PrintWhat do you think, Rhynes, can we get Terrence Newman on the air?
Well, he is on the playing field today, at least.
More special teams suckage?
LB Justin Rogers (back), an SMU product who is one of the Cowboys' better special teamers, won't play.

So
Did everyone go to Luby’s after church today?

Dude, Luby's rules.
Their rolls are out of this world.

Cowboys don't look like they're use to playing Noon games
Its like the 3rd one they played this year

Romo looks just a smidge off.

play action pass
now STFU about playcalling
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
You know, it is funny...
…how much this team is reminiscent of the Switzer-era Cowboys of 97 or 98…
The team would be flat and play below its performance level, and everyone wanted to blame the problems on bad playcalling by Zampese (and now Garrett) rather than the players playing like ass.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:44 PM CST up reply actions
i mean
the players are probably playing alright. but i’m not sure what you can do when you have a pass happy offense and a qb with an injury that hampers his throwing.
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Yeah
That’s exactly what I said. Good job of reading comprehension there.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:47 PM CST up reply actions
Its the Head Coach
Phillips won’t get on any of his players if they’re not playing well. He cuddles them more than anything…
In Smoak We Trust
Much like Switzer
And Jerry encourages that, because he makes it clear that he’s the one in charge, not the head coach, and Jerry perpetuates the coddling.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:47 PM CST up reply actions
Yep
Jerry’s in control. He runs everything. Thats why we won’t see another coach like Jimmy on this team, because he would try and take control away from jerry. Thats why we won’t see a bill cowher on this team, which everyone thinks could happen
In Smoak We Trust
Well
We said that once before, and Jerry broke down and brought Parcells in.
Parcells got things back on track, and then Jerry decided things could go back to the way they were, where this is Jerry’s personal plaything.
Jerry sucks.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:52 PM CST up reply actions
Hell, if i went 5-11 every year
But the good thing for jerry was that the year parcells left, dallas went 13-3, which jerry gets credit for.
And parcells didn’t have complete control….you think TO was his idea?
In Smoak We Trust
Of course not
Parcells didn’t want Owens here.
I’ve heard it suggested that Jerry started asserting himself a lot more than last year or so, which is what led to Parcells leaving.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:56 PM CST up reply actions
That's a lie?
Come on. Parcells didn’t want Owens here. Everyone knows that.
And when you start referring to every college football head coach as “Quitter”, you can call Parcells “Quitter.”
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:58 PM CST up reply actions
Yep.
Quitter wanted him here. Just because ESPN says he didn’t doesn’t mean that is true.
Jindal '12
so parcells did something right?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Yeah
Jerry started getting tired that Parcells was getting all the glory for changing this team around, so Jerry slowly started taking back power.
Right now, it just shows me that I don’t think he will ever hire a controling coach again
In Smoak We Trust
it's not like wade phillips is a dolt
he’s a really smart defensive specialist.
would you be saying the same thing about bringing mike martz in as head coach?
Jerry wants to be in charge but I don’t think that is a barrier to nfl success – so why not let him have it?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Wow
Joe Buck, editorializing big time.

but yeah, I don’t really mind TO talking shit. I think the best thing is just to let him talk and not let it get to you. I think JG (and the team as a whole) is really good at that.

well, despite the blog disputes
the cowboys are playing tremendously
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
I don’t know about tremendously. The offense has made exactly one play, and that was the typical Romo and Owens make a lot out of nothing ad lib.
But the defense has stepped up twice after goofy long passes, and this Polk has made two awesome special teams plays. The offense still needs to get it going though.

Buck/Aikman
Why are they even calling this game? ARI/NYG is a much more interesting matchup.
I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.
They're here for the Thanksgiving game.
It’s cheaper to have them here on Sunday and keep them here for Thursday.
is that really the reason?
seems strange that they think of things like that
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
I hate that rule
If a punt is blocked and goes out of the end zone, the ball should come out to the 1. A play like that deserves a greater reward.
by robert_d_wilfong on Nov 23, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions
Eh.
I think Dallas will take two points and the ball. But I see what you’re saying.

Him and romo need to get to work though
Just seems like no chemistry between them yet
In Smoak We Trust
i don't understand why
the guy makes the offense click. even just dropping balls on the other side, he commands so many double coverages and he makes it so taht you have to cover witten with a LB. there aren’t many receivers that will allow you to do that

But I do want to see him moved to DE when we can get a true NT
I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.
I would love to see that
But they love keeping spears in because hes a very underrated run stopper
In Smoak We Trust
Not to play the "aside from" game
but
Barber is 4-10.
Aside from the 75 yard broken play, Romo is 3-10 for 25 yards.
yeah
i mean, the offense is still playing badly. no doubt about that. but i think with romo’s throwing problems, that’s just what is going to have to be. they are setting up the run for the 4th quarter
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley

""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Just seems like such an easy explanation
When an offense is playing poorly, it rarely matters what sequence of plays you call. He obviously passes a whole lot on first down and runs a lot on second down, but it’s not like there is no reason behind it.
by Brett Perryman on Nov 23, 2008 1:13 PM CST up reply actions
The thing is
That it hasn’t worked. I mean, the standard play sequence is incomplete on first down, run for short distance on second down, leading to a third and long. A lot of the time he isn’t putting his players in a position to win.
Again though
running on first down hasn’t worked when they’ve done that either. When you aren’t playing well, play calling is going to suck.
What I’d question is whether there is something more that he could do to help the offense just execute better. Develop players, somenow get the Ol to stop committing pre-snap penalties, stuff like that.

