Pro Bowl open thread

Well, this really is the end of the NFL season, if you can actually count the NFL Pro Bowl as a game. Still, they will be playing some semblance of football and you can glimpse a few Cowboys playing for the last time until preseason.

This is an open thread for the Pro Bowl.

I hate how Ware can't rush the passer

and he is the best in the league at it. Ridiculous.

by quincyyyyy on Feb 8, 2009 3:52 PM CST reply actions  

altho

the thing about ware is that he is so great vs. the run & in coverage as well…

I still habitually alternate between

4, 5, 9, and 11 because I’m not sure which is which in Denton.

Flo like a fox

He’s going to cripple Breeze to eliminate one team from contention next year.

We could cut Henry and Roy

Then restructure some contracts, there must be a way we can fit him under the cap

OLB

He wants to rush off the edge.

I'm sure we have bigger needs

Like ILB, NT, Backup QB, O-Line Depth…

But it would be great to have him replace Canty.

by JimmyJohnson on Feb 8, 2009 5:02 PM CST up reply actions  

So on consecutive plays...

..Jared Allen strips Kerry Collins, recovers the ball, and goes a few yards. Then “Purple Jesus”/AD/AP goes 13 yards up the middle for the TD.

Which begs the question: How bad is Tavaris Jackson ???

by GhettoBear04 on Feb 8, 2009 5:59 PM CST reply actions  

Not a noticeable play

But AP did an amazing job recovering his own fumble.

How...

Did Al Harris make the ProBowl?

Just another indication of what the Pro Bowl means….

by AirforceBat on Feb 8, 2009 6:18 PM CST reply actions  

The fade to Larry Fitz....

If I were in the endzone I’d throw it up to him every freaking time.

The only way you can stop him is if you push him out of bounds.

by AirforceBat on Feb 8, 2009 6:30 PM CST reply actions  

That is what made the goal line INT so puzzling

Just toss three corner fades to Fitzy and kick a FG at worst.

Look at that massive, HGH inflated skull— about twice as big as his twin brother’s head. Not a big mystery on why he experienced a freakish performance surge late in his career.

Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.

remember

I’ve probably been watching football longer than most of you have been alive, but remember when the NFL used to have the previous year’s champion play the college all stars (rookies mostly) in the preseason? Wasn’t always better than this “exhibition” Pro bowl? Why they quit doing that?

by rocklaw on Feb 8, 2009 6:50 PM CST reply actions  

meant to say...

Wasn’t IT always better than this Pro Bowl business?

by rocklaw on Feb 8, 2009 6:55 PM CST up reply actions  

and no,

the game I recall were dullsville.

by Rafael Vela on Feb 8, 2009 7:05 PM CST up reply actions  

cause the pro teams didn't want to do it

and why would you want them to? Just another chance to get your guys injured.
Plus, the teams that drafted those guys don’t want them being exposed either.

College All Star game

Wasn’t it called the College All Star game?

by rocklaw on Feb 8, 2009 6:51 PM CST reply actions  

Let them play the Arena Champs

with 45k on the line and see what happens…

by JimmyJohnson on Feb 8, 2009 6:59 PM CST reply actions  

One year

Cowboys were in the game, maybe after the first Super Bowl win, and had to play a team with Robert Newhouse as an All-Star. They had drafted him and he put on a show. College boys may have even won the game. It was kinda cool.

by rocklaw on Feb 8, 2009 7:02 PM CST reply actions  

I remember that game

In today’s world, there’s no way that game could happen. If you’re an agent for one of those rookies, would you let them risk that?

by StillHateTheGiants on Feb 8, 2009 8:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Yep...

Way too much money involved these days.

by AirforceBat on Feb 8, 2009 9:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Still better than this "Pro Bowl"

It seems that the rooks were showing the pros up more than the champs were comfortable with.

by rocklaw on Feb 8, 2009 7:07 PM CST reply actions  

Bad Roy says

Parcells regime was better, more structured

Owens is a good guy but he is setting a bad example for the younger players with his actions.

He played better in a 4-3 because it was more “gap sound”

He is willing to restructure his contract, also taking into account if it is good for his family.

Anyone catch Ray Lewis's pre game prep speach ???

That reason alone is why he’s needed on this team…

by CowboysRnumba1 on Feb 8, 2009 10:54 PM CST reply actions  

yeah, we all know how important

pre game speeches are and how they are responsible for winning games…give me a break, execution on the field wins games, pre game speeches have nothing to do with that.

I never watch the ProBowl but I caught a few quarters

Let me just say, after watching Flo play with the real ProBowlers, it’s clear he’s not in that league anymore. It was embarrassing to see as a fan.

I think Jerry made a big mistake extending him, and it’s going to end up costing the team.
They should step up preparing Free post haste, and/or make finding the future LT a priority this off-season.

by APerfectStar on Feb 9, 2009 3:43 PM CST reply actions  

It doesn't take much to get Jerry to give someone a big payday

Hamlin, Flo, Barber, Crayton, RW2 – he is a softie.
I think he doubts his ability to gather and develop talent, so he overpays to hang on to what he has.

by I_miss_Switzer on Feb 9, 2009 4:34 PM CST up reply actions  

Jerry didn't make a mistake

he might be on the downside of his career, but he’s much better than Free or McQuistan. He had no choice but to re-sign Flo.

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Feb 9, 2009 6:52 PM CST up reply actions  

He's better than the young backups

But that means they didn’t address finding his backup with enough urgency. So I have to blame Jerry either way. Flo is clearly on the downside, I just hope it’s not a quick decent.

Backup should be replacement

by APerfectStar on Feb 9, 2009 7:50 PM CST up reply actions  

That is the problem with this teams depth

no young guys pushing old guys out. Even Anthony Spencer can’t make Ellis sweat, or Jenkins to Henry. Our five OL are generally decent, but irreplaceable on the present roster. This way overinflates their perceived value.

by I_miss_Switzer on Feb 9, 2009 9:04 PM CST up reply actions  

Exactly

the error was in not finding a replacement. Three first rounders started every game at LT for their new teams last year.

He had a choice not to be forced into resigning Flo. Just because Flo is better than McQuistan doesn’t mean he deserves the big payday.

Why not franchise him?

by I_miss_Switzer on Feb 9, 2009 9:03 PM CST up reply actions  

+1 Tom...I was not happy with the resigning one bit...especially when you got possible replacements like Jordan Gross about to hit FA in a few weeks...

but then again, I agree Jerry should have this addressed prior to being held hostage in negotiating the recent contract…
