Unfortunately, Bledsoe Still Has Something Left in the Tank

I live in Houston and I watched the first half of the Cowboys-Texans game. Bledsoe looked good; on one drive he completed 9 passes in a row, then threw one away, completed his next pass, and then handed off to Julius Jones for a touchdown. I know Bledsoe's success depends on the offensive line, but he's dangerous when given protection. On another drive, Bledsoe led them down the field in the 2 minute drill and completed 5 of 6 (the one incompletion was a throw away). With 40 seconds left, Bledsoe led them downfield again, where (with no timeouts left) Jose Cortez missed an easy field goal.

Hopefully, the Cowboys' offensive line won't give him time when the regular season starts

I didn't want to waste a post on this, but is anybody else sick of the rain messing up their direct tv? It just started raining here (it's not even raining that hard) and I havent had a picture for 10 minutes. Such B.S. I hope it doesn't rain during the Skins games!!

Dude, I've had DirecTV for 10 years and have very rarely had rain fade. If it rains heavy of course you will have it, but otherwise it's great.

Bledsoe has something in the tank alright, a giant turd.

In all fairness, he's still a talented quarterback. Fortunately, the Cowboys offensive line isn't that good (their right tackle and center positions are weak points). I don't think the Redskins defense will have a tough time getting to Bledsoe.

I'm far more terrified of Demarcus Ware. Ware had another good night.

You may want to get your connections checked and also try a different transponder. The equipment can be somewhat sensitive if not connected properly from what I've heard. Strange thing is I have an older model and have never changed it.

The NFC East is the toughest division for Bledsoe to play in considering the pressure that the Skins, the Eagles and even the Giants can generate

One thing tha has really stuck out is the lack of a rapport between Bledsoe and Keyshawn....but Im hopeful come opening day things will have worked themselves out

Last years 7th round selection Crayton, a WR who was a QB in college, continues to distinuish himself and has locked up the #3 job--tremendous strength and hands

RG without Rivera is a concern, but if tonites game was a regular season game, Rivera plays

The RT position is going to improve game by game..and we will be using a platoon @ C between Al Johnson and Gurode

And some were concerned anout our secondary...Carr something like 7-19 for 53 yards and 2 ints

This draft and this offseason is going to make the defense a very good unit for a long time

And heck, Spears and Ferguson still havent seen the field

And dont piss off Roy Williams like Mark Brunner did tonite--ask Andre Johnson

la73hof,

I have no doubt that the Cowboys defense will be good for quite some time. DeMarcus Ware, Terrance Newman (who should have a bounceback year), Roy Williams, and Marcus Spears are some good young players. I question the move to the 3-4 considering how much money is invested in and how talented Glover and Ellis are, but I still think the defense should play well.

However, I reiterate the sentiments that many (including myself) have expressed throughout this past offseason - Bledsoe will not look good behind the line that the Cowboys have. Flozell Adams is good but Larry Allen is aging, Marco Rivera is not 100%, and the center and right tackle positions are totally unsteady. Moreover, the Cowboys have VERY little depth on the O-line. If Allen, Adams, or Rivera go down, the Cowboys offense will be awful. Finally, Julius Jones and Jason Witten are two very good players, but they won't be able to compensate for Drew Bledsoe's immobility and problems in the trenches if in fact there are injured O-linemen.

my directv never works when a medium rain starts falling. if it's a light rain, it get interrupted occasionally with a lost signal, but if it's a medium rain, there's a good chance i can't watch t.v. until the rain stops completely.

Ive had direct tv for about 8 years and live in the florida keys where sept and oct are the rainy months.check your signal you can have tv if your signal is in the 60s but if its 95 and above your only miss out on less than 24 hours of tv a year which isnt that bad
