Dallas Cowboys Pound Browns

by Cowboys

Was it just me or did it seem like every time Dallas Cowboys rookie Felix Jones touched the ball he ran for 10 yards? Tell me I wasn’t dreaming. 

The Cowboys went into the DawgPound today and made the Browns look like 2007 flukes. They completely mutilated these guys. One good thing was the Cowboys game out of the gates looking good. Last season, if you remember, we had a lot of slow starts. Maybe that won’t happen this year, because fast starts are important for success. 

A few game notes:

  • Yes, Felix Jones looked awesome. He’s a great compliment to this team’s offense. It appears the Cowboys will be using a two-back system more than many had anticipated after Jones’ fast start. It was funny, too, because when I saw his first run, a touchdown, I had a quick brain response that it was Julius Jones. Uhh, thank god it was not.
  • Tony Romo looked like he may have had a mild concussion after one hit. He wasn’t sacked the entire game, but there was a lot of pressure. Romo also threw an interception because Felix is still having a lot of trouble blocking. He got pummled and Romo, who started tghe game 9 for 9, had to rush the throw. 
  • Jason Witten, the NFL’s best tight end, dropped an easy pass, but he still had 6 catches for 96 yards, which led the team. 
  • DeMarcus Ware got one sack and Ken Hamlin had a nasty hit. 
  • Marion Barber looked really good, and had two touchdowns. 
  • Penalties. Way too many. The Cowboys had 11 damn penalities, and that’s always a sign of poor discipline, which I’ve grumbled about here regarding Camp Cupcake. 
Overall, pure domination of a good team, or at least a team that is supposed to be good. It’s not easy going into a place like Cleveland and coming away with a win like that. Certainly, the game was a good sign for the Cowboys and a real positive start to this season.

Deshaun Jackson was nasty in his debut and gave me 10 points in fantasy but he wont be jumping over Henry or Pacman this week.

Don't worry, Romo didn't have a concussion.  It's an easy mistake to make however; people's eyes just naturally start to glaze over like that after dating Jessica Simpson for too long.

Seriously though, congrats on a convincing win.  I'm with SBorBust in that I think Cleveland is overrated, but even if that's true you did exactly what you're supposed to do when you're playing a weaker team.  We'll see how you do against the Eagles next week.  They looked a little scary.  Of course, anyone can look good against the hapless Rams.

Great win by our boys,  the penalties need to be taken care of though. The offence looked good for the most part even though we weren't at 100%. Imagine when we are at 100%. I dont even want to hear Ian coming here to talk smack cause the rams look like a div II college team. The Cowboys will show how fake the eagles really are. Bring on the E-gals.

Read an article that said Barber's x-rays were negative and that he should be back next week.  I told yall that felix was outstanding and was the right pick over mendenhall.  Dallas offense looked unstopable, but im ready for newman to come back cause i thought the secondary could have done better.

Cleveland is pathetic.  Don't put any more faith in what you saw today than what you saw in the preseason.  Every team in the NFL will pummel that defense.  However, our defense is for real, as is Cleveland's offense.  Philly should be concerned when they see this film.

Pretty pleased with the W. Felix needs some work in the pass blocking department, there were times when our tackling wasn't outstanding and our secondary wasn't as airtight as I'd hoped (I really didn't like seeing Orlando Scandrick lined up opposite Braylon Edwards) but I'm glad the game went the way it did. We won, but there's room for improvement. I'd love to hear about a tough week of practice leading up to this first MNF game.

Anybody see much of Mike Jenkins? I saw him once on punt coverage or something but other than that, I didn't see the kid at all. Anybody?
