***Official DALLAS COWBOYS 2009 Season Thread***

[manufan10]

Wade is past his expiration date, but IMO Romo doesn't show the kind of leadership (or heady play) expected from an elite NFL quarterback. He gets down too easily, if you looked at his demeanor on the sidelines last night he looked like a kid who just had his puppy stolen.

Did you see him when he was out on the sidelines trying to encourage the defense? He wasn't there sulking until he was certain that the Cowboys had lost. Why? He knew it was partly his fault. He took the blame for that loss. We don't really know what his leadership skills are like, although those who know the situation say he's a vocal leader more this year. This is just one bad game this year. I agree that he needs to cut some of the turnovers, but I like the way Romo plays.

[BacktoBasics]

You can't win with 4 turnovers. With that said the defense looked awful. Slightly better against the run but downright awful everywhere else. Its certainly not man coverage. Its not zone either. Its as if they're playing manzone where a corner lines up and just tries to hang around 7 or 8 yards of the receiver without getting too close...wait for the catch and then make the tackle. You can't win playing defense that way.

Its obvious what a good defense can do for your team. They could have overcome 4 turnovers had they had better coverage and tackling.

I agree.

[LOL texans]

I've never seen anything like that INT off of Wittens foot. Holy shit that was weird.
Can't turn the ball over against a disciplined team like the Giants, that being said the Cowboys really dominated at times, particularly with their O-Line and the run game. I got just what I needed in FF from Barber so I was happy.

but........lol Cowboys

[kamikazi_player]

I do blame this game on Tony Romo, he had 3 picks that had no chance for his Wide receivers to get it.

[mardigan]

Oh yea, we got our asses kicked, but McNabb or Garcia starts next week, no worries. :lol

Eagles' Kolb to take first-team snaps

PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb told ESPN on Monday that he is still in pain and was not sure whether he will be back for the Eagles game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

"There is still pain," said McNabb told Paolantonio in a brief interview as he arrived for treatment Monday at the team's practice facility in South Philadelphia.

"With these rib injuries, I don't know. It's Monday. We'll see how it goes."

Eagles head coach Andy Reid said Monday that backup quarterback Kevin Kolb will take all the first-team quarterback snaps in practice on Wednesday. Kolb, who had 391 yards passing with two touchdowns and three interceptions in the loss to the Saints, will start if McNabb cannot play.

[Whisky Dog]

I don't think Romo is the problem as some people think. He is just an easy scapegoat because of some of the misfortunes in his time here, such as the dropped snap, or the loss to the Giants in the playoffs (in which Crayton screwed that game up a LOT more than Romo did).

I felt that in last nights game, the only INT that was really his fault was the third one. The first one was clearly a pass to an initially wide open Crayton, not a bad pass to Roy as some people thought, because Roy seemed so wide open. Roy's defender slipped when Roy had made his cut, which had him also luckily in position to make the interception. The second one was a bad pass, but it was fluke that it bounced off of Witten's shoe right to the defender.

I still think poor playcalling and poor defense are the Cowboy's biggest weaknesses.

Good points but I disagree about the interceptions. All three were his fault - the 1st one was both a bad throw and bad decision, second one just a horrible throw, and third both again. All QBs are going to miss throws at times but the SB winning QBs miss away from the defender and rarely make horrible decisions on throws. Manning missed and made bad throws last night but he missed low and away which doesn't usually result in interceptions. Romo missed high and late which is asking for interceptions.

Garrett f'd up the dominating flow of the running game and Wade's defense is still soft in coverage and not getting pressure. Those are bigger problems than Romo, and the biggest is having Wade as coach. I think Cowher could at least get to an NFC title game with this talent if given the reins over coaching and a nod in drafting/personnel decisions

[BacktoBasics]

In defense of the playcalling at least they're utilizing the run in an effective manor. This in of itself should save their season if the defense can keep them from falling behind in the score by the end of the first. I dread seeing them fall behind because the ginger gets carried away and abandons the run.

Their defense is in need of serious help. Barely a playoff caliber defense.

[stretch]

All three were his fault - the 1st one was both a bad throw and bad decision

I disagree completely. If anyone goes back and watches, they can clearly see that it was for Crayton who would have been wide open, had the CB on Roy not slipped and luckily been in position for the pick. That was just a matter of being fortunate that his screw-up resulted in him being in the right place at the right time.

