The only way the cowboys win this game...is if they switch uniforms.
Well, they kind of tried that by forcing NE to where the home jerseys. We'll see how that turns out for them. LOL

But Dallas always wears White at home, apart from on Thanksgiving.
 
Full participation was reported more than once - but there is no reason to rush Wendell while kids rolling.

Posters said that "full participation" meant that a player was ready to start. Well. Wendell is inactive, and Brown will not be a starter.
 
Glad Tarrell Brown is active.
Hope the foot injury is improving.
 
Dobson and Rufus inactive? Too bad
 
I'm kinda surprised Mason has passed Jackson already.

Their situations are different. Jackson plays only RG. Mason can play at both spots, and at center. It seems that Kline has more of an advantage over Jackson at RG than he has over Mason at LG.

In addition, Mason is more position flexible and more likely to active when Wendell and/or Stork are back.

I still think if Wendell was fully healthy, a combination of Mason, Jackson, or Kline is better at this point. More athleticism and strength/power at the position with any of the aforementioned players.

I'm curious what the lineup says about the game plan. Mason is undersized but a fantastic run blocker.

We have no evidence at all that Wendell is not a better RG than any of that group. Wendell was a solid starter last year at RG. At present, it seems that Kline is the best of the rest. We have one more piece of information. Kline was here last year, and not preferable to Wendell.

6-1 310 is not undersized for a G

True but Wendy can be muscled around.
 
Will Greg Hardy wear pink shoes and wristbands today??
 
I think people are reading too much into how the OL looks for the first snap of the game. There's almost certainly going to be the usual rotation. Who has the most snaps will be more important than who has the first snap.

Mason can play center? I didn't know that.

I think Jackson has played fine, but I'm ecstatic about the play of Mason, I never thought he would become an acceptable pass blocker this fast. And he is a bowling ball at run blocking, I could see RB's following behind him for years to come.
 
OT: I know we've been down this road with the Bengals before, but they really do look good. That D-Line is active. The LB's are above average. And the secondary is aggressive. Dalton still Daltons at times, but he also has looked like a legit top-tier guy for long stretches in the games I've watched (2). They still have to win a playoff game . . . heck, they still have to play a full season. But if things continue this way, I would not be surprised to see them grab a top seed.
