Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Jerome Bettis, Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell, John Riggins.

Upright runners just don't fare as well as traditional 'pads down' runners it just a fact. That doesn't mean that they can't succeed, just means that the deck is stacked against them.

BOZZY, sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, I lost two close friends in two weeks since Thanksgiving. And I lost my father during the holidays last year.

Keep the faith bro!

Good to see my boys representing over here on our rival fansite's board. I don't think this game will be as close as it was last time. I'm predicting a semi-blowout in DC.

Flee flicker wont work THIS time and Yes our D will handle your (giggle) run game once again! 27-13 Skins

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

I still dont understand why you cowboy fans are impelled to come here. We have a Cowboy fan here already...name 5rings.....1 is ENOUGH.

I see a close game no doubt, simply because we are the Cowboys and all we do is play close games. The key for Dallas is stopping Portis, bottom line. People may say different and try to evaluate our pass D or the way Moss had success in the last game we played but the bottom line is we need to stop the skins run. In the first meeting we basically stopped Portis and you see the problems the skins O had in that game. those bombs at the end in my opinion were a once in a lifetime type plays, I dont see it happeneing again. Im sure Parcells and the coaching staff will review the first game and try to implicate the same scheme and be more weary of the long ball. Stopping Portis and preassuring brunnell is the way we will beat the skins. What Im fearful of is that WE wont run the ball forcing us to throw, throw, throw and get into a situation where we are forced to score to keep us in the game. Plus our defense is the jeckel and hide of the NFL, we can look so diminant one week and then the next look like we dont know what we are doing. Our run D will tighten this week and we will win a close game, giving Julius Jones his first 100 yrd game of the year. Bledsoe will look bad through out the game but will throw the game winning TD late in the 4th. Dallas over the skins 17-14 GO DALLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the deck is'nt stacked against them , there just are'nt as many rbs with their stile compared to "low pad" rbs. but the "up right" rbs are just as successfull , just less of them out there.