[Whisky Dog]

Right now it's nowhere near playoff caliber. A big part of the problem is the drafting that has gone on - Wade and Jerry are horrible in drafting talent, especially in the 1st round. Jenkins and Spencer being consecutive season 1st rounders is killing them. They have no depth and are weak at corner, defensive end, and LB opposite Ware

Man, I thought the secondary would be a strength this year, adding Sensabough and the progression of the young guys, but they looked horrible last night. I will say that there is only so much they can do without the Boys getting any pressure on Manning. Who would have thought the Boys entire pass rush hinged on Greg Ellis.

[stretch]

Who would have thought the Boys entire pass rush hinged on Greg Ellis.

Who has already had 3 sacks, a forced fumble, and other big plays in Oakland :smokin

That was just a matter of being fortunate that his screw-up resulted in him being in the right place at the right time.

If that was the case then it's a route running/play execution issue because two receivers should never be in the same proximity where that could happen. Also, if the throw had gotten to crayton it would have been behind him at least a bit which is a bad throw because you have to throw that ball outside away from the defender. Still a bad throw IMO

[stretch]

rofl

the romo hate from cowboy fans is just hilarious

[dirk4mvp]

He's cost them enough wins that it's deserved.

[monosylab1k]

Not sure how an INT that bounced off Witten's foot right into a defender's hands is really Romo's fault. Maybe the pass was off, but that pick was pure fluke.

Their offense is still way better now that the black cloud known as TO is gone.

Tony Dorsett weighs in:

http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/nfl/2009/09/cowboys-great-puzzled-by-romos.html



Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett says Tony Romo "hasn't done much" as an NFL quarterback, an opinion many fans no doubt share after watching the New York Giants turn three Romo interceptions into 21 points Sunday night.

"I don't know why on God's earth Tony Romo has been anointed a superstar in the National Football League," Dorsett told Fox Sports Radio on Tuesday. "Tony is very young in his career. Not to say you can't be young in your career and be a superstar because you've got one up there in Minnesota in Adrian Peterson. But the thing is this: you have a guy who hasn't done much and quarterbacks in the National Football League, most of them go through this growing curve. He hasn't gone through that growing curve, but he was anointed this great player all of a sudden. Now he's having to live up to that. And obviously Tony has some deficiencies.

"But, he's a good player who's still learning how to play in the National Football League and I think the media has given him too much credit for doing nothing. He hasn't done anything really in the National Football League to deserve all the recognition and visibility that he's gotten so far."

Dorsett's career rushing record with the Cowboys was topped by Emmitt Smith.

Fucking Wade Phillips is a joke. Horrible HC. He likes to have his D in a soft zone and let the opposing QB make mistakes. Problem is, when you face a good QB like Manning, he's not going to make those mistakes lets say a Byron Leftwitch will make. Fucking stupid splitting his time as HC and DC.

Oh, and Cowboy fans are highly criticle of their team. If you visit any Cowboy board you will see more Romo hate threads than anything you will find here. But I'll still take Romo over ALOT of other QBs in the league. But that is not to say I wont bash him when he plays stupidly like he did on Sunday.

Nate Newton was reporting Barber was at practice in full pads saying he feels good and should feel good for Monday.

[manufan10]

While it’s been reported Marion Barber would miss Monday’s game against Carolina with a strained quad, the running back isn’t ready to put him on the shelf just yet, at least he’s not saying it.
In a rare interview with reporters, Barber was short with his answers, but said he was feeling good and is hoping to play against the Panthers.
“I’m good . . . I’m good today,” Barber said during Wednesday’s open locker room period. “If I’m good today, I’ll be good tomorrow and I’ll be good for Monday.”
Of course, running backs coach Skip Peete was more hesitant.
“Right now, I have no idea,” Peete said. “He said he feels good. There’s a lot of days when I don’t feel great but I tell everyone I feel good. We’ll see what happens and see what he can do. If he’s capable of doing some things, we’ll see.”
The Cowboys will practice this afternoon at Valley Ranch. It’s likely that Barber will be held out of action. Remember, the Cowboys do have an extra day to prepare with the Monday night game.

