of his first three games (two rushing on kickoff return), Jones be-came the first rookie in Dallas Cowboys team history to accom-plish the feat and was the first rookie in NFL history to do sosince Andre Davis (Houston) and Donte’ Stallworth (New Or-leans) each had similar performances during the 2002 season.

The 2007 season was no exception asWitten established franchise tight end records for catches (96),receiving yards (1,145) and a career-high seven touchdowncatches. He became the first Dallas tight end and 13th tight endin league history to top 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

He already has four ofDallas’ top-five single-season reception totals and four of the top-six single-season receiving yards totals. He became only thesixth Dallas pass catcher - and only the second tight end - inteam history to reach 4,000 career receiving yards at Cleveland(9/7/08) and now has 4,524 yards in his career. He is also sevencatches shy of becoming the fifth pass catcher in club history tocatch at least 400 passes.

After a draft-day trade that sent 2006 second round selectionAnthony Fasano to Miami, the Dallas Cowboys showed their de-pendency on a quality tight end when they selected Martellus Bennett in the second round (61st overall) of the 2008 NFLDraft.

As one of the biggest and most powerful offensive lines in theleague in 2007, the Dallas Cowboys return all five starters fromlast year in left tackle Flozell Adams, left guard Kyle Kosier,center Andre Gurode, right guard Leonard Davis and righttackle Marc Colombo. Behind the O-Line’s work, the Dallas of-fense finished second in the NFC, third in the league, averaging365.7 yards-per-game. The club racked up 455 points, the sec-ond-most behind the 1983 squad’s 479. The Dallas line was alsowell represented in the Pro Bowl, sending Adams for his fourthappearance - second consecutive - Gurode for his second con-secutive and Davis for his first trip. The line lost some consis-tency to start the season after Kosier suffered a foot injury in theHouston game and was sidelined for the first two games. He re-turned for the game at Green Bay (9/21) and re-injured his foot.He is expected to miss several weeks due to the injury.

With Kosier sidelined with a foot injury suffered in the presea-son game against Houston, Cory Procter - who started twogames at center in place of Gurode (knee) last season - steppedin to start three of the last four games at left guard

He finished 2007 fourth in the league witha 47.1 gross and seventh with a 38.5 net average. Narrowlymissing a Pro Bowl selection in 2007, McBriar previouslyowned a streak of 295 consecutive punts without a block -second in team record books behind Danny White’s 341 be-fore his attempt in overtime at Arizona (10/12) was blocked,snapping the streak at 299. He suffered a foot injury on theblock and will miss the rest of the season after the teamplaced him on the Reserve/Injured list on Oct. 14. For his ca-reer, he averages a booming 44.9 gross average with 94dropped inside opponents’ 20-yard line.

@ Cleveland (9/7): McBriar punted twice for a 48.5 grossaverage and a 37.0 net average along with a long punt of 52yards to open the 2008 season. vs. Philadelphia (9/15):McBriar booted three punts for a 46.7 gross average and anet average of 42.7.

Dallas signed punter Sam Paulescu on Oct. 14, the sameday McBriar was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a bro-ken foot. Paulescu originally went to training camp with theCowboys during the 2007 season as an undrafted rookie free

KICKING GAMEagent out of Oregon State but was cut at the end of camp. Hespent most of the 2007 season out of football until the Den-ver Broncos signed him on Dec. 28. He punted in Denver’sseason finale against Minnesota (12/30), finishing with fivepunts for a 44.2 gross average.

Paulescu @ St. Louis (10/19): Paulescu made his Cow-boys debut to the tune of five punts for a gross average of42.0 and a net average of 32.0. He also had a long punt of 54yards, pinned the Rams inside their own 20-yard line onceand had two touchbacks.

The Cowboys may have found the permanent solution atplace kicker - a position that has given the club trouble re-cently. Nick Folk, one of Dallas’ sixth round choices in the2007 NFL Draft, will once again handle the place kicking du-ties after becoming the first Cowboys rookie to be selected tothe Pro Bowl since Emmitt Smith (1990), and the third-everDallas kicker (first rookie kicker) to make the all-star trip. Hefinished his rookie season fourth among kickers with 131points to establish a club rookie scoring record. He convertedall 53 PATs and was true on 26-of-31 field goals.

