Dallas Cowboys Game Ball Of The Week

Well, it turned into a happy birthday for me after all. I thought the Cowboys were going to spoil it by losing to the Redskins, but in the end they managed to somehow pull out a badly needed win. Then the Eagles gave me an extra present by beating the Giants and ending the day with the Cowboys tied for first in the NFC East and holding the tiebreaker advantage.
What is it about the Dallas-Washington rivalry? Daryl Johnston kept talking about it during the game, and Moose is right. You cannot look at the records or much of anything else when these teams play. It usually is going to be a wild one. And in this case, downright scary.
Awarding the game ball is difficult after this. Almost everyone who did something right also had some bad moments. But the game wound up in the W column, and there were a few players who deserve mention for what they did. And one that gets to accept the award this week. It's just my opinion, of course, but hey, that's what they don't pay me to do.
First, some honorable mentions.
My choices after the jump.
Tony Romo was a warrior. There were times where things just did not seem in sync, particularly when he was trying to find Dez Bryant and Laurent Robinson, but at crucial times he made plays. The signature play for him was rolling away from pressure and extending the play so he could find a receiver. And even though the Redskins were putting pressure on him all game and racked up four sacks, he did not throw an interception. That is, to me, the major stat for Tony at this point of the season. He is doing a great job of taking care of the ball. The Cowboys won the turnover battle 2-0, and that is no small part of what happened on the field.
If there is one player on the Cowboys who will always have a good game no matter what, it is Jason Witten, and this was no exception. The Senator was the leading receiver, and had the longest touchdown reception of his career to put the Cowboys back in the lead in the fourth quarter. Go ahead and start working on that bust for Canton.
And now, a name that I am a bit surprised to mention here. After all the abuse, all the criticism, all the talk about being a bust, Martellus Bennett had what may be the best game of his career with the Star on his helmet. He had three balls thrown at him, and he caught all three. One of them was a tipped ball that he reached out and made a nifty one-handed grab of to set up the touchdown to Witten. And the other was a fighting reception to start off the winning drive, where the Redskins were trying to tackle the ball, and wound up pushing him an extra five or so yards downfield when the 'Boys needed every yard.
After the game, Bennett was interviewed Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg, the Cowboys' radio broadcasters, and talked a bit about his role on the team. He discussed the fact that his role is primarily to be a blocker, and that he does share the tight end duties with a certain future ROH/HOF player who gets most of the targets. While he has had some boneheaded drops, in this game he did his job very well, but that's based on past performance that set the bar pretty low.
I was also influenced by past performance when I made my decision to give the game ball to Dan Bailey. Yes, the kicker gets it, and I think he fully deserves it. If you didn't get to hear the radio call, Brad Sham didn't say "It's good!" or "Dallas wins!" He just said (with dramatic pauses worthy of the late Paul Harvey) "Dan . . . Bailey . . . rocks!"
25 in a row. One miss all year long. Two overtime victories, and the six for six performance in the first Washington game. If you have been following the Cowboys for more than, oh, this season, you know how much anxiety has surrounded the place kicker position over the past few years. But this time, when the Cowboys got within his range, I knew the game was over, because Dan "Split 'em" Bailey was on the sidelines. This was actually one of the few kicks that I had to wait for the signal because it was close, but he was still money and kept the win streak alive in a game that frequently looked like it was going to slip away. For what he did in this game, and for what he has meant to the team the entire season, Dan Bailey gets this Game Ball.

maybe that game wil open more chances for him to take advantage of… let’s hope. 2 of his catches led to very important 1st downs on drives that led to scores, including the overtime FG. thanks Marty )

Marty B
Very good game for him.
Good to see he was thought of for this award. I’m sure JG will recognize him internal to the team
in some way
It's unfortunate that catching 3 passes is now considered a "very good game"
I remember the days when we hoped he could be a real weapon for us. Now we’re just happy when he’s not tipping interceptions into the other teams’ hands.

we shud trade Marty B & for Percey Harvin.
the Vikings dont use him to his best ability & having someone with his speed, agility & lateral burst is a sweet weapon. Maybe they can find someone in the draft but if they dont the Vikings are rebuilding. heck they might take a 5th or who knows
Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth. Sean Lee is a welcomed addition at ILB & Kegabear's prediction about Spencer looks spot on so far.
For a former first rounder?
Al Davis wouldn’t make that deal, so I doubt anyone else would.

Yes a GB for Romo, he made plays happen yesterday.
The reverse out and roll to his left bought time and made possible sacks big plays. Washington’s D is one of the best we faced all year, nice win, stand the F by Miami.

