TeamCowboy -

Demarco ain't exactly Eric Dickerson coming out of the backfield ... he has had a few nice games, however one good POP and off to IR. Just about as brittle as they come.

Keep laughing.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Murray is a Top-7 NFL back. Easily. 5.2 YPC, leading rusher in the NFL after 3 weeks. My only concern is his weird fumbling thing he's been doing, but that will get fixed.

And you all know about Dez.

But I'd love to know how your team is just going to magically "stop" Dez and Demarco.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Byrd wont make a single play until they stop lining him up 30 yards away from the ball. And no one else seems to fight for the ball. I dont see a swarm of defenders attacking the ball either on most plays. It sounds absolutely ridiculous looking back on how they practiced creating turnovers all offseason if all they have is 1 FF/R throughout 3 games.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Agreed. Two problems for dallas is that as bad as our defense has looked at times we have a top 10 rushing defense. Plus, if St Louis 3rd string QB was able to light them up with basically one legit threat in Cook, I expect brees to have a pretty big day. If we bracket Dez and force romo to look elsewhere I think we will do pretty well.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I didn't realize Cowboys fans still existed anymore, much less have the audacity to post on other team message boards.

The cool thing about playing in Dallas is it will feel like a home game with so many Saints fans there.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

It has all the makings of a score-fest...

So it'll probably end up 23-17 - a blown coverage and Cooks takes a screen 68 yards for the winning TD in overtime.

:banana:

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

No magic to it, just like there was no magic to doing it last year
Dez Bryant

From last year, with Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins at safety...
Star receiver Dez Bryant, covered mostly by Keenan Lewis, did not have his first and only catch -- a 44-yarder -- until late in the third quarter. Jason Witten was held to two catches for 27 yards.


I suspect they'll get some yards though, they're great players.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Yup, my team hasn't done anything noteworthy in 20 years and I'm still a fan.

Die-hard Dallas fans are some of the best fans you'll find.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Tony Romo, you never know what your going to get. He's like a box of Chocolates.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

The snap hit Drew in the hands. Not a miscue at center.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

This game is going to come down to who's Defense is worse.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Sunday night football hope we bring our best ! I really need too see something this game that makes me feel like we are a legitimate contender

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Funny how the games with two high flying offenses rarely turn into shootouts and generally are low scoring games. Saints should come out with the win -- just please -- no injuries! I am so sick of being shallow in the secondary.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

We beat them 42-17 in '06 and the loss in '09, which was our only loss to them in the last 9 meetings, was 24-17... hardly a shootout. In 2012 we weren't even good and we still got a big lead and then just sat on it. We didn't sit on a big lead the next time we played them.

The Cowboys are perfectly suited for being pummeled by the Saints. Where we are strong they are weak. Where we are weak, they have greater weaknesses that mask their strengths. For instance, they have some good players on offense, but because they are so bad on defense they become one dimensional on offense, as they are always playing from behind. Then there's the Romo issues I mentioned before. That allows our defense to tee off, and offensively, as I said, they have no answer to stop us. There are other good offenses that they struggle with, but other than '09 where we slept through the first 3 quarters, we have been their kryptonite. That's why in my opinion this game represents the greatest test of where this team is mentally. If we can't pressure Romo, then our defense is truly bad and not just in a funk. And if we struggle against that defense then obviously we've got problems.

I don't anticipate that we'll struggle on offense, but I really want to see us get after Romo. We'll give up some plays like we always do, but if we force them into mistakes and get out to a nice early lead we should take control.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Hicks had a sack right

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

ball control, we need long sustained drives. Against their d we should, notice should be able to accomplish that. That will take pressure off our D and with a couple of decent plays we should be able to get a win.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I expect Brees to target cornerback Mo Claiborne EARLY and OFTEN. Outside of that INT late in their game against the Rams, Claiborne has been about as disappointing as Patrick Robinson has been for us over the last 3 years.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Jimmy will dominate in this game. I hate predictions but 150+yds and two scores for JG.

I hear ya. More cowgirl fans up there than WhoDats...

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

it is going to be a shoot out. brace yourselves

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I read somewhere that they could bench him.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

He definitely appears to be having an off season. His play was terrible in the Rams game but for the INT. I still think he has a lot of raw talent but folks forget he's a streaky player. Even at LSU his sophmore year was poor compared to his junior and final year before he was drafted.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Wow ... guess we'll find out come Sunday. They aren't all that pleased with Brandon Carr at the #1 CB spot either. After JJones unloaded the Well$ Fargo truck to him, he has been nothing more than adequate.

Deathstar nation has serious problems on D as well.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

How about Moe Claiborne, straight up trade for Patrick Robinson, player for player trade. Just have them switch jerseys and pants right before the game. Both guys can shake hands and meet their new teams, and be equally totally unprepared for whatever happens in the game.

What the heck, why not, I say let's do it! Make it happen, Loomis!

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Niners and Chiefs did that last season with WRs. A.J. Jenkins for Baldwin. Change of scenery didn't help though...

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Only if Robinson is literally afraid to tackle like Mo is.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Somebody on PFT suggested that. Why would we trade a bust making $2 million in the last year of his contract, for another bust making $4 million in the 3rd year of his contract? That would be pretty stupid.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I know last year the reason given for his struggles was that Claiborne was a much better press corner, and Dallas was playing cover-2. He was a terrible fit for that scheme.

I don't know what cover schemes Dallas runs this year though.

If its true that he's a pure press-man to man CB, then it may be worth a look.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

But for $4 million-plus? I'd rather just go with Corey White, who we know doesn't suck, than to take a chance on a guy who may not suck, but probably does.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

If we traded for him we'd only be responsible for his base salary for 13 more games, which is 1.5 million, and we could cut him if he sucks with zero cap hit in 2015.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I think they're taking a second look at Derek Cox, someone we tried out when we picked up Keenan Lewis. He's getting guaranteed money from the Chargers already....

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Is this good enough?


https://vine.co/v/O7A7MWgEtDV

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Perfect! He'd fit with the team nicely.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Cornerback Morris Claiborne skipped the Cowboys' walk-through practice and angrily left the club's Valley Ranch training facility Tuesday after being informed that Orlando Scandrick was replacing him in the starting lineup, multiple sources told ESPN.

The Cowboys could fine Claiborne for missing the practice or conduct detrimental to the team.

Claiborne's demotion came a few hours after Jerry Jones said on his weekly radio show that the third-year cornerback had not been worth the sixth pick of the 2012 in the draft, which Dallas moved up to acquire.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

^ Yeah, that's not the guy of guy we need. At least P-Rob owns his struggles and doesn't complain when he rightfully benched.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

What are you talking about? The pass blocking improved when Lelito came into the game and as for that snap, that was on Drew,
