LOL, Mike Jenkins considers himself as a "shut down corner" already. Hope that doesn't get out because someone like Steve Smith will eat that up on gameday.

I don't so much see that as being much of a problem, seeing as to how Terence Newman already has Steve Smith's number.

I take all of the negative posts on Dallas to indicate a potentially good shot at the SB this year. You don't hear much when the team is down, do you?

Don't be ignorant, anytime a Rookie comes in and boosts about anything...it's not good. I live in Central FL and actually like Mike Jenkins from USF, but to say he's a shut down corner...some vet WR will throw that back on them. I think Cowboys did very good drafting Jenkins, but he's setting himself up for even more of a difficult start than the normal rookie. His answer should have been I'd like to become or be considered as one, but I have to prove it now since I'm in the NFL.It's not negative at all, but if it makes you feel better then so be it.

Mike is going to have plenty of time practicing against TO to find out if he is a shut down corner or not. Speaking for myself, I like my CBs to be cocky. What makes me even happier is hearing the reports on Scandrick. Looks like we got another 1st round talent at CB in the 5th round. Our defense is going to be a beast this season.

 

[Steady Mooobin]

Huh, a cocky rookie CB in his first minicamp. Whatever will the NFC East do?

Rutgers abused him on a regular basis. Look forward to the Giants doing the same in the pros.

Kudos on the Superbowl win, Dallas already has 5. The Giants aren't even the best team in their division, much less the conference. It had to be said.

Agreed. Bottom 5 worst Super Bowl winning team ever. Just below the 1990 Giants.

Ah, so you're saying that this Giants team did more with less?I can understand your antipathy given that the hallmark of the Cowboys over the last dozen years (since they last won a playoff game) has been the opposite.

Fortunately in the very short time the Cowboys entered the league as an expansion team in 1960, we have amassed a plethora of playoff records as well as 5 Super Bowl victories. I also take solace in the lopsided W/L record against our hated "rivals", the Washington Redskins.

Dude, the Cowboys have the worse loss in NFL history. In 1987 on MNF at home against the Skins, when the strike was winding down and Dallas had all of their studs (i.e. White, Dorsett, etc.). The Skins had 100% scabs on their roster -- not one regular player. And said scabs laid a beatdown on Dallas and all of their HOFers. The league should of cancelled the rest of Dallas' regular season after that legendary abomination, but for some inexplicable reason they didn't. That cancels out at least 2 of the Cowboys Super Bowl wins right there.

The Cowboys also lay claim to arguably the second worst loss in NFL history -- getting beat down against expansion Houston in the first game in Texans history. Remember Woodson saying they had to win that game? Whoops.

Hail to the Redskins.

No actually the worse loss in NFL history is Bears 73 Redskins 0

Im also glad you brought up the strike seasons. Two of your 3 Super Bowls happened during strike seasons.

Dare I mention the game where Jeff George got dragged on the ground like a rag doll? Or the Rocket Ismail game? Or Gus Fercrotch banging his head? Stopping your undefeated season in 91?

 

[Bankerguy]

All I know......is the Cowboys are going to have 5 VERY good cb's on their roster. (T-New/Henry/Pacman/Jenkins/Scandrick) If this team gets a consistent pass rush they are going to be hell on wheels.

There was more than one strike season where the 'Skins won? The next time you go to buy another baggie from your "guy," tell him that it's the best stuff you ever smoked. It appears that Gus is not the only one who hit their head on a wall. Uhhhh..."Dare I mention the game where Lavar Arrington knocked Troy Aikman out so hard that he quit the game of football? Or the Santana Moss game? How about the one where Emmitt Smith tried to throw the ball out of the endzone, which was returned for a TD?" As you can see, more than one person can play this game, if they wanted to... Doh!

15 yard penalty for illegal use of an emoticon. Nothing in my post to you was ignorant nature... ...although I can't claim that for all my posts over the years.

Funny I had forgotten those games. I guess when your team doesn't do well all you can take solace in is your rival losing 2 regular season game. Is it comforting?

