Hard Knocks: Week 3

By Richie Whitt, Thursday, Aug. 21 2008 @ 8:00AM
Comments (13)
Categories: Dallas Cowboys
I give it a B- so far.

The five best moments from last night’s Hard Knocks: Week 3. Or did I miss something?

5. Jerry Jones and Sports Illustrated’s Peter King talking – I think – while munching popcorn. Free Sportatorium T-shirt to anyone who provides me an accurate transcript of that abomination. (Editors note: Sportatorium T-shirts are, at press time, nothing more than a concept item.)

4. DeMarcus Ware sharing a genuine, tender moment with his wife and adopted daughter via computer webcam. Maybe I’m growing a vagina, but it was neat to see a Pro Bowl monster also being a daddy.

3. Pacman Jones reading aloud his letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And I quote, “I feel like I’ve turned a corner and I can assure you I will not repeat my mistakes.” Believe him?

2. Tony Romo singing on the practice field. Seriously, man, Jessica must sound like Patsy Cline when they warble to each other at home. Or as Terrell Owens so delicately put it, “Bro, you’re tone deaf.”

1. To me, this episode – and the most intriguing aspect of HBO’s footage – was all about the coaches being candid. Hearing offensive coordinator Jason Garrett say “I’d be scared to death if he ever had to play in a game that meant anything” (my guess: Richard Bartel), hearing linebackers coach Reggie Herring say “He’s been a bum the whole camp” (my guess: Bobby Carpenter) and hearing defensive coordinator Brian Stewart say “It looks like he can’t tackle” (my guess: Orlando Scandrick) was priceless. -- Richie Whitt

The Kneecap says:

5. I'm really getting tired of Jerry stealing TO's popcorn bit.

4. Very cool moment indeed.

3. I'm still wondering who wrote the letter for him.

2. Tony can't sing and TO can't act.

1. I think Rowdy has had a better NFL career than Bobby Carpenter.

Fraggy says:

i was at the big shindig at texas stadium last night, so i haven't had a chance to watch hard knocks, yet. one thing i noticed at the practice is that martellus bennett seemed as lackadaisical and disinterested in person as he does on hard knocks. if he wasn't a 2nd round pick with a big signing bonus, i can't imagine they would be putting up with his crap.

5 ~ everybody loves popcorn, don't hate.

4 ~ demarcus is my fav, so of course it was nice to see him have a moment with his wifey and new baby - it doesn't mean ur growing a V... women like sensitivity anyways!

3 ~ Like kneecap, I too am wondering who wrote the letter for him

2 ~ Neither Jessica or Tony can sing, but at least Tony can throw a ball

1 ~ This is a strong coaching team

Go 'Boys!

For all of you with a boner over Roy Williams, in particular one not very smart posting fool Scott. Please take in these stats about our resident fatass that plays saftey. 2 Linebackers out with injury, an emerging saftey in Courtney Brown equals Roy at Linebacker? If he can't play Linebacker maybe try him at Nose Guard. Now that I think about it he may not be quick enough for that either. When is cut day?

5. Jason Garretts brother begging Martellus Bennett to please tuck in your shirt...come on..pretty please..with sugar on top

4. Martellus Bennett saying. "I cant do that coach. I can't play with my shirt tucked in

3. Dave Campo saying that Mike Jenkins had "lost his mind" during the Denver game.

2. Roy Williams again trying to sneak in T O's room an getting caught... Seriously, is this what they do for fun at OU these days..God I miss Barry Switzer! My God!

1. Dave Campo and Wade's special moment when Campo was awkwardly shirtless in the hot tub!

"Name that....", I agree, Roy looks good. I noticed on Hard Knocks that Roy seems to be tight with TO, so that's good also.

I always look for when the defensive star players get along with the offensive star players.

Name that Dude Singing Like a Rolling Stone says:

Proving once again your fatass38 arguments are invalid and that is a washed up has been and not one of the games greats as you paint him out to be. Getting along with offensive players isn't going to help this defense win games and it certainly isn't going to help when the opposing teams gameplan is to find the fatass38 and throw right at him. Afterall there are only 4 other safteies in the league out of 72 that have a worse completion percentage against than he does. Basically Roy is better than 5.5% of all the other safteies in the league at pass coverage. He's lost the ability to tackle as well, unless its a horsecollar. All the fluff pieces on Fatass38 do is show that's all he's got is to be a clown.

Scott says:


"Name..."

Has it occurred to you that he might have purposely setup opposing NFL teams for this Superbowl year to do just that?....i.e. throw his way?

Whose the Fatass now?

PS If you only looked at Troy Aikmans stats compared to other QBs each year, he wouldn't have won 3 superbowls. My question is how many "GAMES" did the other 72 safeties manage to win?

I repeat,...whose the Fatass now?

Name that Dude Singing Like a Rolling Stone says:

I see, by your argument, letting TJ Duckett blow past him and leave him looking like he was standing still, watching Shockey catch 13 balls for 100 plus yards and a score, watching the third string TE for Philly make him look like he was in high school and watching him time after time go for a big "ESPN" highlight hit only to come up empty was all part of his masterplan to make teams think he sucks just for the 2008-2009 season? Right!

Face the facts he blows, should be cut and hopefully he be picked up by an NFC East team so we can face his slow fatass twice a year.

As far as the comparason between he and Aikman the only thing you need to know is Aikman is a winner and Roy is a loser. Aikman was a leader, Roy holds everyone else accountable but himself....see hands up in the air when he gets beat like it was someone else's man when it was his. Aikman has 3 rings and Roy has three tampons because he is a bledding bitch.

There really is no comparason so let's not have you look any sillier than you already do and feel free to drop the whole Aikman vs. Roy thing.

Scott says:

Name,

I think I see what your saying. Your saying that Jerry Jones doesn't want to win a Superbowl, Wade Phillips is an idiot regarding the defense, Brian Stewart is an idiot, Dave Camp...idiot.

So, the first priority here must be .....

www.replace-all-the-coaches.com

If something this obvious isn't being addressed, what about the 1000 other things they have do each week to prep for a game? How idiotic are the rest of the decisions?

Good catch!
