Top 10 Ultimate Building Blocks In The NFC East
ESPN.com's NFC East blogger Matt Mosley recently made up his list of top 10 building blocks from the division and this is what he came up with:
1) Eli Manning, NYG
2) DeMarcus Ware, DAL
3) Albert Haynesworth, WAS
4) Asante Samuel, PHI
5) Jason Peters, PHI
6) Jason Witten, DAL
7) Justin Tuck, NYG
8) Brandon Jacobs, NYG
9) Brian Orakpo, WAS
10) Brian Westbrook, PHI
Eli Manning is the most valuable person in the NFC East?? Really?? Last time I checked he wasn't even the best QB, let alone best player overall. Here's a real list composed by yours truly:
1) DeMarcus Ware, DAL
This is a no-brainer, need I remind you he had 20 sacks and 6 forced fumbles last year?? There's no question who I'm taking with my 1st pick.
2) Albert Haynesworth, WAS
Haynesworth already takes up a bunch of space in the middle, but with teams doubling Ware, he should be even more of a beast than ever before.
3) Donovan McNabb, PHI
Eli was human without Plax last year. Meanwhile, Donovan has been playing with mediocre receivers for years and still put up numbers. Plus, he won't fold in crunch time like Romo.
4) Osi Umenyiora, NYG
With Ware, Haynesworth, and Osi out there, I might not even need anymore offensive players. What are teams gonna do?? You can't double team them all so at least one of them is gonna kill you every play.
5) Jason Witten, DAL
Great blocker and pass catcher, Donovan could do wonders with Witten out there with him.
6) Asante Samuel, PHI
Asante gets picks even when QBs have time to throw so just imagine what he'd do with Ware, Haynesworth, and Osi putting the pressure on. He might catch 20 INTs. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's from the 954.
7) Marion Barber, DAL
This was tough because the NFC East has such good RBs with Brandon Jacobs, Clinton Portis, and Brian Westbrook. I'd take Barber over all of them though because he runs tough, isn't easily taken down, is a beast in the 4th quarter, and isn't as injury prone as Portis and Westbrook. If he doesn't hurt his toe last year on Thanksgiving, he rushes for at least 1,200 yards.
8) Terence Newman, DAL
Newman is a game changer when he's on the field so he and Asante in my secondary equals WR lockdown.
9) DeSean Jackson, PHI
With Plax and T.O. both banished from the NFC East, Jackson is now the best receiver in the conference. Plus, not only does he stretch the field, but he gets me great field position on all those 3-and-out punts my incredible defense would force.
10) Jason Peters, PHI
This is gonna be a huge year for Peters, I can feel it. I have no idea why the Bills traded him. Oh well, he'll do wonders giving McNabb more time.
And there you have it. Nobody is fuckin' with this team and certainly not one led by Eli Manning.

Top 10 Cowboys That Should Be Shown The Door
If Jerry Jones is wondering who needs to stay and who needs to go he needs to check out my top 10.
10) Zach Thomas
He's still an all-time great and probable Hall of Famer, but he didn't really help us out at all.
9) Roy L. Williams
Yeah he only played in like 2 or 3 games this season, but even if he was there you know he would've been getting burned. We shouldn't have brought him back last year and definitely shouldn't next.
8) Anthony Henry
Henry is constantly getting beat in coverage and missing tackles so its time to part ways.
7) Roy E. Williams
Let the records show, I said this was a bad trade from the beginning. His poor route running in that loss in Philly proved that and also why Romo has been reluctant to look his direction. I still say we should've waited for T.J. who's gonna be a free agent.
6) Cory Procter
The only reason I left him out of the top 5 is because he is a back-up and was forced to play because of injury to Kyle Kosier and Montrae Holland. Anyway, he was terrible all season and we can't expect Romo to do anything when Procter is always getting beat.
5) Brian Stewart
Why is he even on the staff?? Wade is doing the defensive play calling during the game now anyway.
4) Flozell Adams
Its been nice, but its time for change. He's good for at least a false start per game and he wasn't getting killed by Trent Cole against the Eagles.
3) Brad Johnson
We have no use for him besides at holder and that's just not good enough. Plus, I could never forgive him for his terrible play while Romo was out.
2) Pacman Jones
This was an experiment gone bad. He hasn't done one thing positive for us on the field besides make the tackle after he's repeatedly beat in coverage. I feel bad because I actually wanted him to come to Dallas.
1) Jason Garrett
The play calling has been pretty bad all year and as T.O. has been saying for weeks, teams have figured us out and we need to give some different looks. Maybe it was just a sophomore jinx, but his play calling was questionable all season. Ex: Instead of pounding it up the middle with Choice on 3rd and inches, he calls a pass in the flat which turns into a 4 yard loss by Roy E. Williams. Unacceptable. When all we got was a field goal out of that drive I knew it was all downhill from there. Maybe he'd be better off as a head coach where he wouldn't have to call plays, but we need to get rid of Jason Garrett the offensive coordinator.
Here's my bonus top 10 of players we need to keep around.
10) Miles Austin
Miles has been great all season and is a much better kick returned than Pacman. He's another reason why I think the Roy Williams trade was a bad idea.
9) Leonard Davis
Leonard is the man. He's huge and takes up a lot of space so we definitely need to keep him on board.
8) Bradie James
Bradie should've made the Pro Bowl, but he doesn't have a name yet, but he still had one of the best seasons of any MLB in the league.
7) Terence Newman
Though he wasn't that impressive Sunday, T-New has been shutting niggas down since he came back from injury in Washington. We need that.
6) Marion Barber
I don't wanna make excuses (mainly because Tashard Choice filled in so great for the most part) but you can make an argument saying we got a lot worse once Marion got hurt. It probably wouldn't have matter against the Eagles, but imagine him in the 4th quarter in Pittsburgh.
5) Jay Ratliff
He's one of the best DTs this league has to offer and we're gonna need him to sculpt our defense around.
4) Terrell Owens
Its sad that some people are actually blaming the Eagles loss on T.O. (namely Cris Carter's long eye brow having ass). One receiver can't make a team lose by 38 points. Somebody tell Cris to call me when Terrell starts playing defense and special teams.
3) Jason Witten
Witten is a huge part of what we do offensively so it would be retarded to get rid of him no matter how good Bennett is.
2) DeMarcus Ware
Seriously, do I even need to elaborate??
1) Tony Romo
I battled with who should be #1, Tony or DeMarcus, but I ultimately landed on Romo because franchise QBs don't grow on trees. It took us about 6 or 7 seasons to find a replacement for Aikman and we don't need to go through that again. Lets not forget, this is just Romo's 2nd full season. It took Peyton Manning 96 starts before he won his first playoff game. Tony will be fine.

