A Touch of Hostility... Week 7

btw, I'd wager that Sam Hurd is just as good a blocker as Roy Williams

I'm smart enough to leave that bet alone.

6 for 6 so far. So yes.

Do you want my opinion on Roy so you can steal it?

:laugh2:wow

the lengths you guys go to make a point

conjure up excuses, redirect, cast doubt...nice

 

[Hostile]

No worries. Hos will be piecing together the film of Roy's blocks from today and selling the tape later this week. Get it while it's hot.

You are so amusing. [/sarcasm]

 

[Bleu Star]

I never said I record his downfield blocks. That was you and the other 2 coming to a stupid conclusion. I said he has been a key to the run game because of that ability.

Can you enlighten me on when he will become a key to the passing game?

Just wondering what you used to come to your opinion on Roy's play today... that's all.

does it really matter when I have all the evidence already, pointing to Roy having a ****ty game and a non-fulfilling career in Dallas?

but keep up the redirect, counselor

or as Tony Montana would say, "keep up the bad work"

 

[Hostile]

No. I'm not Miss Cleo Bleu. I just know more about the game than you and the other 2 guys who act like you've scored some kind of victory over me with your wit. Get down with your bad selves. When it comes to the actual game, stand in my shadow and shiver ladies.

I didn't get a chance to hang in the chat room today because I went to the bar to watch the game but here's what I think:

• Romo looked sharp and it excites me all to hell when he's on like that. I was laughing out loud on the duck under two tackles and throw to Crayton for the TD play. His fist pump at the end of that had me psyched.
• Miles makes me smile.
• I'm still not overly concerned about Romo trying to hook up with Roy but I'm getting there.
• I'd like to get back to Witten in the endzone some.
• Any idea why TC saw so little action other than us scoring fast?
• I thought Rossum was going to do punts too? Stop with Newman on punts, that scared the hell out of me.
• Defense was pretty good, sacks are coming, Jenkins is convincing me and T New's hit on that dude along the side line made me stand up. I need a replay of that.
• Brooking is fun to watch, passion with shoulder pads.
• When Hos mentioned we go as Romo goes I think what we're looking for is that one guy that steps up when Romo is off. I think we have that with the 3 headed monster in the backfield...I think its just more that we've shot ourselves in the foot with mistakes and penalties in the games we've lost. If Romo is off and we're not stupid out there the running game can take care ofus.
• Penalties again still an issue and I don't think this will ever go away until Wade goes away. If it was ever going to happen the discipline would have been there long ago. The penalty on Bowen on 3rd down keeping ATL's drive alive just kills me, kills me.
• I'm not going crazy...it was a solid win, they looked prepared and confidence appears to be growing forward.
• C'mon Arizona!

Well, we're 4-2 and beat a very good Falcons team. Stealing a line from Bill Parcells, "put away the anointing oil." Just as I don't want to get too low on losses, I don't want to get too high on wins. Not even one that fits the bill of a dominating win over a good team. There are 10 games left and a lot of work to be done.

I will never like the Prevent Defense. I know the last score was a garbage score and in reality was just fluff. I still do not like it and I have to tell you, I hate our version of the Prevent Defense more than any other version I have ever seen. It worked. I don't deny that. It often does. I hate it because it opens doors for the unlikely to happen. We lost the time of possession stat for this game largely in part to 2 things. We scored fast, the running game struggled, and our Prevent Defense sustains offensive drives.

Overall, this Defense came to play today with the exception of the the drives to start each half and the Prevent. Matt Ryan got harassed and pounded on all day. How about the lumber the DBs brought today? Mike Jenkins has elevated his worth to this team. He went from being a bust to our best DB according to some posts I have read. My how the pendulum swings.

Nothing really wrong with the swinging pendulum. I often say we all are neurotic. Screaming at the TV and throwing hissy fits.

Speaking of screaming at the TV, once again stupid penalties could have been crucial. In fact, I lauded the Falcons for their drive to start the 2nd half. In truth another silly penalty kept that drive alive. Has to be fixed. Good win, still has to be fixed.

One thing is obvious to me this year. "Romo Friendly" means this team will live and die with how well he plays. When he is on, we are in the game, no doubt. When he is off, we will struggle. To his credit, we have been in every game this year. I agree with Troy Aikman's commentary during the game. I do not understand the vitriol directed at Romo. I never have. I don't want to. This kid is a fantastic football player. He escapes pressure like few QBs can. He engineers drives.

