Stepping Up
Excuse me for a second while I let loose Demarco Murray style..
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!
This win felt fantastic. Yes, I understand it was against the lowly Rams. But the way we finally curb stomped a team into the turf was beautiful. Dallas dominated on all phases of the game today. I have nothing but praise for this team right now. This game is just what the doctor ordered. I thought our running game would flourish against St. Louis' last ranked rush defense, but I sure as heck did not expect an explosion of awesomeness courtesy of DeMarco Murray. 253 yards rushing and 91 of those on a freakish TD run? Absolutely unreal. This is perfect timing for the running game to show up, because we got the Eagles next week and their porous line backing core. Another thing that might be overlooked is The Return Of Lumpy. Losing Nagy for the season was a blessing in disguise. Montrae Holland is not an all pro guy, but he is a very serviceable run blocker. And how about some love for Tony Fiametta? Getting him back on the field helps a lot too. And the Defense was once again kicking some tail. What I find the most impressive about the D's performance this sunday was the fact that it didn't get very many sacks(if any.) and it still shut down the Rams on offense and that goal line stand at the end is something you see out of championship caliber defenses.
A rather quiet day from Tony Romo but an efficient one nonethless. His stats weren't godlike but I'll take them over 300 yards and two pick sixes any day of the week. Something that Phillp Rivers doesn't seem to understand this year(Sorry. I had to do it. It's about time someone called out his horrendous play this year.) And we finally saw some Dez Bryant sightings in the second half. A lot of them actually. I think Dez is finally healthy again, and it shows. He's able to be explosive for all four quarters now. But he has got to catch that TD in the second quarter. Other than a few drops this kid is something else. And Tashard Choice needs to make like a tree and get out of Dallas. All he has done this season so far is lose the rock. He may be a good pass blocker but that is not a good enough reason to keep him here. It's crazy, because I used to really like the guy. He looked great during that short stint as the starter in 2008. But it seems he's lost his dang mind ever since he asked Vick for his autograph last year. With Phillip Tanner showing his stuff, it seems like it's nearing the end of Choice's days in Big D.
I asked this team to step up today, and they literally ran right up the gut of despair and tore it to shreds. All I asked for was a win, and the boys delivered a blowout we sorely needed to bolster this team's psyche. All in all this was the best game of the year so far for the Cowboys, and I expect this team to take even bigger steps next week. Taking a page from Tim Tebow, JUST WIN BABY! and keep on winning. This win means not nearly as much if we lose to Philadelphia on sunday night. So come on boys, step up to the pedestal and take the this division by the horns.

Dude!!!
nice post…but I finally have a name for the Murray/Felix combo….Shock and Awe….now to get Tanner in there somehow…..
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Am I the most optimistic Cowboys fan in the World? Yes, due to an "unfortunate accident" to the previous holder of the title.
Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.

That'll give Philly something to chew on this week
After Andy Reid gave them the whole week off (probably thinking they didn’t need to worry about Dallas’ run game which is their weak spot) they come back to the film room and see who they will face this week. Out of 24 QBs (2 left to play monday night) so far this weekend, Demarco Murray has rushed for more yards (253) than 17 of them had passing yards. Somebody might be wishing they didn’t have the whole week off and got at least a couple extra days of practice in. We’ll see though come Sunday night.

And I don't care if it was against the rams
How many times in history has a running back in the NFL rushed for more yards than Murray did? Only 8 times. That is 46 super bowl seasons worth of bad run defense teams and only 8 players have done it better than Murray. Oh, and the record is 296, just 43 more yards. There were still like 10 Minutes left in the game when Murray came out, so yeah he would have done it. Good to get to see Tanner get his time in the limelight and execute one of the best 6 yard TD runs I have ever seen. I think we may have found a running game boys. Can’t stop thinking about a Murray/Tanner 1-2 punch.

if it had been Felix instead of Murray
Felix would have owned the record on the 43 yarder that Murray ran out of gas on