Who else was scared to death that Marty B was going to fumble that catch in OT?
I know I was. I was screaming, GO DOWN GO DOWN GO DOWN! But he did a great job of protecting and holding onto to the ball. Great job Marty B. and way to hang in there.
Like any streak, I know Bailey is going to miss again (i think). I just hope it doesn’t happen when we really really really need it.

+1 On Bennet
I was certain he was going to strip it. In fact, I felt like the Refs let it go way too long, like the RW play against the Bears.
+1
He said in the Post-Game interview referenced above, that he is always on Murray and Felix to hold on to the ball and that it was a conscious thought of his to not let it get stripped out or he would have caught a lot of grief from the RBs.
Thanks Marty B, a small contribution on the stat sheet, but a contribution nonetheless (and extra love for no contributions to Romo’s INT stat via Marty B)
I thought he made 24 in a row?
either way Dan Bailey deserves the game ball. oh and happy birthday Tom.

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

Romo definitely gets the game ball without question
No way Bailey even gets a chance to make a game winning FG if it wasn’t for Romo being the Jedi Knight that he is.
His ability to make plays when the pocket breaks down is truly magical.
Bottom line is the Cowboys don’t win that game without Romo’s amazing performance. On the hand, I always expect a NFL FG kicker to make a 40 yard FG 100% of the time.
In Romo we Trust
That kick would've had to be from 54 yards ou tif Romo would've called his TO with none left....
Might as well give the game ball to Shanahan….
Romo played a good game, but not knowing you’re out of timeoutsin overtime coudve been a costly mistake.
wouldn't have been a penalty

Hell, I dont know
All i know for sure is that while listening to the Ticket this morning, Babe was swearing up and down that its not a penalty and that if the skins had not called a timeout that the refs would have let the clock run out and dallas would have lost 5 yards for delay of game. He said that if a team is out of timeouts and they try calling one anyway that the refs are “instructed” to ignore them and do nothing.
When asked what happens if the ref screws up and doesn’t realize that the team is out of timeouts, Babe simply said the refs would have to sort it out on the field. Beats the crap out of me.

It's a 5-yarder
http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/signals/8
It’s only unsportsmanlike if, before a kick, the DEFENSE calls the excess timeout or calls two timeouts during the same deadball.
“An attempt to call an excess team timeout or to call a second timeout in the same dead-ball period by Team B in an attempt to “freeze” a kicker, will be considered unsportsmanlike conduct and will subject the offending team to a 15-yard penalty. This will apply to field goal or try attempts."
there it is
man i looked all over for that and couldn’t find it. So its a 5 yarder, there you go.

Yeah, it was tough to find and a little awkwardly worded.
Archer actually has a post on ESPN that’s wrong (I know, shocker). He says it’s a 15-yarder — but I think he reads the rule incorrectly. He looks at the “by Team B in an attempt to ‘freeze’ the kicker” clause as only applying to the defense calling a second timeout during the same dead-ball period. I think it applies to both of the situations in the rule (i.e., excess timeout and second timeout during same dead-ball).
That happened to Joe Gobbs a few years back
He called back to back timeouts and the Skins got hit with a 15 yard penalty thus giving the other team a much easier FG. Game over and Skins lost :)

It was 3rd down, man
they could have tried to pick up additional yards had they needed to. Lighten up Francis.

Very true
all the more reason to kick on 3rd down in that situation.

by TARHEEL PAUL on Nov 21, 2011 2:02 PM CST up reply actions
ok, lets put this another way
Lets say Matt McBriar is the holder and this same thing happens. How POed would you be? Now, I know we would probably be all getting on Garrett/Decamillis as much or more than McBriar (which is different from the Romo situation), but the free passes need to stop.
This is a big deal. And heck, Bailey doesn’t make that kick from 5 yards further out. Lets not pretend that 5 yards is irrelevant either.
Not to mention the momentum such a flub would give washington
Not PO'd at all
First Romo stated that he saw the Skins call the timeout first. So it was always a Skins timeout. Second, it was 3rd down and they could have made up the ground if needed. Third, adding 5 yards would not have taken it out of Bailey’s range. Fourth, if they miss the FG, the game isn’t over.
It’s not great that Romo didn’t realize that they only got 2 TOs in OT instead of the 3 you get per half, but it’s not the worst thing ever. It’s just a way for a lot of people to be frustrated with Romo since his management of the game itself was nearly perfect.
Don't believe everything you think.
Just FYI, the early accounts of Romo's press conference indicated that
he was kidding when he said he didn’t know they only get two TO’s in overtime. He just didn’t realize they were out of TO’s.
And BTW
although the rules allow for a 5 yard delay of game penalty, MikePereira states that the standard reaction by referees is to ignore TO calls when they know none are remaining.
Don't believe everything you think.
The TO meant nothing. What I would like to know is why they ran out
of time to kick. I still suspect it was because they were debating on whether to kick on third down or run another play.
I think they were so expecting Shanahan to call one to freeze it that they were waiting on it
and he did.
Don't believe everything you think.
Free pass? Are you kidding me? If McBriar had done it, it would have
been a blip on the screen of the press, etc. The fact that Romo did it is the ONLY reason it’s getting more than passing attention.
Frankly, the fact that Romo is holding at all, when it hasn’t been his job in years, should earn him some slack. It ain’t, and should not be, his job. Time to train McGee, or someone, anyone, to do it.
Maybe Bailey could learn to hold his own kicks?
In all seriousness, you are correct, surely someone is capable of performing the holder duties.
Well you apparently don't watch Many NFL games
And DEFINITELY haven’t been watching many Cowboys games, because we’ve had MANY kickers miss 40 yard kicks.

