The Cowboys are 2-2 at the bye with a matchup at the New England Patriots up next.They could easily have been 3-1 but for the last collapse against the Lions.And now they facing a possible 2-3 mark because of the daunting task facing them at New England.That is the biggest shame of giving that game away to the Lions after having a 24-point lead in the third quarter.But the Cowboys can also focus on the fact that they have two come-from-behind wins so as easily as they could imagine being 3-1 or even 4-0 if not for the late collapse against the Jets in the season opener, they could be 1-3 or 0-4 using the same logic. The 49ers and Redskins feel like they let games against the Cowboys slip away from the them.So the Cowboys are what they are: a .500 team looking to get some momentum and get off the up and down roller coaster of win one, lose one.However with games at New England, then a home against the lowly Rams up next, it looks like they will remain a .500 team for a little while longer.Good news at the bye: The bye comes at a good time for the Cowboys health wise. Cornerback Orlando Scandrick ankle, receiver Miles Austin hamstring and defensive end Jason Hatcher calf will all be back and ready to go after the bye after being sidelined due to injuries. Quarterback Tony Romo's fractured rib and running back Felix Jones' dislocated shoulder should be closer to 100 percent.Rookie tackle Tyron Smith has not only been better than advertised he has been the team's best offensive lineman. The defense has taken to Rob Ryan's system faster than expected considering the lockout and no offseason program. The Cowboys ranked fourth in the league overall and first against the run. They are also third in sacks with 13.The Cowboys have done this with a banged up cornerback position. They will be at full strength after the bye with the return of Scandrick so they could be even better.Bad news at the bye: As tantalizing as receiver Dez Bryant has been, he has also been an enigma because of his penchant for injuries and poor conditioning that has rendered him a non-factor late in games. He has played in only three games this season. He has not caught a pass after the first quarter in two of them, both Cowboys losses.Romo still has a tendency for making crucial mistakes in the biggest moments. He is now 3-7 in his last 10 starts. He is 20-22 in games decided by seven points or less in his career. The Cowboys are saying the right things publicly but they are concerned about his performance late in games and might start reeling him in.Also disappointing is the team's decision-making late in games. Not only should coach Jason Garrett be questioned for passing too much with a 24-point lead, but running backs Tashard Choice and Felix Jones both made bone-headed plays in the final moments of the last two games. Choice ran out of bounds on the game-winning field-goal drive against the Redskins when the Cowboys were trying to run the clock down and Jones ran out of bounds on fourth down on the final offensive play against the Lions short of the first down. He forgot what down it was. Garrett has worked hard preaching game situations to his team and they failed him, not a good sign going forward.There are two schools of thought in Dallas.Either you will have to live with Tony Romo's mistakes because they are a part of the same aggressiveness and gunslinger mentality that makes him so good at times.Or he will have to be fixed.Owner Jerry Jones subscribes to the theory that Romo will always be Romo and you have to take the good and bad and live with the consequences.Coach Jason Garrett, however, refuses to accept that position.He doesn't want Romo to lose the things that make him unique, but he said the penchant for mistakes especially late in games must be rooted out of his package.You're always trying to improve, Garrett said.  You're always trying to learn from the situations that you're in. These end-of-game situations in relation to the football are things that he has to get better at and he'll be the first one to say that. We have to find a way help him get better at that and I think he has been better in different circumstances in regards to those things and now he has to make sure he does it on a more consistent basis.That's our job as coaches to help him do that. It's ours as teammates, guys on offense and guys on defense, to help him in those situations as well. We have to be better as a football team in those situations. We have to do a better job on offense in the other areas and a better job on defense stopping them and we have to do a better job on special teams creating positive situations for everybody. It's a team thing. Tony will get better and hopefully our team will get better in handling those situations.With 41 victories in 64 starts with the Cowboys, there is no question Romo has been successful as a starter. But he has only three victories in his last seven starts.Still, Garrett said he trusts Romo to lead this team.I don't think it's difficult to trust him, Garrett said. We've had a lot of success in these situations over the last six years with Tony as our quarterback. Now, have they been 100-percent perfect? No. But you try to create the environments, and you try to do the things as a coach, to help him be as good as he can be in those situations. But again, it's a team thing. It's everybody together. Tony is a big part of it, because he's our quarterback. But it's the other guys on offense, the other guys on defense and throughout our team.But his late-game issues, especially in close games are starting to be a concern, especially when you look at the big picture.He is ranked 21st in the fourth quarter this season, completing 59.2 percent of his passes for 384 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and a 73.9 passer rating.Romo is only 20-22 in games decided by seven points or less with a 87.2 passer rating. Romo is also just 23-21 in December/January games with 10 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.Garrett acknowledges that if Romo doesn't get better in late-game situations it will affect his play-calling and he may have to reign him in.You always have to have an understanding of where he is, how he's doing, how he's playing and how he can handle a given situation, Garrett said. It's my job as a play-caller to make sure we're putting all our players in the right situation, and that hasn't changed from day one.Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.

