Interesting Steven Jackson comments...

[Reality]

General stats ..

Saunders used fewer than three receivers nearly 70 percent of the time against the Cowboys. The Rams averaged nearly 9 yards per attempt on 14 carries with two backs, two receivers and a tight end. They averaged 12.4 yards per pass attempt with one back and two tight ends. The Rams exploited the Cowboys' run blitzes, particularly on Jackson's breakaway run.

Steven Jackson's comments:

"I was really confident in our game plan," Jackson said. "Watching a lot of film on those guys, we really felt like their body language as a defense, if you jump on them, we felt like we could really take them out of their game."

"We just tried to kill their morale. They are a talented team and it's something that we felt if we could jump on them, we could put them away."

Strahan was saying something similar today. Something to the effect of us not being able to take a punch.

Im thinking of a word..

I can see it in my head...

starts with an S

sawww...soooo...soooaaaf...soooaaft..soft

Oh, that's it we are soft. Like some kind of Pillsbury Dough Boy coached team. Soft breakfast croissants that melts on the sight of an offense is how soft we are. We shouldn't be soft.

He's 100% right, this team should be ashamed of them selfs, Jackson more or less called them a bunch of gutless pansies and he's spot on.

Wade should start questioning their manhood cause they play and act like a bunch of girl scouts

 

[RainMan]

Pretty damning accusation. And, yep, he's right.

 

[Boysboy]

Wow-somehow, SJ must have been reading MY mind, as that's what I've been saying for over a year now.

its so true.

 

[Sarge]

It's embarrassing to me that we are looked at as a bunch of candy-*****. It boggles my mind that they don't seem to let it bother them. The chemistry of this team, especially on defense is frightening and the problem is NOT 100% coaching.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Dam, SJ just questioned their manhood.

And he is spot on, this team is softer than charmin.

stopping the run is our biggest problem

Strahan is a phallus-headed Cowboys hater and is a joke as an "unbiased" commentator. He's a joke as a human being and husband as well.

Ouch!

gee, another Nors out of nowhere comment that makes no sense

hey Nors, you might want to check the stats of the first 6 games...we were ranked pretty high in rushing yds and allowed and yds per attempt

 

[VACowboy]

Some of us saw this in the preseason and got slammed for the suggestion.

Please. Strahan has not shown any of that so far on his tenure on Fox and has not shown any bias toward any team at all. Also, most of what he said of Dallas so far this season is basically true especially the last couple of weeks. He knows we are talented. He also knows we are soft. He respects the heck out of the Cowboys though.

 

[TheCount]

People were saying this weeks ago, this team has been mentally soft for years and now they have let it carry over to their physical play as soon as things stop going well. We are not a team built to grind out tough wins, they built this team to play with a lead.

Actually Strahan always gives Dallas their props now that he is a commentator. He picks them every week to win. As for the other stuff, well I dont pass judgement on anyone until I have met them personally.

At least their pockets are straight.

From what I've seen he's done it as a joke and to appear impartial.