[jack sommerset]

So the record sell out on Sunday night really was not a record. They counted the thousands that were standing outside watching the game on TV. :lol

[manufan10]

IRVING, Texas - The Cowboys resumed practice on Wednesday, with an extra day to prepare for the Carolina Panthers on Monday.
And despite suffering a quad injury that had some media reports suggesting he would miss Monday's game, Marion Barber was out at practice, at least for the first few minutes open to the media.
Because of the extra day of workouts, the Cowboys are not required to give an official injury report, so it's unclear just how much Barber practiced with the team. But he did participate in a few passing drills and appeared to be running without much problem.
Barber on the practice field wasn't the only surprise of the day. The running back also chatted for a couple of minutes with reporters, a rarity for Barber, who said he was feeling good and is hoping to play against the Panthers.
"I'm good . . . I'm good today," Barber said during Wednesday's open locker room period. "If I'm good today, I'll be good tomorrow and I'll be good for Monday."
Barber, who not only scored the first touchdown of the new Cowboys Stadium but also rushed for a 124 yards, suffered the injury at the end of a 35-yard run late in the fourth quarter. He immediately came up holding the quad and said Wednesday it was a feeling he's had before.
"Just like a bad cramp," Barber said. "I've felt it before. It's happened to me before. It's sore. It felt real similar. But I'm treating it like I should. I'm feeling good."
Of course, running backs coach Skip Peete was more hesitant.
"Right now, I have no idea," Peete said. "He said he feels good. There're a lot of days when I don't feel great but I tell everyone I feel good. We'll see what happens and see what he can do. If he's capable of doing some things, we'll see."
Last year Barber suffered calf and toe injuries that caused him to miss one game in Pittsburgh, and he was limited in the last three games to just 13 total carries. So it will be interesting to see how the Cowboys treat Barber, especially so early in the season. And with both Felix Jones and Tashard Choice available to play, it could make sense for the Cowboys to hold Barber out for this game.
Either way, Peete said he expects his two second-year backs to have an extended role.
"They're going to have to step up this week," Peete said of Choice and Jones. "I really don't know (Barber's) situation. But this is why we practice. We're going to get those two guys ready to play."
The Cowboys also added second-year tailback Chauncey Washington to the practice squad, but it's unlikely they will move him up to the 53-man roster this week.

[manufan10]

Once again, RB Marion Barber (quad) is dressed out and taking part in individual drills here at Valley Ranch.

The media only sees a brief portion of practice and some stretching each day, and Wade Phillips didn't exactly provide a clear picture of Barber's participation on Wednesday.

The Cowboys are obligated to release an injury report on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The starting back says he expects to play against Carolina, but my guess is he'll be listed as questionable on Saturday's final report. We'll see.

http://www.truebluefanclub.com/blogs/rob_phillips.cfm?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&userid=e062d34a-fb8f-4a56-ba5a-fb802447d7f5&plckPostId=Blog%3ae062d34a-fb8f-4a56-ba5a-fb802447d7f5Post%3a42f26894-815e-41a4-bf2e-5a33c16d204a&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest

I wouldn't mind letting him sit out one game. Choice and Jones can get the job done on Monday, that way the Cowboys don't risk losing Barber for longer. Unless the injury really is nothing, then I'd be ok with Barber playing.

The Panthers are worst in the NFL in giveaways, with 9. Even with every other team having played an extra game, there is no team that has more than the Panthers' 9 giveaways. The Cowboys are the only team in the NFL without a single takeaway.

So is Barber going to start?



From the sound of things, it doesn’t appear that Marion Barber will suit up and play Monday night against the Panthers.
Do we know that as a fact? Not yet. Could it change? Of course. But there are a handful of reasons that suggest Barber won’t play tonight.
For starters, he had limited participation in all three days of practice this week. Then, head coach Wade Phillips said Saturday that if he wasn’t close to 100 percent, then he didn’t the point in running him out there.
One Cowboys official in the hallway just now said he thought there was a 98 percent chance that Barber misses tonight’s game, for the simple reason that he’s not fully healthy and it’s the third game of the season.
We saw last year what a limited Barber could do – 15 yards on 13 carries – although it was a dislocated toe, a much different injury than a quad strain.
Still, this is why you draft two running backs last year. Felix Jones and Tashard Choice will have to carry the load tonight.
Then it again, that could change if Barber decides to don his Superman cape. But don’t hold your breath.

Hopefully that will be in the Cowboys favor.

yep, it was. And I was spot on! :D

[manufan10]

Felix Jones almost certainly would have notched the first 100-yard rushing game of his career if not for the strained knee he suffered in the third quarter.

Jones (eight carries, 94 yards) limped off the field following a 40-yard run that led to a Cowboys field goal. He put on a new knee brace and returned for two plays on the next series, then spent the rest of the game walking the sidelines.

Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said Jones would be re-evaluated on Tuesday. Tashard Choice (18 carries, 82 yards, TD) finished the game as the primary running back.

Jones and Choice filled in for starter Marion Barber, who was deactivated because of a strained quad. Phillips said Barber was "close" to playing, but the team made a medical decision to rest him this week.

The Cowboys return to practice Wednesday.

