Kickoff
Aug 22, 2008 Dancing With the 'Tards, David Anderson's Dance Party, Fuck the Cowboys, History, Kickoff
The White Ernest Givins? Nice Yahoo! write-up on David Anderson. Haircut notwithstanding, as a fellow short white guy, I am pulling for DA to make the team. And, really, if we are being honest, don’t you have to put him above Jacoby on the depth chart right now? (H/T Eric)
BONUS DAVID ANDERSON INFO: Ran a 4.53 at the Combine, but was disappointed with it as he routinely ran in the high 4.4s in the weeks leading up to Indy. Scored a 43 on the Wonderlic as a junior. One of only two WRs at the 2006 Combine to not drop a pass.
Captain, the Dipshit-o-meter is pegged! Ridiculously flawed betting advice regarding tonight’s Texans-Cowboys tilt. In all the Wade Phillip cocksuckery going on, the author ignores the simple fact that Wade’s one Preseason Game 3 loss was LAST YEAR TO THE TEXANS. (Also, if any Cowboys fans are reading this, spare me your excuses. Your team gameplanned and tried to blitz and still got beat like a rented midget.)
Sadly…this is probably true. According to the Dallas Morning News Cowboys blog (as opposed to the inexplicable Houston Chronicle Cowboys blog), Jacques Reeves would have a hard time making the Cowboys’ 2008 roster. I am suddenly having flashes of Romo targeting him like we targeted Jason David last week. Someone hold me.
Finally. A present for bfd:

I’m not giving up on Reeves yet.. I’ll let you know after this game. He better start showing why the coaches wanted to pay all that money for him, if he does I would absolutely love having taken him from Dallas. Keeping my fingers crossed.

@1Texan: Agreed. Too early to call him a mistake or a bust. But, dammit, he needs to pick it up TONIGHT.

@Matt: Hasn’t BFD been going through a drought?
Tonights game will bring a clearer picture with the boyz playing at least 3 quarters. As much as I hate the Cowpukes (and the BE-SF’s) it’s their first game at home and it’s prime time.
The perfect storm! Texans 31-21, Mario takes a dump down Homo’s throat and Jessica holding the cup…

I just went through 30″ of rain with tropical storm Fay and it’s still raining, but she would make it all worth it.

Here’s my preview of tonight’s game. I actually found a Cowboy fan that isn’t completely full of crap to help with it.

Really, it was an excuse to use Liston’s link from last year about the power of the Governor’s cup.

Okay, who left this message at the Cowboy blog:
“Posted by Adam Jones @ 9:00 AM Thu, Aug 21, 2008
I’ve got 10x the arrests that Jacques Reeves’ has.”
Bwahahahahaha.

@Steph: I don’t even get it.

I was gonna leave a message on yours, but I can’t for some reason (probably cookie related as I don’t accept them often). Anyway, you hit my three high-points, for sure.

And if that picture doesn’t look like the beginning of a Money Shot, I don’t know what does.

P.S. — I believe that may actually be the first time the phrase ‘Money Shot’ has been broken out at DGDB&D. There’s a lot of folks out there who would have lost a bet on that.

@Shake: I’ve looked at this picture on 4 separate occasions today just for that reason. Make that 5.

@ other pervs: I think I love her. If someone undertakes the arduous task of looking at the Texans cheer squad and finds out her name, I’ll make her the official cheerleader of this blog.

To his credit… He’s better than Petey. And while he got thoroughly embarrassed on that Reggie Bush TD grab, his coverage wasn’t horrible. He played that one long pass pretty tight, but it was just a perfect throw. Petey would have gotten called for PI and defensive holding while still allowing the completion on that play.

Not to mention, we had no pass rush in that game. And I don’t blame that on the D-line; it’s just preseason. Unless you’re the Dallas fuckheads, you don’t blitz, and for the most part, coaches aren’t gonna run plays that might let their QBs get decked by a DE. Well, unless Chris Taylor misses a block…

*Agreed he’s better than Petey, but that’s like saying I am prettier than Travis Johnson’s taint. Also agreed that the lack of pass rush has exposed him a bit. I disagree however that he played the Patten throw perfectly; he never got his head around or his hands up and he was relying too much on thinking Patten would tip him off to the ball location and arrival. His coverage was good as far as placement, but he failed to take advantage of it. That’s a bad thing.

Yet another reason why Frank Bush will end up as our DCord sooner rather than later. Quotes from postgame notes on the Texans website from Mario:
“Mario Williams hinted that the nature of preseason game preparation may have something to do with the team’s struggles to rush the passer.
“We’ve still got a lot of work to do,” Williams said. “Thankfully, we’ve still got another week. We’ve just got to work together a little better, not just with the run but against the pass and play off of each other better.
“Also, studying the opponent a lot more wouldn’t hurt either. So, we’ll see.””
