GO COWBOYS!!!
WEEK 5 - Houston Texans vs Dallas Cowboys
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, Oct 5 - 12:00 PM (CST)
Did you watch the game last week??? Please tell me you did!!
If you're too young to know what it was like to cheer for the Dallas Cowboys in the early 90's... this is a glimmer of what that felt like. Glimmer. We've won 3 games in a row! Life-changing for Cowboys fans!! And now Saints fans know how we've felt for years!!
The Cowboys run ruled the Saints... 38-17! I love Drew Brees, but it was a hard game to watch!
Tony Romo, on the other hand, was so much more mobile and confident!! He has gotten better every game, which is hopeful for us as fans! Maybe he'll have a break-out year like Peyton Manning did last year after his neck surgery, which no one thought he would come back from? Either way, I think laying off his golf game and focusing on football is working out well for Romo! Props, Sir!
This week... vs the Houston Texans...
~ Have you heard the name J.J. Watt before? If you read this blog, you have. He's quite possibly the best Defensive player in the league! We've all oooo'd and awwww'd over Richard Sherman, Clay Matthews, Ray Lewis... but J.J. may be in a league of his own. Dude isn't just fast, but strong. He will do everything in his power to break up our passing game, get to Romo and try to sack him, and stop DeMarco Murray. He's a tornado of defense.
Can we stop him?
~ Can I get an Amen for our Offensive Line?? Talk about it! Finally... big dudes up front that are blocking like mad men and giving Romo time to throw! Brilliant. Doug Free. Zach Martin. Ronald Leary. Travis Frederick. Watch what these guys did to honor our late Coach, and one of the greatest ever, Tom Landry.
~ Dallas Defense... We lost Morris Claiborne to an injury last week. It's what you get for pouting. Bruce Carter, our Defensive Linebacker is day to day with a quad injury. We need him back, he was a beast against the Rams with 12 tackles, an interception and a TD.
Bottom Line: Balanced Offense. Strong Defense. This is what we're working towards. Romo and Murray tag teaming. Jason Witten finally had more of a role in Week 4, this is a great thing and we need him against the Texans! Blocking, running, everything! Stay healthy! We have too many guys going down early with injuries. Let's Gatorade up boys... stay hydrated... do yoga and ride the bike on the sidelines! (Talking as though I've ever played that hard in my life. ha!)
Cowboys on 3... 1, 2, 3... COWBOYS!
