IRVING, Texas - How's this for respect: The Dallas Cowboys not only tied a franchise record with 11 Pro Bowl selections, one of them is a backup.
And there's a chance they might have a 12th guy headed to Hawaii. Or more.
Terrell Owens, Tony Romo and backup running back Marion Barber are some of the Dallas players picked by fans and rivals as the best in the NFC. The Cowboys have seven starters, four reserves - and another four that coach Wade Phillips said are alternates. Among them is recently suspended Roy Williams, a Pro Bowler the last four years who could be invited to take the place of the late Sean Taylor, who is voted in as a starter.
The starters are Owens, Witten and three offensive linemen: left tackle Flozell Adams, centre Andre Gurode and right guard Leonard Davis. Linebacker DeMarcus Ware and rookie kicker Nick Folk also will start for the NFC.
The reserves are Romo (beaten out by Green Bay's Brett Favre), Barber, cornerback Terence Newman and safety Ken Hamlin.
In addition to Williams, other alternates include linebacker Greg Ellis, punter Mat McBriar and special teams ace Keith Davis.
