of-179 for his career - third in team history and just
one shy of Mike Clark (180) for second). Punter Chris
Jones played in all 16 games for the second time in
his career and had career-highs for gross (45.4) and
net (39.8) averages while dropping 21 inside the 20-
yard line. He also had a career-long 64-yard boot.
Dwayne Harris led all coverage men with 18 tackles
and long snapper Louis-Philippe Ladouceur, who was
perfect on every snap for the 10th straight season,
earned his first career trip to the Pro Bowl.
In 2013 O’Quinn was the club’s assistant wide
receivers coach, working with Derek Dooley in the
continued development of Dallas’ explosive offensive
threat Dez Bryant. Bryant finished the year with his
first trip to the Pro Bowl, topping 1,000 yards for the
second consecutive season, and his 13 touchdowns
were tops in his career and tied for third in team history.
Bryant also became the fourth Cowboy with
multiple and consecutive 10-touchdown seasons.
DeMarco Murray and Tyron Smith each joined
Bryant with their first trip to the Pro Bowl while Jason
Witten made his ninth. Smith’s work on the line helped
propel Murray to his first career 1,000-yard season and
the first by a Dallas Cowboy since Julius Jones in 2006.

director of pro personnel for the Cleveland Browns.

Offensive Line
Northern Arizona
NFL: 9th Year • Cowboys: 3rd Year
The Dallas Cowboys promoted Frank Pollack to
offensive line coach for the 2015 season following
the departure of Bill Callahan and on the wave of a
tremendously successful 2014 season.
With a renewed focus on ground-and-pound football,
the Dallas Cowboys ran through their opposition
in 2014, compiling 2,354 yards on the ground, the
ninth-highest total in team history, and a 12-4 record,
advancing to the Divisional Round of the playoffs for
the first time since 2009. A heavy investment in
building the line through the draft, with three first
round picks used on linemen in the past four drafts,
allowed Dallas to have its most potent and balanced
offensive attack since the 1990s.
Running back DeMarco Murray rushed for a franchise-record
and NFL-leading 1,845 yards on his way
to AP Offensive Player of the Year honors, while quarterback
Tony Romo had the time in the pocket to
throw for 34 touchdowns and complete a careerbest
69.9 percent of his passes, in large part due to
a stout offensive front. The team also led the league
with a 32:36 time of possession figure.
Tyron Smith cemented his place as one of the
NFL’s stalwarts at left tackle, protecting Romo’s
blindside and earning his second consecutive Pro
Bowl nod and a first-team All-Pro selection. Smith
also earned NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors
for October, becoming only the second offensive
lineman (Brian Waters in 2004) in the awards’ history
to be honored.
Center Travis Frederick grew immensely under
Pollack’s watchful eye in his second season, guiding
the line’s protection schemes and anchoring the
league’s best run blocking unit, earning himself the
first Pro Bowl nod of his young career. The final piece
of the puzzle came in the form of first round rookie
Zack Martin, who made the switch from tackle in college
to a day-one starter at guard for the Cowboys, a
transition aided in large part to the tutoring of Pollack.
Martin brought a tenacity and toughness to the line,
and earned first-team All-Pro recognition while earning
a Pro Bowl selection for his impact on the field. Martin
became the first rookie lineman in Cowboys history to
make a Pro Bowl. With third-year guard Ron Leary and
