I loved the fact that this team and Sean Lee came to their senses and switched him over to the new style helmet. Provides so much more protetion.

Greg Hardy is a monster. I didnt know how i would feel when he was signed about him. But the guy might be a woman beater off the field, but the field the guy is a QB beater. I dont know if it was a one time thing with him IDC thats his life. If he has a problem get some help and dont lose anymore playing time.

Hardy single handed made this passrush formidable. I was amazed at his how in game shape he was. He will easily be a double sack guy for the Cowboys this yr. When Gregory gets back a DL of Hardy, Gregory, Crawford, Lawrence on 3rd downs is going to be sick.

The NFL needs to do something about them picks. Theyre illegal and thats what these undefeated teams are doing in 90% of their pass plays.

Claiborne again had a great game and only gave up plays when they ran picks on him.

McClain was a fator good and bad. good because he's like having another DL on the field playing LBer and bad because he was in and out because of injury.I didnt expect anything different.

Wilcox and Church i hope are both cut this yr. They are one of the worst S tandems in the nfl. If not the worst.

Leary struggled a little twards the end of the game but i think that had more to do with conditioning. Because you saw him start to reach and got caught with holds.And you started to see him get bull rushed and thats
the one person on this OL that doesnt happen to. He just didnt seem to have hs legs at the end.

NE played 9 in he box from the get go, why because they have smart coaches who know Weeden cant throw the ball. They knew he locks on Witten 100% of the time as his primary. They covered everything short and in the flat. Weeden tried to go down the field early and who remembers how off them throws were? He is just a bad QB.

Randle d McFadden im sure are struggling because of the 8 and 9 men in the box. Early they get yrds. After its established by teams Weeden just isnt going to adjust his sights and stik with the 3 yrd passes they drop the guys to the box.

So all of you complaining bout the OL and run game need to focus on the QB. Its his inability to keep the defense honest that stops the offense.

Garrett this isnt pop warner, didnt anybody else see the camera fous in on him late 5 yrds on the field clapping for Weeden? Im glad the guy is loyal to his players on the field, but you need to be the one in Weedens face.not coddling him.

If you wouldve told me Dallas would hold Brady to under 280 yrds passing and sacked 5 times, my first thought would be they won.

Church is overrated and the Wilcox experiment has proven to be a failure. This is a passing league yet we keep SS type of safeties which doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Both need replaced next off season.

I liked Church in the past because he was probably the surest tackler on the field after Lee. But he's missed so many tackles this yr IDK whats happened to him

I'm glad you spoke on Claiborne. The Claiborne critics seem to be out in full force because he got juked by Edelman. One bad play shouldn't make his whole game.

I like our corners. I know I may be in the minority but I like what White has to offer. I like what Carr and Claiborne have done. Patmon is the mystery but it seems he's taking a step back. And plus the possibilities White give.

Hardy was unreal. Putting him in the game.....he made everyone instantly better.

And who else has been more impressed with Jack Crawford then they have with Tyrone? Jack wasn't flawless.....I still don't know how he missed that tackle that resulted in a touchdown but a nice little find. I rarely hear people talk about him other than when we went to London last year lol.

That's my stance as well. I'm kind of done with Church. But make no mistake Church was a solid player for us. He has had his flaws but the guy has missed some tackles and you can't sell me a guy who can't cover. Not again.

Wilcox.....we knew he was raw when we drafted him. He has some nice tools about him. With him I just feel he's more raw than he simply can't play. With Church.....I just feel like he's regressed. He needs to get back to basics and simply TACKLE.

I look forward to your threads every week LM.

We lost the last 3 games in the offseason. Not upgrading the backup QB position, considering Romo is getting older and dealing with his ailments, has tragically ruined this season. The man only had to win us one game before the bye yet he couldn't do it and sadly he seems perfectly content with his play. The man has more arm talent than Romo, but he doesn't have 5% of Romo's heart. Now there's a chance we could be 3 games back in the division 2 weeks from today.

Jones should be the starter at FS next year. Surely we can find one other safety that can cover between the draft and FA

Nice read, Latinmind...and I directly compare Hardy to Haley's arrival...and I don't buy into Terry Bradshaw's pompous belittling due to conduct. Haley was a flagrant antagonist upon his arrival. Even Nate Newton had an episode with fighting dogs way before Michael Vick...and then drug dealing afterwards. I don't hear Terry shouting foul about another analyst.

As soon as the draft pick was announced for Wilcox in 2013 I hated the pick. He only had one year of playing defense under his belt, at a small school at that, and the Cowboys got cute and wasted a 3rd round pick on a guy who probably would have been around in the 5th round or later. And of course he's proven to be nothing more than a marginal safety. No surprise there.

Regarding Church, I thought the Cowboys made a big mistake signing him to a contract extension a few years ago. It sent a message that they were satisfied with marginal play on the back end of the defense. Fortunately his contract will be up after next the 2016 season.

Quick, throw out of the Hall, Eugene Upshaw, John Randle, and Darrell Green...they only played for Texas A&I.

Must have been bad genes and not playing for a top High School program to get started.

J Crawford is a JAG but he fits in dallas because he is that. a guy that fits into a rotation. He gives Dallas a passrush because he's kept fresh.

I recall a Miami no name group that just couldn't be beaten.

Bradshaw raves about the rapist Big Ben so anything that fool spews should be ignored