I'm sure you try your best not to remember those games. Just like the victim of a horrific crime attempts to mentally block out and forget the traumatic event.The fact of the matter is, the Cowboys have been the least relevant team in the nfc east the last decade. Heck, Dallas has been less relevant than the Raiders the last decade, and the Raiders are the laughinstock of the league. At least Oakland has won playoff games and even made a Super Bowl. Btw, it's very comforting knowing that the Redskins crushed the Cowgirls in the final game of the regular season last year, destroying their confidence in the process. Remember, you are only as good as your last game. Scoreboard Skins.P.S. Mike Jenkins was a great get for the Crackwagon. If he keeps his nose clean, he should be starting by next season, imo.

You do realize that was the NFL Championship game, and Chicago was a real NFL team right? I'll admit, my boys were a little flat that day and the Bears played a near perfect game.

That being said, the Skins could of lost that game 200 - 0, and it would still be nowhere near as bad as the '87 Cowboys, with all of their HOFers, losing to what was essentially an Arena League team @ HOME!!! It doesn't get any worse than that.

I agree for the most part. Even just having Newman, Henry and Jenkins is a great 1-2-3. Of course, if Pacman is allowed to play...it gets even better. Team's will more than likely have to have some success running on them as the secondary is much improved.

Yes, we could go all day, only Cowboy fans could go much longer!Dallas Cowboys Vs Washington Redskins All Time

56 - 36 - 2 (.609) 2178 1796

Losing to the Expantion Texans might rank pretty high in your book, but I didn't get my heart broken by it. We were a pretty awful team that year. As far as team relevancy, your Redskins weren't exactly lighting the world on fire during any decade other then the 80's. Im not sure how you can even stand behind that statement.

The scab game is only thought of by Redskin fans clinging to any hope of being in the same league as the Cowboys franchise. Dorsett and White were done already. The Redskins while having an arena quality, had the best scabs in the league somehow and went 3-0.

And yes, the Redskins won 2 Super Bowls during strike seasons. Pitiful that you don't know that.

(BTW, I hope you aren't taking any of this seriously (and I don't think you are) as this is just some good offseason smack talk )

Only problem with that is I hope these teams can stop the Dallas Offense cause if they get behind running won't be as much of a option. Dallas will be better this year barring any big injuries as with any team. Can't wait for the season. All this smack talk is funny though means people are scared!!

Seems like we went something like 5 years without a loss to the skins during that decade. What was it a 10 or 11 game winning streak we dropped on the skins?

Well, you just brought up a very good point in regards to an improved secondary. The improvement is greater if the offense can jump out to leads early, as team's will become more one dimensional. That is how the old STL team (greatest show on turf) was built in regards to jumping to leads. Though they didn't have as much talent on their Defense as the Cowboys do, it just goes to show how the cowboys could even have more success.Some other things to consider before handing over the trophy - MBIII has never been the man in college or NFL and had to carry the rock for prolonged periods. Will be interesting to see how he fares...

Only one strike (1987) had an impact with scrub players. In that regard, it's one that could be held against them. Though, even if you took the 3 games the scrubs played out...the Redskins would have still have a better record than the Cowboys. One could even say that instead of being held against them, maybe it just went to show how much better the Front Office of the Redskins was than the Cowboys or many of the other teams. BTW - Several teams put up some really good records that season, so several other team's did their hoemwork too.As for the other in 1982, nobody played. So, no impact by scrub players and everyone was at ground zero. So, how can that be counted or held against? They all played 9 game season and an expanded playoffs that allowed 8 teams from each conference, which included your cowboys. Oh yeah, that was the year that the Redskins BEAT the Cowboys 31-17 in the NFC Championship. Of course, the 'Skins went on to beat the 'Phins in the SB. I'm sure had your team won, you'd view that year differently.

Hehehe...GB the offseason!

Let's see them spin this

 

[Bizkiteer]

LOL! No spin... just not a very dominate record. Win 6 out of 10 is not something to fear, but is better than 4 out 10.

 

[Dexter Manley]

There are few absolutes in life. Water is wet. The sky is blue. You're only as good as your last game.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -Even the margin of victory reminded the playoff-bound Washington Redskins of Sean Taylor .

''I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me - we won by 21,'' veteran left tackle Chris Samuels said. ''I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know.''

