derekeagleton Leftwich runs out of bounds on TB 13 with 1:12 left in the half.
Sep 13, 2009 1:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3rd down run by Caddys force punt with 1:08 left. Cboys have chance to score b4 half.

DCStarJEllis To me Romo and Witten's cohesion is still on a completely different level than Romo's with any other receiver.
Sep 13, 2009 1:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Pass to Witten on 1st down for 9 yds to TB 47. Stopped clock at :54.
Sep 13, 2009 1:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Offsides TB gives 1st down at TB 42.
Sep 13, 2009 1:20 PM |
|
derekeagleton Very nice TD by Austin on back shoulder fade. Picks up about 24 yards after catch with broken tackle on cornerback and nice move on safety.
Sep 13, 2009 1:21 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I think every one of us in the press box just said WOW. Miles Austin really made a great play
Sep 13, 2009 1:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That's why a lot of people thought Austin could be a big part of replacing T.O., his athleticism and ability to run after the catch.
Sep 13, 2009 1:23 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Newman had lazy coverage on the long throw to Clayton... Clayton jogged off the line, then surprised Newman with a burst of speed.
Sep 13, 2009 1:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton Newman gets beat by Clayton down sideline for 47 yd. Newman had decent coverage but great pass and catch.
Sep 13, 2009 1:27 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis DeCamillis and Scandrick were heated after the missed field goal. Scandrick went straight to the ref, furious becuase he was held.
Sep 13, 2009 1:31 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Hey, Vince Carter's here in the press box. Kinda cool.
Sep 13, 2009 1:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis It's started raining again... how does that change the complexion of the game? Probably good the Cowboys have the lead.
Sep 13, 2009 1:40 PM |
|
derekeagleton Buehler begins 2nd half with a kickoff that sails out of the back of the end zone. That's the 2nd time he's done that this game.
Sep 13, 2009 1:44 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis @Namyel4563 I don't know is Vince likes the Cowboys or not. He's been talking to ex-Cowboy Calvin Hill, the father Grant Hill.
Sep 13, 2009 1:45 PM |
|
derekeagleton Story of 1st half was Bucs run game. Cboys begin 2nd half with a stop for 2 yds up middle. Gotta hope made run defense adjustments at half.
Sep 13, 2009 1:46 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3rd & 5 at TB 41. Cboys have gotten little pressure on 3rd down (or any down for that matter.
Sep 13, 2009 1:47 PM |
|
derekeagleton Stovall can't hold on to the pass leading to a 4th down punt. After out-of-bounds punt, Cboys get ball at DAL 21.
Sep 13, 2009 1:48 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Like the defensive start of the 2nd half for the Cowboys better than the first. If they add a TD here it'd be tough for TB to come back.
Sep 13, 2009 1:49 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis 66 yard touchdown by Roy Williams... who did he look like on that play?
Sep 13, 2009 1:52 PM |
|
derekeagleton 66 yd TD from Romo to Roy. Is that good enuff for all those who question whether Roy will be an explosive WR for Cboys?
Sep 13, 2009 1:53 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Roy has three catches for 86 yards.
Sep 13, 2009 1:55 PM |
|
derekeagleton Another touchback for Buehler. That would make three for today (Bucs have returned 2 from near the goalline).
Sep 13, 2009 1:56 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cowboys D forces 3 and out. Punt to DAL 25 and Newman muffs the punt. Crayton kicks the ball out of bounds & penalized for illegal kicking.
Sep 13, 2009 1:59 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I had no idea illegal kicking was a penalty. I though it was a smart, safe play by Crayton to kick the ball out of bounds.
Sep 13, 2009 1:59 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis The Cowboys haven't had more than two touchbacks in a game since 1998.
Sep 13, 2009 2:01 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Heads up play by Tony Romo falling on the Felix Jones fumble. He was the only guy who saw it I think.
Sep 13, 2009 2:03 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cboys ofnc goes 3 & out w/ pass 2 Crayton on 1st down for 6 yds, run by Felix for -1 & incomplete slant 2 Roy. After punt TB starts @ TB 42.
Sep 13, 2009 2:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cboys D holds Graham to 1 yd run up gut on 1st down.
Sep 13, 2009 2:06 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 and out by Cboys D. Cboys get the ball after punt on DAL 12.
Sep 13, 2009 2:09 PM |
|
derekeagleton Bucs D turned up the heat on that Cboys possession. No sacks but plenty of pressure.
Sep 13, 2009 2:16 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Romo had Felix underneath on his third down throw to the sideline. He has to have more time.
Sep 13, 2009 2:16 PM |
|
derekeagleton Ward picks up 12 yards up the middle. First solid run of the half.
Sep 13, 2009 2:16 PM |
|
derekeagleton Another big run by Ward 4 22 yds. They've had a few big runs off tackle where DEs got sealed & OLB gets caught running upfield past runner.
Sep 13, 2009 2:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Interception by Jenkins is negated by illegal contact on Sensabaugh. Questionable call.
Sep 13, 2009 2:20 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cboys defense continue to struggle getting pressure on Leftwich.
Sep 13, 2009 2:20 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Seems like DeMarcus Ware is doing a little more coverage today than he was involved in last year.
