Dallas already has 2 Pro-Bowlers and a solid receiver on IR, and now they’re adding a 1st-round pick. They’ve also lost Miles Austin for 2-4 weeks with a sprained knee. So it looks like Isaiah Stanback will be returning kickoffs again, and Patrick Crayton will be the third receiver in all offensive sub-packages.

I like Crayton, and I think Stanback and Choice can do what’s needed of them, so Dallas’ depth may have saved their season. But they can’t take many more injuries.

But now let’s take a look at the numbers. So far this season, his overall production in terms of yards has been solid. He gets 4.0 yards per carry on 19.6 carries per game. He’s on pace for 1,264.4 yards rushing this year, and on pace for 484.8 yards receiving. Those aren’t superstar numbers, but it’s good solid production, and in an offense that relies on the passing game, it’s plenty. But here’s a concern. He has 6 fumbles. That’s an awful lot in 10 games. So let’s take a closer look at that part of his adjustment to the starting role.

So what are the Titans? They’re 10-0, which is impressive, but they haven’t really played a good team yet. They caught the Colts (currently 6-4) in that period when they were really struggling, and won a game at Baltimore (also 6-4 now). And they’ve played tough, close games against 5-5 teams on a couple of occasions. And they beat the Vikings soundly. That’s all good. No complaints there. In 5 games against average to slightly better than average teams, they’ve gone 5-0 with 4 very tough wins. But what would happen if they had to play a really good team, like the Giants, Skins, Cowboys, Steelers, Panthers or Bucs? I don’t think they could win those games. I think the Titans are a good team, and if they can beat the Jets this weekend (and that’s a big IF), they’ll have a chance at 14-0, considering that their next 3 games will be @Detroit, Cleveland, and @Houston. But then they’ll have to play the Steelers.

The Skins came into the game averaging 348.3 yards of total offense per game. The Cowboys held them to 228. The run D was solid all night, the pass rush was strong and consistent, and the coverage was good in the secondary. But let’s break it down and look at the Cowboys run defense, pass defense, and scoring defense separately.

Last night few people paid attention to the Mavericks win over the Spurs. Most of the nation tuned in to watch history being made in a different type of competition. A wannabe round baller whose game pales in comparison to former Senator Bill Bradley did something Dollar Bill could not do, won enough votes to become our next President. (more…)

It was a fun ride while it lasted. Pleasant Grove’s 2008 football team went undefeated for 8 weeks to begin the season. No team in school history had ever done that. They had hoped to go 10 and 0, but last night the New Boston Lions ended the streak at eight games. (more…)
