Not when you compare them to Andre Johnson's today!

It's semantics. Miles had the game in his hands with 12:10 left in the OT, but he slowed down.

I ripped on him after Atlanta...but today he was great.

Keep it up that's the way you can play all the time Dez.

i think his mistake on that one catch woke him up and fired him up.....he played a beast the rest of the game. you cannot only measure his stats, you also have to measure the penalties and yardage he forced.

definitely a great afternoon for 88

That's true, your right, I forgot about that one when I wrote that. I don't know what that was either....

He is improving which is all you can hope for. Meanwhile he's on his way to 1150 yds 7-8 TDs.

He needs to do this on a semi-consistent basis.

He's really showing why he deserves extra time to develop lately. Miscues are disappearing and more good plays are showing up instead
Yeah, I also think he thought he had the first down. I missed the thread when he did that so I don't know that anyone criticized him too harshly for it but I can imagine they did.

As far as his development goes, you can see the change in his game. If Romo would just get some time and make a few more accurate throws, he can crack the game open. He is a game changer.

He's gone over 100 yards in 3 games, over 80 in another 3 games. In 4 games he's been targeted 5 times or less. That's about as semi-consistent as it gets given a 10 game sample.

I wanted to post this in the "Is Romo on the Downside?" thread, but it's been locked. Miles isn't half the deep threat that Robinson was, or that Dez could be. Not a knock on Miles, his game is catch-and-run, and he's the best at it.

He's our leading receiver (yards wise) right now.

Do you all realize we have three players over 700 yards receiving....and we only have 8 TDs from those three players?

The games where he's targeted so few times is because he runs the wrong route, causing an INT, and Tony stops throwing to him.

Thats funny, cause Tony didnt even throw an interception against Atlanta when Dez was targeted 4 times, or against Carolina when Dez was targeted 3 times, or last week against Philly when he was targeted 5 times. You wanna try again with a different story?
