Nov 26, 2009 2:09 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jason Witten is active for today's game. We'll see how much and how effective he'll be. I still think Bennett should be a good asset today.
Nov 26, 2009 2:38 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Just walked down to the club level... What a nice day for roof to be open. I would have it open more often, but today is absolutely perfect.
Nov 26, 2009 3:00 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis And for all the people so worked up about it, the Cowboys now hang two American flags from the rafters.
Nov 26, 2009 3:12 PM |
|
derekeagleton Ellis is a captain for OAK. Looks funny seeing him in a game with another uniform.
Nov 26, 2009 3:14 PM |
|
derekeagleton It's kickoff tiime. Cowboys elect to receive. Let's go.
Nov 26, 2009 3:14 PM |
|
derekeagleton Correction...DAL will kickoff.
Nov 26, 2009 3:15 PM |
|
derekeagleton Buehler kicks to the back of the end zone on the opening kickoff. OAK takes possession at their 20.
Nov 26, 2009 3:16 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK picks up a first down on pass to McFadden (16 yd gain). Now at OAK 41.
Nov 26, 2009 3:18 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis OK, it's good that Gerald Sensabaugh can line up in man coverage outside against tight ends. But I don't like him on McFadden.
Nov 26, 2009 3:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fargas has gained 4 yds on each of his first two runs.
Nov 26, 2009 3:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton An incompletion on 2nd down leads to 3rd & 6.
Nov 26, 2009 3:19 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Gradkowski threw at Scandrick twice, good coverage both times gets the Cowboys off the field.
Nov 26, 2009 3:19 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis There were some wondering this week if Raiders punter Shane Lechler could hit the video board here. He wasn't even close.
Nov 26, 2009 3:20 PM |
|
derekeagleton Good coverage by Scandrick & pressure by Ware force OAK into a 3rd down incompletion. OAK punts into the end zone & DAL takes over @ DAL 20.
Nov 26, 2009 3:20 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber gains 4 yds up the middle on 1st down.
Nov 26, 2009 3:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That was Nnamdi Asomugha that Miles Austin just got open against for the big gain. Guess he can beat a great corner.
Nov 26, 2009 3:23 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Asomugha was up in press coverage, and Miles beat the jam.
Nov 26, 2009 3:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin gains 49 yds on a slant. Asomugha was covering him and Miles just beat him on the slant.
Nov 26, 2009 3:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton False start on Free and illegal use of hands on Kossier move DAL back to the OAK 40. Then Miles can't come down with a pass (bit high).
Nov 26, 2009 3:27 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Gotta think Michael Huff got to Roy Williams a little early.
Nov 26, 2009 3:27 PM |
|
derekeagleton Cowboys forced to punt and McBriar punts out of bounds at the OAK 7.
Nov 26, 2009 3:28 PM |
|
derekeagleton Mistakes by DAL killed an otherwise good opening drive.
Nov 26, 2009 3:28 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis RT @jen23il It's not happening for the Cowboys on their first drive of the game this year. They've only scored once - a field goal vs. Tampa
Nov 26, 2009 3:29 PM |
|
derekeagleton No TDs on opening drives and only 1 field goal. RT jen23il @DCStarJEllis @derekeagleton do we have an opening drive td this year?
Nov 26, 2009 3:30 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis @jen23il It's not happening for the Cowboys on their first drive of the game this year. They've only scored once - a field goal vs. Tampa.
Nov 26, 2009 3:30 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fargas gains 22 yds on the first carry of OAK's second possession.
Nov 26, 2009 3:30 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Good open field tackle by Pat Watkins. The Raiders are having a lot of success on the ground, Cowboys have corrections to make.
Nov 26, 2009 3:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton Holding on OAK moved them back to their 19. Fargas gains 12 on 1st & 20. moving them to the 31.
Nov 26, 2009 3:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK has 3rd & 4. They are 0 for 1 on 3rd downs today.
Nov 26, 2009 3:33 PM |
|
derekeagleton Newman breaks up the 3rd down pass to Schillings forcing the OAK punt.
Nov 26, 2009 3:33 PM |
|
derekeagleton Pretty decent return by Crayton for nothing. Holding moves them back to the DAL 8 to begin their second possession.
Nov 26, 2009 3:35 PM |
|
derekeagleton 1 yd gain by Barber and tipped incompletion lead to 3rd & 9. Romo has another incomplete pass that should have been intercepted...punt.
Nov 26, 2009 3:38 PM |
|
derekeagleton Illegal block in the back on OAK during the punt return. OAK's 3rd possession starts at their 30.
Nov 26, 2009 3:39 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Let's see if the defense can do any better against the run this drive, you can bet they've made some adjustments.