  Foster ready to carry load for Texans
  RB Arian Foster carried 30 times for 155 yards and scored a touchdown in the 17-10 victory at Pittsburgh. He also caught three passes, meaning he touched the ball 33 times in his first action since suffering a strained hamstring. The Texans need a similar performance from Foster to defeat the Raiders.It surprised me that he was able to hold up for 30 carries, play the way he was playing and still bring the ball hard downhill at the end, coach Gary Kubiak said. He said, 'Kube, I'm fine, Let's go,' so I trust him and he came out of the game good. I asked him today how he's feeling. He said, 'Other than being sore, I feel great.' That's a good sign because he's a better player the more he carries the ball.Coach Gary Kubiak isn't sure about the availability of backup running backs Ben Tate and Derrick Ward. Tate is out with a strained groin. Ward hasn't played since the first game because of a sprained ankle and a sore shoulder.I'd say Ben's probably a little bit ahead, but I don't know, Kubiak said. I know that Derrick is much better. I told you guys the process we're going through with the injection and stuff. Coming out of the injection this week, he's much better than he was last week, so, hopefully, that's a good sign, but he's still got some ground to make up to play.FB James Casey is so versatile he plays in the slot, in the backfield and at wide receiver. He's also became a terrific lead blocker who picks up the blitz, too.James is a versatile player, coach Gary Kubiak said. It just kind of all depends on what we're doing game-wise. We got in the Pittsburgh game last week where we were physical and running the ball and playing a lot of one-back formations, trying to protect our edges.You never know how a game's going to go. James has always got his stuff in the game plan where he's got a chance to be very productive. How it ends up, I don't know.CB Jason Allen played a tremendous game against Pittsburgh with six unassisted tackles, two passes defensed, an interception and the hardest hit of the game on Hines Ward coming over the middle. He started in place of the injured Kareem Jackson and could again.He got a chance to start and played extremely well, coach Gary Kubiak said. Kareem was unable to practice full-time today. Toward the end of the week, hopefully, they're both healthy, but I think Jason's obviously earned the right to play more.Who's going to start the game? Let me watch practice this week and see. I consider them both starters. That's the way they're playing.BY THE NUMBERS 4  Consecutive games in which DE Antonio Smith has recorded a sack. He has four, tied with Mario Williams for the team lead. Smith's career high is 5.5 in 2007, his last season with the Arizona Cardinals.QUOTE TO NOTE I guess anybody can assume whatever they want, but generally speaking, we do whatever the defense presents itself. If there are some cracks to run, we'll do it. If they give us a chance to throw it, we'll do that, too. We've got some guys that can get open. Hopefully, we'll do enough running that they'll have to crowd the line and make plays.  Offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, when asked about the strategy without injured receiver Andre Johnson.Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.

