Adam "Pacman" Jones ruffled some feathers in Philadelphia when he dismissed the impressive passing stats the Eagles put up in the season opener. "They played the Rams, dude," he said last Monday, a comment he repeated later in the week when he appeared on Michael Irvin's radio show.


Well, Donovan McNabb and a bunch of backup receivers looked pretty good when they played the Cowboys, dude. And Pacman was at fault for the Eagles' biggest play, the deep ball best remembered for DeSean Jackson's premature celebration.


Perhaps that's why Pacman didn't have anything to say this week. He had been one of the Cowboys' most accessible players since Roger Goodell let him roam the Valley Ranch locker room. But Mr. Jones was nowhere to be found during the media access periods this week.



Maybe coaches and/or teammates suggested Pacman put a sock in it until he does something on the field worth talking about. Or maybe Mr. Jones made that decision on his own.


Sunday night will mark the first time this season that Pacman won't start, with Terence Newman healthy enough to be an every-down cornerback again. But the Packers, who love to spread it out with four- and five-receiver sets, should give Pacman plenty of opportunities to make some noise.

Yeah well he needs to work on his game before opening his big mouth...

 

[Cbz40]

Always better to walk the walk before you talk the talk...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it's only been 2 games, I think by mid-season, we'll see Pac back in his '06 form

which was very good

So.......... Tim. Covering your butt either way? Man up and make a prediction one way or the other. Don't hide behind the "starter" label.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Yea I think the performance of the eagles against us shouldn't have happened.

 

[David276]

tim mcmahon is gay.

 

[Boysboy]

If anything, Cowboys players have been awefully quiet themselves this week(especially after yapping too much prior to the Eagles game last week). Guess they're slowly but surely learning their lessons.

It seems like the Packers are the over-confident bunch, especially with Harris coming out saying how they have the best game plan et al.

Maybe its just me but I thought he played really well vs the Eagles.

I mean how many catches did he allow when he was in man to man?

Especially when you haven't played the game in over a year and looks as rusty as he does technique wise...

Technique? Flat out befuzzled when it comes to zone. He bites on play fakes and releases his cover way to quick. He's out to prove something and is looking the fool, IMO. Too bad Campo ain't the one to harness this. He's already made him a personal favorite and won't draw the line in the sand.

Those are some tight pants.

I think he has been our best corner. How many passes has he given up so far in man? 1 for 7 yards?

Damn shame we don't line him up in "man" when we're playing a zone. He would be "unstoppable".

 

[Deep_South]

My theory is that Pacman is going to get better as the season goes on and should be peaking toward the end of the season, just in time to help us avoid another December swoon. He can talk then.

 

[28 Joker]

I listened to the audio, and I didn't ever hear Pacman say "dude". Am I remembering this right?

The Rams couldn't beat LSU.

Mental mistakes can be corrected. Pacman didn't make a physical mistake.

 

[dbair1967]

He should be fine with more playing time.

They do need to take the reigns off these guys though and let them play more. The coverage schemes have seemed incredibly vanilla and soft since the first preseason game.

No, you're right-he didn't. It was Tim McMahon(yet again) sensationalizing things.

Other than that-there was alot of yapping by our guys going into that game. I was relieved we escaped with a win, AND it seems like our guys have learned their lessons going into this Packers game.
