Hey, I was in Jury Duty all day and unfortunately got selected to the Jury Panel so I couldnt find out if the blow up Witten had on the sideline every amounted to anything.

Heck, I dont even know if it happened, but someone on here mentioned last night that he had to be restrained from Parcells and I wanted to know all the gritty details.

Also, what do you all think if he did blow up. Do you think it had to do with his Contract Year or he was really PO'ed for being ignored yet again late in the game, just like in San Fran.

Two of the DBs on that side of the field were flatfooted and Witten was running away from them. They had almost no chance to make a play. Witten had a chance to score. He might not have scored, but only one of the 3 on that side could've got him (with a good throw), and that was the CB who was covering the WR to that side. Witten will score on that play more often than not.

Witten knew it, and Parcells and Bledsoe have admitted as much since.

I actually enjoyed jury duty. A break from the same old routine of your job. My employer paid me regular wages plus I got like $40 a day for being on the jury (granted $40 isn't much, but its better than a kick in the teeth). All my lunches were paid for and I got to hear some testimony from and about crack addicts.

I found it very entertaining.

I like Witten's chances going up against 2 DB's. Remember earlier in the game he carried 4 or 5 Raiders about 4 yards or so until the zebras finally decided to blow the play dead.

It has nothing to do with Witten being in a contract year, it has to do with us winning a game we should have won.

Jason Witten is going to be a cowboy for a long time, we all know that. And he is going to get paid what he deserves as well.

From now on Bledsoe is going to look at Witten first, or he should anyways.

It's really tough to tell by watching the video.

Sure the DBs were playing off, but they could because Drew hadn't looked to that side, if he's looking to that side, there's a 100% chance they start moving towards Witten... they're looking right at him, waiting for the QB to make a move!

Yeah, this was my first time being called for Jury Duty. I was literally there from 8 am to 6:30 PM and most of that time was spent waiting.

I will never ever make the mistake of not bringing material to read when called to Jury Duty.

But also, I got picked to be on the jury, and it will last all week. Without talking too much about the case, let's just say, the charges are about as SERIOUS as you can get in the Judicial System and I prayed when I got home tonight that I and my fellow jurors make the right decision.

Also, I was not so lucky. We had to pay for our expensive food (even though I didnt buy anything) and you get reduced parking but you still have to pay.

If this works this will be animated.

You make your decision on if he would have made it, or a DB was baiting Bledsoe to throw the ball.

I trust you will see what most people do, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the game, and we would have won.

Because all three DB's were backing up to take Crayton.

He walks in.

The same can be said for Glenn... if it's a good throw.


The problem wasn't the decision, it was the throw itself.

I agree, it doesn't sound like as good of deal for you. And making that verdict isn't easy. Good luck with it.

If it's a good throw Glenn gets nailed at the one. The DB was all over Glenn and Witten was open so it was a bad decision to go to Glenn. However, I don't know that Bledsoe would have had time to turn and check the other side of the field; the pocket was collapsing pretty fast.

See Mike you just do not know the right people not to get picked for ZJury duty. When they found out my Brother-law was a cop and teammate from college was a cop and I knew a DA that was an intern in the court and then worked in the area still as a da. Plus I know several more cops the defense lawyer was just a little nervous about me

It looks like a mirrored coverage and mirrored routes by the Cowboy's receivers. If that is the case when Drew was making his decision pre-snap, is going to Glenn the right decision? I don't know. I would have to say no. Witten is the bigger guy. The routes are short and the receiver is going to have to muscle his way after catching the ball. Witten is better at that than Glenn. I think that points to not a bad decision, but not the best decision in that situation. I don't think Witten definitley scores on that play, but I think he has more of a chance and I don't think it would require as good a throw.

The throw to Glenn was poor.

Everyone makes it sound like it was Drew's decision. If it was "presnap" because they knew they wouldn't have much time, then the play probably was called from the sideline. If Drew had audibled and changed up the play and it bombed, we'd all be screaming about that right now.
