Cowboys Week 3

Ok, week 3 is in the books. There are still some question marks, but there are some answers too. This offense is the real deal. They laid 34 points on perhaps the stinkiest defense in the league. Romo is for real and TO and Witten are having Pro Bowl seasons. I hope Crayton gets back healthy and in a groove soon. The big concerns for this offense right now are Julius Jones and that 2 receiver spot.

Julius is just not a good back. It appears that we have 2 third down backs. I agree we have to just keep doing what we're doing because we are winning right now. I don't think starting Barber is the answer. I like him coming in fresh and running over people hard. But, Jones is not the starting answer either. I also don't know if we can go all the way with this running back situation. We can make it through the NFC perhaps, but not win a Super Bowl until we can establish the run in the opening series of a game.

Also, there is still a void with Terry Glenn out. We aren't sure if he'll be back at all this season, but we sure do need his presence. If we are going to be in games against New England (in two weeks), we need all of our weapons, and it is looking bleak for Glenn to return anytime soon.
The Cowboys defense basically had a by this week. At least its another week to get healthy. St. Louis is next week, and they are bad, but still have a lot of offensive weapons, and then we have New England. The defense is getting better though...let's just hope it holds true to the games against better offenses.

The Skins lost to the Giants, so the NFC East is already beginning to get jumbled. I don't know if there is another conference where the underdog wins more games than the NFC East. And Philly looked dominant in their ugly throwback jersey win.

Stat of the week: Barber 15 carries, 102 yds, 1 TD when the Bears gave up only 16 carries for 55 yds to Larry Johnson and 17 carries for 25 yds to LaDainian Tomlinson who are suppose to be the top 2 backs in the league.
