Austin cleared for Iggles per Mac Engel...

[newlander]

Any of you see that? Engle's reporting Austin will play against Philly. NIce. I imagine he'll be the #4 option and Jefferson will go back to the P.Squad. I just want to know how we're going to keep those rabid dogs off Romo without MB3 at full speed.........

 

[Real1st]

I really hope MB3 wont miss alot of time.

 

[SteveOS]

Great news!

Great, just another weapon to add to the mix. As for Barber we will see how he feels today and as the week progresses

 

[dmq]

Great, we need him. I never really appreciated him or Hurd, but if you double down on TO it becomes much harder to move the ball w/o a good 3rd receiver.

 

[zrinkill]

Barber said he could have played ..... and it was not really that big a deal.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

We also have an extra day for Barber to heal better, since we are playing the Monday night game.

 

[Tex]

With Barbers style of running they better be fitting him for some kind of flak vest to protect those ribs though! I just dont want the injury to linger. If we didnt need him so bad in pass protection I would sit him this game. But having the two rookies back there picking up blitzs against Philly makes me very very scared. I think the running game would be fine for a couple games without Barber but I would be very scared that Romo would get killed with a blitz pickup being missed.

glad to hear about Austin. We have a deep threat now.

EXCELLENT NEWS ON AUSTIN!

I bet Barber will wear a flack jacket and won't miss a down.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

hey, they will blitz right by Felix.....and it will be to late.

 

[Doomsday]

Wow that is fantastic news.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Thats a concern if he can pick up the eagles blitz =/

CC...i know you mean well but would you pleeeeease stop trying to jinx us:bang2:

If the Eags blitz they actually need ot worry about Felix popping one on them. I swear in his 6 touches yesterday he was 1 man from a TD at least 5 times.

If you wholesale blitz you better make sure someone can tackle Jones because they aren't catching him from behind.

 

[theogt]

I want 4 receiver sets of TO, Austin, Stanback, and Crayton. Add Witten in, Jebus.

His technique definetely needs to be better and a year on the weights will help too.

But the positive thing is it looks like he knows where to be. Thats 90% of it right there.

I agree JT. If I were his position coach, I'd probably sit him down and just make him watch all the film I could get my hands on of Roger Craig. If Jones can get a bit of a high step going, he could probably have taken two or three of those to the house. He was tripped up by the ankles a couple times this year. Just a little bit of a high step would take care of that.

 

[BigDinAZ]

This is real good news. I can see Barber in just as an extra pass protection, so that Romo get get the deep ball to Miles or TO.

I was sorta thinking the same, but then I thought teaching him to high step (when it's not his natural running style) may take away from his explosiveness. I would rather have him work on his balance a bit more if possible.
