THUMPER;2448501 said:That's always been his problem. He's a big, strong guy but he is a pansy who is afraid of contact. Probably 1/4 of Romo's INTs over the past 3 years were due to Owens either not finishing his route or not making a strong enough play on the ball. If the ball isn't right in his hands he pretty much gives up on the play.

There's double coverage, and then there's, you've got two defenders superglued to your hips double coverage. That play was the latter.Rack;2448510 said:I agree TO could have put forth a better effort on the play, but that was a dumb decision by Romo either way. Double coverage is double coverage.
The defense has been playing great since the Tampa game, which happened to be when Wade took over the playcalling. Coincidence?koolaid;2448569 said:4) This defense has been playing great since the bye week. They really shut up their critics and start living up to potential. Getting newman back doesn't hurt. The pass rush was ON today.

Bizwah;2448588 said:True.
I think they even played well vs NY. Our offense did the defense no favors that game. We turned it over four times....Our defense just plain got tired.
Newman's return has been HUGE. Spencer's too. I'm not sure how to take PacMan coming back. If he keeps his head on, then our secondary should be pretty salty.
dbair1967;2448040 said:7) Courtney Brown is probably the most useless player on this team. He cant cover, he cant tackle, and today the one chance he finally does get to make a play he completely botches a gimmee fumble recovery.
RainMan;2448799 said:Great post, and especially good note on James. I'm a big Bradie James critic, mainly because I've perpetually viewed him as a guy who talks the talk, assumes the leadership role and then makes no plays on game day.
But he's been a different player the last three games or so. We're a completely different defense with the dominant inside linebacker he's become. Hopefully, he keeps it up. We certainly need him.
RainMan;2448801 said:Oh, one other good note about today's performance...
It was nice watching a Thanksgiving Day game post 2005 where Julius Jones was on the opposing team.
We ran the ball 26x's for 120 yards thats a 4.8 average and threw 34x's for 330 yards 9.7 per catch Thats about as balanced as your going to get with this offense.ThreeSportStar80;2448122 said:I agree, they need to stay committed to the running game!
