Newman did not, and has not been playing "excellent".

Allowing less than 1 yard per pass play is very good for a cornerback. Against Peyton Manning, it is excellent.

Almost every ball thrown his way gets completed if its on target.

Almost every ball thrown his way yesterday was thrown less than 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. He did get beaten for the 13-yard touchdown, but the coverage was good. It was just a perfect throw. That was the only real negative play that Newman had, and he didn't really do anything wrong on it.

If Newman had been struggling in coverage yesterday, you can bet Manning would have thrown at him a lot more -- and more than once downfield. And he would have thrown at Newman at least ONCE out of his 15 passes in the fourth quarter and overtime.

Why do people get giddy when players, on the team they root for, have an off game?

Almost all of Reggie Wayne's 200 yards receiving was on Jenkins. Jenkins would let Wayne have 8 yards of cushion and still let Wayne behind him.

Anyone who thinks Newman was the problem CB on the field on Sunday was not watching the game. Peyton Manning was playing pitch and catch on Jenkins at will.

Ninja is one of the biggest trolls on this board. He literally ONLY posts in Newman related threads. He starts or contributes in almost every single post about Newman or the secondary.

Regardless if Scandrick/Jenkins get beat 20 times in a game, he'll make a post about Newman instead.

Yep. The only surprise is there wasn't a "Terri" reference.

1st quarter - 3rd and 2: Newman playing 5 yd off WR . His WR catches catches 5 yd pass for 1st down. I knew exactly where Manning was going even before the play.

2nd quarter - 3rd and 4: Newman burned again. Toast.

2nd quarter - around 6:50 mark - Newman burned for 8 yd gain.

2nd quarter - Newman burned by Garcon for TD. Garcon schooled the vet Newman. Newman returned to lockerroom to put his jock back on.

4th quarter (I think) - 3rd and 12: Newman makes tackle after 1st down. Not sure if it was Newman's man or zone.

There you have it. Did Newman even touch the football yesterday? Did I miss a pass he defensed? I want to be fair to him. He SUCKS!

But, he was better than Jenkins yesterday.:bang2: Although, at least Jenkins knocked a ball down on one play to Wayne and tipped another for an INT.

Just exactly, how the **** do you get burned for an 8-yard gain? To make nothing but negative comments after a win, I feel for you.

Thanks for the heads-up; Welcome to ignore buddy!

It's so weird that some segments of fandom seem preoccupied with Newman. It's personal. I don't get it. Is he not "keepin it real" enough, like Jenkins?

Great measured points as always...


I was watching NFL Playbook, and they showed the Meachem play. Now, we know Meachem got separation on Newman, but Baldinger circles Alan Ball and asks, "What is Alan Ball doing on this play; he's not even in his back pedal"? Baldinger was talking about Ball not getting over there to help his CB out, very late in the game. They talked about Ball having poor footwork and technique with his hips. Baldinger stated that Ball looked "lost" back there. It's funny that Baldinger went after Ball on that play and not Newman. Newman didn't make a mental mistake, but Ball did.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

You seem to be very happy that Newman isn't playing very well..

Sad ain't it?

I'm convinced, 100%, that there are people on these forums that are either

A) Not really Cowboys fans

B) It's more important to them to be right then the team win

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Newman did not, and has not been playing "excellent". Almost every ball thrown his way gets completed if its on target. You can say that's just playing safe or playing within the zone but it can't continue to happen if we expect to be successful. Newman is not playing good football.

Now with all our CB's having trouble in coverage, i'd say its pretty fair to wonder how they would do with an actual pass rush on this team. We arn't going to be successful without a better pass rush. Guys can't cover forever.

It doesn't help our secondary, at all, that Manning was throwing 3-7 yard routes all night and our DC was continuing to call coverages where his CBs were lining up 10-12 yards off the ball either.

You're going to get short passes completed on you all night like that.

Jenkins was the one who gave up the two really long plays to Wayne and on those plays he was getting burnt to a crisp.

Why do people get giddy when players, on the team they root for, have an off game?

ijdgi

Cause they're not really interested in being fans. They're interested in being able to say "I told you so" on a message board. It's more important to them then anything. They'd honestly, and they could deny till their fingers broke I still wouldn't believe them, would trade this team winning a Superbowl(s) for being right.

It has been a very bizarre agenda driven campaign by a minority of people on the internet. There has been some very slanderous things stated about Newman. He could take them to court and win a defamation law suite.

Some of it comes from trolls, and some of it is ignorance about the position.

That is part of it but not entirely all of it, imso.

You're grasping for straws trying to defend this chump. So, he's so good that even when he gets burned for a TD, he "didn't do anything wrong" and had "good coverage."

The likely reason Manning didn't target Newman more was because Jenkins was far worse than Newman. At least Jenkins actually touched a football during the game and made a game-changing play.

He sucked against the Saints. He sucked against the Colts. He's been sucking the whole year. Here come the Eagles. It don't look good for either Jenkins or Newman.

 

[The Natural]

Just wanted to chime in on this real quick. Why is it ok to come down on Jenkins and Scandrick when they have bad games but not ok with Newman?

And when they 'suck' and this team wins I'm sure it just absolutely kills you inside.

It's perfectly OK.

But making a thread to talk about an 8 yard pass? That's beyond pathetic.

The complaints about the long catch he gave up last week, in the loss, were more than justified. But where is this guys thread blasting Jenkins for the 2 or 3 big completions he gave up this week?

To my knowledge I've never seen anyone around here get all school girl squeelie
and excited when Jenkins and Scandrick have bad games.

I could be wrong, though.

Really? Folks were calling for Jenkins head after the Green Bay game. And lets face it, Newman was Toast for much of yesterday's game.

No, he wasn't. He was beaten for a TD and a few short passes. "Toast for much of yesterdays game", he wasn't.

In fact, I doubt Newman has ever been beaten as badly as Jenkins has in several games this year. Jenkins has deserved criticism far more than Newman....anyone that says otherwise is blind or driven by an agenda.
