Dallas Cowboys news & notes

by Dave Halprin on Oct 1, 2008 11:20 AM CDT in News Comment 12 comments

Not a lot of time today for me to write-up anything so I'll just pass along some articles you might be interested in reading.

The Cowboys are doing the smart thing by nipping in the bud any potential problems with Adam Jones' reinstatement. According to the Star-T, Jerry Jones has stepped in and asked AJ to tone down his profile which has gotten a little too visible lately for the Cowboys' liking.

Hat tip to Mullin who first posted this news.

With Mike Jefferson suspended for four weeks off the practice squad, the Cowboys added former Cleveland WR Travis Wilson.

Carson Palmer is still questionable for Sunday's game. Visit Cincy Jungle for all news on the Bengals. Like the fact that they just signed RB Cedric Benson. Also, the report is that Chris Henry will be playing this Sunday.

After Shawn Springs did some good work on T.O. in the loss to the Redskins, he stayed the night at T.O.'s house. That must have been interesting but Springs says they didn't talk much about the game and just watched some of the Chicago/Philly game.

T.O. denies all and is pretty funny in doing it. "Sheshawn" Now that's funny. More on T.O. from Nick Eatman.

Hat tip silverblue5 for first posting this item.

JJT says Romo must play better even though he's playing well.

Anybody know anything about Wilson?

I looked at the Browns link above and he didn’t get any playing time last year and was kind of curious why, as he got time in his rookie year.

Travis Wilson = Local Boy

He went to my high school in Carrollton, TX which is like 20 minutes from Texas Stadium. Hopefully he will have extra motivation to get on his own home team!

leading reciever in the 3rd preseason game;.....

looked at everything I could find on the net 6’ 1" 200+ not great speed seems like kind of a posession type of reciever if he makes it at all, #3 at best the way it sounds I would not expect anything great, We have Hurd and Crayton who fit the same mold……just a PS Body.

I wikipedia-ed him...

not worthless, but not worth while…
Denver had him for a month after the Brownies dropped him. Was Lowber really that bad? I guess this guys at least played football before…

yeah

romo has to play better. that pick he threw really killed our momentum. but then again he wouldn’t have so much pressure on him if we would just RUN THE BALL MORE….

That pick

was the key moment of the game, in my opinion.

agreed

He needs utilitize the dump off. He barely ever looks in the flat.

If you want to check out of the run that is fine, but if nothing is going on, dump it OFF.

+1

Just like Aikman used to dump it off to Emmitt or Moose, Romo can make something out of nothing by dumping it off to MB3, El Gato, or Cricket. Man I wish the Cowboys could incorporate the screen pass into the offense. So many options…
