I would have to say Portis, only because he has the ability to break the long run.

 

[TheHustler]

Portis. He's their biggest threat and maybe their only game breaker.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

I thought Portis breifly, But then I thought if we dont get turnovers on offense we win this game convincingly

 

[dargonking999]

Portis is really there only game breaker, Moss hasnt gotten down with team yet so i dont see him as a big threat

What about punt returns?
Is he the punt returner for them?

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Moss should be the punt returner for the Skins. He was with the Jets. I think Portis is the most dangerous.

If he dose return with the way our STs played last week he could pose a danger

With Davis, James and possible Burnett back on STs, I don't think kick off and punt returns will be an issue.

James Thrash is returner this week

The obvious choice is Portis cause he is their biggest offensive weapon. But think about it a different way. LT is the best back in the league and above Portis and I think we did a good job on him, plus San Diego's offense is better than the Commanders. It's hard to name a certain defensive player because you never know who might make a big play and cause a fumble or grab an interception. Having said that, I think Arrington and Washington pose the biggest threat making plays behind the line of scrimmage. Washington will also throw out tons of blitzing packages, something that San Diego didn't do last week. Maybe the player we need to fear most is a player on our team that has to pick up a blitz.

Say what you want but the Cowboy Cheerleaders are not up to snuff this year. I hate to say it but the Skins by far have better looking cheeleaders than we do.

Our girls must really be good at cheering I guess.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Id say they need Portis the most. I know hes overrated, but w/o him, they wouldnt even have a hearbeat offensively.


I'd be worried if they throw some underneath stuff to Santana. for 2 reasons.

1) That disables our pass rush, and getting to Brunell nad rattling him.

2) Newman has been poor in tackling recently, if he gets matched up with Moss, and they throw that 1 step turn to the QB, and catch it, it can be a big play. Or a 1st down at least.

I wouldnt be worried about Henry if that were the match upthough, hed take care of it and then some. Hes a LB in a LB's body.....with a DB's hands and cover skills and speed.

Betts actually fits the conventional Gibbs style of offense better than Portis.

I hope you guys arent taking this game lightly.

The Commanders and Cowboys matchup closer than some of you may think.

Skins have some talented players . I do not think there is much doubt about it.
I do not watch the skins week in and week out like I do the Cowboys so I can only speculate that maybe the talent was not well put together.

Another thing I think is that Skins are over due.

All that being said I think the Cowboys do win this one and I do not see a blowout , but I do not think it will be as close as last year when we scored that TD at end of game.

I never take a game lightly....it is a recipe for a let down....however to be honest it really makes no difference except to our own ego whether WE, as fans, take a game.

It is the players and coaches that will determine the outcome of the game, not fans on a message board.

2) Newman has been poor in tackling recently

I have to disagree emphatically with this. I saw him miss one tackle in the SD game, but thought the brought it otherwise

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

He didnt look lost in tackling, but he has missed tackles, and Moss is one of the most elusive players in the league. I forgot know hwo he missed in SD, but whoever it was outside of LT and Sproles isnt as elusive as Moss.


I think Clitnon Portis' stat line is so predictable, that he will not be a huge factor.

Count him for 28-32 carries for 80-100 yards, and a TD.

The only way he sees 28-32 carries is if the Commanders are winning in the 4th quarter. And if he has that many carries the Commanders will win.

The Commanders havent lost any game that Portis has had a 100 yd performance.