Nov 26, 2009 3:40 PM |
|
derekeagleton McFadden gains 12 on the ground. OAK has run the ball really well so far with Fargas and now McFadden.
Nov 26, 2009 3:42 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis On second and 6 the Cowboys had five LBs in and just one CB - Mike Jenkins.
Nov 26, 2009 3:43 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jenkins has a nice pass defense on 3rd down to force the punt. DAL has now held OAK 0 for 3 on 3rd downs today.
Nov 26, 2009 3:44 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL will begin it's 3rd possession at their 23.
Nov 26, 2009 3:45 PM |
|
derekeagleton Razorback formation and Choice runs right for 66 yds to the OAK 11.
Nov 26, 2009 3:47 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL runs the same formation and gets a holding call on Anderson. Bad idea to run it again after 66 yd gain. You know Choice was winded.
Nov 26, 2009 3:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Felix gains 7 on counter to the DAL 14.
Nov 26, 2009 3:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL tries to throw to Felix in the flat but tackled immediately after he caught it.
Nov 26, 2009 3:49 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass to Witten on 3rd down. DAL has been held 0 for 3 on 3rd downs today.
Nov 26, 2009 3:50 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Deon Anderson's holding penalty really hurt them on that drive. That's two or three on him this year.
Nov 26, 2009 3:51 PM |
|
derekeagleton Folk makes the 36 yd field goal. 5 plays, 59 yards in 2:52. :39 remaining in half. OAK 0 DAL 3.
Nov 26, 2009 3:52 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK begins 4th possession at their 20 and OAK continues their rushing assault with a 7 yd run by Fargas.
Nov 26, 2009 3:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fargas picks up 4 more and a 1st down to the OAK 31.
Nov 26, 2009 3:56 PM |
|
derekeagleton If DAL can get a 10 point lead, this game will get ugly. OAK's passing game has looked horrible so far.
Nov 26, 2009 3:58 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK now has 3rd & 12.
Nov 26, 2009 3:58 PM |
|
derekeagleton Pass almost intercepted (but nice breakup) by Ball on 3rd & 12. Forces punt return to DAL 11.
Nov 26, 2009 4:00 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass and Razorback run by Choice for 1 yd loss lead to 3rd down.
Nov 26, 2009 4:03 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin gains the 1st down (11 yds) at the DAL 21.
Nov 26, 2009 4:04 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nice effort by Miles Austin to keep churning and pick up the first down.
Nov 26, 2009 4:04 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Good hard run by Felix Jones off left tackle.
Nov 26, 2009 4:04 PM |
|
derekeagleton Jones gains 6 on the ground.
Nov 26, 2009 4:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton Play-action pass to Austin for 27 yds. That's why the running game is important.
Nov 26, 2009 4:05 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Love that enthusiasm out of Felix there... He told me this week he's 100 percent, just now starting to regain his pre-PCL sprain form.
Nov 26, 2009 4:07 PM |
|
derekeagleton Felix runs up the middle for 46 yd TD. 6 plays, 89 yards in 2:21. 10:48 left in the half. OAK 0 DAL 10.
Nov 26, 2009 4:08 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK will begin their possession at their 17.
Nov 26, 2009 4:09 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3rd & 8 for OAK. They are 0 for 4 today.
Nov 26, 2009 4:11 PM |
|
derekeagleton Gradkowski scrambles for the 1st down moving to therie 27.
Nov 26, 2009 4:14 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis @DerekEagleton thinks the Raiders are going to have to start passing more, and that this one will get ugly.
Nov 26, 2009 4:14 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis When it rains it poors... Always Anthony.
Nov 26, 2009 4:18 PM |
|
derekeagleton Sack on 3rd down by Always Anthony (can't call him Almost anymore...).
Nov 26, 2009 4:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Punt return by Crayton to the DAL 28.
Nov 26, 2009 4:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber gains 42 yds on pass in flat to the OAK 30 followed by a false start on Flo. Seems like they often follow a big play with a mistake.
Nov 26, 2009 4:21 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Looked like to me Miles Austin could've caught that ball on 1st and 15 when Romo rolled right.
Nov 26, 2009 4:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton Williams finally catches a ball that he has to go up and grab. Brings up 3rd & 6.
Nov 26, 2009 4:22 PM |
|
derekeagleton Romo is sacked on 3rd down by Scott (Davis whiffed on the block).
Nov 26, 2009 4:23 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis So Nick Folk's slump continues.
Nov 26, 2009 4:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton Folk misses another field goal (hit the upright). It was a 49 yarder which isn't a gimme, but he has missed more than we've seen in past yrs
Nov 26, 2009 4:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK takes possession at their 40.
