Tougher for Cowboys to replace Randy Gregory than Dez Bryant?

by Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer

This is not meant as a slight to Bryant by any means. He is one of the two or three best receivers in the NFL. He is one of the biggest reasons why the Cowboys’ offense can be great. In his absence I still believe the offense can be good. But I wonder if the Cowboys will have a more difficult time replacing Randy Gregory than replacing Bryant. Again, I’m not saying Gregory is a better player than Bryant. He’s not. It’s not even close. But in terms of the roster, the Cowboys do not have another pass-rusher like Gregory. They don’t have another receiver like Bryant either, but they have Tony Romo, who can make the passing game work. Without Gregory — and Greg Hardy — the pass rush will look a lot like it did last season. We haven’t seen enough work from players like DeMarcus Lawrence, Ryan Russell or Jack Crawford to suggest the Cowboys can get to the quarterback. Gregory is only a rookie, but the Cowboys were looking at him like a major player.

Gadzooks— I tend to agree... with Todd

May be tougher to replace not having Eli Manning across the line from you in the 4th quarter than Dez Bryant.

Actually ESPN is bragging the story that Raiders and Chargers may move to LA next year