@ Cleveland (9/7): Folk began the season in perfect form,converting on all four PAT attempts. vs. Philadelphia (9/15):Folk had another successful appearance on Monday NightFootball, connecting on both his field goal attempts (51 and47) - the first two attempted by the kicker this season - and allfive of his PAT attempts. @ Green Bay (9/21): The Cowboyskicker was true on both of his field goal attempts (25, 39) andall three of his PATs. vs. Washington (9/28): Folk hit a 36-yard field goal and was successful on all three PAT tries. Hewas, however, unsuccessful in his first onside kick attempt ofthe season which would have given Dallas the ball back latein the fourth quarter. vs. Cincinnati (10/5): Folk hit on a 30-yard field goal and all four of his PAT attempts on the night.@ Arizona (10/12): Despite missing his first field goal at-tempt of the season - a 37 yarder - in the second quarter, Folkonce again proved his “clutch” status by hitting a season-long52-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the fourth quar-ter to send the game into overtime. The field goal was thesecond-longest of his career (53 - @ Buffalo, 10/8/07) andwas the third of 50-or-more yards he has converted in his twoNFL seasons. @ St. Louis (10/19): Folk missed his only fieldgoal attempt of the game - a 46-yarder - but did hit on both ofhis PAT attempts.

Deep snapper Louis-Philippe Ladouceur signed with Dal-las prior to their Week Four contest at Oakland in 2005 andhas been solid and mistake-free on 225 punts, 95 field goals and 146 PATs since joining the team.

With preseason injuries to Miles Austin (knee) and IsaiahStanback (shoulder) - both of whom were slotted as kickoff re-turners - the Dallas return game took on a new look with theCowboys turning to rookie Felix Jones to handle the return du-ties. Jones is back in familiar territory as he handled kickoff re-turns at Arkansas, leaving the collegiate ranks as the NCAA’sninth-ranked returner with a career average of 28.2 yards-per-return. Jenkins also excelled in his senior campaign as a kickreturn specialist, averaging 30.4 yards with his first return of theseason going for a 100-yard touchdown. Scandrick - anotherDallas rookie who was selected in the fifth round of the 2008NFL draft - will also be in the mix at kick returner after previouslyseeing time there during college. Stanback returned as the sec-ond kick return specialist in Week 2.

Through seven games, F. Jones is eighth in the league - thirdamong rookies - with a kickoff return average of 27.1 yards. His434 kickoff return yards is good for 18th in the league - fourthamong rookies. His progress will be slowed through the nextseveral weeks after suffering a hamstring injury at Arizona(10/12).

Jones turned heads in front of a nationally televised audience for Monday Night Football, returning sixkickoffs for 247 yards and one touchdown to set a club record forreturn yards in a single-game. His 41.2 average was good for thefourth-best in club record books. His 98-yard kickoff return in thefirst quarter was the first of his career and marked the first kick-off return for a touchdown by Dallas since Randal Williams re-turned one 38 yards for a score against Philadelphia (10/12/02).It also marked the the longest kickoff return by a Cowboy sinceReggie Swinton returned one 100 yards for a score at Philadel-phia (9/22/02). @ Green Bay (9/21): F. Jones returned twokickoffs for 49 yards (24.5 avg.) with a long return of 21 yards.vs. Washington (9/28): F. Jones was held to 54 yards on fourkickoffs with a long return of 22 yards. vs. Cincinnati (10/5):He returned two kickoffs for 42 yards with a long return of 23yards. @ Arizona (10/12): F. Jones returned only one kick for22 yards before injuring his hamstring. @ St. Louis (10/19):Was inactive due to injury (hamstring).

Austin vs. Cincinnati (10/5): Austin lined up as the sec-ondary kickoff returner for the first time of the season and hadone return for 25 yards. @ Arizona (10/12): Austin assumedfull kickoff return duties in the second half after Jones wasforced to leave with a hamstring injury. Austin returned threekickoffs for 82 yards (27.3 avg.) with a long return of 32 yards.

RETURN GAME@ St. Louis (10/19): Taking over the role as the full-time kickreturner with Jones out with a hamstring injury, Austin re-turned three kickoffs for 76 yards (25.3 avg.) with a long re-turn of 27 yards. His yardage amount allowed him to hit 1,548career kickoff return yards, becoming only the 12th player infranchise history to surpass 1,500 career kickoff return yardsand moved past Ron Fellows (1,478) for 12th on the club’sall-time kickoff return yards list.

Adam Jones was the team’s primary punt returner throughthe first six weeks of the season, but was suspended indefi-nitely by the league for violating the NFL’s personal conductpolicy. Crayton will take over the responsibility, after seeinga majority of the previous two seasons as the club’s punt re-turner.

Crayton @ St. Louis (10/19): Crayton made his first ap-pearance in 2008 as the team’s primary punt returner, takingtwo punts back for 41 yards (20.5 avg.), including a long re-turn of 33 yards - the longest by a Dallas punt returner thusfar this season.

A. Jones, an explosive punt returner while with the Ten-nessee Titans, has a career average of 10.8 yards-per-return. In the 2006 season, Jones averaged 12.9yards-per-return with three returns for a touchdown, includinga 90-yarder.