See
With Romo throwing ducks, if you get zero yards on first down, you don’t try to get 20 on second down leaving a 3rd and 10. Bad play calling leading to fg’s instead of TD’s. Poor play calling.
what would you do
2nd down run? what everybdoy and their mother was expecting?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
How about
A screen, a dump pass, a run, something that gets you between 4 and 6 yards which gives you options, other than a a pass on 3rd and 10 on 3rd down.
yeah, a run was going to do that
i don’t see the point about complaining about a play that had the WR running free 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
and a run on 2nd and 10 wasn’t going to get you 4 -6 yards. don’t know where you got that pipedream
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
A run
A run isn’t the only option, it was just an example. Are you telling me that there aren’t plays in the play book that are designed to get you 4 to 6 yards? Otherwise, why not just run 15-20 yard pass plays every down? The play calling has been atrocious this season and it is clear that JG is not the future for this franchise.
Honestly
Does Joe Buck think every play the cowboys do deserve a flag on?
It seems like he’s said “Theres no flag” about 15 times this game

i think it is important to recognize that he might ask for the ball a lot out of the game. but during the game, all he cares about is winning. other selfish WR’s would probably pout a lot more about getting taken out on 3rd and goal from the 1

So if Dallas hangs on today
the Eagles, Bucs, Skins and Falcons games are worth monitoring. Gotta hope that Carolina takes care of the Falcons and that Baltimore can hang on against Philly. Those are among Atl/Phi’s remaining losable games.
and we already had people complainign about
pass pass pass
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Shocked
Incomplete on first down (bad pass), rush for no gain on second down, third and long.
SHUT UP
good lord you are such a dolt hypocrite
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
The play calling
Is predictable. Thankfully, they got TO on a safety. Having multiple 3rd and longs on every drive is a receipe for failure.
How am I a hypocrite?
yup
2nd down run is predictable, 2nd down pass is predictable. they should have punted
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
No
No, they should have some variety of play calling. It is all predictable. When, as if par for the course, the offense gets zero yards on first down, they are going to run if they passed on first down, and they are going to pass if they ran on first down. When they do run on second down, you can guess the play with about 80% accuracy. This is a predictable offense, its only saving grace is that they are talented and are getting points in spite of the play calling.
How am I am hypocrite?
by jf55510 on Nov 23, 2008 1:55 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
no you can't predict a damn thing
you say each play is predictable without actually predicting any of them
they ran pass pass pass and then pass run pass. then i think it was run pass pass.
i believe one run was off tackle right and then up the middle. how does that comport with your theory?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Huh
My theory is that the play calling is bad. Once, the first down play is run, you can guess the second down play with an extremely high degree of accuracy. Thusly, they don’t gain yards on second down leading to a third and long.
How am I a hypocrite?
hypocrite becasue you said a 2nd down run was predictable
after saying 2nd down pass was predictable
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
he's saying that a 2nd down pass is the wrong call on 2nd and long
which is retarded.
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
That
I am not saying that is the wrong call. The second and long pass is fine. What has been bad is the pass. Instead of trying to get yards on second to make third down manageable, they are trying to get 30 yards on second down.
so they shouldn't open up the field
even though their receivers are running all over the secondary?
or that romo is wrong for going to his receivers long?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
and you didn't answer my question
and you have gotta be shitting me. you are complaining about 2nd and long passes (as if all pass plays are the same and they should be lumped together?)
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
I
I am complaing about the play call. I don’t have a problem with a pass on second and long, I have a problem with what pass is called.
right
you don’t like it when the WR’s run free on out routes
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Well
Romo hasn’t been that accurate on those routes. So, you are asking him to make a throw he hasn’t shown he is able to make. He has been accurate on the long balls and dump offs. On intermediate balls and most short passes, he hasn’t been accurate.
so you want him to throw more dump offs?
there are no dump off routes. there is no route where all of the receivers stay about 7 yards away from the LOS.
you call the play. qb decides whether to throw it to an open receiver or throw it on a dump off. this is far from a playcalling issue
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
There
There are plenty of passes that are similar to a dump off. You have a screen, a quick out to a reciever, among others. There are plenty of underneath routes they could run but don’t.
That was a great looking
dump off there.

Besides, Roy Williams (safety) been to it like every year, yet any cowboys fan can say that he doesn’t deserve it

You think they hand out $70M
contracts to crappy players?

