88, 88, 88With the selection of Dez Bryant in the first round of the 2010 NFL

Draft, the Dallas Cowboys added to their lineage of home-growntalent at wide receiver. Bryant was issued the jersey number 88 tofollow in the footsteps of two of the previous 88s in club history -Drew Pearson (1973-83) and Michael Irvin (1988-99).

his progress as a rookie was slowed after landing on IR with anankle injury suffered at Indianapolis (12/5/10). he returned to open the2011 season in style, and finished his second pro season with 63catches for 928 yards and nine touchdowns. Bryant opened 2012 withfour catches for 85 yards at the N.y. Giants (9/5) then notched his sec-ond career 100-yard game with a career-high 105 yards againstChicago (10/1). At Baltimore (10/14) Bryant had a career-best 13receptions which also tied the third-most receptions in a game in fran-chise history. Bryant bettered his career-best with a 110-yard perfor-mance against the N.y. Giants (10/28). he then added 12 catches fora new career-best 145 yards against Cleveland (11/18) and tied thatsame yardage total on eight catches against Washington (11/22).Below is a comparison between the Cowboys 88s after 38 games:

WHAT A RUSH AGAIN

The Dallas Cowboys 38-23 win at Philadelphia (11/11) wasaided by Dallas’ defensive and special teams units. With a 17-17tie at the beginning of the final quarter, Dwayne harris returned apunt 78 yards for a touchdown, his first career score of any kind,and a 24-17 Dallas lead. Just 1:10 later, Brandon Carr intercept-ed his first pass as a Cowboy and returned it 47 yards for a touch-down - his first career interception return for a score. Finally, with1:55 left, and the Eagles trailing 23-31, Anthony Spencer andDeMarcus Ware split a sack in which Spencer knocked the ballloose in the end zone. Jason hatcher pounced on the ball for thetouchdown and his second career touchdown.

Dallas’ above mentioned scoring barrage of touchdowns via apunt return, interception return and fumble return marked the firsttime a Cowboys team accomplished the feat, and the fifth time inNFL history any team did it. The Buffalo Bills did it against Denver(12/24/11), but also added a second interception return for a score.The Cowboys are the first team to do it in the same quarter sincethe 1966 San Francisco 49ers did it against Chicago (11/12).

BAILEY’S BOOTS

O.T. AGAINThe Dallas Cowboys played in their first overtime game of the

2012 season against Cleveland (11/18) after battling throughthree overtime games in 2011. As Dan Bailey hit the 38-yard gamewinner with 6:07 remaining in the extra frame, the Cowboys uppedtheir overtime record to 18-13, including a 4-5 mark at home. TheCleveland game was the first overtime game in Cowboys Stadiumhistory and the first at home for Dallas since a 24-21 loss toDenver at Texas Stadium.

Dallas won two overtime wins in 2011 - the first time in club his-tory the team won multiple overtime games- and, coupled withwins in the previous two (2009 and 2010), the Cowboys won fourstraight overtime games for the first time in team history.

In each of the Cowboys four-straight overtime wins, Dallas lost thetoss to begin overtime. The club’s overtime record when losing thetoss had improved to 8-6 with the two wins, but that streak wassnapped with the loss at Arizona to give Dallas a 8-7 record when los-ing the toss. Below is a brief look at each of Dallas’ overtime games:Opp. Date Score W/L Opp. Date Score W/L

* indicates Dallas won toss to start overtime

GAME-WINNING KICKSIn his rookie season, Dan Bailey was called upon six different

times to win or tie the game with his foot. Four times he camethrough for Dallas. Bailey’s four game-winning field goals were themost by a Dallas Cowboy in a single season and the most by arookie in NFL history. Several rookie kickers had three game-win-ners, and the last was Wade Richey (San Francisco) in 1998.

WARE FORCEWhen DeMarcus Ware missed the first start of his career at

New orleans (12/19/09) after suffering a neck injury the previousweek, he saw time as a reserve in the Saturday night win over thepreviously undefeated Saints. Credited with sealing the game forDallas with his second sack/fumble of the contest, Ware emergedas the Dallas Cowboys forced fumble leader (since 1994) with 23for his career. he snapped a tie with Greg Ellis that night.

Since then, Ware has forced eight more fumbles. For hiscareer, Ware has 31 forced fumbles with 26 of them coming offquarterback sacks.

Thus far in 2012, Ware has four forced fumbles to make sixseasons with three-or-more forced fumbles for the linebacker. hissix seasons of three-plus forced fumbles is tied for 13th in NFLhistory, ranks as the fifth-highest figure in league history and istops in franchise history.

A staple in the Cowboysoffense virtually since the day hewas drafted, Jason Witten againleads the charge at tight end. Withhis selection to his seventh consec-utive and overall Pro Bowl in 2010,Witten has made more appear-ances than any other tight end inclub history. In nine-plus pro sea-sons, Witten has emerged as oneof the most prolific tight ends inleague history and one of the topreceivers in franchise history. hehas strung together nine consecu-

tive seasons with at least 50 (one-of-two tight ends to accomplish thefeat) and eight of 60 catches (one-of-two to do it). he has topped 80catches in a season five times, and in four straight, and has tallied atleast 90 catches in a season three times - the second-most by a tightend in league history. he finished 2010 with a team-best 94 catches- tops among league tight ends - and his third career 1,000-yardseason (1,002) to become the fourth tight end with at least three1,000-yard seasons. For his career, he has 778 catches for 8,619yards and owns the top spot on the club’s all-time receptions chartand is second all-time receiving yards chart. he took the top spotfrom Michael Irvin following a seven-catch performance at Atlanta(11/4) this season. his 42 career touchdown catches are sixth. hehas the top-five single-season receiving yards totals by a tight endin club history and seven of the top-10 and is only the fifth Dallaspass catcher to reach 6,000 career receiving yards. he also joinedMichael Irvin in 2010 as the only Dallas pass catchers with 600career receptions. A model of durability, Witten has played in 154of a possible 155 games, missing just one with a broken jaw in2003. For the fifth straight season, and sixth overall, Witten led theclub in receptions with his 79 catches in 2011. he paced the clubwith 942 yards - his fifth straight, sixth overall, season with at least900 yards and was fourth with five touchdown catches.

