liquidcrystalcompass Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 QUOTE (Echoes @ Mar 12 2009, 07:52 PM) What do you guys think of the trading of Anthony Henry to Detroit for John Kitna? Personally, I dont mind Kitna as a backup, but IMO the price the Cowboys paid for him was too high.... I would have preferred Chris Simms or Jeff Garcia. I think that we need a quarterback that poses a threat to Romo. I know Simms is still unproven but I think he's got something. Romo needs some competition and Kitna is no threat to him. Anyway, Kitna is a hell of a lot better than the old spare Johnson. Anthony Henry was disposable and probably wouldn't have started even if he stayed here.

Weakly Criminal Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 QUOTE (Syrinx @ Mar 11 2009, 09:34 AM) Wow! For some reason, I decided to enter this part of the Forum for the first time. I am a Cowboys FANATIC! I live and die with this team and have since 1971 when I was a little kid in Toronto and watched them win their first Super Bowl. My license plate is DALASFAN. I am on their web site and others every day getting the latest info. Here is my take on a few things. I was surprised that Jerry let TO go. Unfortunately his production (which was still more than respectable last year) couldn't overcome his celebrity. The media blew a lot of stuff WAY out of proportion, but I also truly believe that he divided the locker room because of his very strong personality. I can live with him going though. I have a really good feeling about Miles Austin. I think he is going to take the next step this year and he will be the one to stretch the field and Roy Williams will be much better with a full off season working with Romo. Romo will also get back some of his happy go lucky attitude. He looked unhappy too often last year and I believe the media attention on Owens and the "feud" wore on him. He was also really banged up. And the main reason that I am not too worried about Owen's absence - we have one of the pemier running games in the NFL now! Tashard Choice and Marion Barber are going to be traditional RB's. Felix is going to be lining up all over and he will also be lined up out wide and used to stretch the field at times. He is going to be a monster! I so very much hope that you're right. And here's to ya volunteer! Texas would never have been a republic without you boys. Ok, so you're from Toronto; so much the better. I'm tending toward being optimistic about next season like you are. The biggest factor in my mind is the OL play. Romo is not a big guy, and there's no way he can take a pounding. Give him the same kind of protection that Len Dawson got, and you'll get a similar performance. Do to him what was done to Aikman early in his career, and he'll be through within two years. Run the ball while keeping the offence versatile, and come with an aggressive D. I think that gives us a punchers chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The O line definitely has to regroup this year. Remember Flozell played hurt for a number of games last year. He had an infected hand which was rendered amost useless for quite a while. And Kosier was missed more than any of us exected. All I know is the team I saw live in the season opener in Cleveland looked pretty darn good. Staying healthy like we did previous years is THE key. Kitna is a decent back up. No one is going to challenge Romo for at least another couple of years with his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the media, but it seems that the day after TNew came out with the recent criticism of Romo, the two of them were on the golf course together. We'll see.

It's a foregone conclusion that this division is coming down to Philly and the Giants. Both of them will make the playoffs. But while Washington signed Albert Haynesworth in the offseason, Dallas signed no free agent of note, and in fact lost TO. Don't kid yourself, Dallas will go 7-9, and finish last in the East.

Syrinx Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Don't get so down. We had serious injury problems and attitude problems last year. If we can stay healthy, this Cowboys team has a LOT of talent. The spotlight and expectations are off this team and they will surprise people. I don't get the low expectations in the media, and elsewhere. I follow the Cowboys religiously on a daily basis. There are good things happening which don't get reported. Maybe I am just a "homer" (living in Toronto), but I am not scared of the Giants or Eagles and certainly not the Redskins. I am happy to see all these predictions. The head to headgames in the NFC east will be very competitive. And I am going to the first one against the Giants - I predict a win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm smack dab in the middle of Cowboys country. We have three local sports radio stations that talk Cowboys non-stop. They also have the inside scoop. We do have TONS of talent but I see our QB taking on the same personality as our head coach and that's going to be a huge problem. It's common for a QB to act like his head coach. Aikman/Jimmy and Staubach/Landry are prime examples. There are several examples of it all over the league. He acts more and more like Aww Shucks with each passing day. The sooner we get our hill-billy coach out of here the better imo. I thought Dad was a lousy head coach too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I agree with the aw shucks attitude. I would love to get Jimmy back! People are focussing way too much on Owens departure and Williams picking up the slack. Wait till they get a look at Witten / Marty B and the 3 headed running back monster. How do you defence against that - with a few pretty good young receivers thrown in the mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-ordinator AND Dawkins (leader of the defense) and this defense takes a couple of steps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
