Jaime Aron decides to give Julius Jones a little love in this article.
Tony Dorsett showed up in the locker room to give Jones a player of the week award. Because of Jones' size, there were inevitable comparisons to Emmitt Smith. Talk of him joining the Dorsett-Smith lineage quickly followed.
The high-ankle sprain and less than stellar blocking took care of that kind of talk last year. But JJ has re-emerged this year as a dependable, feature back. Now do this for the next decade, and JJ will enter the Dorsett-Smith lineage.
You never like to hear a defense talk this way about your QB.
Chris Collingsworth jumps into the Bledsoe vs. Romo debate. (Yeah, I know, I can't believe I'm actually linking to Collingsworth either).
On the other hand, making a change at quarterback right now may be a make-or-break move. If Romo fails, it might cost them the season. It would be tough to turn back to Bledsoe at that point and expect the team to still have confidence in him, as a player and a leader. For some coaches, it might be worth the risk to get the young quarterback some experience for the future, but there's a good chance that this is Parcells' last year in Dallas. He is only interested in what gives him the best shot at winning a Super Bowl this year.
Heading to Philly, the Cowboys had a shot. The Eagles were beaten up. They had not played vs. solid competition. And there was the T.O. factor. But it didn't work. The Cowboys played as badly as they could and still came within 6 yards of tying the score.
This week has reminded me of Animal House, where Kevin Bacon is screaming at the end, "All is well" as chaos erupted in the streets.
Bill Parcells is playing Bacon's role this week.
