Cowboys need 'good Romo' to avoid bad outcome

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 17:41:30 +0000

Clifton Brown Tony Romo thought he was done dealing with unhappy wide receivers. Roy Williams and Romo are not clicking, and Williams is wondering why‹out loud. Not exactly what the Cowboys (5-2) needed, heading into tonight¹s showdown against the Eagles (5-2). However, locker room unrest is nothing new for the Cowboys, who are riding a three-game winning streak and playing their best football of the season. "We understand what kind of football team they are," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "We have to make sure as coaches and players that we prepare ourselves for a knockdown, drag-out fight." The answers to these five questions will help determine the outcome of this NFC East showdown: 1. Which Romo will show? The difference between the good Romo and bad Romo is dramatic. In the Cowboys' five victories, Romo has thrown for 11 touchdowns and no interceptions. In their two defeats, he has one ...

For the Dallas Cowboys and the NFC East, the Road Ahead Is All Uphill

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 15:03:23 +0000

The NFC East is boiling down to the Big Three and the Big Mess. Dallas, Philadelphia, and New York will duke it out for the Division Title, while the Redskins just duke it out. (Of course, this assumes the Giants will right their listing ship soon.) All Dallas Cowboys fans get nervous as the holidays approach and the dreaded month of December looms like a team of deranged reindeer with bloody eyes, furiously driven by a band of renegade elves. The way the 'Pokes have played in December and January in recent years makes it hard to enjoy Santa's bounty, even if it does include a wall-covering flat screen HD television. Who wants to see Wade Phillips and Jerry Jones explain and excuse all over themselves in such vivid detail, anyway? But I digress. The thing to do here is look at the schedule of the three legitimate contenders, compare them, and ask yourself, "Does my team have a snowball's chance in the hot place of getting to 10 or 11 wins and either winning the division or securing a wild ...

Cowboys vs Eagles Preview: Romo, "It's Like A Playoff Game"

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 19:58:41 +0000

Note: The quotes in this article are fictional. When these two teams last met, it was the final week of the 2008 season, with playoff implications on the line for both teams. That game ended with a 44-6 Philly win, which the Eagles rode all the way to the NFC Championship Game. This time, the stakes aren't as high, but first place in the NFC East awaits the winner. "I've got some good news and some bad news," says Tony Romo. "I'm treating this like a playoff game. That's good news for the Eagles and bad news for the Cowboys." "As for rumors of a brewing controversy over me getting each of my receivers enough touches, well, that's nothing new to me. Heck, I can't tell you how many times last year I was accused of inappropriate 'touching.' Anyway, I'm not at all like Jessica Simpson — there's not enough of me to spread around." With a win, the Eagles would not only take sole possession of first in the division, but they'd also proudly sport three consecutive wins over division opponents. "I ...

Week Nine: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 18:23:17 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night for sole place of the NFC East. The Eagles enter this game using big plays on offense to score, although they still use their screens effectively, and Westbrook is still a big part of the offense. Donovan Mcnabb comes into this game 80-133 for 1008 yards, nine TDs, and one interception. His big play threats include DeSean Jackson, who has 20 catches for 501 yards, and four TD's. Every one of Jackson's TDs have been on receptions of 50 yards, or more. Jackson is also a run threat on reverses and in the kicking game. Running back Brain Westbrook will play in Sunday night's game after missing last week's game against the Giants with post concussion syndrome. Backup LeSean McCoy still gets a chunk of the carries in Sunday night's game. McCoy is the team's leading rusher with 71 carries for 294 yards, and two TDs, including a 66-yard TD run last weekend against the Giants. The Eagles love to blitz, and they'll do a lot of it in ...

Roster moves loom; Horton 'tweaks' knee

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 21:12:33 +0000

Another day, another injury, another corresponding roster move on the horizon. And a new twist - a bit of uncertainty surrounding safety Chris Horton. First, the injury: punter Hunter Smith aggravated his lingering groin injury in practice Wednesday and will be inactive this week at Atlanta. Touted as one of the team's most important offseason additions, Smith's future seems a bit murkier than it did just a week ago. After missing two games with a groin injury, Smith returned to punt against Philadelphia. His status for the rest of the season is apparently up in the air. "I don't want to put down Hunter because he's healing," Zorn said. "I don't want to put him down right now." The team worked out two punters today and plan to sign Sam Paulescu, a former Oregon State punter who was with Dallas as an undrafted free agent in 2007 and again last

Week 9 picks: Eagles, Cowboys battle for NFC East lead

Donovan McNabb knows how to duck pressure and avoid interceptions. It's strange, but considering all the hype around Brett Favre going through the NFC North again and the New Orleans Saints marching their way to an undefeated first half, the NFC East has stayed in the background for two months. That's about to change, however, as the latest battle for supremacy in the conference's marquee division features two of league's best all-around teams.

