Miles Austin Makes First Pro Bowl

Congratulations to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, who made his first Pro Bowl. He joined five othMiles Austiner Dallas Cowboys in getting the nod for the Jan. 31 game.

The other Cowboys who will be heading to the Pro Bowl are Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware, Leonard Davis, Andre Gurode and Jay Ratliff.

Austin has had an amazing season so far. Like Tony Romo, he was a little-known player that went undrafted. Austin had just 19 catches last season, and he did not start in any game.

Also like Romo, Austin makes the Pro Bowl even though he did not begin the season as a starter. In 11 starts, Austin has gained 1,230 yards on 74 catches. That is tops in the NFC for yardage. He has 11 touchdowns so far. Included in those stats is Austin’s incredible 10 reception, 250-yard game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's that time of the year again!! That's right, this is the year of the Cowboy's - ain't nobody doin' it better this season ya heard!!!!

When people have their foundation repaired, they typically opt to take on other home repairs at the same time. These services often include pest control, earthquake proofing, and the installation of seismic anchor bolts. These services will cost you more money; however, it will allow you to have all the necessary services done at one time instead of at different times.

If they games end like this, and it looks like the important one will, the seeding will look like this.
1. New Orleans
2. Minnesota
3. Dallas
4. Arizona
5. Green Bay
6. Philadelphia

I really think we can beat ANYBODY next week except the Eagles. I hate this matchup. Beating a rival like this 3 times in a year is not easy. See the Giants 2 years ago. I don't think our coaching staff is good enough to put this game plan together. Hopefully, home field will be enough to get us over the hump. We are 6-2 there and if the seeds were flipped I would say we had no chance. However, I really think we are the best team in the league right now. At the very least, nobody is going in the playoffs hotter.

Well don't look like the Giants are going to help us any. Not they I expected they would which I am kinda glad. I don't really want them having the bye week because the defense is playing great and I would hate them to lose that during the bye week.

Yeah he says the right things but that is not what he is here for. Man if he was as good as his first year in the NFL this team would be scary. Hopefully the extra time on the throwing machine helped him this week because we really could use his hands.

Tired of people saying Felix isn't tough.

He was never injured once in college. He just had a couple of setbacks here and, while I was worried for a little bit, I think he's proven it's just a bad bit of luck.

We're really solid at HB, WR, TE, QB, CB, SS, DLine, LBs... We really need some help on the O-Line (old-line, for right now) and I'd like to get a playmaking safety to help force some turnovers. Our team's looking really good, even with roy playing really bad.

But Roy keeps saying all of the right things in the media that I just have to keep believing in him.

I agree but let's no forget there is more to being a reciever. One does he have decent hands. Also is he going to run good routes. We seen him in the slot before never used in those plays. Maybe there is something he is not doing right to give Wade and Garett complete trust in those situations. I also think he is a tough back he has the size and speed Adrian Peterson has just had a setback but he has done fine since then. I think Roy might be here another year I just hope they make him earn his position and let Olgtree take his place if he out plays him.

we should have FELIX JONES on the field every single play. barber and choice would be our primary rbs with FELIX opening up our passing game. he would give D-cords. fits matching him up. he would always create a mismatch or a single coverage situation. this would also be the answer to the roy williams delima as well. double coverages would role towards austin creating singles for roy and witten?????? anybody disagree???

in my opinion, i think our wr position is sitting there staring right in our face. FELIX JONES. we have one of the fastest rbs in the league with him. he runs well inside, but can't seem to hold up to the pounding. he's unstoppable in open field when he has a head of steam going. we need to get him in the slot and create mismatches with safteys and sometimes lbs. he'd be like eric metcalf, reggie bush, roger craig, etc.... i remember when tom landry brought in preston pearson. he said preston is too slow and not big enough to take a pounding as a everydown back. but he was his most valuable player by far in his passing scheme. we did'nt add any wr or te help those years, we just gave roger the greatest outlet option he could have had. landry was a genious at that. preston was basically a recycled player at that point of his career, but came up huge for us. so just look at what we have in FELIX?????? just wish we had a O-cord. smart enough to see it too.

don't see us drafting a wr early. maybe 1 or 2 late, or look at some undrafted freeagents? jerry will give roy another year to prove everyone wrong. austin has stepped up bigtime, and young guys like ogeltree are still waiting in the wings. and what about the kid from irvins tv show???? jesse holley......i still think that bennett needs to step up next year and take a big role in the offense along side of witten. in my opinion, that would be huge since we still seem set on this 2 te offense.

I tell you what the way Roy is playing if we had just kept our picks and use all them in draft on wide receivers we could have found a better one. I don't know what has happened to Roy but I really wish he would get going here. Lets hope Wade and Jerry really see something special waiting to break out soon. Oh and by the way NFL network has an interview on Wade Phillips with Micheal Irvin that looks like it might be good it comes on at 9AM Sunday.

Mehhh I disagree. I think the top tier wide receivers are easier to pick early. Less busts. I mean sure you have your Tedd Ginn Jrs but at least recently it seems as if the 1st round talent WRs are really turning out well.

Desean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Percy Harvin... Now granted 2 of the 3 supposedly had character issues, but now they're doing just fine. Would be interesting to expand this by 10 years and look at WR busts vs. HB busts.

Wide Receiver like Running Back are the same..You have just as much chance finding one in the later rounds than spending bid for one early..

They will not draft a wr within the first 3 rounds unless a top ten pick falls to them and even then probably not because that wr will have attitude issues...

Roy may have me believing in him again:

Damn guy just says all the right things...

ron..you see what you want to see..then again with the comments you just made..maybe you don't watch the cowboys..

Good to see Miles get some dues. I don't see him as a #1 reciever on a super bowl type team. Great #2 and can stretch the field. Need to draft the future #1 next. Make Roy either a solid #2,#3 or cut all depending on who they can get next year in the draft in a building process and how much money jerry wants to give roy to go away. next year as roy stays in this roll I see him becoming a problem pulling a huge salary and not a leading roll. Roy looks like a slow Michael Irvin on a bad day. He is not hungry and it shows.