Nov 26, 2009 4:26 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3 and out for OAK. Punt into the end zone and DAL takes over at their 20.
Nov 26, 2009 4:28 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Looks like the Cowboys have corrected whatever problems they had against the run.
Nov 26, 2009 4:29 PM |
|
derekeagleton Facemask on OAK.
Nov 26, 2009 4:30 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis And with that catch, Miles Austin goes over 100 yards. Big half for he and Romo.
Nov 26, 2009 4:30 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin gains 20 yds by pass moving DAL to the OAK 42.
Nov 26, 2009 4:31 PM |
|
derekeagleton Witten gains 21 yds by pass to the OAK 22.
Nov 26, 2009 4:32 PM |
|
derekeagleton 2 minute warning.
Nov 26, 2009 4:33 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK 0 DAL 10 with 2:00 remaining in the 1st half.
Nov 26, 2009 4:34 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis He' slumping, but it was a tough kick. 49 yards, and into the wind blowing thru the end zone doors. RT @super80e what is the deal w/ Folk?
Nov 26, 2009 4:35 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin takes it 22 yds for a touchdown.
Nov 26, 2009 4:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton The review says that Austin's ankle and shin are down at the 8.
Nov 26, 2009 4:40 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis All's well that end well, I guess. Austin gets his touchdown back.
Nov 26, 2009 4:41 PM |
|
derekeagleton Austin scores on a WR screen. 6 plays, 80 yards in 3:50. :31 left in half. OAK 0 DAL 17.
Nov 26, 2009 4:42 PM |
|
derekeagleton Ware gets a sack on the final play of the half and recovered by Ratliff.
Nov 26, 2009 4:48 PM |
|
derekeagleton Last time DAL had a shut out was in 2003 against the Redskins. As bad as the OAK offense is and as good as the DAL D is, good chance today.
Nov 26, 2009 4:51 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Maybe not Ware's most meaninful sack, but that gives him 8.0 on the year. Oakland hasn't crossed midfield yet. Shut out anyone?
Nov 26, 2009 4:51 PM |
|
dallascowboys Big Gains Again For Offense: After two grind-it-out games against the Packers and Redskins, the Cowboys' offens.. http://bit.ly/4ImAeX

|
derekeagleton Another big play. This time Witten up seam for 37 yds.
Nov 26, 2009 5:10 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL now at the OAK 48.
Nov 26, 2009 5:10 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis That's the first time Romo's hit Witten up the seam this year. It's been a big part of the offense in seasons past.
Nov 26, 2009 5:10 PM |
|
derekeagleton Romo sacked for 5 yd loss. Free's man made the sack.
Nov 26, 2009 5:11 PM |

Nov 26, 2009 5:12 PM |
|
derekeagleton McBriar punts to the OAK 10 and downed with fair catch.
Nov 26, 2009 5:12 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis So another big play followed by a minus play, the sack. Several times the Cowboys' big plays have come just before a drive-stalling penalty.
Nov 26, 2009 5:13 PM |
|
derekeagleton 3rd & 3 for OAK. The are 2 of 8 on 3rd downs.
Nov 26, 2009 5:19 PM |

derekeagleton Miller gains 12to DAL 27.
Nov 26, 2009 5:22 PM |
|
derekeagleton Gradkowski scrambles to the DAL 6.
Nov 26, 2009 5:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis It's still a game... Looks like to me the Cowboys defense is backing off
Nov 26, 2009 5:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis 83,489 tickets distributed today.
Nov 26, 2009 5:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton Fargas dropped after 2 yd gain to the DAL 4.
Nov 26, 2009 5:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton TD pass to Hayward-Bey (covered by Ball). 11 plays, 88 yards in 7:16. 5:37 left in 3rd quarter. OAK 7 DAL 17.
Nov 26, 2009 5:25 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Just a good throw & catch from Bruce Gradkowski to Heyward-Bey for the score... guess that's what happens when you start talking shut out.
Nov 26, 2009 5:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton Felix gains 8 to begin the drive.
Nov 26, 2009 5:29 PM |

Nov 26, 2009 5:30 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber gains 1 to pick up the 1st down.
Nov 26, 2009 5:30 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Really like short yardage with Barber and Felix in the game. The defense can't cheat inside or outside.
Nov 26, 2009 5:31 PM |
|
derekeagleton Slant to Austin for 15 yds and another 1st down. DAL now at the DAL 45.
Nov 26, 2009 5:31 PM |

Nov 26, 2009 5:34 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass on 1st down for OAK. Gradkowski under pressure in end zone.
