Injury Problems

The Cowboys have been full of injuries the entire year, as soon as somebody got healthy, another person went to the injured list. And they have been happening at the worst times. The run game and offensive line has been hit bad this year, along with the front 7 on the defense. Here is why these injuries have been hurting the teams chances so much.

Run game
This is probably one of the weakest links right now. Without Murray the run game has only gotten worse. Yes Jones has caught some touchdown passes to help win games, but the Cowboys still need a run game. Romo is a quarterback that can be great but can also make poor decisions. If the Cowboys can't rely on their run game then it will force Romo to throw more and make bad choices with the ball. This is only Murrays second year, and just like the year before, he was getting good and then got injured. If Murray is injury prone the Cowboys need to start thinking about picking up a better back up who can step and gain yards.

Offensive line
The offensive line injuries has taken its biggest hit in the center position. So much that right guards have had to move over and take over as center because even the back up has gotten hurt. And right now the Cowboys need a good offensive line. If Romo has to always scramble, he will keep making poor choices. The Cowboys really need to draft big to try and get something solid for Romo.

Defense
This year everyone is talking about how good Claiborne and Carr have been for this defense. But the Cowboys are still struggling a bit stopping the run. In the beginning of the season both Ratlif and Spencer were out, both key players that are dominant and could stop the run. Luckily Lee, Carter, and Ware were looking very good on the field. But then the injuries started happening. Lee got hurt and is out and now Carter needs surgery. And even Ratif after coming back is now hurt again. This is just too much, if all of those players were in the Cowboys would be very dominant. I don't know what's happen but the Cowboys need to stay healthy in order to get some wins.
