Expect Cowboys To Pull Out All The Stops

[FONT=verdana,geneva]On this holiday of trickery, don’t be surprised if the Cowboys carry it out for the entire weekend. After all, that might just be their best shot to beat the Giants on Sunday.

[FONT=verdana,geneva]Second-team quarterback Brooks Bollinger even sounded coy this week when asked just how many first-team snaps he was getting this week. Bollinger has received a few here in the last couple of days, a little more than usual for the No. 2 quarterback.

I HOPE they dont go there and not fight to win.

dc. com sucks for articles . you cant expect honest journalism from them .

 

[Big Dakota]

I was expecting a little more innovation from Red from game one.

 

[jobberone]

I wish they would do an onsides kick from the get go. Only about 15-20 yards worse than normal anyway.

Yeah, right. If they show any team spirit at all I will be pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately that seems to be out of character for them this year.

I wish it were otherwise but it is what it is and I'll believe it when I see it.

Damn, I have gotten cynical in my old age.

You must have missed the Bucs game then because they showed plenty of spirit and character. Plenty!!!

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Wild Cat baby!

 

[MagicMan]

The only difference I see will be a short leash on BJ......if he comes out inaccurate, slow, lethargic and most importantly, throws an interception; would not be surprised to see Bollinger in there.

This game will determine if the 'Boys will be playing for the division title after the bye, or if they will be playing for a wildcard.

"That's why they play the game" (in a Herm Edwards voice)

 

[dallas2G]

I've been so trained by the Bill Parcells close to the vest offense...I have serious doubts we'll try anything new. I hope we do.

We have plenty of guys that can run the Wildcat offense....but I doubt we'll use it. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[BigDinAZ]

Flee Flicker!!!!

 

[Primetime0201]

Why don't we run direct snaps to Stanback where he can pitch it to Barber, throw it to Owens/Williams/Witten/Bennett/Crayton or just run it himself?

 

[arglebargle]

I expect to see a reverse; and then later a long pass by Stanback or Crayton off another reverse. Really, if there is a time for pulling out all your tricks, this is it.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I HOPE they dont go there and not fight to win.

:starspin :laugh2:

 

[CrazyCowboy]

we better no get too cute.

 

[Stash]

This isn't a game, it's a fight.

Punch, or get punched.

 

[ladiewolve]

Maybe the trickery will be Romo in the second half....now that would be sweet.

 

[shnagy]

Why don't we run direct snaps to Stanback where he can pitch it to Barber, throw it to Owens/Williams/Witten/Bennett/Crayton or just run it himself?

Because it's not the NCAA. Defenses are a little more disciplined in the NFL. I don't think that would work against the Gints. Especially with Stanback running it, who has never shown anything except for the ability to get hurt.

 

[goshan]

I think Bollinger will see some time and we will have a few trick plays up our sleeve.

 

[ThatsmyQB]

I wish they would do an onsides kick from the get go. Only about 15-20 yards worse than normal anyway.

LOL if it was only 15-20 yards, teams would do it everytime! LOL
It's more like 30-35 yard difference.
