Question: Could we be seeing the first signs of Jerry's reign of terror over the Cowboys organization coming to an end? Is Stephen having some influence over his dad?

Kevin Sherrington: Let's not jump to any conclusions, Joe. We've had 25 years of Jerry acting one way. Let's see a little more than a few months. But, yes, there have been some good signs the last few weeks. Now let's see what they do in the draft.

Question: Would Tom Landry have been successful in todays game?

Kevin Sherrington: Tom was ahead of his time when he coached, so I'm assuming he would have at least been on a par with everyone else now. He probably micromanaged a little bit, which was easier to do back then. He'd have to delegate more responsibility. But everything that made him a HOF coach then would make him a HOF coach now.

Question: Kevin, Do you think it would be wise to continue to build this team on both lines ? I believe that you can always find DB's/WR's later in the draft, because if you give your QB time to throw and place pressure on the opposing QB, you can get away with having lesser talanted personel at those 2 areas of your team. But the OL/DL is not a place to be cheap!

Kevin Sherrington: I agree absolutely. They may be tempted to take Clinton-Dix if he's available in the first round at safety, and I wouldn't have much of a problem with that. But the last free agency period showed what teams think of WR and RB. None got great deals. With few exceptions, I don't know why you'd give a RB or WR a second contract if it's a major one. You should be able to find those positions in the draft every year. Quality OL and DL are very difficult to find.

Question: Let's say both Dez Bryant and Suh from Detroit are asking for the same amount of $$$$ in free agency. Who should the Cowboys sign and why? I'd take's easier to find quality WR.

Kevin Sherrington: For the reasons I just cited, I think I'd do the same if Suh is as productive as he has been.
