It's our weekly look at who's up and who's down following the Dallas Cowboys' victory against the Seattle Seahawks.


Stock Up

Tony Romo: He's gone three consecutive games without throwing an interception for the first time in his career. He's playing his best ball right now as evident by completing passes to 10 different receivers. How's that for "Romo Friendly"?

Patrick Crayton: After losing his starting WR job, he's produced on punt returns. Crayton took a punt back 82 yards for a touchdown -- his second return for a score in as many weeks -- to seal the Cowboys' victory Sunday.

Keith Brooking: The inside linebacker had 11 combined tackles, including two tackles for loss and one sack. He's the second best linebacker on the team, next to DeMarcus Ware, right now.


Stock Down

Ken Hamlin: He picked up a 15-yard personal foul penalty and proceed to do the Hammer Dance after the play.

Roy Williams: Tony Romo threw to him seven times. Seven times. Forget about how the throws were or weren't. Williams had just two catches for a 9.5 average. That's not good.

Marion Barber: We know Barber is playing with a bad thigh, but he hasn't averaged more than four yards a carry since Week 2, when he suffered the injury. Barber needs to come off the bench and be the closer.

Guess Hamlin must of lost a few brain cells in that street fight he lost in Seattle.

Hamlin's stock has been down the entire season, what's new?

Hamlin's ultra average play notwithstanding, that personal foul call was a load of garbage. The ball could very well have been tipped into the receiver's hands, so he had every right to lay him out. He didn't lead with his helmet either so I'm not buying the helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver nonsense.

Exactly! And I find it that funny that fans can't separate facts from emotional perception. Hamlin is coming off his best games of the season back to back and Watkins puts him on the stock down list?

This guy is an idiot.

Pat Watkins should get a stock up as well. His special teams play has been fantastic the last 2 weeks.
