Twitter: Broaddus: Holloman may have had setback

[links18]

Is this a surprise to anyone? In Cowboys land, "Ready to Play" generally translates to "About to reinjure it."

Funny how the defense is this banged up, but the offensive stink-fest is not getting the real attention...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

What do they mean setback ? If it's neck related again this guys career could be questioned ..

 

[17yearsandcounting]

The best hope for our linebackers this Sunday is them being speed bumps so one of the safties can finish the job.

Sure it is...maybe not as much. But most of the media guys on twitter have all said the offense has been offensive, ordinary, average, etc.

And by Witten...

Jason Witten says the offense as much to blame as the defense for Cowboys woes
He said, the team's struggling offense, which has dropped to 18th in the league after being as high as seventh earlier in the season, bears as much blame for the team's woes.

Witten said the offense must focus on improving itself rather than trying to overcompensate for supposed expected problems on defense.

"I don’t think you can look at it that way," Witten said. "You play within yourself and trust the guys around you. Obviously the defense and special teams. We’ve got to do a better job offensively, that’s for sure. We’ve got to get down there more and we’ve got to score more. We just haven’t done a good job. We’ve left our defense out there way too long the last couple of weeks. Those areas, we can improve, too. You’ve got to believe in everybody around you. You can’t go in there and say we’ve got to go put up X amount of points. I don’t think you live in that world."

something is seriously wrong with our training staff/ and or we are cursed by the injury bug. IF I remember correctly, Orie Lemon played decently in his previous stint here, right??

 

[Vintage]

He's replaceable in the off-season. Very easily.

Neck/spine, he may be done for the year if not career ending. Wish him the best. Tough year with injuries.

somewhere in a very dark dark place, jay ratliff is snickering.

Well, if Lemon is called upon to play, I just hope he doesn't prove to be a lemon . . . (hee, hee.)

That one left a bitter taste in my mouth.

That's what I was thinking. Which really, really stinks because I was actually quite looking forward to seeing him play this weekend; or ever.

He'll be snickering in jail soon enough if crime still doesn't pay.

Maybe Dallas needs to look into canceling all practices and make them play Bridge, Spades, whatever. After a tough day of playing cards, get out the yoga mats for a short exercise then take them to the movies.

Can also look into getting them all Segway's so no one gets injured walking around

It's getting kind of ridiculous, huh?

I wonder how our injuries actually compare to other teams across the league, though. We're probably getting hit harder than most, but it might not be all that much harder, in context.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

When it rains.............!
You know, there are those who believe that these things even out over time. If that's indeed true, then when we start not getting these injuries, we ought to be hell on wheels...errr, cleats! Question is, can all of us wait that long???

"There are those who believe...that life here began out there, far across the Universe...with tribes of humans...who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians or the Toltecs...or the Mayans.

Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man...who even now fight to survive—somewhere beyond the heavens!"

I'd like to see the same, but I'm willing to bet that our D has been hit harder than just about any other unit in the entire NFL. And I would've made that bet last year too. Unbelievably bad luck.

You can overcome a few injuries on each side of the ball... everyone deals with that. But when one unit gets completely ravaged, it's impossible to overcome. "Next man up" has its limits.

Holloman's presence was my ONE silver lining with these recent LB injuries, so of course he's out too now. Ridiculous.

 

[ilykdrama]

Dude. These injuries. This year and last year. Decimated. Offense has no excuse though. Patchwork defense every week. By the time Lee gets back someone else will be injured. If we even make it to the playoffs it will be a miracle. So tough to be a fan when everything is constantly working against your team.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I hope the offense figured out how to game-plan over the bye week because this defense is looking mighty accommodating.

 

[03EBZ06]

I never believed in things like being cursed, but I swear I'm thinking this team is, it's always something with this team, always.