I got confused. I took that to mean that you always expect a NFL FG kicker to make a 40 yard FG 100% of the time. but I probably missed something. Because if you DID expect this, then to me it would be a wierd expectation for a cowboy fan who’s been watching Cowboy games over the last couple of years.

FYI, 40 yard field goals are only made 80% of the time. Even Vanderjagt only made ~84% of his 40 yard FG Atts.
But I agree, Romo deserves game ball.

Ok, im gonna have to put this myth to rest that missing Fiametta was a huge deal for us
in yesterdays game. As i said on another post, I watched the game again last night and was looking for a couple of things. Oline play and how was the lead blocking without Fiametta.
I know some of you just want to look at the final stats and say we really missed Fiametta and while thats fair to say and we all have a right to our opinion, the facts are, that the running game yesterday was not affected by the loss of Fiametta. John Phillips did a really good job while lead blocking.
Two things lead to the rushing stats being down. 1st, the redskins are a pretty darn good defense and they were absolutely selling out to make sure they contained Murray. Everytime Murray tried to cut back (which he has been doing a lot of) there was a Redskin there waiting. He just wasn’t able to break the tackles like he has been doing. Gotta give props to London Fletcher and Perry Riley for that.
2nd, The oline was not able to get to the second level and pick up the linebackers. When the lead blocker was going through the hole, he was doing his job, which is basically to pick up the first guy he sees. Which he did. All day. That gets back to the line not getting to the 2nd level and picking up the guy that the lead blocker couldn’t get to.
My point is, it takes both a good lead blocker and good oline play to make the running game go. To point at Fiametta being out and saying he is the sole difference maker in the running game is just false. Does it help to have him? Absolutely. Are we toast without him? Not hardly. Fiametta playing yesterday wouldn’t have made a difference in the final rushing stats.
We're here to win football games. The way to do that is to tell him and to get on him at the right times. I do that when you guys (media) don't see and watch.''
What else makes a strong leader?
"You win,'' Romo said. "You're a very good leader once you win.

Ummmm
Does it help to have him? Absolutely. Are we toast without him? Not hardly.
I agree.
Fiametta playing yesterday wouldn’t have made a difference in the final rushing stats.
Ummm… so then it DOESN’T help to have him? Since he doesn’t make any difference. I don’t follow.
So I’m confused after reading your

Does it help to have him? Absolutely. Are we toast without him? Not hardly
I agree
Fiametta playing yesterday wouldn’t have made a difference in the final rushing stats.
Ummm… so then it DOESN’T help to have him? Since he doesn’t make any difference. I don’t follow.

First off, I think you were a little off on your block quoting
I can see how that would confuse. I guess what im trying to say is referring to yesterdays game. When i watched the game again, I didn’t see anything that he would have done that Phillips or whoever was lead blocking didn’t already do. Just saying that the fullback/lead blocker did there job yesterday and the oline didn’t.

I think you can't tell.
All we know is that WITH our regular FB we’ve been very successful running the ball, and without we haven’t. He’s actually had a higher correlation to our success running the ball than Murray. Since we don’t know the design of every play we don’t always know what the FB’s or the Oline is supposed to be doing, but I know that Seattle has a better Rush Defense, and Murray and Fiammetta didn’t seem to have much trouble with them.

