Ok bro. I took it for a no look pass to the bleachers.

I wrote shortly for The Bleacher Report in it's raw beginnings...I won't go back there.

But I did get an article of mine published in a different monthly Cowboy publication, on destiny missed.

As to a toss into the stands...hey, I'll take a real football any way I can get one.

No excuses, just trying to free you of your ignorance but I'm pretty sure giving your stellar reputation for reason you'll remain obstinate

That is the issue no one wants to address, Mo is not that football smart. Someone should have sat with Mo during his rookie season when he was running around with that wrist cast on and showed him how to watch tape. I see it in work all the time, some people assume you know how to do things because you are at a certain level within an organization. In Mo's case, I am betting that the coaching staff thought he was doing his best watching the film. In Mo's case, he just watched it and did not understand what he needed to get from it.

I believe him. He doesn't look lost and confused out there anymore.

Nice surprise so far. Is becoming an asset to the secondary, rather than an auto complete from playing off most of the time. Scheme change has helped but in the end its up to the player to execute and he's doing that so far

You'll grade him after he goes against Brady?

Against Brees and then Brady. I say "grade" I'm not a coach and don't play one on TV. However all this love for claiborne too me is very premature. Let's see significant consistent improvement in his overall game before signing him. Looks ok so far against the pass but still a very questionable tackler. All I'm saying.

Only three quarterback touchdowns by opponents in the first three games.

Mo has been having a solid season this far. Can't blame him for this game.

If they officiated Claiborne the way they officiated Breaux of the Saints tonight, he would have had a spectacular game. Breaux was allowed five touches on the WR and didn't have to worry about turning to see the play. Claiborne got called for every time he sneezed.

Only problem with Claiborne are those slants, he's giving too much cushion. Other than that, Claiborne is looking fantastic.

Seems like I've watched this scheme give up those routes since Campo was here.

He was probably the best defensive player left on the field at the end of the game.

............let that sink in.
