point, as usual, Raf.

Butch Johnson comes to mind for pulling in a few unlikely grabs in the clutch.

think of the Steelers last year. How small was their margin of victory every week.

But that’s the point. When you do it all the time, it’s not an accident. It means you’re good.

…Terry Glenn made some very impressive catches along these lines.

Terry Glenn had some "wow"in him. T.O was more about being able to fly past through deffenses and yards after the catch. His hands sucked!.

Crayton has some good hands (and some really stupid drops!), Roy Williams better show us soemthing and the rest you cant tell….it’s still too soon in their careers.

is him dunking over the goal post after catching that bomb in the super bowl. How’s that for wow. There was an incredible picture of him dunking on Sports Illustrated’s Point After back in February of 1993 while Irvin looked on with his helmut off. Wish I had a copy.

That play has come into my mind every time we have played the steelers. I’m glad we don’t play them a lot.

Here is the Aikman to Harper throw and it looks like money to me.

Maybe you’re talking about a different play in that game since this play wasn’t a bomb, just a 15 to 20 yard pass that Harper ran for an additional 40 yards.

For the Staubach throw if it was anywhere else it would have been intercepted IMO since Drew looked covered to me. For this type of play they seem to be pretty much a jump ball at the end of the game.

Maybe that is what Raf was talking about.

That is a really good clip of past Cowboy receivers.

SI just put out an article of best and worst NFL owners.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/05/08/nfl.owners/index.html

Of course, I’m biased, but I think it’s an absolute joke that Jerry is not at the top of the list of the best owners. He’s got a state of the art stadium, the highest valued team in the league, an incredible business acumen, a fan base second to none, and a damn good team to boot. The negative media bias never stops. It’s just a joke. SI’s ratings:

1. Rooney
2. Kraft
3. Tisch (Giants)
4. Lurie
5. Biscotti (Ravens)

On the other hand, Jerry’s not in the bottom five either. They are:

1. Al Davis
2. Ford
3. Snyder (ha ha ha)
4. Brown (Bungles)
5. DeBartolo York

… but for now would settle for consistently hanging onto balls that hit the receivers right in the meat hooks!

i agree that we do have some quality #2 receivers. my hope is that each week a different receiver will step up and have big game. that would be cool. not very likely but you never know. defenses couldn’t gear up for any one receiver.

that were making the wow catches. RW reminds me of Key somehow by the way he catches the ball away from his body. TO was a beast but he would catch with hands to the body. its not spectacular, but good for quick slants.

Thanks again, Raf. This made me think about something I hadn’t considered. I guess your students benefit from this on a daily basis but it is, unfortunately, a rarity in the articles the media rights. They are more interested in sensationalism and provoking anger than in helping us better understand the intricacies of the issues involving the team. Thanks again for the time you invest in doing this.

Harper a great #2 (what about T. Hill?)

Jerry Jones – Great owner – not so great GM.

Austin as a #2 – I think Hurd will have some playing time this year.

I’d rather not have the “unbelievable” catches – just be when and where you (the receiver should be) and make the catch.
