Even more impressed with our Oline after Colts v Texans

Did any of you watch the Colts Texans game? Wow, JJ Watt is crazy dominant. He was everywhere, doing everything, and just killing the Colts: stuffing the run, getting sacks, knocking down passes, and even scoring a touchdown. I knew all the stats on him, and I knew he was insanely good, but I never actually watched an entire Texans game (because why would I want to do that?).

Watt was disruptive against us, but compared to tonight, we practically shut this monster down in our game. I'm even more impressed with our oline play now after seeing what JJ Watt usually does against teams.

On a side note, if there was ever a guy to trade the farm for (think Hershel Walker, Ricky Williams, RGIII trade) it would be Andrew Luck. The Colts really aren't that great. Probably a five win team without him, and they got him without a trade.

I didn't see much of a difference besides the fumble recovery for a TD. He was disruptive in our game as well and got 4 tackles in both games. He did get 3 assists tonight and two sacks but those were on Fitz lack of mobility...well one of them anyways.

Our line handled him well(including a TE or a RB). We were just fortunate that Romo had a few juke moves in him that night :)

Watt had 1 play that he made the first play fo the game and 1 he missed on the attempted sack. Other then that he was dominated by Leary and Smith.

What's it going to be then, eh?

The Colts played with not one, but two backup guards. Watt should have been expected to be dominant.

From the get go I saw that Luck was Peyton Manning's Clone! Both carried the team on their shoulders. When they are not there playing the team folds like a cheap house of cards. Yes, I agree if we could trade for Luck we should give them Jerry World!:omg::thumbup::hammer:

PS
We should give Houston Jerry's first born for J.J. Watts!:laugh:

and who won the game? Just like last week. One great D player does not win games. That lesson should have sunk into our fan base after all the years we had ware.

What's up, Burma? Enjoying a more physical Dallas team?

Vs Dallas: 1 QB hit, 1 QB hurry (2 pressures) 4 tackles including 1 run stuff.

Vs Indy: 2 QB hits, 2 QB hurries, 2 QB sacks (6 pressures), 4 tackles 2 batted pass and a fumble recovery for a TD.

There really is quite a big difference in his play. And he did this with little rest

Comparing the Cowboys' offensive line's performance vs. that of the Colts vs. the Texans, anyone with eyes would have to admit our OL did an excellent job in keeping Romo out of harm's way. Especially so, in view of the effort they produced in shutting down the Texan's pass rush in the manner we did against them. Nice!

Oh, yeah, the work the OL did in opening lanes for Murray to run in the ground game wasn't anything to sneeze at either. Altogether, a Herculean effort by them. Now then, how's about we see more of that in Seattle? Yeah, baby!

He was also hurt last week

After seeing him last night, compared what he didn't do to us. I'm more encouraged we can go into Seattle, and out Or can block well. Murray can get some yards on their #1 ranked rushing D, put also Romo can have some protection as well.
I felt good about it anyway, but now better.

That's right, Romo had just as much of an impact as the Cowboys O-line. Watt can't be contained, the opposing teams QB will have to make a play or two against him and fortunately, Romo was able to do that and it was the difference in that game.
