Cowboys Corner

Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware has Sprianed Neck???

The Cowboys, who provided the diagnosis of a sprained neck, also said Ware was "aware and alert with full movement and strength in his extremities."

The has been no indication given yet how bad of a sprain but it is clear that he could be out the rest of the season.

Dallas Cowboys 17 San Diego Chargers 20 - Game Recap and Video!!!

Cowboys now 0 for December!!!

Well the Cowboys found a way to lose again in December.  This time a goal line stand and a missed field goal were the difference.  This time one of the Cowboys star players was taken off on a stretcher and it didn't seem to matter.  The team didn't get fired up and make a stand on defense and the offense was too little too late on their comback.

The Chargers have now won 8 in a row and the Cowboys now go on the road to play a team that has won 13 in a row.  Only to be followed by two NFC East games.

The Cowboys are now 8-5 and the Giants and Eagles are playing as I write this.  The Cowboys will be out of first place no matter who wins that game.

It's December in Dallas Cowboys Land!!!! Cowboys - Chargers Preview - All Time Series Record!!!

San Diego Chargers are 15-0 in December over the last 4 years. 

The Cowboys have lost 5 of their last 6 in December.

Which streak will end.  The good news for Cowboys fans is that this is the first game in December in their new 100,000+ stadium.  If Jerry Jones is smart he will keep the roof closed and let the fans be the 12th, 13th and 100,000th man and make the play calling for Phillip Rivers tough all day.

The Charger are good but they are beatable if the Cowboys can run.  The Charger defense is #22 in the NFL in rush defense.  The Cowboys need to unleash the three headed monster and ram it down the Chargers throat.  Keep the ball in Romo's hands not Rivers hands.

Rivers leads the league in yards per pass so they need to keep him off the field. 

It would be nice if Igor would get a sack too.

NY Giants 31 Cowboys 24 Video Highlights - It doesn't get better with age!!!

The Cowboys had the 10-0 lead and had te chance to put the Ginatsw away for good.  But they let it slip away.  Barber's fumble really hurt as it put the Giants back into the game and they never looked back.

The good news is that Romo did not lose the game for the Cowboys after taking a second look it was the defense and special teams that had less than a stellar game.

Check out the highlights.

Dallas Cowboys Injury Report 12/5/09: D. Ware has Broken Wrist!!!

Dallas Cowboys

D. Ware is a warrior but a broken foot and a broken wrist.  It may not be a bad time to sit him down.  If he is to have anything left in January some rest may be in order.

LB DeMarcus Ware - foot/wrist (10/21 - 12/4) The Pro Bowl linebacker is playing with a stress fracture in his foot, but amazingly it hasn't seemed to affect him in the last few games. On the Cowboys' final injury report of the week, though, Ware was listed as also having a wrist injury, which must have occurred in practice. Still, the pass rusher is listed as probable for the Giants game.

LB Victor Butler - knee (11/27) The rookie linebacker suffered a sprained knee in the Raiders game last week. Head coach Wade Phillips called it a "slight sprain" and noted that Butler was able to go out to practice on a limited basis Monday. Butler had full participation Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's practice, and is probable for the Giants.

QB Tony Romo - back (11/22) The quarterback played through pain against Oakland after taking a knee to the back against Washington just four days earlier. Romo still performed well against the Raiders and is probable for the Giants game, following extra days to rest and full participation in the week's practices.

TE Jason Witten - foot (11/22) Although Witten was limited in practice all last week with a sprained foot, he recorded a season-high 107 receiving yards against Oakland thanks to three plays of at least 20 yards. Like Romo, he has had full practice participation this week and is probable for Sunday.

S Ken Hamlin - ankle (11/15) Hamlin suffered a high ankle sprain against the Packers on Nov. 15 and has missed the last two games. Hamlin has not practiced this week and was listed as being out against the Giants, though doctors said last week they thought he might be able to return for this game.

OT Marc Colombo - ankle (11/15) Colombo had surgery to repair ligaments after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Packers. He also fractured his fibula. There's a chance Colombo could return this season, but he will miss at least several weeks. Doug Free has replaced him in the starting lineup.

S Gerald Sensabaugh - thumb (10/4) The starting strong safety has played the last several games without any major problems since having thumb surgery and is expected to start again Sunday in New York.

