Dallas Cowboys random articles

Mickey Spags gives his thoughts on OTA’s in general and this past week’s at Valley Ranch. Not a whole lot new in there but some fun reading anyway.

If Pacman is reinstated, our secondary is going to be very deep. DC.com checks it out.

"It's still early, but as far as talent-wise I'd say you're hard-pressed to find a better-talented secondary in the league," Newman said. "Talent-wise, not going out and playing right now. But as far as just athletic ability, we've got tops in the league for sure."

I can’t help but get excited about the idea that our pass defense might actually be a strength. The Cowboys added stability to that secondary by extending Terence Newman, and it turns out that age wasn’t factor in the decision .

Check it out, T.O. was asked to be on Dancing with the Stars before Jason Taylor. but turned it down.

it turns out age wasn't a factor

in Newman’s contract negotiations. Huh….I think BoyzFan94 should read that article as he was under the impression Newman is an “aging” CB. LOL!

Hey, Tom, don’t you love getting the last laugh? ;)

How sweet it is

I’m not one say I told you so, but in this case I’ll make an exception. Although in fairness, he did admit he was wrong after the signing.

T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003

And Newman said he would have actually signed for less money....guess he's got the last laugh..

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."

I remember Stephen Jones saying

that they were always impressed with what good shape Newman stays in. That would have been the tipper.

I really thought MBIII would go the path of Romo, but I was definitely off on that one…

Romo also got a 67 million dollar contract

I think he meant proving himself as a starter first

We don't have a "feature back"

we run a platoon system, and that is not going to change any time soon. Barber has proved himself as an elite platoon back, and that is all he needed to do to get a big contract.

No, Barber is the feature back

We have Felix as a change of pace, gadget play type RB, but for that kind of money Barber will get 20+ carries every game.

U don’t get that type of money to be apart of a Platoon..

that won't happen

Cowboys coaches can’t be that stupid to give the ball to MB3 20+ times a game. If they want to make a deep playoff run, MB3 will be limited to 12-15 touches per game, just like last season. Otherwise, he’ll be burned out by December.

If that wasn’t the case, there is no way the Cowboys take Jones with the 1st pick.

I see barber averaging around 17 carries a game

with Felix averaging around 10.

by quincyyyyy on May 23, 2008 3:58 PM CDT up reply actions

I'm sure he'll get between 15-25 carries per game....depending on the situation....

but on average…..he’ll get about 15-18…..He will NOT average over 20 carries a game…

Correct

I disagree

If you look at 06 With Deuce and Reggie.. Duece was averaging 20-21 carriers a game and Reggie was still getting his 10. I expect to see same thing here.
