ESPN Says Cowboys Have NFL’s Top Defense

STEAM IS BACK!

Well said Dan. I think you have hit the nail on the head with your analysis of the game, and I also agree about how the recievers were "cushioned" too much. Those little guys need to be jammed at the line of scrimmage and roughed up a little before building up a full head of steam. DeSean Jackson looked pretty good last night with the exception of that one idiotic play, but if he would have been met at the line of scrimmage I really do believe his play would have been quite the opposite. The game plan let him beat the defense. The battle was won also though by the Philadelphia front. Yea, pressure was coming off the outside and Ratliff had a few big ones, but McNabb had way too much time to throw the ball in most cases. I think it is time to be more aggressive up front, and if that means bringing more inside pressure from the linebackers, then so be it. Be aggressive and stop being so cush in the defensive strategy. 41 points offensively pulled the Cowboys through, so I don't have too much to say about the offense, but that fumble in the endzone didn't go unnoticed by any means. At least Romo was man enough to fess up to his flawed play, but for the most part, he was damn good. And it was the DEFENSE that bailed his ass out ROOSTER. At the end of the second and at the end of the fourth they came through. They came through when the pressure was on and that was the reason this game was another Cowboys victory. But who's keeping count. Really?

Rooster, the defense did not do that bad. I just watched the tape again. The score is deceiving. You see 37 points and you think it was all because of poor defense. One touchdown came from the bogus PI call on Henry. Another 7 points came from Romo's fumble. Another 7 points came from Roy Williams being Roy Williams. There's 21 points that just wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, and if Williams was demoted. His injury might be a blessing, as sad as that sounds. 

Yeah your defense was terrific against an Eagles team without its two starting receivers.  Way to go Big D.  You really do have the number one defense!!!!

i'll hit the poll, but hey, i'm getting some shit on ian's inside hole, and have been tossin some back. that guy does not know football at all. it's obvious when he made some qoutes about me not knowing what kind of punishment lito and westbrook have been takin for those asshole eagles and not getting compensated for it. i tild them if the eagles don't pay em. they'll lose em just like they did with owens. we got him and know how to keep him happy and productive......that proves we got what it takes to turn the corner and winn this year. they seem to think i don't know what i'm talkin about.....oh, well, we all know where our boys are goin this year

NFL.com and NFL Network say the Cowboys are tops in the NFC. Watch this clip that was included in 32 Teams In 32 Days. This is part of what I was asking you previously Dan. I couldn't find the whole video, but this is a clip from the show. Fans all over the world submitted an online power ranking of the NFL and the numbers were tallied. This clip has some analyist commentary, but the numbers were determined by what us everyday fans submitted.

Also, you guys need to go in the forum and read the latest post I put up. Nobody goes there anymore except the Chiefs and Dolphins bloggers it seems, and Staubach and I would like to get you guys to come in once in while, as well as Dan I am sure. Need you guys to do me a favor and take care of that poll that all these douches are saying that the Eagles and Vikings are the best in the NFC. The Cowboys only have a vote or two, and I think we can do better than that. Come on guys. Give 'em Hell.

Oh yeah, im over in Fort Smith.

Little Rock. I'm about to move back to Houston, though

That was almost exactly what i told him.  Yeah it sucks I have no one to talk about the NFL with cause all they care about is college.  I mean i love the razorbacks but i would spit on them if it meant the cowboys would win a super bowl (well maybe I wouldnt go that far).  Were at in Arkansas?

Yes, I live in Arkansas, too, Tiddy. These guys here seem to have little knowledge of sports at the national level. They are so focused on the Razorbacks that they miss out on the obvious. It's frustrating! The Giants were hot last year, and were the better team on that miserable playoff game day. But we are the better team, and we will beat them twice again this year in the regular season and also the playoffs if we face there. They didn't blow us out in that game, just played well enough to win. I am convinced that, with our upgrades on offense (Felix Jones, hopefully healthy Glenn) and defense (secondary, Zack Thomas), we will be a formidable opponent to every team we face. Giants, Schmiants!!

A guy here wrote in the Arkansas Gazette about how the Giants are the best team in the NFC East and how they were gonna win the division.  I wrote a letter to the editor explaining to him why he is an idiot and why the Cowboys are gonna wreck house this year.  I gave hard facts about what the Cowboys have done to improve from an already loaded team last year and how the Giants have lost people and have done nothing to get better.  He wrote back saying that anything could happen thats why the Giants won it last year.  He couldnt come up with any reasons why the Giants would win just that anythings possible, what a moron!!!!

if you guys can find it read what AP sports writer, dave goldberg wrote on 7/17/o8 about how "the giants are getting little respect" . not sure what paper our column he writes for, but it is AP sports, so it should be national. he's a cowboy hater it seems. loves the giants, i guess???? we'll see. he'd get crucified here!!!!!!!!!!!!! i read it on rtsports fantasy football news sight

As far as Offense goes were he biggest threat in the NFL. 
To make us an Unsoppable threat we need one of these young recievers to step up like Crayton did last year. Crayton is itching to get back on the field and redeem himself for his only mistake he made last year. Which makes me feel even better becasue Crayton proved he can be a solid #2 guy when we needed him to step up. And this year hes coming out with an even hungrier attitude, so watch out! If we can just get a decent speedster to rise out of these young guys, Then buy a Super Bowl Ticket

ESPN nailed it on our D. If the pass rush is anything like it was last year (which should improve even more) Then the opposing QB is gonna have to pick which guy in the secondary diserves a INT and ESPN highlight. 

I feel ya star...I still got a bad taste in my mouth from the NY playoff game. Revenge is a dish best served COLD.

the season can't get here soon enough!!

We are better than that, we are better than every team in the NFL Rooster. Go Crow at that bud.

So, line to linebackers to secondary, whose defense is better?

ESPN saying you have the best defense and actually having the best defense is two completely different things.  Come on guys, your better than that.

Our only weak spot last year was in the backfield. We have enough to hide Roy Williams limitations. This team has the ability to withstand injuries. Beautiful

FIrst.

I smell championship.

thats it, bingo, thats what we needed was the respect on the D side of the ball. face it thats what "really" killed us the last couple of seasons. yeah the offen. has played great and then kinda fizzed out at the end of the year, but thats when the great teams seem to go on because their Ds carry the weight. thats why they say D wins championships. now we got the right ingredients to make the cake and eat it too.