Romo Misses Practice Today
From the news-I-could've-gone-my-day-without-hearing file is the word that Tony Romo missed practice today because he's sick. I don't know how sick he is, but that shit better subside before 4:15 ET Sunday. Hopefully some Vitamin C and dick in the box for Jessica can get him right in time to play and be effective.
Also missing practice today is Jason Witten with that sprained ankled, but a cracked rib couldn't even keep him out so I'm not worried if he'll play or not lol.

5 Pro Bowlers For The Cowboys
Yep, just 5 this times after sending 13 last year. Well here are the 5 Cowboys that made it: DeMarcus Ware (no brainer), Jay Ratliff, Leonard Davis, Jason Witten, and Andre Gurode. That's right, no Romo! No Barber either, but with him the top 4 rushers in the league all in the NFC, I'm not surprised.
Anyway, click here for the full list of Pro Bowlers. No major snubs this year (though you could make an argument for Phillip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Tony Romo).

T.O. & Witten Had To Be Seperated??
Apparently a little altercation happened yesterday in the locker room, but I don't really know what to make of it. The media (mainly ESPN) overblowing this story is really fucking us up either way because there didn't seem to be any problems between these 2 at any other point before these stories broke.
Ironically, Romo is the least player I'm worried about in all of this because he's so easy going that nothing ever seems to really phase him. What ever the case is, all my Boys need to get their shit together and focus on the game against the Giants tomorrow night. If they want all this shit to go away they better had win this damn game.
Question: Umm, is it too late to change my pick back to the Giants?? lol.

You Knew They'd Make This Up Eventually
Today on the 6pm SportsCenter this started off with a whole big elaborate story about alleged "friction" between T.O. and Romo. Ed Werder says T.O. is jealous of Romo and Witten's relationship and thinks they make up plays together or some shit like that. Oh goodness here we go. Werder also cites T.O., Roy Williams, and Patrick Crayton's "secret meeting" Monday with Jason Garrett as reason to believe this is the real thing, but I just think its mostly media hype.
Now, I'm not saying there is or isn't problem is their relationship, but you KNOW this is gonna get blown all out of proportions just like every T.O. story is. ESPN has been waiting to run this story line all year, I guess today was just a slow news day lol.
Welp, the only cure for this, soon to be full-swing, media circus is a win Sunday against the Giants. If we can pull out the W all will be well and this story will die, but if we lose all hell is gonna break lose. Can't wait to hear what Skip Bayless has to say about this tomorrow morning on 1 & 10! I hope they have someone like Stephen A. Smith or Rob Parker to debate with him about it.

Pacman Out Against The Giants
See, this is what I was afraid of when playing the Steelers! People have a bad tendency of being injured while playing them and I knew we'd be re-stung by the injury bug afterward. Well here's the first casualty. Pac will miss the super huge game just one game after coming back because of a bugling disk in his neck suffered in Pittsburgh Sunday. Not only will he be out against the Giants, but there is a possibility that he might miss the rest of the reason. His acquisition sure has helped us out lol.
But wait, there's more! Here's a list of other players who didn't practice today: FS Ken Hamlin (ankle), WR Roy Williams (foot), TE Jason Witten (everything), G Montrae Holland (ankle), WR Miles Austin (knee), and of course RB Marion Barber (calf, toe). Back-up, back-up SS Keith Davis should really have missed practice with a third-degree MCL sprain, but decided to tough it out. Who knows if he is gonna be ready for the game Sunday. Shit is fucked up!

Jason Witten Diagnosed With Broken Rib
Move over guys, there could be another Cowboy joining you on the sideline. Big Witten was thought to have just have bruised ribs, but now we find out that he actually fractured one. Isn't that lovely?! He told coaches he was intending on playing, but last time we heard that from a Dallas player he suited up and stood on the sideline the whole game lol.
On the other side of the ball, Anthony Henry is still uncertain for Sunday with his leg contusion. That scares me MUCH more than Witt possibly being out. If Witten is out I still have confidence in Martellus Bennett and Tony Curtis, but we don't have much to help out in our secondary. Right now we're looking at Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick at DBs with Alan Ball and Courtney Brown backing them up.
Welp, hopefully after this game and the bye we'll have most of our team back. There's a joke going around Valley Ranch lately: If an office worker so much as stubs his toe, he'll be asked if he's coming back for the Redskins game lol.
