On paper I wouldn't but
GB is a good team, at home and desperate, and Dallas is due for a let down. I could easily see it happening.

It's superstition
Since I won’t touch wood on a public internet site, I rely on conservative predictions.

me too.......
In fact, ( I gotta brag a little), my son’s (Senior) football team just made the playoffs. No one gave us a chance since we started out district 0-3. We ran the table and won our last 4 games. We are now in the playoffs baby. We don’t like anyone to pick us because when they pick against us we win.
That's pretty awesome
He’s gotta be as psyched as his dad.

oh yeah...........
In fact, we beat an undefeated team last week. We are sure playing the no-respect card. We normally have silver pants on but we wore black ones last week so I’ve been telling my son to ask to coach to let them wear those for good luck-haha. Think I’m a little superstitious?
Superstition is integral to
sports performance. Proven fact.

I probably do.........
because history, and I’m talking all the way back to Landry days, we have the tendency to play down to the competition instead of blowing teams out. I am listenening to Gil Brandt on Sirius and he says that has always been the way the Boys play.
Gil Brandt just said.........
that we have only won once at Lambeau (last year). I’m sure you already knew that, but that’s why this games scares me. I am always cautious about the competition.
This game
Makes me real nervous. That offense is very talented. This is one of the games Dallas need s to run the football. Al Harris vs Roy who do u take?

I'm gonna go out on a limb......
and take Roy cause I think he’s ready for a follow-up to the Philly game.
Romo should have a good game though
since this will be a homecoming game for him and he will again by psyched to play at Lambeau against his boyhood team.
In Romo we Trust
Good to see Barbie getting face time
I sense a career in the commentators booth, in say… 2010.
Greetings from the Humungus, the Ruler of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-A. I laugh at your puny plans.
Carp is a bad fit in the 3-4.
I never understood why Bill drafted him,maybe his dad had pictures of Bill. He will be a serviceable LB in the 4-3 IMO.
I think we passed on CB Cromartie that draft.
You can never have enough corners.

I don't know if I'd swap any of Dallas current CBs for Cromartie
He was awesome in ’07 and awful last year. He guesses a lot and gets burned a lot.

I'd swap Ball

Well
Now that I see just how cute he is, I will overlook his deficiencies when possible. Loved that little bun he was wearing.
About Skp Bayless: I think he’s lost his mind. Either that or maybe he’s got a honey who has given him an ultimatum.

Ah,the history lessons come back
Kevin Burnett was what, the 37th overall pick? And what did he do in Dallas? Became a good nickel LB after three years.
Spot a trend? Maybe the issue was Parcells and Ireland oveselling themselves on these two guys. They’re having the same careers, yet Carp gets 100x more crap than Burnett, though he took a lot of abuse too.
I think almost everyone, including me, see that first round pick and expect him to be all world.
I understand he is not a complete bust, but in light of where he was drafted, we could have done better.

If Carp gets cut...
I think there would be alot of 4-3 teams willing to give him a try. I think the Cowboys may have screwed up his head with the position changes early on.
But I think Ohio State players are overrated.
by CowboyCurtis on Nov 11, 2009 10:55 AM CST up reply actions
Since he has found a role, do we let him go?
He’s never going to be the second coming of Randy White, but he is better than a lot of players out there.
"Help, it's hot and dark in here and someone is laughing." Taco Bell
I think they offer him
nickel LB money and he can then test the market for more.

Like Burnett
He can move if he wants to start. He’ll likely never be a long-term starter here, but he might get a shot in camp somewhere else.

I think he lost his starting job
He might be the nickel LB again…but with a starter’s paycheck

hes not getting paid too much actually
I remember seeing the $$ and thinking wait we could’ve had him for that, but he wanted the starter spot
not much
I know that D has been getting worked..

they did come up big against the GMen
when it counted. I was a Charger fan at the end of that game. I can’t believe NY gave them the game.
I think NYG
beat themselves. That holding call killed them.
With Plax gone they are lack a Red zone threat..
Either way, I am glad SD stepped up..

I thought I saw that he was hurt.
Could be wrong, but if not it goes to show that our front office knew what they were doing. They wouldn’t give him starter money because they didn’t think he’d hold up for a full season inside of a 3-4.

I don't see it that way
I see a faction of the fandom that has a permanent slot or two for Cowboys to hate on.
In ’05 and ’06 it was Julius Jones and Roy Willie the safety.
After they left it was Romo, Carp, and now Roy Willie the WR.
And I’m sure that after Carp is gone, the rippers will find a new Cowboy or two to roast. My money is on Anthony Spencer.
He’s just a placeholder. The self-hating is permanent.
The one thing that does puzzle me is how carpenter is one of the most obscure role players that dallas has but
he is getting a significant amount of face time on BSPN. That is what makes me scratch my head, he is on as much as crayton, it is different for crayton because he is a starter (for the most part he has been a starter) as opposed to carpenter the nickel LB. I am not bothered by this but it is puzzling, maybe they just like talking to him.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
He won on First Take and 1st and 10 a LOT last year
I have no idea why, I bet his dad is a friend of Skip’s or something.

You response just feeds the idea that none of us know why he is on TV, other than they must like talking to him.

He's articulate
he presents well on TV. That’s a big right there.

Well maybe it's
that I am just as dumb as Carp then…

Are you guys blind
He has the face of a Hollywood movie star, but probably couldn’t act worth a nickle though. My point is he is very handsome, looks good on BSPN.

