The T Will pick reminded me a little of the pick of a pass to Dez at the Jets a long time ago...before Dez battled for the ball the way he does now and long before he ran any sort of good routes. It was only his 3rd game as a starter and 13th overall.
The problem is, Williams is in his 3rd year now....and was his 38th game
Weak.

Love this quote

"In other words, what we have here with Weeden and Cassel appears to be the following - neither is close to perfect and neither is good enough to win right now. You have one who has the strong enough arm and is not willing to use it, with the other who doesn't appear to have a gun, but is too willing to use it. Welcome to living in a world without a franchise QB. Many organizations call this "normal". "

Turnovers are so much more important now that we actually can throw it. NYG played us honestly and we controlled them. Give me an incompletion and a punt over any sort of TO. Our D played well enough that one opportune TO would've meant a short field for our offense and less points for the Giants.

I saw the same thing in the Butler pick.......he ran a deep in/crossing route, but drifted deeper after his cut, which allowed the db to undercut the throw......if anything he needs to actually come back to the qb. Dez used to do the same thing, and Romo called him on it.........also after a pick

Giants were +7 in TO margin in their two games vs the Cowboys. Look strictly at that is a surprise the Cowboys won any of those two matchups.

Dez also had a hamstring injury in that game, but the radio people made it seem like he was dogging it on the field.

There was not much TWill could do on the pick of that sideline route. Watch it in in slow motion. The ball not close to him.

That play failed because the pass rusher got his hand up and Cassel tried to throw around his hand at the last second.
