I Need Help With This Site!
I'm asking anyone who is a fan of this site to become a co-writer for
it. I have a new job that will take away from the amount of time I can
put into this website. I'm probably only going to have time for a
couple of articles a week, which is hardly enough to keep visitors
coming back. All you would have to do is e-mail me the article and I
would be able to post it and give you credit for it.
Have your opinion heard! A different viewpoint would be great for
this site. Please e-mail me if your interested. My e-mail address is

| Cowboy's Trivia Question of the Week! What college did the Cowboys' last offensive 1st Round pick attend? Last Week's Answer: Vince Lombardi |
Breakin' Down the Roster: Running Backs
The second part of my series feature the running backs. This
appears to be one of the stronger positions on the team, but only
time will tell.
The biggest story going into next season at the running back
position will be how the workload is split up. Julius Jones tried to
blame Parcells for making him run like a robot, but the reality is
Parcells said several times last season that Jones was running too
much like a robot. He also complained about not getting the ball
enough in the second half of the season, but again, if the backup
RB is playing twice as good as you are, you aren't going to get as
many carries. I think that a lot of coaches would have actually went
with Barber as the starter the second half of last season so Jones
should be happy he even played as bad as he was performing.
Its really to early to know who will be the starter, but with a new
regime there won't be any special treatment given to Jones. He will
have to earn his playing time. I don't buy all the talk this past week
about how he will be improved next season. I've seen him for three
years now. He is only an average running back and he isn't going
to get much if any better.
The best aspect of this position is depth. Marion Barber is one of
the top backup running backs in the NFL. I think there is a pretty
good chance he starts next season though if Jones and him both
play about the same as they did last season. I think this guy is
ready to carry the load. The only flaw in his game is speed, but hey
is Julius Jones really that much faster? Jones has only broken one
long run in his three year career. I wouldn't call that a home run
hitter. Now he does have a better burst, but Barber is better in
every other aspect of the position. He is a better blocker, a better
receiver, he has more power, he has better vision, and he really
has more nimble feet.
The true home run hitter on this team is Tyson Thompson. I look
for him to finally get some carries this season. He would have
gotten some last season if he hadn't got hurt. He will never be a
starter because he lacks power and agility, but his open field speed
is down right scary.
Filling out the roster at running back is Alonzo Coleman. He was a
productive running back at Hampton who has a good combination of
skills. He probably won't make the team, but he appears to be a
likely candidate for the practice squad. I knew quite a bit about this
guy heading into the draft and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if this
guy was contributing for some team down the road.

THE T.O. COMMANDMENTS
By: Larry Petton
Rev. Terrell Owens is back in the pulpit and preaching loud again.
Can I get a witness? Now comes the revelation that Owens was not
exactly fond of Father Bill Parcells. Shocking, isn’t it? Parcells
retorts that he had no part in the Owens signing and that he was
forced to put up with T.O. Jerry Jones, can I get a witness?
Owens claims that Wade Phillips will be much better for the
clubhouse climate in Cowboy Country. I bet they will be holding
hands and singing “Kumbaya” before camp is over this summer.
Revival is here!
With Rev. Owens sharing his latest prophetic utterance, I would like
to add a little word about what might help the chemistry in this year’
s edition of Doomsday. Call it….the T.O. COMMANDMENTS. I am
not claiming divine inspiration.
I. FIRST COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT LOVE THY TEAM
ABOVE THYSELF. T.O. is the consummate team-less player. All
that seems to matter is that he is the center of the Universe. Until
he repents of that attitude, look for the Cowboys playoff drought to
continue. Remember, Rev. Owens, there is no “I” in T.O.
II. SECOND COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT NOT KILL TEAM
UNITY. Real stars bring teams together. What did you do to a
talented Philly team that just came off a Super Bowl? What kind of
climate did you build in the Cowboy clubhouse last year?
III. THIRD COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT NOT STEAL THE
SPOTLIGHT. Here is a word from the Lord: it’s not about you,
Brother Terrell. Why do you insist on making every game a display
of your drama? You have made the NFL into a soap opera: ”As
The World Turns Around T.O.” Boring.
IV. FOURTH COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT COVET A RING.
Why don’t you focus on winning the Big Dance? When you stack
your career against that of Jerry Rice, one thing is obviously
missing…no rings for T.O.
V. FIFTH COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT HONOR THY COACH.
Why do you always have to be in conflict with someone in
authority? You have one more chance with a great guy in Wade
Phillips. Don’t screw it up…you are not getting younger.
VI. SIXTH COMMANDMENT – THOU SHALT DO THY TALKING
ON THE FIELD. If only you could catch passes with your mouth,
you would never miss a single pass. Who could miss that
bottomless pit? How about following the example of Tony Dungy?
Keep your mouth shut…..be a man…..produce on the field. Only
then will you get the respect you covet. We are really tired of your
act.
Judgment Day is here, Preacher Owens. The 2007 season
draweth nigh. You are with a talented Cowboys’ team that could go
all the way to the top…..or to the bottom. Let’s see your stuff.
Hopefully, it will be different than last year’s sermon. That one put
me to sleep…kind of like the way you felt in Parcell's team meetings.
Amen.
