How much could he help?

As you know, each week we select a question or two from the Landry Hat readers and ask our panel of esteemed writers and contributors to give us their sagacious opinions.  This article is getting so popular, even Seth Jones couldn’t resist participating this week despite being somewhere in Cambodia scouting a 14 year old who kicks coconuts 45 yards.

Our first question this week is from Ben who actually cheated by asking TWO questions, but we thought his query about the secondary was apt this week, so we answered both.

Ben, San Antonio, Texas: Over the 2 weeks that have passed, we have played bad defense vs QB’S like Rex Grossmen and Matt Moore. What do you think Rob Ryan has to do to fix all the mistakes in the secondary before facing QB’s like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees if we get to playoffs?

Also vs dolphins, the Cowboys had 11 PENALTIES!!!, how can  we fix that?

This week’s question led to quite a difference of opinion between our writers.  Seth has suggested that the differences should be settled by holding a single-elimination tournament of full-contact chess.  The Landry Hat has instructed its lawyers to determine our liability if such a contest were to occur.  Hopefully our insurance covers it.  We will keep you posted.

Why is quarterback Matt Moore stealing your girlfriend cheerleader in a Lambo?

I ntroduction:

Thanksgiving means many things. It means great weather (In Texas, anyway). It means great food. It means that you will see family members that you really don’t see very often. Even the bad ones. But somehow, the NFL has managed to muscle it’s way into this holiday like a bear moon walking through a flock of flamingos. At some point in American history, Thanksgiving Day became synonymous with football. And who can complain? Football makes turkey taste better. And turkey makes football more fun to watch. I think that Pat Summerall’s career benefited greatly from this. Sometimes when I used to watch Pat Summerall call a game, I would think that a turkey was in the booth. (more…)

This pic has nothing to do with the article, but her facial expression deserves the front page.

I will list the things that stood out to me as I watched the game, and then conclude with my thoughts about Rob Ryan’s defense and the secondary.

When I read some of the game reviews this week, I was pretty surprised at how unhappy the Cowboy fans were. I sometimes think the fans will only be happy when we score at least 30 and hold the opposition to under 10 every game. I don’t think they played awesome, but I do think that holding a hot Miami team to 19 is better than average.
