Terrell McClain

Maybe you forgot about the 4 turnovers in just the first half of that game, Dez not running his routes correctly and Miles following suit. Cowboys beat themselves that game and it was not even close. Being rested and healed allow them to get back into the game until the end of the 4th quarter. Butts were puckered by fans on both sides until the end of game. You will also notice this current team is much different in personality. Warning before watching, the act of seppuku(japanese self inflicted sword) is similar to what the cowboys portrayed in this game.

Dez wasn't running his routes well in 2007 with the Cowboys? Interesting. Considering we didn't draft him until 2010. Jeeze Dez was even doing bad things on the Dallas Cowboys before he played for the Dallas Cowboys

McClain is a beast. I hope we can keep him beyond this season! Isn't he a free agent?

Yes he is. Going into the season we had around 18 FA's. But that number has changed a little, but still around there somewhere, 15 to 18.

Yeah, a team not ready to play their A-game will do those things.

You might seem to remember the time we played coward at the end of the season and went on to the Super Bowl. Wait. That never happened.

It was the Oline that failed us in the 2nd half against the Gnats in the 2007 playoff game if you recall. Something I'm not concerned about this season.

The same O-line that lost their battle to the Giants twice this year?

I blame Patrick Crayton!

Zeke had 87 yards in the first half of the second game. Touched the ball 8 times in the second. I think they did just fine.

And then they got dominated in the 2nd half. Lost both games because of it.

And then they got dominated in the 2nd half. Lost both games because of it.

So they dominated because we didn't use Zeke and kept rolling Dunbar out there? Seems more like we dominated ourselves

Whatever your excuses are, the Giants won the line of scrimmage in both games. That's why they went 2-0.

So while you're not concerned about this o-line failing them this year I am. I've seen it twice.

Durant has been very good for us especially in coverage this year, so gonna be glad to get him back out there.

This bye week is gonna be so good for us because guys who are dinged up on the defense get the full 2 weeks to heal and guys who played vs the Lions but were hurting that we didn't take to Philly get THREE full weeks.

True but Wilson has really seemed to play better in his absence.

 

[Sydla]

So I guess we can mark Risen down as believing the Cowboys will lose to the Giants in the playoffs?

 

[Trouty]

McClain has been our best DL, even better than Irving. The dude is a beast against the run and one of the main reasons we are #1 in the league.

I completely agree, JC.

 

[Trouty]

Wilson played really well, in particular, last game. Gakchar even flashed at times.

It's interesting how some instinctive college athletes don't get the complexity of the NFL for a few years. I think even more effort to evaluate that needs to be done pre-draft, not just the Wonderlic.

Both Mo and Durant fit that category, and while they've begun to shine, I would bet they would regress if traded into a different system, which is probably part of why Durant came home to Dallas.

Based on reports from a number of outlets, it appears all should be at practice this Thursday even in a limited basis. Collins is going to practice and Claiborne is going to do individual drills. The rest are said to be at least in limited practice. Those seem to be great signs going forward.

You got me, that was poor on my part. Had to be TO on that first interception.

My video link from NFL.com shows Dez in the game, they spliced together a couple of different games the first interception is clearly Bryant #88. Nice catch

It definitely is. Strictly from a health perspective, the news is about as good as it can get, and arguably, the Cowboys are in as good of shape as anyone in the league right now. Fortunate in the health department and several players that were hurt, getting healed up just in time for when the games truly count.

Darn it, stop making sense. As much as I hate to admit it, you've been spot on in this thread.
