great stuff as always.

interesting that he thinks Holmgren is gonna to go after TNew. I can see TNew being considered a weakness just looking at his ypa, but there’s some context to the metrics, namely he hasn’t been healthy in most of the games he’s played in. Although he’s still complaining of lingering groin problems now, when shadowing Moss two weeks ago he was able to hold him to 5 catches for 29 yards out of 11 targets to Moss, and he was widely credited as being the crux of a much improved defense by being able to take Moss out of the game one-on-one thus freeing up a safety to help stop Portis. Assuming TNew was covering Moss for all those targets, that’s a 2.6 ypa for that game. plus an INT. The difference of course was that he was feeling fully healthy, although the scheme could have played into it as well, since he may be stronger at press/man coverage and it was the first time he played it throughout a game all season. So I just wonder if Holmgren would look at his metrics over the season and attack him as the weak spot, or look at his more recent and healthy performance against the Skins and avoid him since he basically shut down a top receiving threat.

I guess we’ll see Thursday! I hope his groin is healing and he’ll be okay on this short week. gotta give him credit for playing through it, but I hope he doesn’t keep re-aggravating it so it lingers into December and January…

I was super stoked. I asked who on the team had the hottest girlfriend. Martellus said Tank did and Folk chimed in with Romo.

1. Tank? Of all people?
2. Yes, Nick Folk was on Inside the Huddle. Great star quality.

As a bonus Dallas faces the poorest pair of starting DT they will face this year. Rocky Bernard and Brandon Mebane are below average NFL starters.

As KC said, who ever mans the OG spot this week will have their easiest start of the remaining season.

KC also said TNew had a horrendous game against SF.. Funny, because all I saw was Henry getting toasted…guess I missed the TNew toasting.

Key, who said Holland was slower?

I know we like to blame Roy #38 former #31 for his lack of coverage skills in the secondary, and I agree he has been pretty bad. But I’m not sure that I’m ready to throw Roy to the wolves just yet. I mean he’s only 28 years old. I think Roy’s downfall has been the lack of consistent play from any Free Safety since Woody. This hasn’t allowed Roy to play closer to the line which has been his bread n butter.

I compared some of Roy’s stats to Troy Polamalu’s and their not that different. The main difference is Polamalu has always played on a defense with a consistent FS and Pass Rush. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Roy is better than Polamalu.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I think Roy has a few more good years left in him. However, does anyone else think he would benefit tremendously by dropping 10 or 12 Pounds !?
