Cowboys Week 9

Well, the boys come off their bye and roll over the Eagles 38-17. Romo has his contract and continues to carry himself as a "humble celebrity." Oh, I have no doubt that he's a competitor, and I don't mean the humble celebrity thing in a negative way. What I mean by humble celebrity is that he takes his contract, does his thing, pushed for TO to have a huge game over his former team and the fans that ran him out of town. If there's a most valuable trait that Romo has, it's that he's treating TO the way a QB needs to treat him to get the most out of him, and I love it!

We saw a very equal performance by the two RBs. I see them letting Jones go next season and resigning Barber to a decent contract and drafting someone to share the load with him, but we'll see. The secondary did their job again as they continue to get healthy for the playoffs. Hamlin and Henry each had an INT, and over half of McNabb's completions when to Westbrook out of the backfield, so coverage downfield was good. Roy made 5 tackles but I swear I continue to see him lay a shoulder on guys instead of tackling them. More and more often, they are bouncing off that shoulder and someone else has to make the tackle.

We have a big test this coming week when we have to go to the Giants after their bye and a 6 game winning streak. Matchup of the week will be Plexiglass v. the Dallas secondary. Playoffs are nearly a sure thing, but we want home field advantage because I don't want to see us have to go to New York or Green Bay for a game.



Stat of the week: Terrell Owens- 10 catches, 174 yds, 1 TD
All Eagle WRs combined- 10 catches, 134 yds, 1 TD
