Just some random thoughts:
1) we're 4-4...that sux...there is no way this team, as healthy as it is should be 4-4...there are a couple of players probably underachieving somewhat, but ultimately its mediocre coaching and preparation that has us where we're at.
2) biggest surprise- the solid play of Tony Romo...definitely has shown huge progress and looks like a potential gem
3) biggest disappointment- mediocrity on defense...no way with this talent we should be so inconsistent and be so downright dreadful at rushing the passer..thats all coaching IMO
4) best rookie- I guess Fasano by default...not that he's been great, but he's the only one who is seeing the field
5) offensive MVP---if he had played more games, I'd probably go with Romo...but since he has started only 2 games I'm going with Julius Jones...he has almost 700 yds, on pace for almost 1400...3 100 yd games and lost only one fumble in 168 touches
6) defensive MVP---I'll go with Newman...Roy is having a good year and has produced mroe big plays, but Newman shuts everybody out and almost nobody throws at him (and its probably for a reason)...when you also factor in how truly pathetic our pass rush really is, Newman's great coverage is even more amazing...and he's a good tackler and good vs the run
7) special teams MVP---nobody...we still have mediocre special teams
8) best decision-- finally benching Bledsoe, going with Romo
9) worst decision--1a) not making the above decision sooner 1b) the ignorant decision to go for 2pt vs Washington
10) best assistant coach---he has gotten no talk whatsoever, but Chris Palmer's work is definitely noticeable with Romo...he looks like a totally different passer than he was before this yr...accuracy is way better and his decision making is improved
11) worst assistant coach---Zimmer...hands down one of the worst in football when it comes to pressuring QB's...alot of the big plays we've surrendered would have never happened if we had any semblence of a pass rush...we've played 8 games, take out the one fluke performance vs Washington in week 2 and we have 12 sacks in 7 games...
12) not so bold predictions 1) we finish 8-8 or 9-7 at best and miss the playoffs 2) Parcells and this entire staff will be gone after the season 3) Owens wont be back in 2007 4) we'll use 2 or 3 draft picks on OL in April 5) Demarcus Ware will have 14-16 sacks a yr after this season 5) barring major catastrophic injuries in 2007, we'll win the Super Bowl
