Dallas Cowboys random articles

Tony Romo needs to go to charm school and work on his posture.

The Eagles have Dallas on the brain.

With McNabb sidelined, Kolb has enjoyed the opportunity to work with the first-team offense. He looked sharp in doing so yesterday as the scout teams gave the starters a look at the Dallas Cowboys' offensive and defensive schemes.

Here’s a detailed article about former Cowboy Ryan Fowler’s steroids issue.

The allure of the Cowboys is too much to resist, even for a Philly scout.

“I hated the Eagles as a kid,” he said. “That's the truth. I hated the Eagles only because I was a big Dallas Cowboys fan ... as a kid. And that was only because they had my favorite player, Tony Dorsett.”

The Moose is being inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

Everybody is getting a big kick out of Jerry Jones’ recent comments on the cost of Jerry World.

Romo and Garrett on Tony's posture

In Tony’s two part interview with Mickey et al that DC Fanatic posted in fan shots he talked about the posture/footwork issue at length. Its unclear whether it was him or Garrett that saw it when watching tape of Brady last season but its neither here nor there. the fact that they did see it, were looking for areas to improve after an amazing season and are doing the work to improve are all very good signs for the Cowboys.

One of the reasons that Brady seemed to have an inordinate amount of time last year was that he never collapsed the pocket on himself by creeping forward towards the center/guards. He stood up very straight in the pocket and when he moved his reads would almost be seeming to jump back to keep himself in the ideal location (and to combat the natural tendency to creep forward to set for a throw). Obviously if the Boys can get Romo to even have 80% of the time Brady had last season it’ll be a very impressive season offensively for the Boys.

i thought about this too

this “posture” thing seems to be the same thing Romo was talking about, the ability like Brady to “stand tall” in the pocket so he can go through the reads without moving forward in the pocket, and still be able to get the leverage to make the throws downfield without having to step into it for leverage.

Samuel's a safety now?

Did anyone notice at the bottom of the McNab tendenitis story that it said SAFETY Assante Samuel had a pulled hammy? Was ths a typo or did they switch Samuel to FS?

The greatest two yard run ever!
