My wife thought Romo new his real name... had to explain why quarterbacks identify the mikes.... I think she still believes his name is Mike .

What does the Mike mean

It means he is the middle linebacker

 

[1LoyalCowboyFan]

It would have been awesome if Romo yelled yea you are, hike!

 

[JPostSam]

that was hilarious. i was hoping it would continue throughout the game. "stop pretending, dude. you are soooo the mike."

What does the Mike mean

Simple term on Defense the MIke would be the middle linebacker, in blocking assignments he may be the key person to be blocked.

I think I heard the ref tell the D Player to shut up and stop yelling.

Middle linebacker

Who said "yes you are" at the end?

 

[LatinMind]

Where did this welter of names come from? The earliest examples I’ve found are decidedly less manly than today’s Sam, Mike, and Will. It was Tom Landry who pioneered the 4-3 defense as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in the late 1950s, before going on to coach the Dallas Cowboys. For the strong-side, middle, and weak-side linebackers, Landry used women’s names: Sarah, Meg, and Wanda.

McClain just comes off looking like a complete idiot. Actually you are the mike, genius

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

 

[TheCount]

So ... was he the mike?

Some mysteries are better left unsolved.

 

[guag]

Wasn't even the 2nd best McClain on the field today.

That is true. Terrell McClain was ballin today

Or the 3rd. I have been tough on Terrell McClain but that TFL and strip of Williams was a thing of beauty. Cowboys have been getting robbed of at least one takeaway/D TD the last few games.

Yeah but its all in fun. He's just talking smack. I LOVED it. In such a rough game...its always fun to hear little exchanges like this. I was in tears lol.

I guess its a lot harder than doing it but I really wish refs would let these guys play and then blow their whistle.
