OXNARD, Calif. -- So many of the faces have changed over the last few years with the Dallas Cowboys that Tony Romo wonders who's staring back at him inside the huddle.

Along the offensive line, no starter from 2010 remains in the same position. Left tackle Tyron Smith was a freshman in high school when Tony Romo was a rookie with the Cowboys and a senior by the time Romo became the starting quarterback.

Miles Austin is the only wide receiver left from the 2009 season. The starting running back is different, too. The constant has been at tight end in seven-time Pro Bowler Jason Witten.

Just like that, Romo has become the Cowboys' sage.