Jones' knee injury concerns Jerry Jones

In the wake of the Dallas Cowboys' come-from-behind victory over Carolina, Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he is concerned about the severity of running back Felix Jones' knee injury.

The Cowboys owner said Jones was unable to loosen his left knee after suffering what the team has initially diagnosed as a knee strain that would be re-evaluated, indicating the likelihood the second-year pro will have an MRI.

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=4514993

[O-Factor]

Great to get the win and all, but questions remain.

Anthony Spencer was again invisible. He wasn't horrible like Bobby Carpenter, but he's just invisible. He's pretty good against the run though. But you have to like what you saw out of rookie OLB Victor Butler. 2 sacks and a forced fumble. Tackling is also a concern amongst the secondary. Ive heard Wade doesn't put the team through many practices with tackling drills so the only practice they get at it is in the games. However the team is pretty good against the run. After the Tampa game they really buckled down, shut down Brandon Jacobs, and did a great job on D. Williams.

But the biggest questions are no doubt the coaching. Horrible calls by Garrett calling 2 consecutive pass plays(same type of play) from the 1 freaking yard line when we were running all over them. Had to settle for a field goal. And I don't trust Wades type of D at all. All we do is play zone. Look what happens when we play man coverage...Neman picks off Jake. We need to play more man and press, otherwise when we don't get pressure on the QB, the WR are just going to find the soft spots int he zone, much like Eli did last week to us.

Oh well...on to Denver.

The Cowboys owner said Jones was unable to loosen his left knee after suffering what the team has initially diagnosed as a knee strain that would be re-evaluated, indicating the likelihood the second-year pro will have an MRI.

Felix needs to get healthy AND learn how to pick up a blitz.

He's electric out there.

Sources: Jones Out for Next Game:


IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=dal) running back Felix Jones (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11256) will miss Sunday's game at Denver with a sprained left knee, according to two sources.
NFC East blog



Jones injured his knee at the end of a 40-yard run in the third quarter of Monday night's victory over Carolina. He had an MRI on Tuesday, which revealed the sprain. Doctors didn't discuss the possibility of surgery.
After this week, Jones will be reevaluated to see if he can play the following week at Kansas City. Cowboys officials believe Jones could be fully recovered after the bye week on Oct. 18.
As of now, Tashard Choice (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11359) is the Cowboys' only healthy running back. Choice finished with 82 yards on 18 carries in the victory against the Panthers.
Marion Barber (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8523) is close to returning from a strained left quad injury. Barber missed Monday's game with a injury.

Felix Jones sprained the posterior cruciate ligament Monday but the Cowboys aren't sure how much time he will miss.

"It could get well quickly," coach Wade Phillips said.

Typically PCL injuries take two weeks to get better which would keep Jones out through the bye week.

The panthers coaches only gave D Williams 11 carries and only 4 in the 2nd half even though he averaged about 6 yds a carry on those 11. The Cowboys shutting down the 3rd down conversion attempts in the 2nd half helped keep that number low though.

How in the hell can you watch those two running backs and still think barber is the better choice?
He obviously is still slowed by injuries, and every time Tashard touched the ball he was making big plays.

Choice looked well, but we should have both running backs carry the same amount each game

[crc21209]

Miles Austin is the FUCKING MAN....that is all.

[Whisky Dog]

I think we saw who needs to be the #1 receiver relegating Roy Williams back to his natural 2 and Crayton back to 3.

Brooking is the fucking man, Flozell got corn holed all day, this team is still plain bad with bad coaching.

Not yet, lets see if he can be consistent since now the rest of the league has started to notice him.

[jag]

Miles Austin is a playmaker...his outrageous speed and build allow him to make plays after the catch. RW is great at dropping down to the fetal position after a catch...so far, i've seen nothing else out of him.

[Spurs#1]

So many shit eating grins after barely beating a winless team. It's in the win column but does not bode well for the future unless this teams gets it together.

[LakerHater]

Miles Austin is the FUCKING MAN....that is all.

Against the Chiefs?

[Spursfan092120]

Exactly..he was the man against the Chiefs...not saying he's great..just saying he's one of the best we have on the roster, and a good Y receiver....

[jag]

Exactly..he was the man against the Chiefs...not saying he's great..just saying he's one of the best we have on the roster, and a good Y receiver....

Dude's a playmaker...and he made plays when the Cowboys needed it. He's not being annointed as the next Cowboys HOF player, but it's apparent that he's a better 1 option than RW.

[Spursfan092120]

Yeah...exactly. Roy is a good 2...that's where he needs to be. If Miles is on the sidelines against Atlanta after this game, I'm going to have a coronary.

