Now and Later… Cowboys Answering Questions

As the Cowboys were dis­play­ing incred­i­ble dom­i­nance over a play­off cal­iber NFC team, many ques­tions received answers. You see the Cowboys were a team that were in search of an iden­tity, that needed ques­tion­able per­son­nel to set the tone, and it happened.

In the count­less dis­ap­point­ing plays we’ve seen so far this sea­son, the blame has been placed on 5 indi­vid­u­als. Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware, Wade Phillips, Roy Williams, and Jason Garrett. Though I’m guilty of some of those accu­sa­tions, I do believe they answered the call.

Tony Romo regained his old form and ele­vated his play back to super­star level. He had a near per­fect game going 2129 for 311 yards and 3 touch­downs. Not only that, his improv skill showed like it did ear­lier in his career, and that’s a good sign. It seems the Cowboys have ele­vated to the level we expected and Tony is the reason.

Furthermore, you look at Garrett and Phillips. Both under incred­i­ble scrutiny. Yet they pre­pared this team per­fectly to destroy a team that many thought would destroy them. The defense played incred­i­bly, and the offense made the most of it’s chances. Given that fact that you can’t coach penal­ties, I’d say this game was coached per­fectly. So as for the talk that we might be look­ing for a new coach next sea­son… Time will tell, but we just might have the right man for the job.

Roy Williams has been the tar­get for crit­ics since the off­sea­son. I can’t say that I dis­agree either, how­ever, he still com­mands respect. He really is more of a pos­ses­sion receiver. It’s his abil­ity that gets Miles Austin open. Not that I don’t think that Miles is #1 qual­ity because he truly is. I just also believe the Williams is as well. Sure he makes mis­takes but it hap­pens, nobody’s per­fect. All this talk about start­ing Crayton over him, doesn’t make sense, Crayton doesn’t demand respect, and Roy can’t play the slot.

Lastly, DeMarcus Ware, who just received a con­tract exten­sion. Has really emerged the last two games. Not just sta­tis­ti­cally but as the leader of this defense. He is a quiet leader, but his play is the per­fect moti­vater. He leads by exam­ple, that’s some­thing we don’t see much of, but expect him to be the guy in Dallas for years to come, being a night­mare for oppos­ing quar­ter­backs everywhere.

Looking Into the Future:

Its early to think about, but ear­lier this sea­son peo­ple were refer­ring this team to hav­ing there win­dow close. So look­ing fur­ther into the win­dow, I’ve noticed just how much youth we have. Some young super­stars are in the line­ups already and these will be the faces of our fran­chise to come

RB:

Tashard Choice

Felix Jones

These play­ers wont be let go because they round out a per­fect rush­ing assault.

WR:

Miles Austin

Sam Hurd

Kevin Ogletree

A very young group of reciev­ers here that will be able to impact the game for a long time.

TE:

Martellus Bennett– Years from now when Jason Leaves, Martellus will alow the Cowboys not to miss a beat.

LB:

DeMarcus Ware

Victor Butler

Jason Williams

An ath­letic group of pass rush­ers that will tor­ment offenses.

DB:

Orlando Scandrick

Mike Jenkins

Already mak­ing noise on Defense, these two will only get better.

    The game yesterday was amazing, I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time, loved every minute of it. Especially Romo's cinderella dance right before halftime to elude the sack and then toss a TD pass to Crayton. Speaking of Crayton, how bout that 4th quarter punt return? Seems like to me we need to piss him off every week and light a fire under his ass to perform better! I agree with the young "superstar" list accept Hurd, I don't really see that. Roy Williams has been a huge BUST so far, he dropped 2 (that I can remember) balls that he should have grabbed with ease. Sore ribs or not, he has been doing this same shit every since we brought him over, it's time to man up or go home.
  • Agreed on Williams and Hurd Joe.

    The game started out pissing me off, I mean the first quarter was pretty bad, but then out of no where the Dallas Cowboys showed up to play some ball. It was great!

    Austin is proving to me why I wanted him to stay when the trade talks were hot and heavy.

    But let's get more than two together.
