I doubt that very much , the quiet one are the ones you worry about, you never see the blowup coming but when it does its like an oil derrick type explosion this does an athlete with what im sure is far more athletics body with giant hands ie big fist etc

just because hes not passionate and full of fire like TO , dont think for minute he wont crush your little fan head..yes you are the little girl you described compared to an NFl Athlete..punter would woop you..

It reminds me of my competition fighting days. I would travel inter- and intra-state attending tournaments. And I would see these big hulking guys and think "He's going to tear somebody a new one." Then I'd see these smaller, thinner guys and think, "He's going to get his behind handed to him."

And then the fight would start. And the big guys could hardly move, had limited techniques, terrible balance, etc. Meanwhile, the guys you least expect could fight, could execute spinning back kicks, roundhouse kicks to the head, had boundless stamina and would end up winning.

This happened on more than one occasion.

I stopped stereotyping fighters. It's the guys you don't think can fight who can.

My two cents.

I dunno.. the two targets I saw go Dez's way were not thrown where he could get a hand on it. One was a good yard behind him on an quick post and the other might have been a decent throw but Dez slipped coming out his break and the ball sailed 10 yards beyond him. Maybe if there's no slip he could elevate and go get it but it was not a good throw. What I did notice was that on several of the long Runs Dez put the db he was blocking on roller skates and kept pushing him down the field for like 10 yards. But it's hard to judge Dez with as bad as RGIII was yesterday. And for the life of my I can't figure out why when the DB backs off 10 yards they don't just zip it out to Dez and let him pick up an easy 7-8 yards and if he breaks a tackle take it for 30. Seems like that was there for the taking most of the game when Dez was in and they never took advantage of it. Maybe Lenahan is calling plays in Baltimore?
of course hes rusty hasn't played in what 3 years and had a tendon blow..but yes proper use of talent goes along way..

Ah yes, the average Cowboyszone user, criticizing the toughness of a 6’1, 225 lb professional athlete, covering their keyboard with Cheeto dust in the process.
exactly Chris Jones the punter would out an azz whooping on these fans,, they dont realize even how big some of those dudes are because of who they are surrounded by, you see some of those ST tackles Jones made..LOL

I just noticed that he was struggling to get separation on defenders, just like he did in Dallas. However, I also noticed he can still block really well in the running game.

So crazy to see Amari like that...Peters must have said something serious! Amari is so calm and collected 99.9% of the time.

Even when he was going after Peters, he still looked calm, cool and collected to me. Cooper just isn't one to show his emotions on his face.

That's what I was going to say. Hard to judge Dez based on RGIII and then the other QB who came in later. Both of those QB's were terrible!!

Y'all get Cooper confused because he's quiet...he'll put them hands on loud mouth Peters....people think he can fight just because he's the loudest in the room....

I watched the Pittsburgh - Baltimore game yesterday. Dez did not look very good. He certainly is a big guy, but he looked worse than he did his last year in Dallas.
You mean a guy who hasn't played since 2017 and is coming off a ruptured achilles and is 32 years old didn't look good? Shocking.

I was surprised the Steelers were giving Dez the kind of cushion they did because even young Dez wasn't going to consistently run by you but if you back off and let him get his hands on the ball he presents a 225 pound problem. Maybe they knew RGIII and McSorley wouldn't be able to get the ball to him with any regularity.. They turned out to be 100% correct. The two throws in Dez's direction were horrid .. As were most of the throws they made yesterday. But when the DB drops that far off the quick pass out to him should be an automatic read. I think Dez and Romo had that worked out.. Clearly the guys in B-more do not.

Accuracy? Romo had it.

Cooper amazes me. He even looked calm and collected during the scuffle.
