Miles Austin is, without a doubt, an incredible receiver. His first start was against Kansas City and he had 10 catches for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime.
When my father and I saw that last touchdown in our living room during the game, my jaw dropped and stayed there while my father’s eyes became the size of ping-pong balls.
He didn't stop there either. The ...
2010 NFL Mock Draft: Seattle Seahawks Select Okalahoma State OT Russell Okung
Posted: 1st March 2010 by James Williamson in NFL
á
This draft pick is probably the hardest draft pick of them all to analyze, due to a lot of variables surrounding the selection.
First off, it's a top ten pick. The good thing about that is that if a team has one glaring need, they can just grab that position usually because only a handful of players are out of the draft pool. So, odds are that they can just grab ...
Michael Oher Slapped in the Face by NFL Award Voters
Posted: 6th January 2010 by James Williamson in NFL
It is simply an injustice.
I would think that after years of John Madden on Sunday Night Football praising offensive linemen, the sportswriters and award voters would learn to give consideration to offensive linemen when it comes to prestigious awards.
Just recently, Percy Harvin waságiven the Offensive Rookie of the Year award for his contributions to the Minnesota Vikings as a wide receiver and kick returner.
Yet if one examines the statistics, they ...
Four Raiders On Semifinalist List For The Hall Of Fame
Posted: 29th November 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
Despite their recent slump, I have always had an infatuation with the mystique and history of the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders. To me, the Raiders are the greatest team of all time, not because of their three Super Bowls, but at how dominant they are at every position of the game. They have Hall of Famers at nearly every position from secondary to linebacker to defensive line on defense. ...
Is Cowboys’ Close Victory Over Redskins Reason To Worry?
Posted: 23rd November 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
The Redskins-Cowboys rivalry has always been intense.
The Redskins have three Super Bowls to go along with their two NFL Championships, while Dallas has five Super Bowl wins of their own.
However, to my great delight, the Redskins have struggled greatly as of late due to the ineptness of owner Daniel Snyder, who makes Al Davis not look half bad, and general manager Vinny Cerrato, who has neglected several key positions.á
The Redskins ...
Attention! Attention! Roy Williams Is Not a Bust!
Posted: 12th November 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
I repeat: Roy Williams is not a bust!
Anyone who watched the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday would see that Roy Williams is far from a bust, but rather an outstanding quality receiver.
He has not had a great year. He has 19 receptions for 324 yards and two touchdowns. He is the guy you donÆt want on your fantasy team, but he is the guy I want on our Cowboys roster.
Passing ...
Dallas Dominates Seattle; Is This Going To Be A Common Result?
Posted: 3rd November 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
Dallas followed up their dominating performance over the Falcons with a duplication against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Cowboys once again outplayed their opponent in all three phases of the game.á They were playmakers on offense, smothering on defense, and the special teams was the smoking gun to end the game for the second straight week.
Patrick Crayton followed a 74-yard punt return last week with an 82-yard punt return against Seattle that ...
Keys To Victory In A Must-Win For Dallas Against Atlanta
Posted: 23rd October 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
The Dallas Cowboys have really come off to a slow start this year. If you could cut out some of their mistakes, they would be 5-0 instead of 3-2.
However, we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it.
What did Dallas learn from its past?
First off, they signed Allen Rossum, the former 49ers punt and kick returner, to help improve plays on special teams. With Patrick Crayton muffing punts, ...
Why Tashard Has Been the Cowboys’ Key “Choice” at Running Back
Posted: 19th October 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
The Dallas Cowboys used to have three running backs that, I felt, were capable of starting on other NFL teams and could each take 20-plus carries a game.
However, Felix Jones is looking to be injury prone, which is heartbreaking for Cowboys fans, considering he could have won the Offensive Rookie of the Year last season and the lack of him on the field is easily noticed.
Without him, Dallas had to ...
The Cowboys Need To Stop Shooting Themselves In The BLEEP
Posted: 14th October 2009 by James Williamson in NFL
When the Dallas Cowboys won last Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, I was just happy they won the game. Dallas could go into its bye week with a 3-2 record and rest before taking on the Atlanta Falcons.
I was excited by Miles AustinÆs 250 yards receiving. I was excited that Tashard Choice got a chance to show his ability, and he was great. Choice gained 92 yards on eight ...
