Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
Stephen Bowen, Kedric Golston, and Adam Carriker have combined for 11 sacks this year. How many times do those guys beat the OL cleanly and get to the QB? Never.
It's the Orakpo/Kerrigan rush effect that's creating those opportunities.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
I hate the inconsistency of our secondary play, but in comparison to the issues in the offense, this only becomes a nuisance. I would bet money that if Hall wasn't involved in this discussion (i.e. he wasn't on our roster), people wouldn't be complaining much about the secondary.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
So, my memory has been triggered and I realized that the Texans won because our choking kicker kicked a beauty WIDE RIGHT last year and cost us 7-9 record (and a sexy trade down in the draft). Same spot. Same situation. Only thing different is that Gano wasn't iced by those 'Boys. **** Gano. Two wins down the ****ing toilet because of him(yes, I know about the draft position, yes, I'm happy with Kerrigan. But I can't help myself). And if and when our team does get better and we're duking out a tough battle in which the score is just as close, do you really want to trot the punk loser out there? He's got a very generous extended audition to be a franchise kicker, and he's proven only that he's a Suisham with a bigger leg. The only thing he's helped us with is getting a potential franchise pass rusher and a potential franchise QB.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
Ummm, I'm not quite sure what exactly I'm not serious about?

Oh I see. So I guess you forgot about Gano's 3 GW field goals in OT last year. At least two of which were just under 50 yards long.

Even so, his glorious moments are still tempered by his gaffes, such as that kick in Houston and his missed XP.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
I suspect some kickers like it when they get frozen the first time because they then "know" how to kick it on the second try. It should not be that difficult to replicate the motion on the first try.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
I've also got some smack for Tashard Choice. He has an 8 yard run and gets up and starts yelling at the Dallas sideline like he just broke Walter Payton's record. What an idiot. It's one 8 yard run you stupid fool. Go back to the huddle and be lucky that anyone picked up your sorry ass. So tired of that crap. Shanahan handles RB's like John Gruden handles QB's. He falls in love with a different guy every other week. I hope we cut his ass. Shoudn't be picking up Cowboy rejects anyway. This crap would never have happened in the old days.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)
Regarding Hall.
I like he is saying the right things about yesterdays game. But fact is he is absolutely horrible this year. he is at a 70% coverage rate i think is what I read today. What I can't stand about him is he runs his mouth non freaking stop and quite honestly hasnt backed any of that shit up in all most two years. Dez got him twice last night on huge plays. And he couldn't run down Whitten from behind. I am just really sick of the guy. I use to like him, but the last two years have been absolutely a joke when it comes to his coverage skills. He plays way to far off at the line - I have no idea why he continues to do that and why someone hasn't said something about it. He turns and runs as soon as the ball is snapped. When the WR stops or turns in, they are ALWAYS wide open. |

You know that's interesting. I was thinking the same thing the other day... then I realized, MAYBE IT'S WHAT THE COACHES TELL HIM TO DO. If the coaches wanted him to play near the line, they would. Why does every fan think they know so easily where to lay the blame? J |
