help the blind

[lostinomiya]

hello,
i am at the other side of the world and have only kept up with the team through the written word. this is probably a can of worms but can you tell me how the players have been performing?

i mean...i gather columbo has actually been reasonable, ware the best thing on defense, owens a touch disappointing, romo good and not so good and spears/canty disappointing, watkins alright, fasano nothing great.....???

well, there may or may not be a concensus but are there any clear "must do betters" or "pretty good"s? ah, anything ok.

thanks.

I was pretty sure this was going to be a thread about Julius Jones

canty isn't too bad, spears isn't playing to expectations at all
Fasano has had moments where he looks darn good but not consistantly
columbo is starting to remind me a little of eric williams, not nearly that good but the potential is there and he looks like a mean SOB.
Watkins is much imporved from the beginning of the year and will likely turn out ot be a nice complement to roy in the back field.
TO drops the ball in key points in the game way way way too often.
Still he leads the team in receiving stats.
Jason witten is a beast
Terance newman has been slightly off as of late but he is a beast.
Henry isn't nearly as bad as most make him out to be and is still a pretty good CB.
Andre gurode has played much better than I anticipated.
julius jones is blind to holes and like to jump on and run into his own lineman.
Barber is a TD machine
miles austin is a beast on special teams.

What games have you been watching??? The guy is garbage and can't cover anyone, but yet some of you keep giving him free pass after pass.

he isn't terance newman
He isn't garbage not even close, tons of way worse cbs in the league.
He is also playing with a bum knee.
I stand by my assesment

No, but a well disguised thread on TO or Merriman vs. Ware.

Yeah we all know he isn't Newman. There prob. are way worse cb's in the league but there not not making as much as Henry. Bum knee????? Keep the excuses coming.

I'm gonna try to break it down for you quick-like.

See, first, it was all like Romo and Simpson. And some us of were like "Yeah!!!!! Throw it down young fella!" But some of us were like "I don't know. Yah, she's totally hot, but maybe she's not that bright" and so the rest of us were like "Whatever. You know you would so totally hit that and never look back." And then, Tony was like "Guys, you are so silly! *sheepish grin* I totally don't know where you get this stuff."

So that was pretty much november.

Then, it was all like....TO spit on DeAngelo Hall. And I was all like "Whoa....that's some serious stuff. I hope Deion gets involved." And you know what? Deion totally DID get involved. And it was soooooo Britney and Paris feud control, and we were all so totally relieved. But then, it was all like Tony and Carrie.

And I was like "whoa. That's pretty huge, right? Even though she totally can't dance?" And everyone was like, "She's so pretty" and there was pretty much none of the Romo-Simpson drama, which made me feel good for Nick Lachey.

And that's pretty much it.

I had to break it down like that, playa.

BTW, Henry's been injured two years in a row. I think it's funny that Newman was injured in 04, noone knew, and everyone absolutely took a dump on him, then he goes out, and allows 3 TD in 2 years, and none in 05.

So, here's to "excuses."

Or the NFL officials.
