    The Great Trade Robbery: Herschel Walker Trade 25 Years Ago

    "What anniversary is this one?" (Laughing) "They're always having some kind of anniversaries down there. (Dallas) ... I guess because they don't go to Super Bowls anymore." -- Jimmy Johnson

    Who you got? week 6

    My biggest issue is I never know which of the crew is going to be settling the bets in vBookie so, I tried to clarify the deal by putting the +4 stuff on the team bets. That changed nothing about this, it only serves to (hopefully) clarify it for when it's time to settle this one. Might make it...

    NFL Week #6: TNF | Dallas Cowboys (4-1) @ Seattle Seahawks (4-1)

    I think they have a chance too and I've even picked them to win. This is week 6. The game is not important in the larger scheme. I don't see the point in showing them what they might be facing come playoff time, if we get there. Just play our game we have been playing, let's see how they do...

    Coach Jones says McClain will play vs Seahawks

    We need him good in December, January, February maybe, not really in week 6. You keep playing him hurt, you're not going to have him strong in the later months. This groin thing will be a continuing issue and he won't be 100% when you really need him. On the other hand, if he is faking it losing...

    Who you got? week 6

    You can bet all three options. You're not limited to one choice. But that's right. This particular bet is really about, "Can Dallas keep it close." If they do and you have picked the third option (which pays 10-1) you win the bet, and 10 times what you wagered, for taking on this risk. If you...

    Goose: How Cowboys are following Seattle blueprint

    The blinding SPEED of the younger teams forced the rest of the league to go youth. The old guys just can't run and don't have the stamina.

    Coach Jones says McClain will play vs Seahawks

    That's why I say, sideline him for a couple of weeks, let the "soft tissue injury" heal instead of aggravating it over and over. You'd be surprised how this little injury bug disappears not only from that one player, but from the rest of the team as well. The asthma field is over there ------>...

    Who you got? week 6

    That's much more complicated than what we've done in the past. In the past, the winning bet is the winning team, point spread isn't considered. The odds are set by who's favored. The TIE option has always been there and always been a higher odds number because of the rarity of ties in the NFL...

    Coach Jones says McClain will play vs Seahawks

    Or at the very least, never fail to ask him about his sexual assault lawsuit. Might discourage him from flapping to the press.

    How much credit should Callahan receive for improved run game?

    Next week locally we have a real treat, two HS teams - one runs the wing T, the other is full on air raid - are playing a district game. What a study in contrasts that will be. Both teams very good at what they do.

    Who you got? week 6

    That's for when whoever settles the bets in vBookie, they can more easily pick the correct outcome. If it is a 3 point or under spread the third bet wins, no matter who actually won the game. Hoping I don't see let's say, Seattle winning by 2 then someone calls the "Seattle wins" bet the...

    How much credit should Callahan receive for improved run game?

    Dude I came up in the split T. Have played it alot and coached it. It's making a comeback today as we're starting to see it alot more in the HS and college levels. It's artistry in motion, but it has a very simple hat on hat blocking scheme. The key to it is the "splits" between the linemen, for...

    How much credit should Callahan receive for improved run game?

    I'm more traditional and like the man scheme too but it has its disadvantages, number one being the complexity compared to the much simpler zone scheme. But yeah when your talent is suspect you can play the zone scheme and get results. Not so much, with the man scheme. Nice thing about the...

    How much credit should Callahan receive for improved run game?

    Nothing "wrong" with it, no. It's just much more intricate and complex, harder to teach and execute, easier to make mistakes in. Zone was invented to make up for talent deficiency in the o-line. It became a scheme all its own and most of these young guys coming out of college are well versed in...

    Rest him. Hold him out. You don't need to win this game.

    How much credit should Callahan receive for improved run game?

    Plus installing a more modern blocking scheme these young linemen are already very familiar with helps too, ditching the Byzantine one we've been using. I credit Tony's early back problems, as the main reason Dallas now runs the ball however.

    NFL Week #6: TNF | Dallas Cowboys (4-1) @ Seattle Seahawks (4-1)

    I lean towards staying pretty vanilla, I might get laughed at for saying this but, save any "gotcha" stuff you have for Seattle, for the playoffs bub. This game doesn't really count.