That sounds good but his exact effect is something you would never know.
What if his absence caused JG to call plays differently? What if Murray’s confidence was somehow affected? What if Garrett couldn’t use certain formations that he wanted to. Not saying any of that is true, but there are factors that we just can’t know. What we can’t do is argue with success. Every game Fiametta’s been in there we’ve had great success. When he hasn’t been in there, we’ve had no success. An 11 game stretch is a pretty good sample size. It’s more than just a trend.
Ask not what America's team can do for you, but what you can do for America's team.

All i was really trying to say was that the lead blocking in yesterdays game was fine.

I just heard on the radio that it would not have been a penalty at all.
Apparently, the rule book states that if a team is out of time outs and they try calling one, the officail by rule must ignore the request and do nothing.
In yesterdays situation, the officials would have ignored Romo and just let the clock run out which would have been a delay of game and a 5 yard penalty.

The only time a penalty can be called for calling a time out is when you try to call 2 in a row. That results in a “unsportsman like conduct” penalty. You may remember a few years ago when Joe Gibbs did this at the end of a game when he was trying to put a double freeze on a kicker at the end of a game. I think it was against the Bills.

it might still be though, i guess
i’ve been reading the rule book and cant really find anything on it.
The closest thing I could find is “calling exsecive timeouts”. And that it results in a 5 yard penalty. Now I dont know if that is for calling back to back to’s( i know for sure thats against the rules) or calling one when you dont have one.

False, brother
It’s not up to the refs to keep track of how many timeouts you have. If they grant Romo’s request for a timeout, I’m pretty sure it’s an unsportsmanlike penalty and 15 yards.
Or, at the very least it’s a delay of game penalty for calling a timeout without having any. Which would be 5 yards. Whatever the case may be, it’s a penalty and not up to the refs to know how many timeouts you have. If they see someone signal for a timeout, they will grant it, whether you have one or not.
But you would be wrong
Tarheel Paul explained it correctly. It’s in the rule book. People have gone and looked it up. It’s no longer an argument. It’s fact. 5 yard delay of game.
Ask not what America's team can do for you, but what you can do for America's team.

And Mike Pereira added that allthough it can be a delay of me penalty

Ugh. I hate to keep repeating this, but the NFL has already said that there
would have been no penalty on Romo for trying to call the time out. The worst that would have happened is that they would have gotten a 5-yard delay of game for not getting the kick off on time, and I’m not sure who was at fault for that.
Ok, fair enough
I could’ve sworn I saw the Eagles get charged with an unsportsmanlike penalty before for calling a timeout when they didn’t have one.
Everyone knows McNabb and Andy weren’t the best with the ol’ timeouts.
But I’ll take your word for it until I hear otherwise.

letting choice go was a grand move no dought..
but not trading him two years ago still makes me pout.
why is tashard never the first choice…. the sooners started AD and all the fans did was rejoice…
so tashard goes to georgia where he had a decent college career… only to find the cowboys but after a few years…
the cowboys draft another sooner named murray..
from past experience choice knew he was going to be replaced in a hurry!
now tashard is a redskin whats a guy to do…. he is now in the sewar with all the rest of the orakapoo!!!

If the play works, never run it again. If it fails, keep running it.
First and goal at the one. Run it three times in a row, and then kick a field goal. Sound familiar?
The Cowboys seem to have a lot of problems with delay of game situations and play calls not being relayed...
…that’s coaching, not the players…they better get that fixed…although the most disconcerting part is that they have known this is an issue and 10 games in we still have problems…how we didn’t get lined up for the game winning field goal in a timely manner is ridiculous.
Hmmm, Ridicule
While not much in favour of such things, especially as a teaching method, it might be worth a shot with this lot, coaches and players, if they don’t get the drill down pat. This’s mechanics, routine, not extraordinary improvisation to unexpected circumstance.

I wouldn’t expect you to really give the game ball to him. But the truth is he deserves it. If not for that missed FG… well it goes without saying.
And not just the OT miss
The miss (after the long Banks return) with about 6 min left in the third and that kept the game at 17-10 was huge.

Any Scotch drinkers out there want to weigh in on What Scots Whiskey they like to drink that is roughly in the same price range as a full tank of premium gas for a 3/4 ton Pick’em up Truck (but tastes a whole lot smoother LOL) ? I have one or two in mind, but am always open to suggestions!
Last year my wife was able to find a bottle of 15 year old Laphroaig, from Islay don’t ya know. The Smokiness, Oak, Peat, Seaweed, and Sherry notes were like what they must serve in Heaven!! SOOO much better than the Ten year old. But finding another bottle of that would be akin to hitting the Lottery twice in the same day LOL!!!
GOOOO Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like your style.
Hope your birthday is as happy as mine.

Well, my choice is Laphroaig, so I guess I can't weigh in since that's already yours too.