Game within the Game: Better Have a Double-Move

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 01:51:33 +0000

Want to know if Garrett is truly a red-headed genius? This week's matchup against the Eagles' Asante Samuel will be an indicator. A stock route the Cowboys love to run is the simple comeback or curl route. The curl route has the receiver run what looks like a go, straight up the sideline 10-15 (or whatever predetermined depth). They then curl and comeback toward the quarterback. The Cowboys like to have their receiver curl toward the sideline. This route has been the bread and butter of a lot of Miles Austin's success of late (see the Chiefs and Falcons games). You better believe the ball-hawking Samuel knows this. Look for Samuel to be eager to jump this route at the slightest hint of a shoulder flinch from Austin. It will be interesting to see if the Cowboys anticipate this and incorporate some type of double-move to counteract and exploit Samuel's aggressiveness. The Cowboys could utilize a stop n' go route which can get Samuel to bite on the initial move. Austin (or name ...

Just How Good Are Tony Romo and Miles Austin?

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 22:27:38 +0000

The Romo-to-Austin connection is only a few weeks old, but it is already taking its toll on the NFL. The Cowboys are 3-0 with Miles Austin as a starter and Tony Romo hasn't thrown an interception in that time. But just how good are they? Miles Austin is 10th in the NFL in receiving yards with 563, which is amazing considering that 482 of those yards came in his only three starts. He's also in a five-way tie for second-most receiving touchdowns with 6, trailing Vernon Davis by just one touchdown. And along with Donald Driver, Hines Ward and Reggie Wayne, he has ten catches for 20+ yards, which leads the NFL. The connection has also helped propel Tony Romo to the top of the league. Like Austin, he's tied for 10th in the NFL in passing with 1,908 yards. That's on pace for a 4,000+ yard season. His QB rating of 96.8 puts him at 9th in the league, and despite being known for turning the ball over too much, his four interceptions put him among the ranks of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Phillip ...

Sorry, ESPN: This Cowboys Team Won't Become the Circus You Want It To Be

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 21:21:54 +0000

Tim McMahon of the newly formed ESPNDallas.com wrote an article today on how Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams is not on the same page as quarterback Tony Romo. Now this is obvious to anyone with a pulse, but you can be sure ESPN will beat this dead horse into the ground. ESPN's problem is the Cowboys are playing well, and, for the first time in a few years, there is little to no controversy within the organization. That doesn't bode well for ESPN ratings. ESPN likes to create news instead of reporting it, especially when it comes to America's team. The difference is this year's Cowboys team is going to have nothing of it. The Cowboys probably got rid of 75 percent of ESPN's articles written on them when they released Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, and Tank Johnson. And even with those types of players, they still felt the need to manufacture stories . Take, for example, the following quote in McMahon's article. "He gets the ball thrown correctly his way," Williams said of ...

Win or Lose, Cowboys Will Make a Statement This Sunday Against Eagles

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 18:45:10 +0000

On Sunday night the Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles for first place in the NFC East. Things are looking good right now; the Cowboys are riding high on a three-game winning streak, Wade Phillips has job security, Miles Austin is catching everything, Tony Romo looks like the QB everyone thought he was, and the Cowboys have no significant injuries. Basically things are great in Dallas, but on Sunday night they'll make their biggest statement of the season whether they win or lose. The Cowboys have beaten up on some bad teams this season. With the exception of the Falcons, the combined record of the other four teams the Cowboys beat is 6-22. Yes, they lost to the Giants by three and Broncos by seven, and they're both good teams. So what? No one ever went to the playoffs losing to good teams. If the Cowboys win, it'll be their biggest of the season and will show they're past last season's 44-6 embarrassment at Lincoln Financial Field. It'll also show that the Cowboys are finally ...

These elevators are going through the roof

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 05:49:05 +0000

From undrafted free agent to Cowboys star: Miles Austin is a rising talent and yeet to reach his ceiling. Miles Austin overcame big odds to become a big-play threat for the Dallas Cowboys. He was an undrafted free agent from Monmouth (N.J.) University, who battled just to make the Cowboys roster in 2006. Entering this season, Austin had caught 18 passes in three years, and he was behind Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton on the depth chart. Yet, Austin continued to be one of the Cowboys' hardest workers, a trait owner Jerry Jones admired. "You can't outwork Miles Austin," Jones told Sporting News last month, after the Cowboys' victory against the Falcons. "He's strong, can break tackles and can really stretch the field. Sometimes guys who aren't the top draft choices make a huge impact. They're hungry." Austin has feasted on opponents with a spectacular three-game stretch — 21 catches for 482 yards and five touchdowns. It is no coincidence ...
