    What IS that something?

    Truthfully that something they are talking about had been brewing for three years. We would have seen it quicker if not for the devastating injuries in 2013. They have been slowly and meticulously been building this team and instilling a specific culture of competition, hard work, preparation...

    Okay Dez, now that you have your contract...

    When you double team a player you are telling the quarterback "not here, go somewhere else." And Doomsday is absolutely correct when you consider the clock. Our defense is going to stop Aaron Rodgers? He had already passed for 300 yards and 3 TD's. All season long the Cowboys have won by...

    Okay Dez, now that you have your contract...

    Okay, this is a fact. If you doubt it then I'll find the data. 1 yard to go is extremely different than 2 yards to go. The probability it will be a run increases dramatically. A run is almost a given. If it had been a 1 yard play then Murray would have been there, it would have been a run. 2...

    Tim Brown says Michael Irvin didn’t want him as a Cowboys’ teammate

    I sometimes wonder how things would have gone if Jerry Jones hadn't played hardball with Jimmy Smith. Smith was the Cowboy's 2nd round draft pick in the 1992 draft. He was 36th overall, Darren Woodsen was 37th overall. Anyway, he developed appendicitis and missed the entire season in 1993...

    Randy Gregory on past mistakes: 'I dug my own grave'

    Yeah, I caught that too. Not good.

    Okay Dez, now that you have your contract...

    Well, yes, I'm excluding plays that were for 1 yard because it was a play fort 2 yards. I'm also excluding plays for 3 yards. And only 5 of those plays were in the red zone. Those were not all successful, Romo was sacked on 3rd and 2 on the Philadelphia 5. It was bad enough to throw the long...

    Anyone else see a possible 2-3 or even a 1-4 start to the 2015 season?

    No sir. Not once has Emmitt ever carried the ball more than 300 times and exceeded Murray's 4.71 last season. Emmitt had an average of 5.25 yards per carry in 1993 when he carried the ball 283 times....pretty close to Murray's average of 5.17 in 2013. Emmitt has never exceeded Murray's average...

    Anyone else see a possible 2-3 or even a 1-4 start to the 2015 season?

    I love Emmitt but he has shown a tendency towards pettiness on occasion. I wonder if he realizes that his statement implies that our new offensive line is already far better then the one he ran behind. Follow the logic: Demarcus left all this meat on the bone and still broke Emmitt's record...

    Okay Dez, now that you have your contract...

    Last season the Cowboys had 17 plays that were 3rd or 4th and 2. When they ran the ball they made a 1st down 100% of the time, averaging 5 yards a carry. The majority of the runs happened late in the 4th quarter with less than 6 minutes to play. Every completion they made in this situation...

    Okay Dez, now that you have your contract...

    Dez has had more than one last-play, win-lose reception that was thissss close. Remember the "three fingers out of bounds" non-catch? But then it is very easy for someone to defend him by simply suggesting, "Well, then maybe you just don't want him to bother trying. Nobody else would have this...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    By the way, the media photo shots of the "Catch" include Clark's defender, Everson Walls, a rookie free agent that season (12 round draft) that had just broken the Cowboy record for most INT's in a regular season. In that particular NFC championship game, he had 2 INT's and a recovered fumble .

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Love Charlie, but...... 9 INT's.....in 25 playoff games....5 of them in two games, a 37-7 first round molestation of the Bears in 1977 which they led 34-0 after three quarters and a 28-0 shutout of the Rams in the 78 NFC championship game in which their quarterbacks, Vince Ferragamo and Pat...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Interesting. Of course, not as interesting as the sight of Tom Brady going back to pass under the same rules and conditions as Griese in the mid 70's........including a season ending injury in their 5th game of the undefeated 1972 season. Deacon Jones broke his leg and dislocated his ankle...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Prior to the snap, Romi tries to set up his blocking as best he can right up to the last second. Quite often he just manages to get the play off. Now give him a 30 second clock instead of 45. That gives him just enough time to get to the line, scan the defense for a split second, and do the...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    I just demonstrated statistically that the rule changes are precisely why the passer ratings have improved, I can't spell it out any simpler. There is no debate. When there was no such thing as "in the grasp", when the whistle would only blow when the quarterback was at a 180 degree angle while...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    Sorry guys, I was dealt an issue that I had to spend a great deal of time resolving. I'll give the spoiler because I'm not going to have a great deal of recreational time over the next couple of weeks. Number 7 and number 3 is number 88. As far as deciding who was #1 and #2? I just couldn't...
