Pacman trying too hard?


IRVING - Cowboys coach Wade Phillips conceded that Pacman Jones' drop of a sure interception against the Bengals could be a sign he's trying too hard to make a play.

"Maybe a little bit," Phillips said. "He's a real competitor, I think you can see that. I think it will come for him. He keeps trying to do better and better. He's been thrown into starting for a defense he never played for before, and did a good job. I don't know how many break-ups he's had. He's had quite a few of those."

Phillips scoffed at the notion Jones doesn't have good hands.

"He obviously can catch a ball," Phillips said. "Anybody who can catch punts like he can can catch a ball."

With Pro Bowl corner Terence Newman likely sidelined again for Sunday's game at Arizona, Jones should get plenty of opportunities to atone for his drop against the Bengals.

I'm pleased that Pacman is playing so well that he might be our best defensive player right now. It also worries me given the fact he's the one guy that is a single slipup away from being dismissed from the league.

A healthy Newman is our best CB. Right now, Pacman isn't playing near the level Newman has generally played the last few years.

Sorry, but that is Jay Ratliff, hands down.

Pac isn't a 100% either. he's still knocking off rust. did you see him man up on 85 in the 1st half last sunday? just wait till he starts catching the ball again.

And I'm for keeping Newman out until he is healthy. I think the news about him shows one reason Washington was having so much success against him.

He needs to understand that he doesn't have to rush back, and let himself heal for when we will really need him the most.

our D is not scaring or giving anyone fits right now, and guess what, having Newman is not going to make that much difference. Everyone on the D is under performing, until the entire unit starts to step it up the presence of Newman is going to do very little.

Pacman is playing pretty well now, I think he's getting better each week.
