heres' a bet... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

we've seen parcells make some decisions out of frustration this season, and as vehemently as he dismisses the notion, i'm willing to bet we DO see Henson play this monday night. i think we'll lose, i think testaverde will throw a couple picks, and i'll bet that at that point, parcells just figures what the heck and tosses Henson out there, if nothing else to see how the rookie reacts and/or how the team reacts.
BP is down to the last straw, and in his frustration i'll wager he just up and decides to put in henson. i hope so. you look at VT stats at NY and they were good, but the win column didn't reflect it. i think VT is a good player who just doesn't fire up his team as a leader should. i think all this denial by BP about playing henson is something of a smokescreen, and he is at this moment seriously considering it, with help from JJ. i hope i'm right, because putting in henson isn't giving up on the season - its making a move to salvage it...

Without an injury, there's no chance Henson does anything but hold on field goals.

Rlmao I know that is a bad joke or oun but I had to get it in.

What is the over and under on when Vinny hits his 3 int mark against the eagles I say 3rd qtr

If BP doesn't anything regarding teh QB situation out of frustration it would be to move Romo back up to #2 cuz of his frustration with all the "Are you gonna play Henson" questions.

I don't think Vinny will throw 3 ints this game. He's gonna throw 4.

"...you look at VT stats at NY and they were good, but the win column didn't reflect it..."

But, the W column did reflect it. VT passed the Jets to 12-1 in 98, went 0-1 as the starter and missed virtually the entire season in 99 due to an injury in the 1st game, 9-7 in 00, 10-6 in 01, etc. In 02, the Pennington era started as VT became Chad`s teacher and back-up. The whole team started out horribly that yr. and was 1-3 when Chad took over. The whole team started out horribly again in 03, 2-4, which caused a lot of Jet fans to joke about how their team almost never started off a season executing and playing well. VT was in the middle of passing the JET season around after 2 straight wins and passing the Jets to a lead against the Eagles before Pennington was put back in right before the half, who then went on to blow that game, etc. So, overall, he went 32-18 as the starter there with 3 winning seasons, (2 of which he passed the team to the Playoffs), before becoming the BU! But even as the BU, he continued to play well as the stats also indicate.

I don't like the idea of exposing Henson to Jim Johnson's defense on a National stage after getting their butts kicked by the Steelers offense.