Understand, I'm not saying this about you, GunsUp
but I was at a game in August and guys in front of me were screaming at the top of their lungs, “cut him!” every time Carp made a play. And he was making plays.
There are people on other sites I have seen who admit, “I watch every play Bobby Carpenter makes every week…”
That’s not support. That’s a vendetta. Okay, he’s a disappointment. Find me a team that always, and I mean always, hits on its 1st rounders. The Cowboys have actually been good in that department compared to other teams.
The guy is contributing to a winning team. I’ll take it. He’s never play like Patrick Willis, or Keith Brooking. So be it. But he’s contributing to the wins. Call me crazy, but I’m gonna root for any Cowboy who does that.

I think some of us are still taking it a little personally.
I defended him for his first two years, and finally moved to the dark side. I am getting more comfortable with him in again, but it is a slow process for recovery in haters anonymous.

I have said it before and will do it again...
Carp is an ideal foil for Bradie James in Passing Downs…every time an opponent of ours has a 3rd and Long and i see James…i know he is gonna be exposed in coverage. I can see why people feel like Carp is not aggressive enough against the run..but his role is invaluable to our defense on passing downs.
by thejanusman on Nov 11, 2009 11:13 AM CST up reply actions
Dude has found a role and is improving into it
Maybe he can play after all.
so he’s not the next dware….so be it.
Burnett looked in the mirror and saw a starter. dallas didn’t, nor did anyone else, but burnett left b/c he would not accept the nickle role.
if carp keeps doing well in his role, why cut him? why not offer him a right-sized contract? if he is willing to accept his role and play for that role’s money, thats a good thing.
BTW
Good on carp for taking a little dig at skippy
I just feel bad for the guy
knowing he is playing out of position and should be in a 4-3 scheme.
In Romo we Trust
funny you say that.......
because usually it sounds like you’re “hating” on him as you like to say.
I've never hated on Carp
I just always pointed out he isn’t physically tough enough to be a 3-4 ILB, which he isn’t. Maybe it sounds like hating, but it isn’t.
Hating is over the top, unjust criticism, and Carp being a finesse player isn’t even a criticism but a fact.
He’s doing a good job as our nickel backer, but I think he could start on a lot of 4-3 defenses.
In Romo we Trust
hahahahaha......
I guess calling him Barbie Doll is not hating huh?. Where’s BoysFan when I need him? Why is it different whenever people criticize Romo they are called haters and you are not hating on Carp. Funny suff Terry-you made my day…..hahahaha
nah..that's just good old fashioned ribbing as you'd like to say
I heard Colombo call him that in camp last year and thought it was appropriate since he doesn’t relish contact.
Regarding Romo, the only fans I call haters are the ones over the top like Tex, who clearly have a dislike for the player or whose criticism is extremely unfair and unjust. I have no problem with Romo criticism when it’s fair, none at all.
In Romo we Trust
Shenanigans!
You have called me a hater, and I am in no way shape or form anything like Montecito Tex.
You recently wrote that anyone who mentioned the Cowboys’ annual december swoon was a hater.

that's not true at all
If I ever called you a hater, then must have been ragging on Romo for something stupid.
And I know I never wrote anything even resembling your last comment.

lol..
There will a RADIO silence after this.
In retrospect
Maybe we, and myself definitely, have been to hard on Bobby. It isn’t really fair to think all first rounders can become all pro, and he has been solid in filling in where Burnett was. Still, I hope when Williams returns he is able to take his spot and we can just cut the cord on the whole Carp experiment. I think Parcells fell in love with the whole father/son thing a little to much.
And as for who we could of had, I look at people like Davin Joesph, Santonio Holmes(would have prevented the Roy debacle), or Nick Mangold(would have kept Gurode at guard, though with both guards we probably don’t get Davis the year after) before Carp. Looking back, this draft is full of underachievers(Young, Bush, Leinart, Brick, Hawk, Huff all in the top 10 alone), and had a few bright spots(Mario, Cutler, Ngata, Bunkley, D-Will), so I am not surprised we got one of the busts of the draft.
Houston
Houston made the right pick at the time, and anyone who knows football realized that at draft time. You don’t take a QB regardless of his college skill(Sorry Vince) or one who played with top shelf talent his entire college career(sorry Matt), or a HB from the same school, when you have no offensive or defensive lines. Mario was a beast on the college level, and had all the potential to be a solid end for years, and has developed into just that. Not as much as say, a Jared Allen or any other top level DE, but still a great player.
That draft was billed as a great class.
It just shows that it’s not a science, but a wildass educated guess.
FYI
Ellis Hobbs just went on the IR for the iggles, this explains why they signed a CB from somewhere else.

I don't remember him getting hurt?
when was that?
When felix's leg accidentally collided with his head, it took him out of the game for a while, he came back
but the broadcasters were noting that he was avoiding contact. The way he took that hit it looked like it affected his neck moreso than a concussion.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
now I remember thanks.......
for some reason I thought that they were talking about Asante because didn’t he take a pretty good lick too?
i think that was Asante Samuel

That was definitely Samuel.
Didn’t see Hobbs get hurt. Maybe he strained something on his return that was called back?
Roy Hobbs?
I agree, he was great for a 30 something year old rookie ball player. Some say it was the bat he used, made from a tree struck by lightning, others said he was just a natural.

it was samuel
they focused in on him during the last drive, he wouldnt hit barber. the accouncer even suggested running right at him
It was Austin
He hurt Hobbs feelings.
