I thought he was going to shut up this year?

#Cowboys DC Rob Ryan not feeling good about NT Jay Ratliff playing Thursday against #Washington.

stunning...another injured player likely to miss a game

#Cowboys safety Charlie Peprah said he still has one more concussion test to pass to get cleared to play Thursday against Washington.



We are a fucking mash unit.

Win this game and get guys healthy with a 10 day break, please.

Another great extension.

WR Kevin Ogletree has been ruled out for Thursday's game with a concussion he suffered last Sunday.


That's actually good news.

Harris scores 138 points and we then re-sign Ogletree to a 3 year deal

Shocking @PFF stat of the week: Tony Romo led all QBs (by far) w 59 dropbacks last week. He used play action on NONE of them. #Cowboys

Gimme Beasley or give me death.

While I don't find our Injuries totally unfair, I haven't gone into a game this year thinking "oh nice, X is out for our opposition, that helps".

Unless RuthlessRAPER misses our game, which could be the difference in us hosting a playoff game and missing the playoffs

Can we move Ratliff to DE after the season now? It's been obvious for the last two seasons that he's too light and injury prone to be a 3-4 NT.

Well he did use play action on the 4th down play to Vickers.

Playaction works when theres a threat of a run.

Since we can't run, there's no point in playaction. The defenders don't bite. Instead, it wastes a split second that Tony Romo can't afford to lose on account of how poor the Oline is.

Well play action usually helps an offensive line pass protect because the pass rushers have to account for the run...well if they follow the Zimmer “Read and React” philosophy. The sad fact is even with this advantage, they still can’t hold their blocks longer.

I would like to see more of those delayed draws they used against Philly. I know that worked against the wide 9 but it could work against aggressive lineman getting up field.

One thing i can’t figure out is why this team doesn’t run more screens. I thought after losing all those big fat lineman and getting trimmer faster ones that the Cowboys would be effective running those plays.

Where is the creativity and innovation with Garrett? He has those plays in his playbook, wish he would use them.

Yeah, the line doesnt pass block OR run block well at all, so pass rushers are getting into the backfield so quickly they don't need to slow down to account for anything.

Our interior lineman lack the mobility to get down field and block.

Which means we are going to lose. Whenever that fat ass opens his mouth, we lose. Why haven't they figured this out yet?

No because we're breaking new ground.

We have the first owner/GM.
We have the first Ivy League HC.
And we have an undersized NT.
