apeters Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It is so frustrating listening to Emmitt on ESPN always dissing the skins. You got to give Johson props for showing a little respect. HTTR CZAR: Are some teams making a mistake resting certain players for this final game? JJ:"The interesting curve on the Dallas-Washington game is that if Washington gets into the playoffs, the Cowboys may actually see them in their first playoff game. And Washington is a team that gives Dallas problems. It might be to the Cowboys' benefit to knock Washington out of the playoffs even though that would mean playing some of your better players." HL: "Like with Indy, I don't think they really fear Tennessee that much in the playoffs even though the Titans have given them a few close games. They are not a real threat to the Colts, but the way Washington is playing right now, they could be a factor. But all indications are Dallas is going to rest its players." JJ: "I think because Washington plays them so well, I think it is very important for Dallas to prepare for the game and try to win and only rest the players that are hurt. I can't say it enough that Washington plays Dallas really well and it remains a huge rivalry game. If I am Dallas, I would not want to see Washington in the opening round. It's too their benefit to knock them out of the playoffs." HL: "The way Washington is playing right now, they may end up being a tough team in the NFC playoffs. The coaches there are doing a real nice job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Jimmy has always been fair to us. My only beef with him is he should have insisted Norv be his successor. That would have spared us a pitiful stretch in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Edds Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 damn i am so pumped for this game, just got my tix ... we better bring our A game. Regardless of what anyone says, the cowboys will be fired up and ready to play us for 60 minutes, regardless of who is in the game. i expect a hard fought game!

BraveWarrior Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Speaking of Emmitt Smith...will he be returning to ESPN next year??...Can't stand that guy, he's like a cold I can't get rid of. I can't imagine how any sane execs at ESPN would evaluate Emmitt's performance this year and still keep him on for next season. He's a horrible commentator. Every time he has to read from the teleprompter he screws it up. Also, he tends to slip into ebonics too often. Not good for a a TV personality. On top of all that, he shows his bias for, and against, certain teams. Commentators are not supposed to be homers. They are supposed to be objective.

docsandy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 As much as I hate to say it, Jimmie has been pretty unbiased when it comes to the skins... and the first weekend after ST's death.. he got pretty choked up when he talked about it.

mcarey032 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah somehow, I think that the Cowboys are going to be starting their players this weekend and they will play a significant amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLWORLD Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cool read, thanks for putting it up... This team, has given me a new reason to love them. After our loss this season, seemed kind of empty watching them and wondered if I had just made myself lose interest. Then they just seem to pull together and show what a TEAM can do if they do it for eachother. This little streak they are on is just them going out and doing it for eachother, they are finally a TEAM. So the critics can't help but to acknowledge it. But one thing is sure, rather they lose tonight, 1st, 2nd round or even the big game.. I will probably smile, and cry for them all at the same time. After Sean's death I mentioned to my dad that they are "off the hook" for the rest of the year. Win or lose, this team has gotten an unreal love and respect from me. These guys have pulled together so fast, so close it is just unreal. Maybe Joe is to take credit for it, but like many of you guys here have mentioned.. Joe was the ONLY coach for them through this. Hail to these Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SearchHorizon Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Funny that Jimmy Johnson is almost EXPECTING Dallas to have a rematch against the Skins ... He also seems to think that the Skins may knock them off the playoffs the second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
