Dallas Cowboys – Still Alive!

The pulse of the Dallas Cowboys… The Dallas Cowboys are still alive and kicking… The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Redskins and have received an incredible boost by ensuring that the quarterback issue and Tony Romo will not be the reason to lie down and die.

The Dallas Cowboys defense was stellar in their efforts against the Washington Redskins, they kept Clinton Portis under 100 rushing yards, and they hit or don’t hit any day you can keep Clinton Portis under 100 yards is a great day. The Dallas Cowboys have been giving up rushing yards like I handed out candy on Halloween, so this was huge!

The Dallas Cowboys have, in my opinion, at least 7 professional bowlers in their defensive unit, whether or not they play up to their potential is unclear, but if they do, regardless of their record when they reach the playoffs, they will be the most formidable team in the playoffs. Notice I said when and not if.

D’Marcus Ware, Terrance Newman, Jay Ratliff, Marcus Spears, Tank Johnson, Greg Ellis and Zach Thomas, who is bidding to be the leading tackler. I left out Bradie James, Chris Canty, Anthony Henry (who gets burned every game) and Adam “Pacman” Jones, clearly someone we can’t dictate whether or not he’ll be part of the Dallas Cowboys defense for the same obvious and consistent reasons.

Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh will be the next test of grit for this team, unless they decide to collapse against the San Francisco 49ers or Seattle Seahawks at home, and over the Thanksgiving break, which by the way would give me more heartburn and stomach ache than my wife’s turkey and potatoes. The Philadelphia Eagles in the last game of the season in Philly seems like the only other game the Dallas Cowboys could implode in Philly, it’s always tough at home.

I hope they beat the NY Giants and make them vulnerable at just the right time, I also hope they crush the Baltimore Ravens, sorry Willis McGahee, friend or not, you’re going down. Tony Romo will get better as we go through the next few weeks here, and I hope they find creative ways to get Terrell Owens and Roy Williams on the ball in the next few weeks. These next two pieces of equipment are exactly the type of equipment needed to explore and experiment. Lonestar D returns to the game.
