Sorry, I can't claim credit for it. If I recall it was originally posted by Malcom - I grabbed it and threw it up on my webserver for future reference and the benefit of posterity.

Well bless you because I missed it the first time. I saw it live and the commentators had a field day with it. Posterity is a gooooood thing!

yeah, but isn't Drew Bledsoe your QB? Who is waiting in the wings for when he surely gets hurt? I think Dallas has a very good D which will help win them some games, but the offense...yikes... TO will be crying before week 4.

i agree, if bledsoe goes down and henson is the man behind center the boys will be in trouble!

I'm not going to say you are, but it seems that the collective Cowboy Nation is blowing Anthony Fasano. What I read in draft reports about him is that he's the best blocking tight end in the draft. I heard nothing about him being a stellar receiver. I think he'll make the running game better, but I really doubt he's going to be an offensive weapon. Speaking on the Redskins-Cowboys game only. The Skins never really needed to put extra people in the box to prevent RBs from going nuts. The Skins front four is extremely dominant. With the exception of MAYBE two big runs in overtime, LT himself was fairly quiet. And Julius Jones is NO LT. I think TO might make the game closer than we'd like to think and honestly and here comes the cliche, whoever wins the turnover battle wins this game. Both defenses are going to be great and who makes the fewest mistakes win. It'll be brutal, no doubt. If I were, god forbid, a Cowboys fan, my only concern would be so many rookies on defense.

No man Fasano is more of a passing TE great on the second line blocking according to reports that's why on the beggining they where trashing Parcell's pick of fasano because they said we allready have a passing TE in Witten who is a pro bowler, after parcell made clear we're going to go full time with the 2 TE set the pick made sense the idea is to not let the defenses charge 1 side.

and our backup is Romo not henson and as ther said if either QB goes down we both have inexpirience replacements, but I have more confidance of drew making it the hole season than Brunnell

I'd agree with you there. I think we're all concerned about that one. Still though, I know Parcells said it, but that doesn't make Fasano any better of a receiver than he was in college. I just take exception to the fact that he only had something like 8 TDs in his career. I also read how his speed was something not to be desired.

well he had a 4.71 40's wich is average for TE not really fast but not slow. the analysis is that he doesn has explosive speed... great hands good route runner wich is great because your first target in tha toffesne is Witten as a TE fasano is a guy to take away presure and if teams are concentrating a lot on witten you can still hurth them with fasano.

But I dont expect him to have 800 yard season.

I've heard of blocking TEs and receiving TEs, but a passing TE? Wouldn't he look kind of out of place in the pocket?

Funny video of Terry Glenn aside, I'll grant that you do have some offensive weapons, primarily receivers. TO can open things up for everyone, I agree. Unfortunately it wouldn't matter if TO is 30 yards from the nearest defender if your QB is lying flat on his back starting at the clouds.

All the offensive weapons in the world won't do jacksquat with your porous offensive line. You were ranked 4th overall last season in sacks allowed, right behind Houston, Minnesota and the New York Jets. The last time we played Dallas, Bledsoe got nailed what, 7 times?

Not to sound so cliche, but both games this season will come down to how well the Dallas offensive line does. The key to TO, or Glenn, or Fasano or Jones is not coverage in the secondary, it's pressuring Bledsoe.

I don't follow Dallas news, but have they done anything to fix the atrocious O-line?

yeah man but that was aftger Adams went down and we had crap at both Tackle position how many sacks did your tea mgot in the first meeting when all the players where healthy ...... 0

and well we have Adams back, sign Fabini to cover the other Tackle position and sign Kosier to take over Allens spot and after the first mini camp wich it isn't much the line looks good Adams a little rusty hope he get it 100% by tranning camp.
