I'm sure that got is praying San Francisco picks him up.
They're giving a lot of praise to Zack Martin over at dallascowboys.com.. Hasn't allowed a sack, flagged for one penalty, and allowed only four hurries. That's insane. There was one play I saw in the NYG game where he took his man and ran his ass at least 10 feet out of the way. That son of a is gonna kill someone on the line any game now.
Murray bought the o-line imacs

Okoye is back on the D-line
http://www.foxsports.com/southwest/s...ce-coma-102314
After 17 months away from the sport -- not to mention going through a medically-induced coma -- it's understandable that Amobi Okoye was excited to return to football practice.
"It was hard to sleep," Okoye said Thursday afternoon.
It's one thing to return from an injury, but Thursday marked Okoye's first practice after suffering from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, which resulted in him being placed in a coma for three months while he underwent treatment in the summer of 2013.
Okoye lost 78 pounds during that stretch, and he agreed that it didn't seem likely he'd ever be fit to return to an NFL field.
"To be honest with you, no. After you go through what I went through, you never know what the heck is going to happen later," he said. "I'm just fortunate and blessed to be where I am now."
That's been a long journey, to say the least. Okoye was discharged from the hospital in August of 2013, and the Cowboys signed him to a minimal risk contract on May 16 of this year. He wasn't heard from again all summer, while doctors monitored him for signs of the seizures or memory problems that marked his sickness.
"It's been real tough, just knowing the fact that you might not actually get to do what you get to do anymore, and having that ability right now is priceless," he said.
Doctors cleared Okoye for contact in August, but the Cowboys have been moving slowly with him. The team placed him on the Non-Football Injury list, which took him off the active roster during the season. He has spent the last eight weeks working with strength and conditioning coach Mike Woicik during team practices.
"His story is amazing, and a guy like that who works real hard, I see him all the time working with Coach Woicik in one-on-ones," said linebacker Bruce Carter "Just to see him actually be out there with his teammates and just to see it pay off for him is a good thing."
Okoye was the No. 10 overall pick by Houston in the 2007 NFL Draft. Even with that much talent, he said it was strange to be back in a full practice -- a place he hasn't been since 2012.
"I don't really know how to explain that. I mean I don't know. I really think it felt -- sometimes it felt normal and sometimes it felt weird," he said.
At this point, all the Cowboys would have to do to get the defensive tackle into a game is open a spot on the 53-man roster. That's likely still a ways off, but Okoye said his first day back was a strong start.
"I think it was a really good day today, for the first day. There was a lot of progression and I think I did some good things," he said.
Didn't Okoye have the ebola?
end the season 11-5 1st round exit tbh
Better hope romo is ok. I just had a feeling romo would go down at some point this season
The NFCs best team is still located in Dallas.
Starting this week, anyways, what with the Cardinals visiting!
Dallas is so much better than last year, even after this bad loss.
Now you get some offensive lineman going down, then big problems arise.
This game actually could have been a lot worse. Redskins lost 2 or 3 easy turnovers.
Just a bad night for a much better team. The blocking and play selection on blitzes was bad.
Just a bad game all around. Redskins blitzes always trouble the cowboys. got ass jim hasslet
lol gots
This is what happens when you cut Michael Sam.
Well, hopefully they remember what got them 6 wins in the first place, running the ing ball.
Durant out for the season? Oddly it seems every time a player gets hurt on the Dallas defense, it improves. Weird.
Exactly. 19 runs for DeMarco is not what's been working. Couple that with the majority of Romo's passes being overthrown, they're gonna lose 100% of their games. , look at the TD for Bryant. That was another ty pass, most receivers wouldn't have caught that. Gotta give a lot of credit to their DB's, Breeland was a ing beast last night.
You can see that the Redskins really studied the tape of Romo. They completely shut down his spin move last night.
Also - Anyone catch Jeff Heath get decimated on a blind block on the big punt return in the first half?
That is a BIG loss. He's ing everywhere. Reminds me of Dexter Coakley in his prime, even got the same jersey. Wilber needs to step up and make the most of his snaps.
funny. 19 carries is still a decent amount of carries, and people are pinning the loss on his low attempts. when the Seahawks lost to the cowboys in game where Lynch only had 10 carries, everybody here said the Seahawks lost because "struggle wilson"
double standard
I never said that. 19 carries is decent for a lot of teams, but isn't what the Cowboys have been reliant upon. Key mistakes doomed the Cowboys, like the DeMarco Murray pointless fumble where he was fighting for an extra 2 inches of ground.
Tony Romo’s back injury that caused him to miss several series in the loss to Washington may have been more serious than previously let on.
According to ProFootballTalk, one league source with knowledge of the situation currently believes Romo will miss time with the latest back injury. The injury is reportedly a contusion, but thankfully it is in a different spot from on his back than the one that required late-season surgery in 2013. The team will await more information from doctors regarding his condition.
As noted by Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, coach Jason Garrett has been all over the place regarding Romo, from saying he anticipates Romo will play to calling that speculation