The 2012 season has seen Witten take over the club’s all-timereceptions lead, passing Michael Irvin (750) in the game at Atlanta(11/4). he also topped 8,000 career yards with 112 against Chicago(10/1).

Thus far in 2012 Witten has a team-best 82 catches for 710yards (third on the team) and one touchdown.

The front line of the Dallas offense will again go throughchanges from the previous season as it welcomes starters at four ofthe five slots. The two bookends, Doug Free and 2011 first roundpick Tyron Smith, will swap sides as Smith will man the blind sideand Free will handle the right tackle spot, a position he filled in andplayed well for Marc Colombo (leg) for seven starts in 2009.

Both guard spots will be filled by Dallas newcomers MackenzyBernadeau (bur-NAR-doe) at right guard and Nate Livings at left.Both were acquired during the 2012 free agency period withBernadeau playing in Carolina since becoming the Panthers sev-enth round draft pick in 2008 and Livings coming from Cincinnati,where he landed as a rookie free agent following the 2006 NFLDraft.

Phil Costa, who made the 2010 squad as an undrafted rook-ie reserve, improved his play through the preseason enough to benamed the starter at center going into the 2011 season. Costa wenton to start all 16 games at center in 2011 and will again anchor themiddle of the line for Dallas.

In reserve roles lie tackle Jermey Parnell, who came to Dallasas a lineman in 2010, 2011 fourth round selection David Arkin,who was originally slated to play guard but due to injuries along theline through the 2012 preseason played center and 10-year veter-an Derrick Dockery, who is going into his second year with Dallas. Sidelined with a foot injury for the first six weeks of the season is2011 undrafted rookie free agent guard/center Kevin Kowalski.Dallas also traded a 2013 draft choice to Miami for center RyanCook, who is a seven-year veteran that has started 40-of-77career games for Miami and Minnesota and has seen time at righttackle and right guard in addition to center.

Arguably one of the biggestpass rushing threats in the NFL,DeMarcus Ware earned hissixth consecutive Pro Bowl nodin 2011 after another solid sea-son that saw him lead the teamand finish second in the leaguewith 19.5 sacks. his 2011 per-formance came on the heels ofa 2010 season that saw himlead the league in sacks for thesecond time in his career with15.0. Since becoming Dallas’first first round draft pick in2005, Ware has led or tied forthe team lead in sacks eachseason and is the only defendercurrently in the league and thefifth all-time to string togethersix consecutive double-digitsack seasons. he established aclub record in 2008 after finish-ing with 20.0 sacks to tie DerrickThomas for the sixth-mostsacks in a season in league his-tory. That season also sawWare become the first Dallasdefender to lead or tie for theteam lead in sacks in each ofhis first four seasons with theteam. he also became thefourth Cowboys defender - sec-ond since 1982 when sacksbecame official - to register

three consecutive 10-plus sack sea-sons. With 20.0 sacks in 2008, 15.5 in2010 and 19.5 last season, Ware isthe sixth defender in league historywith three seasons of at least 15.0sacks. In Week 1 of 2012, Warebecame the 28th league defender toreach 100 sacks for his career. Amonghis 109.0 career sacks was a streak of10 consecutive games with a sack -spanning the final three games of 2007and the first seven of 2008 - and 10

games with multiple sacks. Not only a pass rushing threat, Ware canplay the run and cover receivers as he logged a career-high 110tackles in 2008 and topped the 100-tackle plateau once again in2010 with 108. A model of dependability, Ware has played in all 123regular season games and the four playoff games through hiscareer. he’s started 122 regular season contests, missing the onlystart of his career at New orleans (12/19/09) as a precaution due toa neck injury he suffered in the game before (vs. San Diego,12/13/09) though he did play in the game. he earned his sixth con-secutive Pro Bowl nod after finishing the 2011 season sixth on theteam with 67 tackles and tops on the team with 19.5 sacks and 40hurries.

his 10.0 sacks thus far in 2012 are fourth in the NFL, and his59 tackles are fourth on the team.

Dallas used its second round draft pick in 2010 to select PennState’s Sean Lee to work behind Keith Brooking. Lee was slowedearly in his rookie season, but came on late to demonstrate his abil-ity at the middle linebacker position, finishing his initial campaign11th on the squad with 45 tackles. he earned his first career startin the 2011 season opener and started all 15 games he played. Notonly did Lee takeover as a starting middle linebacker and theteam’s quarterback of the defense, but he went on to lead the teamin tackles (131) and tie Terence Newman for the team high withfour interceptions.

Carr was tabbed in free agency as the cornerback that Dallaswanted and needed. he comes to Dallas after playing his first fourpro seasons with Kansas City.
