NFL Week 3

[sneakypower]

Romo is a great QB, but man, he has some awful awful moments that hamper him.

 

i don't think he's a great qb, i think he's a pretty good qb who is made to look great because he's surrounded by a great o-line, elite wr, very good rb's and an elite te.

if they don't have elite RBs then i don't know what team does

 

i think guys like LDT and AD are elite RBs. barber and jones are very good but not elite IMO; they may put up elite numbers because the offensive line is so great. just watch how many times barber goes 3-5 yards before being touched.

and watch how many times he's hit and he keeps running unphased

 

best bruiser in the game and terrific HR threat, a top 3 RB tandem without a doubt

[Flames24Rulz]

I guess grounding isn't a rule anymore.

 

Wow, they got it right.

[TruffleShuffle]

The Cowboys OL is impressive. As a Bears fan, I'm jealous.

 

i'm not sure why so few teams in the nfl realize that the fastest way to build a great offense is to build a great O-line.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol, only on the packers? good call.

[Flames24Rulz]

Yeah, that's awesome. Blackmon got his helmet ripped off, but of course, nothing.

Madden doesn't see it, but if you watch the middle of that pile-up Finley threw a punch at Tashard Choice.

[Guest]

Yeah, that's awesome. Blackmon got his helmet ripped off, but of course, nothing.

 

Canty had his helmet tore off too, so those probably off-set.

They don't make for pretty coverboys unless your sponsered by Pizza Hut.

I think everybody realizes that a great OL is the quickest way to a great O, but building one is easier said than done. The Cowboys have gotten extremely lucky with their OL. Adams was a 2nd rounder that wasn't supposed to be anything more than average, Kosier was supposed to be just an average guy with the flexibility to play multiple positions. Gurode was a C/G out of college and started out his career as a G with where he struggled, but he really found his groove when he was moved to C full time. Davis was a bust as a T and most people heckled the Cowboys for giving him so much money. Columbo was a guy that the Cowboys took a gamble on. His first year he spent with us was on the IR, but we let him rehab and ended up with a pretty RT. The coaching of Hudson Houck also makes a huge difference.

Romo hasn't seemed to want to tuck it and run tonight.

davis was awesome in arizona; people didn't realize it because the rest of the line sucked and their schemes are generally bad. the cowboys do a good job drafting/developing the o-line.

 

matt millen doesn't know how to do anything right, but he clearly doesn't understand the importance of the offensive line. they very rarely, if ever, draft offensive linemen high (usually they go for the wr, obviously) and they haven't dedicated much money to it in free agency.

That's a good point on Houck - I think the offensive line coach can make a huge difference in how good your O-line is, no matter the relative talent level.

 

The Titans have one of the best in the league coaching the O-line - Mike Munchak - and I don't recall the last time we had a poor O-lineman. Even our backups and third stringers come in and play well.

[Flames24Rulz]

Romo's throwing more grounders than Derrek Lowe.

[Flames24Rulz]

Everyone's laughing when Tramon Williams is covering a go route. Good win 'Boys fans.

 

Hopefully we show up against Tampa next week.

[imb]

that'll do it

 

 

3-0, not bad considering two have been on the road and the home game was against philly, who always plays us tough

The Cowboys have actually been horrible at drafting and developing OL. We have drafted 12 OL since 2000, only 4 of those remain on our roster and none of the 12 have made a significant contribution to this team.

Schedule has been tough this year, and playing in the East just makes it worse. Can't complain at all. As long as the pass defense continues to grow over the next couple of weeks things will be good.

[TruffleShuffle]

packers need to abandon the cover zero package.

[Guest]

I'm disappointed in how this game is finishing up. I was hoping both teams would play to the end, but it looks like they're both pretty much coasting right now.

[Guest]

Our defense absolutely caved on that last drive. Too many missed tackles, poor angles, and stupid mistakes. I know the game is out of hand now, but this is not the way to finish against a good team.

[Flames24Rulz]

I know Dallas was playing prevent D there, but the pass attack looked real smooth. We really should've attacked downfield more tonight.

[ChiCubsFan]

Miami Dolphins.

[Warpticon]

Miami Dolphins.

 

Hell yeah.

[Guest]

Miami Dolphins.

 

Hell yeah.

 

I thought they had changed their name to the Miami Cowboys? Either way it was a good game for them.

My favorite team, Bears.....lost.

My second favorite team, Colts.....lost.

My third favorite team, Panthers.....lost.

 

Not a good Sunday. :x
