Hey, cowboy fan i just thought id share my opinions on how the Cowboys roster compares to the Commanders roster and see what you guys think...So let me begin.

Offense:

QB :
Rex Grossman/Tony Romo- Statistically speaking Romo is a much better qb, but based on what ive seen so far this season, Rex is just not the same ole Rex (atleast so far). Hes limiting his mistakes and has good touch in his throws. Romo is a better scrambler and improviser than Grossman, and hes a little more accurate.
EDGE: Cowboys

RB:
Tim Hightower- Decent vision, Strong donwfield runner and deceptively fast.Also a great pass blocker.
Roy Helu- This dude is fast and agile, once he finds the hole hes gone

Felix Jones-Super fast and great catching the ball in the backfield. IMO not an
every-down back
Tashard Choice-Decent backup, not really great at anything but good at everything
EDGE:Commanders

TE:
Fred Davis- an up and coming star, gets past linebackers with ease and has sure hands and good blocking ability for his size.
Chris Cooley- Has lost a step due to injury but can still get open and make plays.

Jason Witten- Arguably the best tight end in the nfl, decent in riun blocking and and elite pass catcher
Martellus Bennett- Athletic and big but not much of a threat, sometimes seems invisible.
EDGE: Too close to call

WR:
Santana Moss-Very quick and good at running routes, Not a true #1 reciever, but puts up #1 reciever type numbers.
Jabar Gaffney- Possesion type reciever and very reliable on third downs, nothing special but gets it done.
Anthony Armstrong- Very fast burner type reciever, has a tendencey to drop some passes but for the most part reliable.

Miles Austin- Probably out for the monday night game, but any way a great reciver and a threat on offense, true number one type.
Dez Bryant-Fast Strong and a mismatch for most corners, has all the measurables to be a great reciver.
Kevin Ogletree-Good slot reciever, decent threat in the middle of the field
EDGE: Cowboys

OL:
Commanders OL- Better at run blocking then pass blocking. Zone blocking scheme could be a problem when executed correctly. Trent Williams vs. D. Ware is gona be a key matchup.

Cowboys OL- With a rookie starting at RT it will be interesting to see how Smith matches up against our rookie, Ryan Kerrigan. With such a young OL im impressed with the pass blocking, but the run blocking could use some work.
EDGE: Even

Defense

Defensive Line:
RE: Stephen Bowen- Good run stuffer, not as strong as i would like, but has some good pass rushing ability.
LE: Adam Carriker- Very underrated player who is strong against the run and is built like a house, sheds blocks well.
Nose: Barry Cofield- Has a good swim move that makes centers look stupid at times. Not the desired size for a nose tackle, but takes on blocker well enough, but could be better

RE: Kenyon Colemon: Dont know much about Coleman, but I see hes mostly a run support guy with good size and a veteran player.
LE: Marcus Spears : Inconsistant player who could be very good at times. Decent Run Stuffer.
DT: Jay Ratliff- Not the ideal size of a NT, but plays much bigger and is the anchor of the Dallas D-Line, also a great pass rushing NT.

EDGE: Cowboys

Linebackers:
ROLB: Brian Orakpo- Great Power, Needs work on using hands better when pass rushing, always find way to the qb.
MLB: London Fletcher- CONSISTENCY, At 36 years old, Fletcher is still running around making play everywhere on the field, tackling machine.
LOLB: Ryan Kerrigan- So far has shown quick improvment in transitioning from a DE to a LB, on pace for DROY, great pass rusher and creates turnovers.

ROLB: Demarcus Ware- Best pass rusher in the NFL hands down. Not many weaknesses, but can be mismatched in pass coverage.
MLB: Sean Lee- One of the up and coming players in the cowboy defense, but still isn't there yet and has work to do. Decent against the run and plays his zones good.
LOLB: Anthony Spencer- Plays the run good and will be a problem to zone block against. Inconsistent at times.
EDGE: Commanders

DB's:
CB1: DeAngelo Hall- Risk taking corner who has average coverage skills, but also has a knack for causes turnovers and has improved tackling.
CB2: Josh Wilson- Much better in coverage than hall, very fast, but can strugle against taller recievers
FS: O.J. Atogwe- Great Zone coverage man, decent tackler, also has knack for causing turnovers.
SS: LaRon Landry: Very physical hard hitting player, causes lots of chaos around the line of scrimmage. Inconsistent in coverage but has could recovery speed.

CB1:Terrence Newman- Decent coverage, underachiever for the hype he gets.
CB2:Mike Jenkins- Good coverage man to man, not very physical and poor tackler.
FS: Gerald Sensabaugh- Good overall player, Gets his interceptions when targeted.
SS: Abram Elam- Good in run support, but a liability in coverage

EDGE: Commanders

In the end I think the Commanders win a close game by scoring a game clinching Defensive touchdown in the 4th quarter.

FINAL SCORE: SKINS- 27
Cowboys- 17
 
I almost stopped reading when you had the TE position as "even".

I stopped reading when you gave the linebacker edge to the Commanders...

Tightends /........

ESPN made the same claim earlier this week.

Brian Orakpo and London Fletcher are great players, but Orakpo is no Demarcus Ware and Sean Lee has been phenomenal thus far.
 
TE:
Fred Davis- an up and coming star, gets past linebackers with ease and has sure hands and good blocking ability for his size.
Chris Cooley- Has lost a step due to injury but can still get open and make plays.

Jason Witten- Arguably the best tight end in the nfl, decent in riun blocking and and elite pass catcher

you dont a player on your entire roster as good as Ware or Witten , you are blinded by the firewater ......
 
Nice analysis...but I think the final score is going to be more like

Commanders 41 - Cowboys 7

Sorry citizens, but that's how I see it.

There is no way that this team will beat that team this year.

:(

In order to reach the number of yards and receptions that Jason Witten alone has amassed this season, you must combine the reception and yardage totals for both Fred Davis and Chris Cooley.

How on earth is that "too close to call"?

im gonna assume your joking because that is dumber than thinking Cooley is on the same level as Witten
 
Fred Davis : 11 catches
191 yards
1 td

Jason Witten: 13 catches
213 yards
0 td

I could see a Commander win by say 24-21.

But 41-7?

How in the name of all things holy could you rationalize that score?

I don't think basing anything on a 2-game sample size is realistic.
 
John Phillips: 3 receptions for 27 yards
Chris Cooley: 2 receptions for 21 yards

He's kidding.

He's employing the "reverse jinx" method.

How convenient. You put up a two-game stat as your proof that Fred Davis is on the same level as Witten? :laugh2:
 
I don't see how you could give the Commanders the edge in linebackers.

You DO realize that both teams play a 34 defense and that you left a starting LB out for each unit?

It is either because you don't know a lot about football, or because you didn't like the way our 4th LB (Bradie James) matched up with your 4th guy, so you conveniently left that position off the list.

So you only wanted to go 3 deep at DL but you also only wanted to go 3 deep at LB, huh?

Way to crush your credibility in your very first post here. :rolleyes:

If he's throwing out the past, he should give the Cowboys the edge because they have the NFL's leading tackler in Sean Lee, and the NFL's leader in sacks, DWare. Which way are you judging, Commander fan?
