Cowboys running backs get 22 carries

6:04 PM Sun, Sep 13, 2009 |
Josh Harvey

The Cowboys three-headed monster backfield carried the ball 22 times, but was it enough? In this game, yes, in the future, probably not.

The Bucs made it a point to stop the run, and their secondary suffered for it. But, what happens next week when the Cowboys play the Giants? Their defense is good enough to stop both. Will Jason Garrett have the will power to pound the football?

Fans have been calling for Marion Barber to ...



Patrick Crayton expects the big play questions to not go away

Three touchdown plays: 42-yards, 66-yards, and 80-yards, long enough for you?

Tony Romo and the Cowboys wide receivers must have been tired of being asked whether they could replace Terrell Owens' big play ability, because the Cowboys scores came in big ways.

Asked after the game if we should expect to see 80-yard touchdown catches every week from Cowboys receivers, Patrick Crayton responded, "we'll see."



What is Romo's grade?

Tony Romo had a career day, a statement game that should end big play questions from the media for at least a couple weeks. But, were you happy with his first performance?

He didn't throw an interception or fumble the ball, but he still took some big risks. Ducking from pressure, he was almost picked off by Aqib Talib on the sidelines. His end zone throw to Martellus Bennett in the first half was way off the mark, he threw a ball up...



Cowboys defense looks suspect

3:31 PM Sun, Sep 13, 2009 |
Josh Harvey

How concerned are you with the Cowboys defense after week one? After going back and looking at the numbers a little harder, things definitely need to improve.

At first glance, giving up only 14 points is great, but Dallas gave up over 450 yards and 26 total 3e17dc3f-e69a...

Cowboy on opening day - as good as it gets

According to the NFL - the Cowboys rule on opening day. And they should improve that record against a Tampa Bay team that's re-building.

The DALLAS COWBOYS own a 33-15-1 (.688) record on Kickoff Weekend, the top mark in the NFL, including wins in a record 17 consecutive openers from 1965-81. The Cowboys have the league's best record in road openers at 31-18 (.633). In Week 2, Dallas will host the New York Giants on Sunday night in ...

Here are the inactives for the Bucs game. All you Kevin Ogletree fans out there will have to wait to see him on the field. And with all due respect to 3rd QB Stephen McGee and all his Aggie backers out there - he is literally the last guy Cowboy Nation wants to see in this game. Here you go:

3rd QB - #7 Stephen McGee
#36 S Mike Hamlin
#58 LB Jason Williams
#64 G Montrae Holland

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been fined a nice chunk of change for not abiding by a gag order on labor relations that commissioner Roger Goodell handed down to team ownership.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen has more on the story here.

Josh Harvey

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was fined $100,000 yesterday by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Supposedly he violated a gag order on labor issues last week when he stated that revenue sharing is "on its way out"

If I hear any more on this, I will pass it along later today.
