Newman- That's why we let you go - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Hands on the ball for the game clinching pick, and as usual, it falls to the floor. I don't miss that at all.

He had 2 near picks in this game. Per usual, hands of stone.

It was finally nice to see where all those millions went when Carr sucked up that pick. But yeah, Newman had some pan hands today. Id like him to have a nice year aside from playing Dallas.

Newman's hands are suspect anyway... Nice to see him on the other side LOL!

I can't understand how his hands could be so bad.

Some guys have it, some don't I guess. No doubt he's done some grabbing drills. Just a heat of the moment reflex type of things I guess.

thats why they play defense.

A friend of mine who's a Bengals fan was raging on facebook last night about how lucky we where he dropped those picks. I tried to explain to him that i've seen enough of Newman over the years to say it had nothing to do with luck

No he was cut because he demanded too much money. Newman had a solid game yesterday. Neither one of our receivers really went OFF on them. Pac Man too was solid. Leon Hall who is by far their best corner was probably the worst of the bunch.

He was cut because he couldn't stay healthy and if he wasn't just right he had no wheels which was evident in the season finale last year vs the Giants when Cruz ran right past him for a long TD. That game was the worst game of his career. He couldn't run or tackle and ended up being hurdled by a TE. He lost a couple of steps and the slightest injury slowed him up even more.

He was always hampered with something the last few games of every season that would effect his play. He was awful at the end of last season and it came to a head vs the Giants. Even Jerry couldn't find anything good to say about his play down the stretch.

Poetic justice, he had interfered on the play anyway.

One of my pet theories about football is that if you could isolate it statistically the ratio of dropped interceptions to caught interceptions would correlate strongly to the standings. I'm now calling it the Newman Theory.
