Cowboys beat writer David Moore answered your questions in a chat Friday. Here are some highlights.
Guest asks ... Why so much negativity toward Newman this year. He played hurt and was the best defender in the secondary?
DAVID MOORE: Agreed. I thought he was having an outstanding season until he hurt his ribs. While that compromised his performance the rest of the way, I still thought he was competitive.
Anthony Spencer asks ... Are you ready to give up on me? There are a lot of 3-4 OLBs available in the draft.
DAVID MOORE: Well, Anthony, I know a lot of people on the outside take this view, but I can tell you your coaches don't. They all like what you do on the field, especially in the run. You're disciplined and where you need to be on almost every play even though you don't get as many sacks as you, or they, want.
G-Money asks ... Do you think JJ made a mistake by not interviewing other candidates besides Sherman and Bowles? And do you think Garrett made a mistake by not interviewing with other teams besides Dallas?
DAVID MOORE: I think this job was open for more than eight weeks. If one of the big names had an interest, Jones would have listened and could have had his head turned. I think Garrett has been the highest paid offensive coordinator in the league for the past four seasons. I think Jones identified him as the head coach in waiting four years ago. He has interviewed for three head coaching jobs in the past. I don't think he made a mistake by not interviewing for a job this time. I think he was smart.
