Adams were named 2nd team All-Pro. Davis was signed during the off-season and turned out to be the missing piece of the offensive line puzzle. Adams had some trouble with penalties early, but otherwise had a very good year.
Did I not say earlier this year regarding Flo, don’t sweat the false starts, the guy is still a great player and we’re lucky to have him. 2nd team All-Pro, not too shabby. That means in the APs estimation there is only one other tackle in the leauge better than Flo.
You usually correct more often than I am (I believe your prediction for the season was 12-4, compared with mine of 10-6…). Flozell wasn’t dominating, but the fact that we usually didn’t hear his name was a good sign.