Sep 13, 2009 2:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton Sensabaugh makes big hit on Clayton on seam, but he's down and hurt. This was one of the positions where the Cboys lack depth. Watkins is n.
Sep 13, 2009 2:22 PM |
|
derekeagleton Reverse pass by Clayton covered well by the Dallas D. Incompletion will lead 2 2nd & 10 at DAL 18.
Sep 13, 2009 2:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cboys stop Ward on run up middle for 4. Jenkins is down on the field and looks like he's cramping up.
Sep 13, 2009 2:27 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Just by his body language on the sideline you can tell Gerald Sensabaugh won't be back today. He's had a really good game. Tough loss.
Sep 13, 2009 2:29 PM |
|
derekeagleton Slant to Strother for TD. Cboys in zone coverage against trips bunch. Defense parted like the red sea leaving the slant wide open.
Sep 13, 2009 2:31 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Good challenge by Wade.
Sep 13, 2009 2:32 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Gerald Sensabaugh has a rib injury and has been taken in for x-rays.
Sep 13, 2009 2:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton Wade challenges TD and the replay appears that TB is down at the 1.
Sep 13, 2009 2:33 PM |
|
derekeagleton Challenge is in favor of Cowboys, but TB dives over middle for TD on 1st & goal.
Sep 13, 2009 2:36 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Remember, Tampa's touchdown drive shouldn't have been. The illegal contact penalty against Gerald Sensabaugh was pretty suspect.
Sep 13, 2009 2:37 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin back to return the kick in place of Felix Jones and returns to the DAL 19 for 20 yds.
Sep 13, 2009 2:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis We think Austin was the return man there because this will be a Felix-heavy drive.
Sep 13, 2009 2:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Romo saw Crayton would be open before the play. You saw him audible and fake underneath to Witten, knowing he would have Crayton wide open.
Sep 13, 2009 2:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton Another big pass for the Cowboys with 81 yd TD from Romo to Crayton. So much for the Cowboys offense having no punch.
Sep 13, 2009 2:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Romo is now 14-of-25 for 303 yards and three scores.
Sep 13, 2009 2:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That was the longest completion of Tony Romo's career. 80 yards.
Sep 13, 2009 2:41 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3rd & 4 for TB on DAL 39...can they get off the field with 10:00 remaining and a 27 - 14 lead? Nope, pass 2 Stroughter for 10 & 1st down.
Sep 13, 2009 2:47 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Stephen Bowen is having a pretty good game so far. He's getting a lot of snaps over Olshansky.
Sep 13, 2009 2:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Rookie Vic Butler relieving Spencer and makes a play stopping Ward for 3 yds on opposite side of field.
Sep 13, 2009 2:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Another 3rd down. Pass complete to Winslow who is taken down immediately by Carpenter forcing the 4th down. TB going for the 1st...
Sep 13, 2009 2:49 PM |
|
derekeagleton Good protection, open Winslow, good throw by Leftwich, and Winslow drops the pass. 1st & 10 for Dallas at their own 26.
Sep 13, 2009 2:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I can't imagine what it feels like on the field. It's waaay too hot up in the press box.
Sep 13, 2009 2:51 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Here comes Barber to milk the clock. We'll see how well they can run the ball on this drive.
Sep 13, 2009 2:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cboys have used all their RBs throughout the game. Now lets see if Barber is fresh enough to put it away in the 4th.
Sep 13, 2009 2:53 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nick had predicted 80 catches for Crayton this year... he's now considering changing it to 1,000 yards.
Sep 13, 2009 2:55 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis The 353 yards for Tony Romo is a career high, surpassing the 341 he had against San Francisco last year.
Sep 13, 2009 2:57 PM |
|
derekeagleton 7 yd TD for Barber. 74 yards 6 plays 3:41 drive time. Big 44 yd pass to Crayton was the highlight of the drive.
Sep 13, 2009 2:57 PM |
|
derekeagleton Crayton has had an outstanding day. 135 yards and 1 TD on 4 catches.
Sep 13, 2009 2:58 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis This time Buehler kicks it short but high. Still, Tampa has had bad starting position all day.
Sep 13, 2009 2:59 PM |
|
derekeagleton Ware almost had a sack and Jenkins almost had the interception. Cboys end up with just an incompletion.
Sep 13, 2009 3:00 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I think Ware will look back and say he missed a sack he could have had right there on second down, the pass Jenkins almost picked.
Sep 13, 2009 3:02 PM |
|
derekeagleton James says that Bucs had good 1st half running cause Cboys were aggressive and got gashed. More base D in 2nd half corrected problems.
Sep 13, 2009 4:04 PM |
|
derekeagleton Spears says despite no sacks for Cboys, they hit Leftwich 11 times. He says that affected him as the game continued.
Sep 13, 2009 4:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jerry says that Romo's willingness to spread the ball to many options is what you'd call Romo-friendly.
Sep 13, 2009 4:06 PM |
|
derekeagleton Long pass TDs to Crayton, Williams, and Austin may show that the Cboys have big play ability w/o TO. Roy says that they have 2 b consistent
