Pro Bowl Observations & Thoughts

[Doctor32]

Aside from Ware's fumble on a kickoff return, I thought the 13 Cowboys' performances represented the team well.

Any thoughts... ?
I mean it's the only Cowboy action we'll get until mini-camps.

Well some of them did. What of the things I don't like is the failure of the network to show the introduction of the players. Years ago they used to do that and it was nice cause you could see the players. They stopped that a few years ago and it's not the same. Anyway I thought Romo and TO played well, and Barber along with Witten, go some notice. Also Ware, Ellis & Hamlin were mentioned. But as so often happens, if they mentioned the names of the OL then I missed it. Although they did say #76 was called for a false start so I assumed that was Adams--at least he got his jersey mentioned.

I didn't think Romo was that great. He should have been picked off a few times.

Romo looked good. Witten looked great, and after 2 drops, Owens was fantastic. I'd love to see more Irvin-esque quick slants to him in our offense. Money.
Barber and Brian Westbrook got the shaft on touches in the game.

I think TO played well.

Romo played pretty well. He had at least 2 drops (TO), and his pick could have been caught by Cooley, IMO. The pass seemed to bounce off Cooley's hands to Cromartie.

Witten was very solid and productive for his number of plays.

MBIII did great whenever he got the ball, which wasn't too often. (On the other hand, Westbrook only got like 1 carry, I think.)

Ware was excellent in pass coverage, from what I could make out. Ellis was solid in coverage as well, for the most part. Ellis played some end in the 4-3 too.

Hamlin was running side line to side line. I really hope we re-sign him.

TNew didn't distinguish himself either way, but I don't think he gave up any TDs.

RW seemed mostly in on STs, from what I could make out.

The OL was hard to tell . . . .

Folk's kickoffs seemed better in the Pro Bowl than end of the season with us. Maybe he had a chance to rest his leg and he was getting worn down by the end of the regular season . . . .

He had a bad start. He was leading T.O. and another receiver too obviously. Getting batted down at the line of scrimmage. He was looking like he did against Buffalo. He got it together as the game went on tho.

I agree. I enjoyed watching the game and was glad to see the Cowboy players played a big part in the NFC winning. I loved all the trick plays like the fake punt and the throw back on the kickoff return called by Mike McCarthy as well as going for it on 4th down all the time. It was a fun game to watch.

Yeah Roy Williams was exactly where he needed to be, on Special Teams! :laugh2:

that one stare down pass to TO was crazy. I was wondering if he was waiting for TO to look back at him.