  The news keep getting worse for the Rams. On the same day the team lost cornerback Bradley Fletcher for the season after he tore the ACL in his right knee in practice, wide receiver Danny Amendola was in Dallas receiving a second opinion on the elbow and triceps injury he suffered in the season opener against the Eagles.Amendola has decided to have surgery in the next few days on the recommendation of three doctors.When Amendola dislocated his left elbow against Philadelphia, there was also a slight tear about 10-15 percent to his triceps. The decision then was to rehab and hopefully be able to play at some point with the injury.Amendola returned to practice last week, but on Thursday he suffered more damage to the triceps in a non-contact situation. The estimate now is that the there is more than a 50-percrnt tear.The risk is if he tries to return later in the regular season without surgery, he could completely tear the muscle.The Rams now have to decide whether to place Amendola on injured reserve. With the surgery, he could be available to play at some time in January, but the regular season ends Jan. 1.Meanwhile, Fletcher didn't believe the knee injury he suffered in practice Wednesday was anything to worry about. Unfortunately for Fletcher and the Rams, he was wrong.An MRI revealed the torn ACL in Fletcher's right knee, an injury that will require surgery and put him out for the rest of the season. His loss only adds to a succession of injuries at cornerback that has crippled the position for the Rams.They also lost out on undrafted free agent James Dockery, who agreed to terms with the Rams only to renege and sign with the Cleveland Browns. Dockery is on the Browns' 53-man roster.The injury issues began when training camp opened and Marquis Johnson was placed on physically unable to perform because of a knee injury suffered when he was on the practice squad last season. Johnson is eligible to begin practicing after the sixth week of the season.Since training camp started, including Fletcher, the Rams will have placed seven cornerbacks on injured reserve: Jerome Murphy, Ron Bartell, Mikail Baker, Chris Smith, Dionte Dinkins and Tim Atchison. The latter three were subsequently released.Without Fletcher, the current cornerbacks on the roster are Justin King, Al Harris, Josh Gordy and Rod Hood.Fletcher's injury occurred when he went to the ground while covering wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker and landed on his knee. On the play, Sims-Walker injured his shoulder, but he was not scheduled to go for any additional tests.After practice, Fletcher, didn't believe the injury was serious.He said, I came down wrong. It was just a go route and I landed on my knee. I feel like it's all going to be fine.The undermanned secondary will face Green Bay, Dallas and New Orleans when they return from the bye.Meanwhile, the injury bug has also spread to the team's coaches.Defensive coordinator Ken Flajole, who was walking gingerly when he spoke to the media, injured his groin in a drill.He said, I was trying to be a young guy and help on the pass drill and I realized I'm an old guy. I pulled my groin. I was like a linebacker and I was trying to show the safety where the 'backer would be. Let me tell you, my youthful indiscretion got the best of me. I realized I've got to be in better shape.James Laurinaitis has got nothing to worry about.The Rams won't be changing their schemes during their bye week. They won't be making any drastic changes.What they will be doing is examining closely what they are at this point. Many teams around the NFL are trying to figure that out right now, while establishing a personality.Aside from playing bad football during the first four games of the season, this Rams team doesn't have an identity.From an explosive beginning when running back Steven Jackson scored on a 47-yard run on the first offensive play of the season, the offense has quickly degenerated into a dysfunctional mess that was fueled by the injury Jackson sustained on that run and the loss of wide receiver Danny Amendola, quarterback Sam Bradford's security blanket, also in that first game.The coaching staff wasted no time Monday beginning the self-scouting process that could also include some soul-searching. Players practiced Tuesday and Wednesday, but most of the coach's time will be spent being realistic assessing the talent on hand and figuring out the best way of utilizing it when the season resumes with an Oct. 16 game in Green Bay.As coach Steve Spagnuolo said, You never know when you get the schedule at the beginning of the year if the bye week comes at a good time. In this particular case I think it does.It wasn't difficult for Spagnuolo to list what will be scrutinized closely.Certainly protections, certainly third down on both sides, certainly the run fronts on offense. These are