Wade Phillips Will Be More Involved in Cowboys’ Offensive Play-Calling
[picappgallerysingle id="9759608"]Now we know who is responsible for the Cowboys’ blunder at the end of the first half that cost them the season opener at Washington. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett made the call to try a pass play from the Dallas 36-yard line with four seconds remaining in the first half. If you haven’t heard [...]
TweetDallas Note to Garrett: Run the Ball and Then Spread it Around
[picappgallerysingle id="9573030"]Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw the ball 47 times in their season-opening loss to the Redskins. In contrast, Dallas only called 22 running plays. You can’t throw the ball nearly 50 times and expect to win a football game in the NFL. Just ask Peyton Manning, whose Colts lost to the Texans for just [...]
TweetBuehler’s Missed Field Goal Proves Costly in Cowboys’ Loss to Redskins
[picappgallerysingle id="9753351"]As if nothing else could go wrong for the Cowboys in their season-opening loss at Washington, new kicker David Buehler missed his first field goal attempt in the NFL. Even worse; it was a measly 34-yard attempt. It was a chip shot for a guy who kicked 29 kickoffs out of the end zone [...]
TweetDallas in Turmoil Over Loss to Redskins in Opener
[picappgallerysingle id="9752873"] It wasn’t Donovan McNabb; it wasn’t Mike Shanahan. It wasn’t even the Redskins’ top-ten pass defense. It was penalties and just dumb mental mistakes that cost the Cowboys a win in Washington Sunday night. Dallas held McNabb in check the entire game and kept the Redskins’ offense out of the end zone. Washington’s [...]
TweetMental Mistakes Crush Cowboys in 13-7 Loss to Redskins in Season Opener
[picappgallerysingle id="9751107"] The first half was not kind to the Cowboys; it was full of penalties and other mental mistakes. After the Cowboys’ only meaningful drive ended in a missed field goal by David Buehler, running back Tashard Choice fumbled a pitch from quarterback Tony Romo on an improvisational last play of the half. Washington cornerback DeAngelo [...]
TweetCowboys vs Redskins Week 1 Preview
[picappgallerysingle id="7435313"]When the Cowboys take on the Redskins in Washington for the NFL Sunday night opener, several questions will be answered about the new-look home team. The Redskins have a new coach in Mike Shanahan, a new quarterback in Donovan McNabb, a new running partner for Clinton Portis in Larry Johnson, and a new 3-4 defense. [...]
TweetCowboys Captains Announced….Sort of
[picappgallerysingle id="7511457"]Dallas head coach Wade Phillips said his team voted on captains Friday, but he would not tell the media who was elected. After a poll of several players, we think we have the list:
TweetDeMarcus Ware Excited About Facing Redskins’ Rookie Left Tackle in Opener
[picappgallerysingle id="1566065"]The Sunday night opener between the Cowboys and Redskins is very exciting for Dallas outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and Washington rookie left tackle Trent Williams, but for very different reasons. Unfortunately for Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb, Williams’ first NFL test will be blocking Ware, a Pro Bowler the past four years and league sack leader [...]
TweetMiles Austin Signs 6-Year Extension With Cowboys
[picappgallerysingle id="9556970"]Even though Dallas wide receiver Miles Austin has only started twelve NFL games (all in 2009), team owner Jerry Jones said he has never been more willing to dole out such a handsome contract to any player. That’s a lot coming from a guy who has handed out some major deals in his day. [...]
