Guys I was sitting here thinking....Has Moss ever been "jacked up"....I don't think so, because everytime he goes across the middle he falls down and bundles up like a doodle bug or roli poli......I'm thinking that if Roy or Hamlin can lay some wood on him then that will fire the defense up as well as the fans.....That stadium will be rockin!!! If not a good hit on Moss, then a good hit on Brady........

Rock solid tackling is key. This diving around though is about to drive me crazy. The largest muscles in the human body is the legs and these guys need to start using them in making tackles instead of leaving their feet and diving at the ball carrier. Keep your feet and drive through the ball carrier

Yes and he hobbled off the field for a while. It was while he was in Minn and I think it was when Carter retired so he was the primary wr.

Yeap, IMO if the Cowboys stay fundamentally sound in this game, they can avoid the "RAC".........We need to attack the space, and what I mean by that, is the Cowboys need to close in fast after the receivers catch the ball.....

Man, I would love to see Roy or other LBs totally jack up Moss in the middle. I think he got jacked up once, I can't remember by whom, but to his credit, he held up pretty good and had a decent game.

True and I also expect guys to swarm the ball carrier instead of standing around watching someone else trying to make the tackle. Too often I see guys standing there and when the ball carrier breaks the 1st tackle we end up chasing the play giving up the extra yards.

The reason I'm asking is because Moss is tall like Plaxico, but Plax is muscular whereas Moss is skin and bones......I think that Moss will get the butter fingers if he comes across the middle....

GB used to smack him around pretty hard. It was the only time I have ever rooted for GB. :D

Man intimidation is the key to this game. If we can smack them around a little bit, those cookies will start to crumble....

Roy hasn't lit anyone up this year that I can remember.

He hasn't decked many receivers, but he has laid some wood on a few running backs.

What is pissing me off about him is he isn't wrapping up. He hits, then expects them to fall down. Not only did it cost the Cowboys 25 yards against the Rams, he did the same damn thing against the Bills. We were lucky there were other tacklers around to prevent the play from extending.
