The Dallas Morning News Cowboys writer Gerry Fraley chatted with fans and answered questions on Monday. He discussed various topics such as the Cowboys kicking situation and Tony Romo's future with the team.
Here are some highlights:
On if the Cowboys will keep David Buehler next season:
Fraley: Yes, but he'll have competition next summer in camp. Buehler has ability. He must learn to slow down. He gets in trouble on kicks by hurrying. that's born of being emotional.
On why Marion Barber reacted the way he did after his touchdown last Saturday:
Fraley: He's a selfish player who delights in drawing attention to himself. Marion Barber should be the first player out of the room after this season. ... He carries himself in a very unprofessional manner. I've been around athletes who refuse to talk to the media, such as Steve Carlton. He respected my right to do a job, and I respected his request for privacy. He was a gentleman. I respect Barber's refusal to talk to the media, but he shows no respect for us. He tries to be disruptive when other players meet their professional obligations.
On if Tony Romo still has a future with the Cowboys:
Fraley: Yes, very much so. Tony Romo is a quality quarterback. My guess is he learned much from sitting back and watching how Jon Kitna handles an offense and a locker room. If Romo can pick up on Kitna's leadership skills, he'll be the better for it.
On if Sean Lee takes over a starting linebacker spot next year:
Fraley: Not sure. Lots to like about Sean Lee, but he got run over at the point of attack again on Saturday night. He needs an off-season in Joe Juraszek's strength-and-conditioning program.