[kamikazi_player]

I wouldn't put him out as a #1 option, but start him out still as #3 and still have RW our #1 option. Consistency is what the cowboys need. We don't know if he's consistent enough, especially after dropping 2 touchdown catches.

[benefactor]

You don't have 5 Superbowls in the time that Houston has had no playoff wins. Keep it straight now sister.

[jag]

Yeah...exactly. Roy is a good 2...that's where he needs to be. If Miles is on the sidelines against Atlanta after this game, I'm going to have a coronary.

I wouldn't be surprised if Crayton and Williams still trot out there and get the routes for 1 and 2. Wade Phillips is a marshmellow with a head...he's not a leader...he's a soft, worthless, "player's coach."

[Whisky Dog]

Miles isn't the best #1 receiver, he's the best the Cowboys have. Roy and Crayton will probably go back to making plays if they're slotted down too. I'm really disappointed in Hurd - it's apparent he's a camp superstar

[Spursfan092120]

You don't have 5 Superbowls in the time that Houston has had no playoff wins. Keep it straight now sister.
lol..doesn't matter...you're talking smack to a franchise that completely owns you in tradition and history, and you haven't done shit to back it up...get a playoff win and then talk.

[kamikazi_player]

I would, right now even. Did you see how much chemistry he and Romo seemed to have? It seemed light years ahead of were Romo and Roy are.
yeah, but lets see when the other team prepare for miles austin, it's going to be tougher and he's not going to have the same game he did today in the next game i can tell you that. RW is not all that good, but he's able to a few good looks a game.

[LakerHater]

Exactly..he was the man against the Chiefs...not saying he's great..just saying he's one of the best we have on the roster, and a good Y receiver....

Everyone is good agianst the Chiefs!

I think cowboy fan is going way over board with this 1 good game agianst one of the leagues worst passing D's!!

Disagree...the Y receiver is the first option...the guy who goes deep. Miles is our best deep threat..he needs to be there...it's not just talent. Roy might be a more talented receiver, but he's better in the slot...that's his position.

[mardigan]

Everyone is good agianst the Chiefs!

I think cowboy fan is going way over board with this 1 good game agianst one of the leagues worst passing D's!!

Bro its not like he had 100 yards. 250 yards is incredible against anyone. Thats why it is a Cowboys record. I guess we will have to see how many other receivers get 250 against them this year.

Everyone is good agianst the Chiefs!

Dude..we just got a 60+ yard touchdown pass in OT to get a win after losing in the last 2 minutes last week. We NEEDED this win...give us our moment. You'd be excited about a "W" too after that shitty display of football.

Again, lets see how Atlanta's going to react around Austin in 2 weeks when they actually prepare for him. If he can stay consistent, i don't mind bringing up the #2 or #1 slot depending on how well RW and PC do.

[Dr. Gonzo]

lol..doesn't matter...you're talking smack to a franchise that completely owns you in tradition and history, and you haven't done shit to back it up...get a playoff win and then talk.

[Spursfan092120]

Interesting note...2 days after rewarding Alan Ball's big hit on Bobby Wade (which was obviously a shoulder to helmet and not a helmet to helmet) by putting it in the NFL's plays of the week, they fined him for it. Little hypocritical if you ask me. They mentioned he would be fined on Sunday night after the game, but you'd think that if they planned on fining him, they wouldn't make it one of their best plays from the week. Just a thought.

[Obstructed_View]

I think the Cowboys have gotten dinged for that twice so far this season when it was NOT H2H either time. Fining him with the benefit of replay is beyond retarded. It's nearly ducks.

lol...yeah...the worst part about it though is that nfl.com used it on their highlights of the week...after they announced he'd be fined.

[Whisky Dog]

NFL may try to act moral and righteous but underneath they know big hits gets fans pumped and coming back for more.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah nobody should ever pretend that the NFL gives a shit about the people that get hurt playing their sport. Hell, the fucking players union doesn't even give a shit if it means having to shell out any money to injured players.

[Texas Chili Dog]

love me some Tashard Choice!

[kamikazi_player]

Tashard choice should be the #2 runningback when Marion Barber comes back healthy. He'll make a great fit

[Spursfan092120]

We need to keep our RBs the same way we have them now...Barber being the starter, Felix being thrown in there for gamebreaker speed, and Tashard being thrown in there every now and then for a mixture. It works...we need to stay with it.

The main thing I notice about the Falcons is they are tied with the Colts for the fewest sacks allowed with only two. We need to put some pressure on Matt Ryan or our secondary is screwed.
