Who will be the odd man out? I think Durant and Carter have both earned their keep. I guess one always seems to be hurt tho.. Lee, RoM, Durant and Carter would be a solid rotation.

Carter can go. Durant isn't a mental midget.

RoMc was not on the field for the entire game. Wilber and Hitchens both played. I think Durant was the only one that played all of the snaps.

I thought he was a great at Bama and was solid in Oakland but I had no idea he would have this kind of impact. I hate to say this but it was almost a blessing in disguise that Lee was hurt and we needed to kick the tires on this guy.

This might be the best he has ever played and seems to have a sincere affection for his teammates. This is a feel good story all the way and let's give Jerry his props for making the call and getting him to play again.

Everyone is quick to throw Jerry under the bus but he deserves credit for staying the course, making solid decisions and supporting Garrett.



No one wants to win more than Jerry and maybe Ro is the last piece of the puzzle to getting us over the hump!



Go Cowboys!!!!

I think one of the best things that happened to this defense was Claiborne going down (I don't wish injury on anybody). Sterling Moore is more consistent. He is not flashy, but he doesn't get beat for huge plays like Mo. If Mo was still out there, every offensive coordinator would be game planning to attack him.

McClain doesn't even play every down. The defense didn't particularly play well the first few games till Scandrick shored up the coverage after the first couple games. They've been more solid since the Saints game.

Just wanted to post so I can gloat and say how right I was about Rolando. I argued with several guys on here about Rolando being a tremendous player and talent that was a ferocious leader. But I was told I was wrong.

Bottom line - Rolando is a badass and should get a lot of the credit for the defense having that attitude (swag)

he and Scandrick

McClain missed a game too...

did you follow him in Oakland and what made you think he was going to be this good? I haven't found anyone who saw this coming.

I did actually. I know Rolando personally so I've always kept up with him. He had a lot of problems off the field that hindered his play in Oakland