Injured Reserve:
LB Brandon Williams (torn ACL)
LB Stephen Hodge (knee) New York Giants

TE Travis Beckum - questionable - (groin - limited participation)
LB Michael Boley - probable - (back - full participation)
RB Ahmad Bradshaw - questionable - (ankle/foot - limited participation)
WR Derek Hagan - probable - (hamstring - full participation)
QB Eli Manning - probable - (foot - full participation)
S Michael Johnson - questionable - (groin - did not participate)
RB D.J. Ware - out - (concussion - out)

 

It's December will Romo get Frost Bite Video!!!

Most NFL QB's do not do well in December.  There is only one Super Bowl winner each year and the thinning out precess starts in December.  The Cowboys have been 5 - 8 in December since 2006 which is not great but Romo has thrown 19 interception and only 14 TD passes in that time.  The interceptions and fumbles need to be limited before the cold of December can be turned to the warmth of Florida in January.

Check out the video.  It is eye opening.

Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo Hits Vegus Strip - Miles Austin Too!

Well, he we go again.  Give some single boys the day off and what goes on in Vegas is front page news.

Looks like Romo and WR Miles Austin were taking in the site in Vegas after their win over the Raiders.

If they win in NY all will be forgotten but lose the first game in December and it will be hard to recover.

Not good PR on these guys.  I wonder which one pick up one of Tiger Woods' gal pals?

 

Cowboys get no help from Redskins or Bucs!!!

It looked like the Cowboys were going to get some help in the standings from the Redskins and Bucs but they fell flat late.  Anyway the Cowboys are in first place and it feels good so far.  The Eagles play the Falcons next week so there may be some help there.  Eli Manning is now also complaining about his foot so this Sunday's Bloody Passion Bowl looks like it will be fun.

The Bloody Passion Bowl - II

In what was a GIANT loss on Thanksgiving night as most of the country was sleeping off a giant dinner the Broncos were cooking up a nice treat for a whole lot of NFC teams including the Dallas Cowboys.  The Broncos beat the Giants 26-6 giving the Cowboys an even bigger NFC East lead going into their Bloody Passion Bowl 2009 rematch in Giants stadium next Sunday.

At worst the Cowboys have really put themselves in a good position for the wild card race.  Ten wins should be enough to get into the playoffs as a wild card.

Dallas Cowboys 24 Oakland Raiders 7 - Game Recap and Video Highlights!!!

As Bachman Turner Overdrive once said, "Taking Care of Business!"

The Dallas Cowboys have made it through November and are on top of the NFC East regardless of what the Giants or Eagles do this weekend.  The Cowboys have won 2 of their 3 games in 11 days and can now enjoy the extended weekend off to get ready for a little revenge on the Giants who have been faltering the last six weeks.

The Cowboys defense made it look easy as Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski struggled to get his receivers to catch the ball.  They gave the offense enough time in the beginning of the game to get out of the funk they have been in the last two weeks.  The offense did move the ball from the start but could not get any points out of it.

Finally, the Cowboys got a big play from Tashard Choice on a 66 yard Wildcat run and all seemed to be ok from there.  The Cowboys had big play after big play to break the game open.  The offense also protected the ball which kept them out of trouble.

Felix Jones made his big play comeback as well as the Cowboys used the three headed monster as expected.

TE Jason Witten who was not even going to play in the game had his best game of the year going over 100 yards receiving for the game.

Overall a solid, get it done game by the Cowboys!!!

Dallas Cowboys "On the Verge" per Jimmy Johnson!!!

The Cowboys former coach Jimmy Johnson was in Dallas in preparation for the T-Day game between the Cowboys and the Raiders.

When asked about this years team he said that they were, ""Well, I think they're right there, on the verge."  Which wasn't a super ringing endorsement but it may be very accurate.  Are the Cowboys playing like world beaters right now?  The answer is no, but if the offense can mix the running game and the passing game and the defense can get off the field they can compete with anyone even the Vikings and the Saints.

NFL Newtork Re-playing Cowboys Dolphins T-Day Game in Snow!!!

The NFL Network is re-broadcasting at 9am EST the Dallas Cowboys Miami Dolphins Thanksgiving Day game from 1993 in its entirety.  This game will forever be known as the Leon Lett game where he tried to recover a missed field goal attempt and Miami was able to recover and win the game.

Its will be interesting to see Former Cowboys Coach Jimmy Johnson and coaching legend Don Shula go head to head.

No snow expected for today's game between the Cowboys and the Raiders.  Jerry Jones has fixed the hole in the roof!
