With a $4 million roster bonus due next week ($8 million total base salary due for 2010), the Arizona Cardinals brass will no doubt be racking its brains trying to figure out what to do with its Pro Bowl safety Antrel Rolle; either pay the man or release him. The Cowboys, who are in need of a playmaking free safety, should keenly be watching what develops with Rolle and the Cardinals. Click ...

When you're down, turn that frown upside down. At least that's the concept, right? For wide receiver Roy Williams,áwhen youráseason has only been an incremental improvement on last year's dud of a debut, all you can do is smile. Roy giveth and he taketh away.á For every touchdown caught, he's seemingly drops an equally important pass.áRoy had another inexplicable drop last night against the Redskins. His only reaction to the play was to flasháhis ...

Looks like an early Christmas wish has been given to Cowboy fans. Per profootballtalk.com (whom I despise), placekicker Nick Folk has gotten the boot in preference of just released kicker Shaun Suisham. Suisham has a prior history with the Cowboys, having kicked for them in six games over the course of two seasons (2005-06). Suisham can relate to Folks recent misery, having been given his walking papers by the Redskins shortlyáafter missing a ...

Snap Count's Week 13 observations: ARI 30, MIN 17 The Vikings are who I thought they were; a pretty good, but not great team that plays in a weak division.á They have a look of a team that will be one and done come playoff time. Vikings' linebacker E. J. Henderson leg injury was pretty disturbing.á However, the all time worst leg injury I've ever seen was the one suffered by former Raiderárunning ...

Call them gutless. Call them heartless. Call them underachievers. Whatever it might be, call it December; the proverbial monkey is on the CowboysÆ back and is looking to sink in the rear-naked choke. Folks, this could get ugly. With a chance to sink the Giants' postseason hopes, and put distance between themselves and the Eagles, the Cowboys came up painfully short again. (Cue theánational mediaásaddling this loss on Tony Romo in 3à2à1à) Once again, against the Giants, ...

The feeling of impending doom hit me pretty early in the Cowboy 17-7 loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. Right when Nick Folk missed that 38-yard field goal on the Cowboys'áfirst drive was when I felt the lug nuts start loosening on the wheels. Only when Felix failed to recover that fumble in the fourth quarter did the wheels officially come off. They were clearly beaten, bruised and battered by ...

With a crucial win over the division rival Eagles last Sunday night, the Cowboys made it official: They're rollin' . During the course of their current four-game win streak, the Cowboys (6-2, first in NFC East) faced and answered a new challengeáonáweekly basis. Can theyárebound from the disappointing loss in Denver and beat a tin can like the Chiefs? Can they beat a legitimately good opponent like Atlanta? Can they slay an old demon and ...

Perhaps lost in the hysteria created by Miles Austin's meteoric rise; Romo's improved game managementáand the Cowboys'ásubsequent four game win streak, is a player on the defensive side of the ball thatámight quietlyábe making the biggest impact of them all. Cowboys' second year cornerback Mike Jenkins is flat-out ballin' (as they say). In fact, Jenkins' stellar playátraces back to the start of the season when he was named starter for the ...

Want to know if Garrett is truly a red-headed genius? This week's matchup against the Eagles' Asante Samuel will be an indicator. A stock route the Cowboys love to run is the simple comeback or curl route.á The curl route has the receiver run what looks like a go, straight up the sideline 10-15 (or whatever predetermined depth).á They then curl and comeback toward the quarterback.á The Cowboys like to have ...

LetÆs get something straight; Roy Williams is a good receiver. What Jerry Jones gave up in order acquire him and the amount of the extension he immediately paid him is inconsequential. Roy Williams is a good receiver. ItÆs seems that Cowboy Nation has found its latest gripe to unite around: Bench Roy Williams! Since the trade mid-season last year, here are WilliamsÆ sobering numbers with the Cowboys: 15 games 31 receptions 428 yards 2 TDs By ...