From disarray and heartache to confidence and dominance, the Redskins will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the NFC after Sunday's 27-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys .

And with the hottest quarterback. And maybe the hottest running back. And with a defense coming off a game in which it allowed exactly 1 yard rushing.

And, perhaps most importantly, on a mission for the teammate who wore No. 21. It's been four weeks since the Redskins attended the funeral of their best defensive player, and they haven't lost since.

''Win for Sean'' was as strong Sunday as it was when the four-game winning streak began Dec. 6, reinforced by everything from the fiery speech given by kick returner Rock Cartwright on the field before the game to the white ''21'' on the front of the black baseball cap worn by coach Joe Gibbs at his postgame news conference.

''Play for the guy who's on your jersey - the guy who's not here, who should be here,'' Cartwright said he told his teammates. ''We know how he played the game. That's why I think guys came out and played so hard.''

The Redskins (9-7) will travel to Seattle on Saturday for a 4:30 p.m. game, a rematch of a 2005 division playoff won 20-10 by the Seahawks. Washington will be riding the longest current winning streak in the NFC, including three straight victories by double digits. It's a remarkable renaissance for a team that stayed afloat with close, ugly games before losing four straight, the last defeat coming the day before Taylor's funeral.

''To think four weeks ago, where we were, and where we are tonight, it was a great experience and a great ride,'' said Gibbs, who has quieted doubters with perhaps the best performance of his Hall of Fame career. ''To get in the playoffs was a dream of ours, and four weeks ago, obviously everybody would have said, 'You know, it looks next to impossible.'''

Sunday's game ultimately turned out to be irrelevant - other than to serve as a possible preview of a postseason game two weeks from now. Minnesota lost 22-19 to Denver and New Orleans fell 33-25 to Chicago, giving Washington the two out-of-town results it needed to make the postseason without having to beat the Cowboys.

But beat the Cowboys they did, albeit a Dallas team that rested anyone who was questionable with an injury because it had clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Still, the Cowboys played their healthy starters most of the game and were trailing 20-3 when quarterback Tony Romo was pulled in the third quarter.

''The word for us was uninspired. It shows when one team is fired up to play and one team isn't,'' coach Wade Phillips said. ''Basically, I didn't get our team ready to play.''

The Cowboys (13-3), who will have a bye next week, tried to muster any motivation they could find, but almost none of their goals were realized. They had hoped to win a 14th regular-season game for the first time in franchise history. Jason Witten caught only two passes, falling four short of becoming the second tight end to get 100 in a season. Receiver Terry Glenn , active for the first time all season, failed to catch a pass.

Marion Barber not only finished 25 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season, but Barber (minus-6 yards) and Julius Jones (7) combined for 1 yard - setting a new franchise record for rushing futility. The Cowboys defense allowed a 100-yard rusher for the first time this season. The offense went 0-for-11 converting third downs, and Dallas lost its season finale for the eighth straight year.

At least Romo (7-for-16 for 86 yards and an interception) set the single-season franchise record for completions (335). And four injured starters - including Terrell Owens - got extra time to heal, although Phillips said Owens would be ''iffy'' for the playoffs.

''We didn't even show up on the field,'' safety Roy Williams said. ''We may have showed up physically, but mentally and everything else, we didn't show up.''

Washington's winning streak has been led by backup quarterback Todd Collins , who took over when Jason Campbell dislocated a kneecap Dec. 6. Collins, getting his first substantial playing time in 10 years, has completed 64 percent of his passes with five TDs and no interceptions.

Clinton Portis ran for two touchdowns and had 104 yards on 25 carries Sunday. His 27 yards on four receptions gave him a career high for yards receiving in a season (389). His yards from scrimmage during the four-game winning streak: 122, 126, 124 and 131.

Former Redskins great Dexter Manley revived memories of the old days by taking the microphone and leading cheers of ''We want Dallas!'' from the field before kickoff. Coincidentally, those were the very words written by Taylor on an autographed photo discovered on the Internet by defensive end Phillips Daniels' wife, a photo Daniels shared with his teammates Saturday.

''To win by 21 on this day, to get into the playoffs,'' Daniels said. ''Oh, man, that's a great feeling.''

