Newman needs to step it up. Just because they are playing zone, doesn't mean he can't make a play on the ball. Newman never plays the ball, he is happy making the tackle after the receiver has made the catch........very much like Jacque Reeves.

This is why i dont put people on ignore because i love reading funny crap! Newman might be struggling right now because of injury n rust but to suggest he is done is hilarious! i cant believe that people get mad at these type of posts and take them seriously!jr40usa;2306370 said:How ever you may fill about Newman his best years are behind him. He will never be looked at as one of the Cowboys top corners. The shut down corner that we drafted never really materialized. You can blame injuries or whatever. Jerry payed him superstar money, but so far hasn't gotten that over his career.
ninja;2306765 said:Newmqn has not played well for a while. He is living off of reputation right now. He is high maintenance, injured fairly often and may not play this week vs. Cinci. He just came off of the worst game he has ever played vs Wash and now gets injured in practice. He got his $50 mil just in time. After this year, people are going to understand he just ain't that good.
High maintenance and low production. Not a good combo.
I wish it weren't true, but it is looking like Newman is avg at best.
Good thing Pac, Jenkins, and Scandrick are available.

If they are wrong than nobody remembers this stupid thread and they go back to their holes.
Um, that's very incorrect. It was just the opposite -- Snyder played man coverage the vast majority of the time.Powerdad23;2306750 said:Newman was an exceptioal Def Back at KSU..but he payed zone defense 90% of the time.
dbair1967;2307030 said:really ridiculous thread
Newman's playing hurt..once he's healthy, he'll be the same CB he has been for several seasons
groin injuries are not hangnails...they take time to heal completely and if you rely on speed and quickness it can be a major issue. Obviously he was injured much worse than they wanted to admit, but the fact he has played at all should be commended, not bashed
had he not played, there'd be post after post of how he wont play hurt and has no toughness...the guy just cant win with you people
Boysboy;2307097 said:The fact is we LOST. Pt being that it's tough when you lose, PERIOD.
It's not only Newman, but we've pretty much played musical chairs throwing everyone in our 53 man roster AND our entire coaching staff under the bus with 100 threads on each all week.
Tomorrow can't get here sooner-we win, everything that happened this week will be nothing but a wet dream.
heir;2306905 said:All this cause he gave up a big play last week? Really? He had a bad game? Other than last week when has he ever had a game like this?
Several times in 2004.
The fact is just simple. He is injured and should not be playing.
Whether or not his best years are behind him are debateable, but he is not a young player and this is the second consecutive season that he will have been injured.
