therefore QB's will take chances and throw it the other Way......Newman does that sort of thing

He has made the majority of his "plays" on special teams, not defense.
While Jones is very good at corner, he's not on Newman's level. Hype doesn't equal Ints.

wait for it...InmanRoshi;2110129 said:Newman's "lack of INT's" is one of the most overused memes among Cowboy fans. The truth is people just have no clue how rare INT's are, even for perennial All Pro INT's. Newman's INT totals stack up right against everyone not named Deion Sanders...
Career INT's through their first 5 years in the NFL.
Chris McAlister - 14
Terrence Newman - 16
Rod Woodson - 16
Darrell Green - 17
Champ Bailey - 18
I really have no idea where this "Newman doesn't make INT's" nonsense came from, other than maybe it's because he's never had the 7 or 9 INT season ... but the guys who get the 7 or 9 INT season typically follow it up with a 1 or 2 INT season, whereas Newman is pretty steady and dependable for 3-4 INT's a season. I have no doubt he'll eventually have a 7 or 9 INT season at some point in his career, but that doesn't mean that the "playmaker" fairy just magically came into his room and sprinkled magic "playmaker" dust on him out of the blue, it just means he got some lucky breaks and more opportunities than he typically does.
Second, it was the same thing when Tank came on board ... a lot of people started over-hyping how good Tank was for the Bears and that he was going to unseat Jay Ratliff within the first week of practices. Some people just overrated trouble players ... forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest for some, I guess. PacMan has proven to be an explosive punt returner, but his work as a CB has been a mixed bag. He rebounded nicely his 2nd year after a pretty abysmal rookie season, and we don't know how much a year away from football is going to affect him.

Don't just, because he's so talented, don't fall in love now. When something goes wrong and then, you know, you want to go blame everybody. It's a step to what it could possibly be and that's getting to a Super Bowl." - Nate Newton