There are few absolutes in life. Water is wet. The sky is blue. You're only as good as your last game.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -Even the margin of victory reminded the playoff-bound Washington Redskins of Sean Taylor .

''I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me - we won by 21,'' veteran left tackle Chris Samuels said. ''I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know.''

From disarray and heartache to confidence and dominance, the Redskins will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the NFC after Sunday's 27-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys .

And with the hottest quarterback. And maybe the hottest running back. And with a defense coming off a game in which it allowed exactly 1 yard rushing.

And, perhaps most importantly, on a mission for the teammate who wore No. 21. It's been four weeks since the Redskins attended the funeral of their best defensive player, and they haven't lost since.

''Win for Sean'' was as strong Sunday as it was when the four-game winning streak began Dec. 6, reinforced by everything from the fiery speech given by kick returner Rock Cartwright on the field before the game to the white ''21'' on the front of the black baseball cap worn by coach Joe Gibbs at his postgame news conference.

''Play for the guy who's on your jersey - the guy who's not here, who should be here,'' Cartwright said he told his teammates. ''We know how he played the game. That's why I think guys came out and played so hard.''

The Redskins (9-7) will travel to Seattle on Saturday for a 4:30 p.m. game, a rematch of a 2005 division playoff won 20-10 by the Seahawks. Washington will be riding the longest current winning streak in the NFC, including three straight victories by double digits. It's a remarkable renaissance for a team that stayed afloat with close, ugly games before losing four straight, the last defeat coming the day before Taylor's funeral.

''To think four weeks ago, where we were, and where we are tonight, it was a great experience and a great ride,'' said Gibbs, who has quieted doubters with perhaps the best performance of his Hall of Fame career. ''To get in the playoffs was a dream of ours, and four weeks ago, obviously everybody would have said, 'You know, it looks next to impossible.'''

Sunday's game ultimately turned out to be irrelevant - other than to serve as a possible preview of a postseason game two weeks from now. Minnesota lost 22-19 to Denver and New Orleans fell 33-25 to Chicago, giving Washington the two out-of-town results it needed to make the postseason without having to beat the Cowboys.

But beat the Cowboys they did, albeit a Dallas team that rested anyone who was questionable with an injury because it had clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Still, the Cowboys played their healthy starters most of the game and were trailing 20-3 when quarterback Tony Romo was pulled in the third quarter.

''The word for us was uninspired. It shows when one team is fired up to play and one team isn't,'' coach Wade Phillips said. ''Basically, I didn't get our team ready to play.''

The Cowboys (13-3), who will have a bye next week, tried to muster any motivation they could find, but almost none of their goals were realized. They had hoped to win a 14th regular-season game for the first time in franchise history. Jason Witten caught only two passes, falling four short of becoming the second tight end to get 100 in a season. Receiver Terry Glenn , active for the first time all season, failed to catch a pass.

Marion Barber not only finished 25 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season, but Barber (minus-6 yards) and Julius Jones (7) combined for 1 yard - setting a new franchise record for rushing futility. The Cowboys defense allowed a 100-yard rusher for the first time this season. The offense went 0-for-11 converting third downs, and Dallas lost its season finale for the eighth straight year.

At least Romo (7-for-16 for 86 yards and an interception) set the single-season franchise record for completions (335). And four injured starters - including Terrell Owens - got extra time to heal, although Phillips said Owens would be ''iffy'' for the playoffs.

''We didn't even show up on the field,'' safety Roy Williams said. ''We may have showed up physically, but mentally and everything else, we didn't show up.''

Washington's winning streak has been led by backup quarterback Todd Collins , who took over when Jason Campbell dislocated a kneecap Dec. 6. Collins, getting his first substantial playing time in 10 years, has completed 64 percent of his passes with five TDs and no interceptions.

That wasn't either teams last game so there goes your theory about only being as good as your last game.

And I don't think even your most die hard fans won't argue that - that game meant nothing to the Cowboys. Nice try though.

Quite a few people in Tampa were pissed that the Bucs drafted Talib instead of Mike Jenkins. I think Talib will turn out to be a better corner, because Raheem Morris is pretty good at developing young CBs. I'm just glad to see a guy from USF go in the 1st round. I look forward to watching him play.
