5 games without a turnover is rare, but I also think coughing it up 3 times in a game is almost as much of a fluke for this team.Rare,and lucky. Because, instead of fumbling 4 times against the Rams, if we had fumbled say, once more against the Saints, twice against the Cowboys, and once vs. the Eagles (same ball security %), we'd be staring 2-4 in the face right now, and 0-3 in the division.
Even with the loss to the Rams, we're clearly better off the way things HAVE worked out as opposed to what could have been.

I think what this proves is that Zorn (or Gibbs for that matter) can stress ball security all they want, but if the QB's arm is hit, or a helmet hits the ball squarely, it's still going to come out.
What hasn't happened yet is that Jason Campbell hasn't thrown a ball into coverage that he shouldn't have thrown. And that's a huge advantage we have over other teams. Because teams that play us are throwing very interceptable balls, and if that trend continues we will dominate the turnover margin this season.

Romo willing to play?

ha ha! Good! this could mean big time trouble for the girls. however, if romo hurts it bad enough to where he can't play the Wash. game, Brad Johnson will prob rip us to shreds,(always does), but in the same breath, dallas prob won't win many other games.a gift and a curse...
on another note, does anyone else find it bizarre that we play dallas at wash. after our bye week but cowgirls also have their bye week that same week? kinda takes away any advantage of the bye week doesn't it? In all my years i don't think I've ever heard of 2 teams playing each other after bye week. they should do them all like this...imho

JC is really doing a great job protecting the ball. Just an amazing job to not have an INT so far.

He couldn't hold onto the ball with all of his fingers in tact. So, how many fumbles will he have with a broken finger? 7? 8? :D

GO RAMS!
They pressured Campbell very well, better than anyone else this season so far. Hopefully they can get some good shots on Romo too.
