Igor = strong like bull.

I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

wow, he did abuse that NO tackle

Yeah, he's got much better leverage than Canty offered the line.

by Aaron Novinger on Dec 23, 2009 10:46 AM CST up reply actions

definitely a really strong dude

If you look at that play, it wasn't much different than what Ware did...

The tackle backs into his own man (RB coming out of backfield) … which is what caused him to lose his balance. I’m not saying it wasn’t a bit of domination, but you can’t give all the credit to Olshansky.

it is amazing how overrated that guy was

Dallas D-line is very under-rated

I think it is one of the best in the league. In my homerized opinion, it is the best.

by elharpo on Dec 23, 2009 4:09 PM CST up reply actions

Maybe the best 3-4 D-line

by Joon on Dec 25, 2009 4:17 AM CST up reply actions

Is Romo becoming the best QB in the league?

A top WR does a lot for a QB, now if we can get RW to play we can go far.

How bout dem Frogs!!!!

by DIRE WOLF on Dec 23, 2009 11:08 AM CST reply actions

speaking of RW

I started him over Greg Jennings. RW = 1 point. GJ = 17 points. I lost by 16.

by MicThaRock on Dec 23, 2009 11:37 AM CST via mobile up reply actions

lost by 15, not 16

by MicThaRock on Dec 23, 2009 11:37 AM CST via mobile up reply actions

That freaking sucks.

I benched him for Housyourmama, but lost anyways. I had Brees, the other dude had Peyton.

Always have liked Mike Mayock

He’s done a great job on nfl network for the past 5 years or so. His path to the draft stuff is the best out there. And whats even better is theres no wasted time bickering between so called “experts” i.e. todd mckshay and Kiper.

Except for one little comment ...

Yes or no, this was a little DIG on Romo: When Mayock says (about Miles) “…this is the guy that has helped make Tony Romo a better Quarterback.”

Whenever a QB is succeeding, there are obviously recipients of every throw. But when you say it like he did, it struck me more like “Romo’s not all that … until this guy came along.”

Doomsday returns... Wade Phillips style.

by DalaiLuke on Dec 23, 2009 11:55 AM CST up reply actions

No

I don’t think he meant it like that. I think he meant it as, “when you have a #1 guy, it makes it easier to succeed”

just like Rice helped Montana be a better qb

and Irvin helped Aikman become better, and Swann and Stallworth helped Bradshaw, and Moss helped Brady, etc, etc…you get the point, I have no problem with that statement and don’t view it as a dig at all.

I think Romo or any other QB would agree 100%.

How bout dem Frogs!!!!

by DIRE WOLF on Dec 23, 2009 1:14 PM CST up reply actions

Bradshaw

Swann & Stallworth made Bradshaw.

Their acrobatic catches bailed him out on many an occasion………..

by oldtimer on Dec 23, 2009 5:02 PM CST up reply actions

You could say that about Brees also

How bout dem Frogs!!!!

Fun to watch

Hope they can play an all-round game and put Wash. away early.

Would have liked to see a note about the run D, which was very strong. Those pass-rushers can tee off because the run was being stuffed pretty well, then add the big lead..

Also liked "the old Romo would have just thrown it down there for a pic. Absolutely true-we’ve seen the evolution over the course of thios season to where he is now consistent-and therefore can be seen as one of the top 10 in the league. That’s what was holding him back before.
Even if he has a bad game and makes some mistakes (he’s gotten away w/some potential picks the last few weeks!) I wouldn’t expect him to go back to those old habits long-term.

I think we’re in for years of excellent, low-turnover QB play.

Pessimists say the cup is half-empty, while optimists say it's half-full. Well, isn't it both? Realist Larry, 2009

by Realist Larry on Dec 23, 2009 2:35 PM CST reply actions

Mike Mayock was wrong

The play at 1:50 in the video he called Anthony Spencer, Demarcus Ware. Ware had two sacks for fumbles. The play they showed right before was Ware’s first sack. His last sack was the game clinching fumble. That was definitely Anthony Spencer. GOO COWBOYS!

by dc93olson on Dec 24, 2009 1:12 AM CST reply actions

The second pass play they looked at

the Romo Rollout – he had Kevin Ogletree absolutely wide open near midfield. Ogletree would’ve had a ~ 40+ yard play, and it was an easier pass than the one he made to roy.