I'm curious, how many of you still wish the Jets had made that qualifying offer to Miles Austin? I prefer my crow fried. He has been everything I hoped and more. I saw him as an Alvin Harper type of option for this Offense. He has been more like Rocket Ismail than Harper. If he breaks a tackle and gets in gear he will not be caught from behind. The Defense better hope they can find an angle.

The running game wasn't the 200 plus yard juggernaut of the early season. That isn't surprising when 2 pieces of the running game are recovering from injuries. The passing game stepped up today in the absence of that consistent rushing attack.

Just for your information, Jason Witten is tied for #9 all time in receptions by a TE. The Fox announcers even said Tony Gonzalez, the best TE in NFL History, acknowledges that Witten is the best TE in the game right now. Jason is now 18 receptions behind 8th place TE, Jackie Smith. Yes, Super Bowl XIII's infamous Jackie Smith. In other words, he is now in HOF territory and he's only 27 years old.

We are blessed to watch this kid play. He is one of the all time greats at his position. He and Tony haven't been near the dynamic duo they have been in the past. I think it is coming soon though. They are trying to get everyone involved and in sync. Then Jason gets back to being the dominant receiving TE in the NFL.

In addition to climbing the TE receptions ladder, Jason is within reach of being #2 on the all time Cowboys receptions list. Emmitt is #3 at 486. That is now only 24 receptions ahead of Witten. Drew Pearson is #2 all time at 489, a mere 27 ahead of Jason. Amazing young man.

I don't know how to express how thankful I am for Joe DeCamillis. Remember when Jerry and Wade were over rating him? Remember when a few posters said "bring back Bruce Read?" Those posters should be mooned by a chorus of fat people. I used to dread special teams. Now, I just need to dread the Prevent Defense. Okay, I already ranted about that and will move on. I trust our Special Teams. I can't believe I am saying that.

The last thing I want to discuss is the guy who I think is as responsible for today's success as anyone. Keith Brooking, I am proud to enjoy watching the way you play football. I wasn't too excited about you coming here. Oh my, was I wrong. Thank you. It has been a pleasure sir.

I enjoyed today. Hope you did too.

I agree. I admit I was one who wasn't going to be upset, at all, if the Jets had made that offer for Miles.

I'll admit that right now I'm really glad they didn't.


I'm loving Jenkins. He's my favorite corner right now. Kid just plays ball.


And I am so proud of our special teams turnaround. They've been outstanding this year. A punt return for a TD. Big kick returns. 2 blocked field goals. Good field goals being made. Punts are outstanding. Dang good kick offs.

You're mistaken if you believe I am attempting to prove I know more than you. That's such a petty thing to do... I don't get into that crap on a message board. That said, I do find your defense of Roy as laughable to say the least. Before this little conversations digresses into something ridiculous, I will bid you a wonderful night. Our Boys won tonight and everyone should rejoice in the victory. However, you spent plenty of time in the RW trade thread prior to his return and somehow can't find it for the life of you now. That's funny. You may want to google map it or something... No mention of Roy in your weekly diatribe. Once again, laughable.

I'll keep amusing you and you keep amusing me. Have a great night.

I dare you to tell me that isn't the case. You guys can blow the rest of it all out of proportion and play your little slap and tickle games, but you have an NFL player you can ask about the impact of WRs blocking for a running game. The question is, are you honest enough to?

Oh, that question was probably unfair. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

12 receptions 230 yards

50,000 down field blocks

Roy is a regular Jackie Slater

Rossum's got a dinged hammy .....

6 games into the season, and yes, his receiving numbers are disappointing. So are Witten's. IIRC, he's 6th among TEs in yards/game.

However, what isn't disappointing is our run game and Austin's production. Good thing Austin is there to pick up Williams/Witten's slack.

he tossed invisible blocks to spring 2 of Austin's TDs, and of course the down field blocking for the running game...superb

I talked about things that mattered in the game, good and bad. Same thing I do every week. Pay attention sometime.

You don't have ALL the evidence. Most of the evidence comes from WATCHING the game. You didn't/haven't yet. So you looked at a stat line, and came to a conclusion. Guess you didn't see the skipped pass at his feet on a slant or the floated overthrow when Roy was expecting more of a bullet pass. He would have likely run for miles on both. And I'm assuming you didn't see on his one catch that he was a pinky graze from taking it the distance.
