DMN Blog: Terence Newman: 'I'm coming out straight ballin'!'

[Rampage]

We understand Straight - what does ballin mean?

he's saying he's gonna play really good on Sunday.

 

[WoodysGirl]

I'll admit it, I have no idea what straight ballin' means.

It means he's planning to play very well.

 

[Hypnotoad]

I think it means hes going to make a play for the ball.

 

[xWraithx]

I'll admit it, I have no idea what straight ballin' means.

you seriously can't form an educated guess?

 

[Hostile]

It means he is going to be balling in a linear motion....pretty simple actually.

I deserved that.

 

[Vintage]

I deserved that.

Yeah, I've heard that song before. It still doesn't tell me much. I've heard of ballin' in hoops which I was told just means forgetting all the flair and going hard. I don't know how that fits CB in the NFL. If he's simply saying he is going to play hard, fine.

I hear the Skins will be Straight Bawlin'.

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm more than ready to have our best CB healthy and ready to play.

I hope his sense of urgency rubs off on the 10 other members of the D.!

thats a good attitude but please dont leave newman alone on moss.

He has handled Steve Smith just fine in the past. TNew can handle Moss.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm thrilled to see Newman coming back. This is just another reason for me to be very pumped up for this game.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

thats a good attitude but please dont leave newman alone on moss.

Posted this before, but Parcells trusted TN to handle him...

[Smith22]

From that article:

One way to deal with Moss — the conservative solution — is to assign two defensive backs to cover him at all times. But that leaves one fewer defender to cover other receivers, tackle running backs or rush the quarterback. Parcells decides he would rather risk having cornerback Terence Newman cover Moss man to man. When the Cowboys are in man-to-man coverage, Newman will go where Moss goes. Parcells points out Commanders right tackle Jon Jansen. “This is Jansen getting pushed back,” he says. “He doesn’t look like the player he was a couple of years ago.” The right side of the Commanders’ line seems to have trouble with twists. If Newman can cover Moss long enough, Jansen won’t be able to hold off Greg Ellis or Marcus Spears, the Cowboys’ pass rushers he has to block.

That article was written in 2006. We're two debilitating Newman injuries along now.

The injuries Newman has had while it kept him out of the lineup is not the type of injury that has lasting effects.

Yeah... T-New now has a bionic groin. He'll be even better.

 

[Temo]

The injuries Newman has had while it kept him out of the lineup is not the type of injury that has lasting effects.

First of all... no, not the groin and/or hernia. Those can definitely linger.

Secondly, I meant it more like "he's older and more prone to injury. Also possibly slower".

In any case, it won't matter. Newman won't be on an island with Moss, that much I can guarantee you. He's still a good CB, but neither the defensive philosophy nor the situation calls for that sort of coverage.

 

[AbeBeta]

Newman health, confident, and with something to prove is a good thing. Our young guys have promise and Henry is decent but there aren't many true #1 CBs in this league and we've got one in T-New

He wants some of Moss - I hope this turns out like the rematch with Steve Smith a few years back.
