Owning the Skins

[silverbear]

Do you truly believe that the Cowboys WRs are superior ? How ? Look at stats. Stats dont mean everything but honestly they are about the same.

By all means, let's look at the stats:

The Cowboys' top 3 are Terry Glenn, Keyshawn Johnson and Patrick Crayton... in their season opener, those 3 combined for 14 catches, for 191 yards and 3 TDs... 13.6 yards per reception...

The Skins' top 3 are Santana Moss, David Patten and James Thrash... in their season opener, those 3 combined for 10 catches, for 126 yards and 0 TDs... 12.6 yards per reception...

Advantage, Dallas... more receptions, higher yards per reception, 3 TDs to none...

But wait, I can hear you now-- that's just too small a sample size... so, let's go back to last season:

Glenn, Johnson and Crayton-- 106 catches, 1543 yards, 9 TDs... 14.6 yards per reception... note that the rookie Crayton only played in 8 games, and that Glenn missed 10 games to injury...

Moss, Patten and Thrash-- 106 catches, 1841 yards, 12 TDs... 17.4 yards per reception... they missed exactly ONE game last season...

So, the Cowboys' top 3 WRs combine to catch 106 passes in 30 games, the Skins' combined to catch the same number in 47 games... obviously, the Cowboys' trio was more productive on a per game basis, while the Skins had the higher yards per catch, and the difference in TD catches is largely explained away by the discrepancy in the number of games played...

Again, advantage, Dallas... after all, they will have all 3 WRs available for this game... and you don't EVEN want to go there if the Boys make Peerless Price active, Price was FAR more productive than your 4th WR, Taylor Jacobs...

No, the WR stats are NOT "about the same"...

Brunell may indeed be as Parcells' says "a bus driver". But when you have the type of defense that the Commanders have and the type of rushing attack that the Commanders have anything can happen.

The Skins rushed for 3.6 yards per carry against the Cowboys in two games last year (49 carries, 178 yards), and zero TDs...

And the Cowboys have significantly upgraded their defensive personnel this year... for one thing, they have gotten much bigger and more physical...

The same can be said for the Cowboys, except that the Cowboys are in a "new" defense.

And that "new" defense took the league's sixth ranked rushing offense last year, the Chargers, and held them to 103 yards rushing on 26 carries, a 4.0 average... last year, the Chargers averaged 136.6 yards rushing, and 4.2 yards per carry...

If you think the Skins can beat the Boys by pounding the ball at them, you're fooling yourself...

Brunell is among the top 20 rated QBs of All-Time. Lets start at the bottom.

LOL... perhaps back in 2001... but over the last 2 years and 1 game so far this year, he has played in 13 games, with the following stats line:

333 attempts... 180 completions... 54.1 completion percentage... 1748 yards... 5.25 yards per attempt... 9 TDs... 6 ints... 70.5 quarterback rating...

Those numbers are LOUSY... in particular, the 5.25 yards per attempt, that tells you the guy is throwing nothing but dumpoff stuff... as further proof of that, he has all of 15 completions of 20 yards or more in those 333 attempts, and just 4 of 40 yards or more... and of course, some of those more lengthy completions were the result of yards after the catch...

And before you say "but he's healthy now, he looked much better in preseason", I'll rebut that argument thus:

1) He played exclusively against backups and guys who are now out of the league in preseason... Ramsey got ALL of the starter's minutes... a veteran NFL quarterback SHOULD be able to feast on that kind of competition...

2) He passed for 70 yards in 3 quarters against the Bears, averaging a woeful 5.0 yards per attempt... once again, he reverted back to being a dumpoff artist...

You can go on and on about the Dallas Wrs. Truth be told they are old (Johnson), Blind (Price), Broken (Glenn), and unproven, but seems good (Crayton).[/qyite]

That "old" receiver put up better stats than any Skins' wideout last year, and caught 2 TD passes in the season opener... and the "broken" receiver is quite healthy at the moment, thank you very much...

Take your slew of Commanders fans on the ESPN board and bring them here so I can one by one get them banned for being idiots.

If one could be banned for that, you would have been history some time back...

How do the Cowboys have a better punter ? The Commanders punter is young and unproven that doesnt mean he sucks (see Crayton).

McBriar was 2nd in the NFL in punting in the preseason (48.2 yards gross, 40.1 yards net), Groom was 14th (43.0 yards gross, 35.4 yards net)... in the season opener, McBriar averaged 41.3 yards on 3 punts, 33.0 net, with a long of 42... Groom averaged 37.7 on 3 punts, 32.0 net, with a long of 39...

And that was the WORST game McBriar has had in quite a while...

Overlook the Commanders.

That is great. This contest will be very different than many of you expect.

Last I checked, no one plays for the Cowboys on the board so your team won't be overlooked. Secondly, Dallas has owned your team and are not much of a concern in this division. That is why I said that we need to worry about Philly, because we have pretty much taken care of business when it comes to the Skins. In addition, we will do this on Monday as well.
