More awards

I gave out my season awards to the Cowboys already, but the players have recently been winning some real awards of their own.

Dez Bryant - Pro Football Weekly's Most Improved Player

Dez is a clear choice for the award he earned. Through out his first two seasons injuries hit him along with dropped balls that took away what could have been amazing seasons. This year Dez showed us why the Cowboys used a first round draft pick on him. Bryant went from 63 catches last year to 92 this year. He went from 928 yards to 1,382. He went from 9 touchdowns to 12. Dez Bryant exploded in the second half of the season and the Cowboys know that they have an amazing talent with plenty of years left on him.

Jason Witten - The Associated Press All Pro Second Team - Bart Starr Award

Jason Witten was really questioned at the beginning of the season with a spleen injury he got in the pre season. But after a few games Witten got back to his former self, a beast. He proved to be Tony Romo's go to guy once again, breaking the record for most amount of receptions in a single season by a tight end. The only reason why he fell 5 votes short of Gonzalez is because he did not have very many touchdowns this year. But he is still a great player, leader, and helps out in his community which is why he got these 2 very amazing awards.
Demarcus Ware - The Associated Press All Pro Second Team

Despite Ware not getting as much sacks as everybody is use two he is still a monster on the field. Offenses need to plan around him and Ware still gets to the quarter back. Ware had yet another double digit sack season and did something that most players on the front 7 for the defense couldn't, he stayed healthy. With his whole team falling to the injured reserve list one by one, Ware stepped up, made plays, and was a leader for all of the young back ups. Which is exactly why Ware gets this award.

Congrats guys!
