It was clear that Garrett couldn't get it done as being HC and OC at the same time. Maybe he'll manage to get it done as HC. It is a tough business and a tough assignment that is made even tougher by the Jerry-factor.

The Cowboys drafted a project in the 2nd round. Escobar is a project. He lacks sufficient strength to fill his projected role. He needs another off-season to get strong enough. We won't know if he's good enough until next year. He had a good catch this week in practice. It'd be better...

Dunbar is playing quicker now. He doesn't run with much power, that's true, but the thing that is impressive is that he can absorb tackles from the big guys. That is, he doesn't seem to be as breakable as one would expect of a small guy. I wasn't impressed with him before, but last night I...

I think you are correct about the OL, dbair. They should be significantly better this year.

I didn't get a bad feeling about the game because I focused on how the players are playing (as you mentioned in paragraph 1). As for Garrett's new role -- This is exactly what Jerry was trying to avoid when Jerry went on the "my head coach must be a coordinator" kick (with Wade and then...

Random observations regarding the game: 1. Alex Barron is back in the league? Andre Gurode is still in the league? Michael Jenkins is playing hard? 2. Sean Lee's hit on the QB, causing the fumble, was impressive. I didn't know he could hit that hard. 3. The drive with Romo that ended...

yeah, I think you are right.

Dunbar is more impressive than I remember. He really surprised me on the play that drew a double penalty. He's playing very fast.

hmm

bailey.is money

offense looks a little ugly

great turnover by Lee and D

In 2007 and 2009 TNew made the Pro Bowl. Many thought that he deserved another one or two Pro Bowls right around the same time. Henry had a hard time staying healthy. That was his main problem.

That's true. TNew was also really good for a little while there too.

Given what we know of Livings and Arkin, trusting in Curtain #3 doesn't seem like a bad idea. (yeah, it is a sad commentary)

That's interesting stuff. I'm right with you .... I don't know much about Saturday, but I think Fredrick is very promising. He's already making line calls ... and that's something that Gurode apparently never got straight.

Yeah, that's a good point. Kitna was a very decent backup QB, but he didn't make the Romo-less season particularly successful or watchable. I guess if Romo were knocked out for only a limited number of couple of games, the expenditure would seem more worth it.

Jadeveon Clowney makes some truly remarkable plays from time to time. But of course he's not a pet cat. He's a man-beast. The Cowboys would have to lose what, 13 to 14 games, to have a chance of drafting him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8q3Whn2ivI

I think the Cowboys had no choice but to replace TNew, so I understand the Carr signing. TNew had gotten so bad that the defense simply was not viable with him. I agree that Carr is not a shut down corner, but given the current NFL rules, it is next to impossible for any player to be a shut...

I know that the NFL Network is scheduled to replay the Dallas v. Oakland game ... maybe the replay will show the entire game. Out here in the Eastern Time Zone, it isn't in the cards for me to stay up to watch the game live. I'll record it tonight and watch it tomorrow.
