Default A fun little Cowboys trivia note
When Brandon Carr intercepted Foles and returned it for a touchdown, he became the 50th member of the Dallas Cowboys to have had a pick-6.

Source: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...er-defense.htm

Most common last name of the Cowboys Pick-6 club?

Edwards: Dave, Dixon, & Mario

Most pick-6's: 4 - by Dexter & Dennis. (Coakley & Thurman)

Cowboys with multiple Pick-6's: 19 (latest one by Anthony Henry)

Cowboy Linebackers with a Pick-6? 14 (latest one by Sean Lee)
Note: Greg Ellis was a DE when he got his pick-6 in Philly. He is not part of this 14 players.

First Cowboy Pick-6: Sept 20, 1964 - Mel Renfro picks off Redskin QB George Izo in the 4th quarter of a 24-18 Cowboys win.

I like it.

I know you stay on top of this. Are we still ahead of the Bears on the all time win % list?

No.

Bears are at .579
Cowboys are at .573

I remember a time when Dallas was around .610. Thanks to Jerry, those days are gone.

Bears lost Urlacher today. I wonder if a collapse is coming.

Actually, that doesn't really matter, as I am not expecting Dallas to win any more games. They should be underdogs in all of them.

The culture in Dallas has changed greatly since Jimmy Johnson left. When even Bill Parcells could not turn the culture around, most Cowboys fans know that the main problem is the owner.

Regardless, I thought it was pretty neat how Brandon Carr was the 50th member of the Cowboys Pick-6 club.

The only name I did not recognize was Jimmy Ridlon. He picked off Y.A. Tittle in week 9 of the 1964 season. About 7 weeks after Mel Renfro's first pick-6.

They won't be underdogs against the Saints at home. It may only be 2 points, but they will be the favorites that game. The Saints have the worst defense in the NFL. It is bad in all phases.

I do admire your hope. I hope you are right and Dallas wins them all.

This offensive line Dallas has gets me very discouraged.

Me too, but I am not going to change who I am because of them.

When is Costa coming back? Will he come back? Anybody knows? While you're at it when is Peprah and Ratliff coming back. Me thinks when we get those guys back we'll look a lot different than today.
