    Graziano: DeMarcus Ware versus the read-option

    They pummeled San Francisco with Bryant just weeks earlier. The 4-3 by its nature is best suited to stopping the read-option. The DE attacks his gap whether it's a run or a pass, removing all hesitation. However he penetrates, either by quickness or power, his job is to disrupt the running...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    And the average distance targeted should be more like 2006 than 2007. Targeting as deep as 2007 puts more stress on Romo and the pass protectors alike. Each missed throw also makes it harder on the defense. A proper mix of passes combined with runs can make an offense really hard to stop...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    Y'know what, I wasn't thrilled with Romo during that Pittsburgh game. But this is the kind of crap I really can't stand: 1:17 left in the 1st quarter 1st and 10 at DAL 46 T.Romo pass short middle to T.Choice to PIT 42 for 12 yards (J.Harrison; J.Farrior). 1st and 10 at PIT 42 T.Choice...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    That game is a good example of Romo not being good enough to keep making deep throws. Ben's arm was the difference in that game as it was windy and cold and Romo does not do well in those games. The Cowboys defense had 5 sacks in the first half and none in the second. I agree Romo blew it...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    Ace, that was an awesome play to overcome what had been a bad game. After that game you could see Bryant's game step up, but before Romo had gotten little help from his receivers. One on one he counted on Bryant and Austin to contest plays and instead they gave up picks. Romo's fault for poor...

    NFL Head Coach Power Rankings: Garrett #18

    It's a sad state of affairs when Jason Garrett is the 18th best coach in the league.

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    Rodgers is superior to anyone playing the position, and his GM and coaches have crafted their entire football team based on their QB's skills. The Packers play multiple receiver sets mixed with plenty short patterns. If protection isn't there there's always a place to go with the football...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    Romo threw an awesome pass to Bryant and his pinky lands out of bounds. Romo has plenty of time against Washington and as he gets blitzed his own OL screens off his view of the dropping LB. Whatever motivated his OG to let a blitzer by and pursue a dropping LB is beyond me. He gets beat by an...

    Tony Romo: This is one of the most complete teams I’ve been around

    You have nailed the situation exactly. What has this guy really done to have earned his current position? Graduated from Princeton? It's silly, really.

    Sports Illustrated : Ranking the NFL's Top Tight End Duos

    Gronkowski has sick skills, but injuries are becoming a serious problem for him. The amazing things about Witten are his consistency and ability to keep learning. What discourages most fans is his lumbering running style, but that style disguises a gait that allows Witten to get behind...

    Cowlishaw on Tony Romo not making players' top 100 poll

    Yeah Dennis Pitta is a better player than Tony Romo. Go F yourselves NFLN.

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    The only reason they had the opportunity to become great is because the Giants defense held New England to 14 points and James Harrison ran a ball for a 100 yard TD with no time left in the 1st half. You need the opportunity, and Romo has to do everything for the Cowboys in "crunch time". You...

    Sullybaldhead predicts 12-4 this year...

    Especially relevant when the starters were drafted in 2005, 2006, and 2007 making this the DL's 9th, 8th, and 7th seasons respectively and the key to the middle is undersized and has a bad injury history and is probably facing suspension. I actually like the depth at DE, even Wilber. But DT is...

    NFL Head Coach Power Rankings: Garrett #18

    Agreed. Is there any reason why Garrett should be ranked anything higher than 25? IMO he's probably even behind some of the guys coming in new. The only reason he's over 20 is because Troy Aikman likes him. I can't think of another reason. No innovation, little to no discipline, terrible...

    Romo at #76 In PFT's Top 100

    He's 5th all time QB passer rating is not an accident. He DOES need a running game. He does need blocking. The last time he got blocking in 2007 he could have been in the running for MVP. He could also use a defense that can actually stop the other team consistently. Brees, Rodgers...

    Archer: Position, not number, matters to Tyrone Crawford

    LDE is the natural position for this guy and he'll step right in for Spencer once he's gone.

    Why do white people care about changing the name of the redskins so bad

    The term refers to the bloody scalp of a native American taken as evidence of a kill for money. The scalps of men, women, and children were accepted, so yeah it was genocide. It was nothing to do with the color of skin, but of blood. You might as well name the team the "Washington Gas Chambers"

    DeMarcus Ware says the new defense under Kiffin will make him, Cowboys more effective

    The read-option destroyed 3-4 defenses last year. It puts pressure on the 3-4 OLB's and keeps them out of the backfield by making them hesitate. The same player in a 4-3 penetrates and disrupts while the linebacker and safeties flow to the ball and make the tackle. I like Ware penetrating and...
