CMike had 20 yards on 5 carries vs Seattle in week 8 averaging 4.0 a carry but the Cowboys decided to go away from him and give the brunt of the carries to McFadden who only averaged 3.2 a carry that day. CMike was never given a good chance. The Cowboys are a stupid team that let go of players who produce for other teams. Dwayne Harris came back to haunt them this season with a KO return for a TD. He had more catches and TD's than Dez this season....OUCH! Newman and Pacman Jones helped their respective teams to the playoffs this season. They have 17 INT's between them since they left Dallas while their replacements Carr and Claiborne only have 9 INT's during their entire 4 year stint with the Cowboys.

Yet almost most to a man, posters here wanted rid of Newman and Pacman.

How about out talent evaluation? We have tried to force JJ Wilcox into being a NFL safety for 4 years and he stinks. Meanwhile Sendejo who we thought was garbage is doing pretty darn well as a safety in the playoffs.

To be fair, players look worse here than they are.

Dwayne Harris? Yeah he was a good returner, average last season for us.

Newman? Newman spent most of his career with us. His confidence was shot and he was a cap casualty.

Jones? He's a punk, nobody ever questioned his talent but we had enough punks on the team at that time.

Christine Michael is just not that good. He knew the offense on a hot team and had a good game against the Browns and the Cardinals backup. He is not a better fit or a better running back than a guy who is top 5 in the NFL this season. Silly to think otherwise and use 5 carries as your justice. The guy sucks...we cut him, nobody wanted him. Commanders put him on their practice squad and cut him. He would be out of the NFL right now if his former team didn't have injuries. 31 other NFL teams turned him down twice because they felt they had better players on their roster.

Or maybe just good defense is being played

The Vikings have a very talented defense and one of the best backs in NFL history.

After the half the Seahawks had, I would be disappointed to be only up by 3.

The grass is always greener on the other side. If Pacman spent the last 6 years in Dallas and only had 10 ints you would hate him. You probably hated Newman when he was in Dallas and would have almost 4 ints a year, but now that he is gone you love that he gets 2 a year. Pacman only played 9 games for Dallas due to suspension and injury. He also missed the entire 2009 season. Hardly some grand example of a player Dallas didn't know how to use. He also cost the Bengals a playoff victory.

Michael didn't learn the playbook. Hard to put a guy in who doesn't know what to do. No one should rue his departure. They should question why Dallas traded for him in the first place, which I do. I didn't want the Cowboys to trade for him and knew he wouldn't amount to much. He will probably be with his 5th or 6th team in a couple of years.

I do agree that Dallas should have let Dez go and kept Dwayne Harris. That would have turned the whole season around.

Dallas has a running back that is in the top 5 despite only starting part of the season. We averaged 4.6 for the season.

Silly, silly argument. Christine Michael was not a fit here and had zero to do with that team making the playoffs. The running game was the least of our worries this season.

McFadden had a career high in carries this season and didn't have as many yards and TD's that he did in Oakland playing behind a lesser OL. McFadden had 8 games averaging under 4.0 a carry and was part of the reason the Cowboys were the worse team in the league on 3rd and one. Julius Jones only had 5 fewer rushing yards in 06 than McFadden had this season but had more TD's. McFadden only scored 3 TD's which is unacceptable for the amount of carries he got and that played a part in why the offense was so ineffective this season. Our scoring offense was way down and McFadden as well as our QB situation was part of the reason.

It's not all about rushing yards it's about situational yards that move the chains on 3rd down and McFadden was ineffective in many of those situations. According to many any back was suppose to be a fit here playing behind an OL that had 3 pro bowlers this season. CMike never got enough opportunity to find out if he was a fit he never got more than 5 carries in a game. Our running game was part of the problem this season especially on 3rd down which put more pressure on our QB position.

Newman is definitely a player I thought if could stay healthy would be solid, which he has been. I remember how cool it was to hate on him while he was here.
Pacman I think did literally nothing here.

You already have your answer. If he was truly the voice of sanity, he wouldn't be pretending he's the Director of Player Personnel. He'd say "You know what, Dad? Why don't we hire someone qualified for this?"

It will be a "seamless" transition from father to son.

Like Darth Vador to Luke Skywalker.......no...wait a minute :muttley:

I honestly thought Newman was done his wheels came off vs the Giants in a season finale elimination game in 2011. Victor Cruz ran past him like he was standing still and a TE hurdled him but he did play injured that season.

Tabascocat · Jan 10, 2016

I always liked Newman yet it seems like he played here a decade ago.

Intentional grounding?

how was that not? Shameless

I remember Cruz running away from Newman soured lots of folks on here in 2011.

Great catch by Baldwin.