Don't get me wrong, he was a good corner
Its just that was the summer in which the 49ers just spent money. He, on that day, became the highest paid defensive player in the league. It was like us giving all that money to ARod just to get him to sign with us.
I do agree with zywica, i really think its a system problem that clements is not good anymore. Its just he really hasn’t impressed me that much as a player anymore
In Smoak We Trust
haha
you said earlier “clements isn’t that good of a CB”
How am I supposed to interpret that? Like I said, overpaid is not the same thing as “not good.”
You’re probably right about the system they run though.

What i mean
That when he was with the bills, he was good. Thats what i mean by was.
Now, with the 49ers, he “isn’t that good of a CB” anymore. I got a friend who’s a 49ers fan says that hes just too passive and not aggressive anymore. I don’t know if its the system or clement in general, but hes not as good as he was with the bills.

Here's the problem Longhorn
As everyone talked about this week, SF does not press their corners. They play off and don’t jam receivers at the line. Whether Clements is a good corner or not, their technique isn’t to do what’s given Owens problems. A lot of people were predicting a big week for Owens as a result, and that happened.
We’ll have plenty of chances to find out for sure, though, with the teams they have coming up. And hopefully Romo will get healthy enough to give him a full chance.

Is there anything more annoying
than, when a WR doesn’t catch a pass because of good coverage, he gets up and just demands a flag for pass interference?
In Smoak We Trust
Well geez
Looks early like Atlanta is going to win. Dallas still has to pass two of TB, Atlanta and Washington, and it would be one thing if Dallas looked likely to win out, but their schedule is at least a challenging as these teams’ after this week. Was really hoping Carolina would take down Atlanta to help sort some things out, but it looks like the South is going to be pretty jumbled.
Marv Albert sucks
Eli Manning still has dumbface
Giants will lose to the Cards
Did you just see all that truth I slapped on you?

Nice
We are 2/3 through the must win leg.
I kinda half expected this game to 45-7 Dallas or so. Our offense is always there with Garrett and with Wade taking over the defense, we can be really strong.
It’s too bad the Giants didn’t lose to Baltimore. I thought Baltimore would beat them because that team is just salty, and evidently it was a closer game than the score. Because I expect they’ll lose to AZ, and we have our head up match left to possible gain another game on them, which would leave us just 1 back hypothetically.
I’m kinda pissed TO got the ball so much after his whining, but whatever,
Huh?
Not sure where you get that out of my post..
Martz is struggling in SF cus they have no defense. Dallas does.
Who’s better? I dunno, probably Garrett..
To expect Dallas to win 45-7, by your simplistic model, means that both Wade >>>>> Martz and Garrett >>>>>> Manusky, but really that Garrett has to be >>>> Martz. It’s amazing how you OC ratings aren’t concrete, even though their all encompassing dominance of the game is. Some how I can’t help but wonder if there’s another variable…oh yeah, maybe if it had something to do with talent.

Exactly.
All NFL players are the same.
Nolan Ryan is the Greatest Pitcher ever, because Google says so.
"BTW I’m officially welching ab03. Yeah I planned too all along, but I figured I’d try to get off the hook with double or nothing first."- Sharky
Talent
LOL.
Sure, talent, the same talent that was awful here before Garett got here..
And will be awful tomorrow the day he leaves..
And then you guys will probably blame it on the offensive line..
And
You’ll honestly believe it.
That’s whats bizzare.
It isnt very logical, I mean really, really, you think theres major differences in NFL players? You must not have eyes or a logical brain..
Oh this 6’7" 320 pound OL must be so much better than that one why?? Well..he just waddles around better, or something, must be what you guys think..get real.
what was the cowboys record the year before garret got here?
how was their offense with bledsoe? with romo?
""If they'd have told me you can make the team but you've got to shine the shoes, I'd have been there shining shoes." -Bradley
Not really
When Martz is going against Wades defense, we’re likely to stop them, sometimes.
When Garett is going against their defense, they dont really stop us.
Thus, we win the game.
Pretty simple.
If it’s all about talent, then I dare you to make Maurice Carthon the playcaller for the Houston Texans or New England Patriots.
They will be 5-11 the first season, period. With Tom Brady. Period. Theres no debating this.
But dont take my word for it, the proof is in what teams do. They dont care about the draft, and they do care about hotshot young OC’s. Look at the Texans who had to go out and hire A) Kubiak and B) Shanahan..
And all they looked at is young OC’s, so once again I say talk is cheap, what teams do is revealing.
who do they pay more
the offensive lineman or the OC?

OT - Espn streak for the cash
This guy on there is one win away from winning one million dollars (have to guess 25 correct games in a row). So he picks Carolina to win vs. the Falcons.
Might as well kiss that cash away right now
And also, the person who has 23 straight also picked Carolina. Sucks for them
In Smoak We Trust
That's a lot of pressure on Carolina

Awwww.
That’s really too bad. Rackers tried to boot the shit out of that and hit it funny. Moose made an excellent analogy, the idea of having the big-head driver and taking a giant swing will usually lead to a shank.

Damn
Giants opening it up on AZ.
Eli is really, really good at taking opportunities. Then that defense is so good, it’s really tough to beat them.
Hopefully at least Washington loses today out of our direct WC competitors.
And their D is tehsuck.
