That's the number one excuse the Newman apologists keep using. Desean Jackson also had a bad wheel a couple of weeks ago. He was limping around and a few plays later took a short pass 91 yards for a TD.
Dez played on 2 bad wheels this season and had a rib injury but still ran past defenders making plays at receiver and as a returner.
Just about every player out there has something hurting the Cowboys wouldn't be playing Newman if he was as injured as some of you are trying to make it sound. Those are nothing more than excuses!
You just said Newman is getting beat far too often and that he's slower than in the past now you're saying he's a substandard player but here you are defending him and criticizing those who are critical of his play.![]()
You're saying exactly what most fans here are saying about him so what's your beef?
Alot of teams are forced to play substandard players because that's the best they have at a particular position and most of those teams are struggling just like the Cowboys.
The Cowboys are playing several substandard players and these players need to be replaced with better players during the offseason or this team will continue struggling.
The Cowboys have gotten some pressure this season but their coverage is so pathetic receivers are able to get open quickly.
We have players who make numerous mistakes in coverage and leave receivers wide open.
We just allowed Rex Grossman of all QB's to throw for over 300 yards for only the second time in his career and he produced 4 TD passes. Several of us here could probably complete a pass against our defense.
The Cowboys are on the brink of setting a franchise futility record for total points allowed in a season and most of those points have come through the air.
I don't see anyone putting all the blame on Newman but he's clearly part of the problem.
Most everyone who's given their opinion on Newman sees it clearly even you're agreeing with most of what everyone is saying. You said he's slowing down that's a big part of his problem. If he makes even the slightest mistake receivers run right by him.
The Eagles entered the game 2 weeks ago looking to attack him because he's been beaten alot this season. Teams are targeting him now and this wasn't the case a few years ago.

KJJ and some others,
You all state that "Newman has slowed down", but you fail to acknowledge that Jackson was accelerating while Newman was caught in transition on that play. Just watch the play, or read Broaddus' analysis on that play. That was the difference on the play. Jackson had 210 yards, and 60 were on the first play. Andy Reid bragged about wanting to target Newman, but he went after him deep one time, and they never were able to get him deep again, the entire game. Plus, the Eagles had the perfect call on for that defense, and Vick had all day long to camp and throw. When Newman took Jackson man to man all over the field, Jackson was shut down three straight times.
Robert Meachem is one of the most explosive receivers in the NFL. He gained 1 yard of separation at the Dallas 45. The safety failed to protect his CB over the top, after the CB was past the 15 yard area of that specific coverage. NFL Playbook documented this fact and focused their entire analysis on critiquing Alan Ball. Plus, that play and possession should have never happened to begin with. Roy E. Williams let a fading, tired Saints defense of the "hook'em" when he didn't protect the game that was literally in his hands. He failed to execute the breast play and show a killer instinct. He's in Leon Lett territory, except Lett was a very good DT for some time.
Furthermore, you fail to acknowledge that the Saints run their WRs in and out to keep them fresh. (Meachem, Henderson, and # 16) Dallas' defense had to go back onto the field, on a short week, at the end of the game, when it looked like the game was going to be over. The Saints' defense was done, but the poor football security gave Drew Brees a free at bat.
In fact, it sure looks like Dallas should have drafted Meachem, instead, they gave Roy E. Williams a ridiculous contract and sold the farm to get him, too.
Newman stated that he guessed wrong on the big play yesterday. Johnston (Moose) stated that "Newman came out of his break late" on that play. If you think the ball is going elsewhere, that might cause you to appear to come out of your break late. Newman thought the ball was going in another direction. That has nothing to do with his speed. Newman caught up to that play by the way. His angle took him further than the ball traveled, but the ball was short.
Newman stated that they ran the same play at the end of the game, and he guessed right when they ran it again. The result was another huge interception against the hated Commanders.

KJJ;3756987 said:I have no problem with comprehension that's just another excuse from a Newman apologist.
Idgit;3756990 said:You have *huge* issues with comprehension.
KJJ;3757001 said:Looky here another one of the Newman apologists playing monkey see monkey do. LOL
Idgit;3757018 said:Ah. Almost accurate. If I apologized for the play of our best CB, and if I were playing monkey-see, monkey-do, you'd have nailed it. Another example of the reading comprehension point.
You don't read carefully, so you take weak stances that you can't defend. That pretty much begs people to correct you, and then you mislabel them based off of your tenuous understandings of their arguments. Good work.

It's time to move on from Toast.
