Jerrah expects 104,000 strong at the home opener next week.

Also, Brandon Jacobs is a piece of shit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rudy Carpenter is our future number 2 qb. This guy has a cannon.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Ogletree had some sort of an impact this year.

I really like McGee. I see tons of untapped potential.

Dallas will lose tonight, no matter what. If they lose, it's because they aren't that good, they miss T.O., the stadium was a distraction, the jerrytron influenced their play, etc.

If they win, they still suck, because they beat a decimated Giants team that barely has enough players to take the field.

Mark it down.

Don't care.

Barber update

Barber Injured Quad vs. Giants
Posted by rphillips at 9/21/2009 1:11 PM CDT
Running back Marion Barber injured his quad on the Cowboys' final offensive drive against the Giants, Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday. He's scheduled for a follow-up MRI today.

The extent of Barber's injury isn't known, Phillips said, but Barber was seen walking past the locker room without a noticeable limp this morning.

Barber left the game after a 35-yard carry to the Giants' 7-yard line. Felix Jones scored on the next play to give the Cowboys a 31-30 lead.

-Rob

Wade Gets After Them At Halftime
Posted by nickeatman at 9/29/2009 1:39 AM CDT
Apparently he wasn’t the only voice raised in the locker room at halftime, but the head coach certainly got his point across.

Roy Williams said he was surprised by the eye-opening lecture from the usually mild-mannered head coach.

“I was like, ‘wow,’” Williams said. “He was getting after us a little bit. That’s good.”

Phillips was obviously upset with the mental mistakes that led to a 7-0 deficit. But the other leaders were voicing their displeasure as well. Tony Romo admitted to getting after the offensive players at halftime, but I’m sure he was rather frustrated with himself, too.


"Nobody was happy with the first half," said Terence Newman. "There were a lot of people upset about what was going on. But we turned it around."

The defense responded with four straight three-and-outs to start the second half. The offense scored 14 points and got some help from the defense, too.

Doesn’t hurt to get a little kick in the ace every once in a while.

I doubt it's the first time, but it's hard to imagine him "losing it".

Anyway, some morning-after thoughts.

-Romo did exactly as he should have after that disaster last week. Instead of forcing passes when no one was open, he took the sack or just went upfield for some yards. The more he does that, the more comfortable he'll be.

-And that's a direct result of the running game. Massive offensive line + 3 starting caliber RBs - divaish WR = RUN THE FUCKING BALL GARRETT!!! Had he had this mentality, we'd have won easily last week. If teams are gonna dare us to run, we should ram it down their throats until they make us stop. And again, the more we do this, the better it is for Romo, because it opens up the playaction, which he excelled at back in '06.

-That said, Garrett is great at drawing up plays and creating mismatches, but he outsmarts himself way too much. I can understand that one fade attempt at the goalline to Roy (which he should have caught), but why try it two times in a row? Not like Carolina could have stopped another gut punch from Choice. I think if Barber is playing, it's a no brainer that he punches it in there. I think Garrett might actually turn out to be a decent HC, so long as he isn't the one calling plays. I love the plays in the playbook (especially the fact that he's finally starting to fake teams out with the constant draws), I just hate the execution.

-Keith Brooking; where did that fire come from? Dude was acting like a young player out there, and I loved it. We might actually have a spiritual leader on the D now. He got them pumped. Kudos also to Olshanksy, who is doing what we brought him in to do.

-Mike Jenkins gets hated on so much (all stemming from that one whiff against the Giants last year) but this guy's a legit corner and a ballhawk, and he's starting to prove it. Likely would have had another INT had Muhammad not pushed off on that one play. As far as Newman goes, good rebound game. This defensive gameplan goes to show that our boys should be in the WRs faces constantly. We weren't giving them anything in the second half and the defense looked completely different. I hope we use a similar plan in that Giants' rematch, because Smith and Manningham won't torch us again if that's the case.

-Jason Williams can't get healthy fast enough. I'm so sick of Barbie Carpenter, who's best attribute is raising his arms on third down to get the crowd fired up. Can't tackle, can't shed blocks, and can barely cover. What purpose does he serve?

-Good game by Roy Williams, but he needs to catch that jumpball when it's thrown to him. I've noticed in this game and the Giants game, he was open quite a bit. Hoping as we go along, Romo notices it more. I'm not as down on him as most people are.

-Are we decoying Martellus? He hasn't gotten a lot of looks thus far.

-Ratliff = Beast

-A bit concerned about Ware. He's getting close, but hasn't been able to seal the deal. Also, until that last drive, he and Spencer hadn't gotten any plays off all season. I hope what Butler showed is a sign of things to come because those guys are gonna need rest once in a while. I think more sacks will come as long as we keep the defensive gameplan we used in the second half.

Stuff it down the Broncos' throats next week. We should see similar results.

[Derrville]

I agree! Folk is killing us right now. I couldn't understand the thing about switching to Romo for the holder. I mean it was like the blame was placed on McBriar for holding problems. That's bull & it's just Folk is having a terrible year.

They had a Kicking Duel in practice today.

Folk 2-4
Buehuler 1-4

Folk wins and keeps job.

 

[Derrville]

This Saturday night Folk will probably go 0-4 though. oops:

Lol man i sure hope not. We need all the points we can get.

 

[Rayman]

I think seeing the Giants choke like dogs today is going to inspire the team knowing they can lock up a spot tonight.

I hope we come out attacking early the same way we did against the Saints. Don't give 'em a chance to breathe.

 

[Rayman]

Bet Brandon Jacobs was praying hard for us to lose tonight. That's gotta be a bad wound for him to carry around the next 8 months.

Anyone got any salt?

Fuck the Giants.

 

[kmanharris]

We will show up against Philly, but it is still going to be a good game. If we don't allow the big play, like we didn't allow last time, we will win.

 

[Rayman]

I heard that if we win we face philly again the week after.

If we win, and somehow Arizona and Minnesota lose, we're the 2 seed.

We can literally be anywhere because of what happened last night. Huge monkey wrench thrown into the whole thing.

 

[Bmore]

Homefield would be huge for Dallas and Romo in particular.

Yeah, but there's also part of me that doesn't want the bye because it seems we're finally clicking at the right time.

Would like to keep that momentum going, as we're getting healthy too. Marc Columbo has said he will be ready for Wild Card Weekend. (Though Doug Free has been solid, as I predicted he'd be. That said, Columbo is much stronger and meaner and I think his absence plays a role in these short yardage problems we've been having.)

Only cold-weather stadium we'd be playing in would be Philly, and I think that weather bodes worse for them than us.
