Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Cowboys vs. Steelers

PITTSBURGH — The Dallas Cowboys will be without their Pro Bowl running back today against Pittsburgh.

Marion Barber’s dislocated right pinkie toe, which was injured against Seattle on Thanksgiving Day, has forced him out and he will be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Tashard Choice. Barber did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Barber was expected to be a game-time decision despite not practicing all week. But Wade Phillips didn’t sound encouraged by Barber’s availability late in the week, and his loss puts more pressure on quarterback Tony Romo to have a big performance today.

Barber, who said early last week he would be OK by today, will miss the first game of his four-year NFL career because of injury. The workload now falls on Choice, a fourth-round draft pick from Georgia Tech who has 30 carries for 147 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and no touchdowns this season. He is coming off season highs of 11 carries for 57 yards against Seattle after Barber was injured.

Part of Choice’s duties today will be helping to pick up the blitz in Pittsburgh’s aggressive scheme. The Steelers’ No. 1-ranked defense leads the NFL with 42 sacks.

Choice’s backup will be first-year player Alonzo Coleman, who was signed off the Cowboys’ practice squad Friday. Barber’s loss would have been eased some if standout rookie Felix Jones was still available. But he was placed on injured reserve Nov. 26 with a toe injury and is out for the season.

Keys to the game

Cowboys: Romo’s got to be good on the move, Choice has to contribute, defense needs to stop the run (all do-able)

Steelers: Sack Romo (not just pressure; finish the deal), good day from Roethlisberger, try to intimidate Cowboys WRs (also all do-able)

They weren't that bad

First one should have gotten an easy 5 yards to RW. We aren’t gonna get much in the run game no matter what we were just trying to get it to 3rd and manageable. And the pass play, well on 3rd and long is tough no matter who you are playing

I really think this team should be passing on third and short against the Steelers.

It’s a tough situation, and it’s counter intuitive, but one of their relative weaknesses is asking their linebackers to cover the flats.

I do like our matchup against the Steeler's offense.

The one thing that worries me is that Ben is one of the best deep passers in the league and we’re vulnerable when teams stretch the field. But it’s bad weather and he’s been too hurt to show off his natural talent consistently this year.

I still picked the Steelers, but I think our D will look pretty good.

Oh yeah.

The multiplayer is awesome. It’s one of my absolute favorite games ever. But I beat the story mode in a day and it’s only so fun on repeat playing, and the online is absolute fail.

You’re really limited in playing with friends, can only have like 60 friends at a time, there’s those stupid friend codes, it sucks when it comes to random match making, and when you play random your opponents are anonymous and you can only play 2 minute matches.

Anyone else see Jamey's new Trot Coffey?

I’m glad to hear JD is pushing Cain for Blalock. I’d love to do a combo deal Blalock + ____ for Cain. Still, I’d even be happy with blalock for Sanchez.

maybe/maybe not

but would you do blalock + main?

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

And I don't know why...

just because we need all the position prospects we can get. I know, I know we need pitching but I think we can afford to give up 2.

But how many points do we have?

I get what you’re saying but the fact is we haven’t scored any points yet so they technically are “pitching a shutout”
