Maybe T. McClain keeps playing well.

Kid's definitely feeling the bumps and bruises now, but I think he has at least one more "splash" play left in him.

What gives you an indication T. McClain is beat up?

Yeah, he looked really good against the Skins. He was in the backfield a lot, and was pretty damn disruptive.

Sorry, I was mistaken. T. McClain looks good and rested. I was thinking of Rolando.

That is insane as a rookie.

He's taken nothing for granted, and pairing with Fredbeard has helped elevate both players' games.

Hope they don't stop to read the cheese, because they are facing their toughest competition yet this Sunday.

Yup.

He's always had a knack for it.

Yup.

He's always had a knack for it.

And he hits hard that sack fumble showed a good burst, he should have had 3 sacks.

I just can't believe he was able to come back from microfracture surgery. This has truly been a miracle season.

I mean almost all of the usual list of offseason question marks, health and otherwise, were answered positively for Dallas.

Romo's back
Murray's health
Melton's knee
Callahan coaching through his demotion
Linehan calling run plays
Dez's contract distractions
Crawford's Achilles
Spencer's knee
Lawrence's ability to contribute as a rookie
Hitchens' talent
R. McClain's head
T. McClain's effectiveness
J. Brent's addiction
Martin's youth
Dunbar's health

Then you add big, unexpected leaps in performance from Mincey, Durant, Hitchens, Crawford, and R. McClain and the entire team finding guts. Unreal-- please don't let it end.

C'mon, you know you give a shit.

 

[Smitty]

There's a chance he's not going to be ready??

What a waste.

FEH.

I still think Claiborne should be given some looks as a FS. I'm not one of those ignorant fans who just assumes a CB can be plugged into that position and succeed, mind you, but I do think it could work because of his skillset.

By keeping everything in front of him, I think there's a chance he could regain the playmaking ability he showed in college. He's rangey and athletic, and all of his highlights at LSU were of him making plays on the football, and a lot if them consisted of him making up a lot if ground quickly and with his eyes towards the QB.

I don't think he's ever going to be a good CB because he doesn't have the technique or confidence necessary to play the position, but maybe he could make it as a center field type safety who relies mostly on his athletic ability.

 

[boozeman]

He lacks the ball skills and awareness to be a FS.

 

[Smitty]

He lacks the ball skills and awareness to be a FS.

Which is amazing since we were told that was what separated him from your average first round QB and made him a top 5 pick.

C'mon, you know you give a shit.

Sorry, now you pissed me off.

I also want a sure tackler at FS...someone like Cody Prewitt in the 2nd really intrigues me.