Nov 26, 2009 5:37 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Igor Olshansky is having a very good game today.
Nov 26, 2009 5:38 PM |
|
derekeagleton Screen to Fargas on 3rd down for 4 yds leaves OAK 4 yds shy of the first down. OAK must punt.
Nov 26, 2009 5:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton End of the 3rd quarter. OAK 7 DAL 17.
Nov 26, 2009 5:39 PM |
|
derekeagleton Witten gains 44 on pass to get to the OAK 8. Then TD pass to Williams on slant.
Nov 26, 2009 5:46 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Funny, we had a caller on the Lunch Break yesterday talking about how Witten wasn't a run-after-catch guy.
Nov 26, 2009 5:46 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Nice throw and catch between Romo and Roy for the touchdown. The playaction froze the linebackers and opened up the back of the end zone.
Nov 26, 2009 5:47 PM |
|
derekeagleton 11 plays, 88 yards in 7:16. 13:12 left in the game. OAK 7 DAL 24.
Nov 26, 2009 5:48 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Not the best we've seen him play, but not that bad, really. RT @pinstripes213 @DCStarJEllis: Free is struggling.
Nov 26, 2009 5:51 PM |
|
derekeagleton Sensabaugh breaks up deep ball to McFadden on 1st down. Run for 1 yd on 2nd down leads to 3rd & 9.
Nov 26, 2009 5:53 PM |
|
derekeagleton 5 yd pass on 3rd down leads to 4th & 4. OAK punts. DAL will take possession at their 28.
Nov 26, 2009 5:54 PM |
|
derekeagleton Holding on Kosier moves DAL back to their 15. 2nd & 23 coming up.
Nov 26, 2009 5:58 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK forces the DAL punt.
Nov 26, 2009 6:00 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis It's all starting to come together for Anthony Spencer. What a confidence boost last week must have been.
Nov 26, 2009 6:03 PM |
|
derekeagleton Always Anthony gets the sack and the turkey dance. Now is when it starts to get really ugly.
Nov 26, 2009 6:03 PM |
|
derekeagleton 15 yd pass on 2nd down and incompletion on 3rd down can't dig OAK out of the hole created by the sack. 4th down and a punt.
Nov 26, 2009 6:04 PM |
|
derekeagleton DAL gets the ball at their 10 with 8:12 left in the game.
Nov 26, 2009 6:05 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis I think he must've been hurt earlier. He was in as a starter RT @smann1050 @DCStarJEllis havent seen or heard of greg ellis all game
Nov 26, 2009 6:05 PM |
|
derekeagleton 4 yd run by Barber and incomplete pass bring up 3rd & 6. They are 2 of 9 on 3rd downs.

derekeagleton Barber gains 32 yards to the OAK 48.
Nov 26, 2009 6:08 PM |
|
derekeagleton Felix appeared to tweak his knee on the last drive but is now back in the game. He gains 5 on a screen on 3rd down.
Nov 26, 2009 6:10 PM |
|
derekeagleton It's 4th & 3 at the OAK 41. DAL will punt.
Nov 26, 2009 6:11 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK fair catches at their own 13.
Nov 26, 2009 6:11 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Anybody feeling better about the Cowboys after today's game, or do you feel like Oakland is just a much weaker opponent?
Nov 26, 2009 6:15 PM |
|
derekeagleton OAK has moved to the DAL 22.
Nov 26, 2009 6:16 PM |
|
derekeagleton 2 minute warning. 3rd & 7 on DAL 19 for OAK. OAK 7 DAL 24.
Nov 26, 2009 6:19 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass in the end zone (coverage by Newman) brings up 4th down.
Nov 26, 2009 6:21 PM |
|
derekeagleton Incomplete pass on 4th down. DAL gains possession and should run 1 more play before kneels for the win.
Nov 26, 2009 6:22 PM |
|
DCStarJEllis Alright, we're headed down to the locker room. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!
Nov 26, 2009 6:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber runs up the middle for 3. OAK uses it's final timeout.
Nov 26, 2009 6:23 PM |
|
derekeagleton Barber runs up the middle for 5 yds. Then Barber gets the 1st down with a 6 yd run. I assume they'll take a knee at this point.
Nov 26, 2009 6:25 PM |
|
derekeagleton Romo takes a knee and that's the ballgame. Final score: DAL 24 OAK 7.
Nov 26, 2009 6:26 PM |
|
derekeagleton Romo, Witten & Austin look like their going to get the special Thanksgiving Day awards given by NBC.
Nov 26, 2009 6:28 PM |
|
derekeagleton Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Be safe and we'll talk to you Monday at 10:30 am on the Lunch Break.
