Marion Barber is often mentioned because he takes being tackled personally.

You have to admit Witten is one tough son of a gun after his play tonight. That was one of the most inspiring plays I have seen in a long time. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is that he did not score on the play.

DeMarcus Ware hanging onto McNabb's ankle and from the ground making a takedown is nads.

Marc Columbo went after Ramsey when he tried to injure Julius. Memories of Kevin Gogan came to mind.

How about giving it up to Julius Jones while we're at it? He came back to finish the game after that cheap shot and ran hard tonight.

I'm impressed by this team's heart more than anything else.

I love the way Colombo never hesitates to stick up for his guys. He's always in the middle of it knocking heads. I love that guy.

I love that too, he's got the perfect attitude for an offensive lineman.

amen.

although I didnt need anything I saw tonight to make me believe that, Barber is an absolute warrior and Witten is too. those guys would play in a casket.

Columbo is a big mean dude who means business... I cant tell you how proud i was when he went after ramsey.

Ramsey should be suspended for that, it was absurd, jones was defenseless...

oh and Erik WIlliams and Mark Stepnoski were on our sideline tonight watching the game.....must have been the ghost of williams mean streak we inherited tonight!!

You just had to know Witten was tough after he broke his jaw his rookie year and kept playing, then had it wired shut so he could play the next week

They were? I loved Big E before that stupid car wreck. He was one of the best I ever saw.

That's pretty funny.
......and 100% accurate.

If you hit Marion, you better take him down on the first shot because he only gets tougher to bring down with each passing hit. One of the nicest guys off the field and the flat-out meanest Running Back I have ever seen in my life.

I wouldn't be surprised if during one game he breaks somebody's nose by slamming their facemask back into their nose with his killer stiff arm and then runs back to them after the play is over, takes some blood off the defender's face, and wipes it on his jersey, leaving it there for the rest of the game as a trophy. No seriously, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Attitude is something linemen have or don't but cannot be taught. Big E had it in spades, if only he didn't committe so many penalties.

That image would be my desktop image.

For now, it may be Witten. It will replace Barber running over Archuleta this year.

Certainly makes it easier to cheer for them, doesn't it? I think Barber has rubbed off on the entire offense. I loved how he was encouraging and slapping Jujo whenever he got pushed out of bounds on the Boy's sideline.

Maybe they should play him on a defense a few downs a game just to get that side of the ball as fired up, too.

don't forget big, ol Leonard Davis

Romo had to calm him down after the late, cheap-shot on Julius, and the guy is nasty in the running game

I'm not kidding, I would start Barber and let him run the first 3 plays of every game. I think the whole team would be fired up. He fires me up and I'm 3000 miles away.

If I were to make a Top 5 list of all the guys in the World who I would least want to piss off, I'm pretty sure "Big" would take up at least 3 spots.
