IRVING -- Cowboys fullback Tony Fiammetta has been active for two games this season (Washington and St. Louis), and they're the top two rushing performances of the season.

"He is the best blocking fullback that we've had since Daryl Johnston. That goes a long way. It's very effective," Jones said. "The fullback effectively splits the defense. It lets you block up in there, catch up, man up, with an extra player that you don't have when you're playing with a true prototype fullback. Not that [tight end] John Phillips doesn't do a good job up in there and when we need them, any of the other tight ends. He was a big addition. He is a big addition. We want to keep him healthy. If we can, he'll add a lot to us as we move forward these next 10 ballgames."

IRVING -- The Cowboys made a hard push to sign cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha when he was still on the open free agent market during training camp, but the Philadelphia Eagles put in a higher bid and ended up with the Pro Bowler.

"He's already been doing his job. He's got us directing game plans with him in mind," Jones said Friday morning on 1053. FM. "That's what those outstanding corners do for you. Now, we have some corners back there playing pretty good, too. To some degree, their secondary is one of the real strengths of their team. We'll have to and have had to adjust our game plan accordingly."

IRVING -- Owner Jerry Jones was asked Friday morning on 105.3 FM if he believes rookie running back DeMarco Murray can hit triple digits in rushing yards again Sunday night against Philadelphia if coach Jason Garrett commits to the running game.

"I don't know about that. If they have seven- or eight-man fronts and keep them up there, than that [can't] happen," Jones said. "When Emmitt Smith was here they couldn't do that because [Troy] Aikman would absolutely just enilate them with passes to [tight end Jay] Novacek and certainly to Michael Irvin, so they had to move back and keep six men in there.

Well for one ...... I have no idea why he would tell everyone they are game planing for Nnamdi Asomugha.

Two ........ so is he saying that they do not have to respect Romo throwing too Witten, Miles, and Dez?


I really wish he would shut up.

Wow, I assume that's supposed to be annihilate. Hooray for college educations.

I really wish he would shut up.Everyone in the league game plans CBs like Asomugha. Nothing the Eagles don't know already.

I really wish he would shut up.I wonder if there's anything Jerry could say that wouldn't upset people. He's asked about Asomugha and says "He's a great player, and you have to game-plan with him in mind", and somehow he's letting out a big secret, or saying something provocative?

And on the other thing, he's saying that if we can make them stay out of 8-man fronts, like we did in the '90s, then Murray will have space to run, but if we can't, he won't. Also pretty innocuous, to my mind.

I like the new you.

That parts all okie dokie.

The other reference could be taken as if our QB and company can't make the Eagles back out of the box.

I hope they don't. I hope we get a decent ground game and go after the Eagles big time.

No kidding. That's pretty bad.

[Chocolate Lab]

Heh... I notice they've corrected that now. Probably saw your comment. :)

And as far as Jerry... Do people really think teams listen to what he says on a radio show? That they're scurrying back to revise their game plans because of something he says on Friday mornings? Of course not. They're going on game tape and experience, not Jerry's show on The Fan.

I thought the article was quite annlightening.

I saw someone messed up ancestor with descendant, talking about the Grimm character in the TV show Grimm, and how he is the "ancestor" of Grimms long ago.