the things that just stick out, he said. You guys can probably list another five or six of them, but we'll look at them all. And the thing you do have to be careful with, with that, and I've learned this over the years, is you can't go searching for things that are not there.And you can't knee-jerk react to things that you find, because in a lot of instances, it just comes back to fundamentals. I know that's not the glorious answer that you want, but a lot of times that's what it comes down to.Fundamentals like catching the ball, blocking somebody, lining up correctly or not starting too soon have been lacking. Games can change when a team is simply opportunistic and fundamentally sound.I think some of that is, we're living through some growing pains there, he said. We've got guys out there for the first time in NFL games. I know it's the fourth game and I'm not trying to make excuses, but if you don't catch the football ... both sides of the ball; if you don't catch the football, come up with it when it's on the ground, it makes it hard to win. It changes everything when you get the turnovers on defense and when you catch those particular balls on offense. The whole thing changes.When asked about changing schemes something that would be unrealistic anyway during a season, Spagnuolo said, Both schemes offensively and defensively, all three including special teams, have been proven in this league at various places. We believe in that. I know the players believe.What I do think we need to do is do it better. I believe that. That's as simple as I can state it and I believe in that. Will we find a couple of wrinkles? Yeah. You do that all the time. If we were 4-0 we'd find a couple of scheme wrinkles, but at the core we're not going to abandon what we do, we're just going to do it better.One wrinkle could be rolling Bradford out more.We could do that, Spagnuolo said. We talked a little bit more about more three-step. Where it gets to be a problem and we made this statement this morning when we talked, the shorter passes would be fine. What we've got to do is stay out of the third-and-really-longs because then it becomes a little bit tougher. I'm with you on the movement passes which we did have in there, we'll probably find ways to get more of them in there. Sam does throw the ball well on the run.Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.

  Hall returns, says he took Adderall
  FB Ahmard Hall returned from his four-game suspension Monday and Wednesday addressed the matter with the media. Hall said the banned supplement he tested positive for was Adderall, which he used to keep himself awake during a drive from Nashville to Texas last February.It was a stimulant I took to stay up on a long drive. It was Adderall, Hall said. A lot of people take it for studying. You know what I'm saying. That's what I took. I think it's a prescription, but I got it from a friend.Hall's return should help the Titans' run game, which has been sluggish thus far, and he said he doesn't mind challenging Chris Johnson when the need arises.With CJ, I'm not afraid to push him, and I'm not afraid to challenge him, if that's what it takes to get him to go a little bit harder than he normally might go, Hall said. If I can liven him up or give him a boost of confidence, I'm going to push him.DE Dave Ball said the hit that temporarily knocked him out of Sunday's win over Cleveland was a bit of a cheap shot by Browns G Shawn Lauvao. Still, Ball did not take offense to it, and said Lauvao apologized afterward.It was a little bit late, but whatever. I'm sure I've done some bad stuff to somebody, so maybe that's payback or whatever, Ball said. I was assisting on the tackle, and he was just kind of strafing the pile, so whatever. I don't really care about that stuff. It's football. You give some, you take some.CB Cortland Finnegan is playing probably as well as he has in the past three years, when he was an All-Pro selection in 2008. He credits defensive coordinator Jerry Gray with helping put him in position to use his strengths to make plays. Finnegan was credited with 15 tackles in the win over the Browns.The coaching, with Coach Gray plays everybody to their strengths, and when you're in there constantly and watching film and doing the little things, you find yourself making more plays.There was sadness within the Titans organization with the news of former offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger's death last Friday night from a rare form of cancer. Heimerdinger was diagnosed with cancer on his spine 11 months ago, but insisted on finishing the 2010 season as offensive coordinator, rarely missing a meeting or a practice even as he was undergoing treatments.The disease worsened over the summer, and Heimerdinger had been to a number of cancer centers in recent times and was in Mexico looking into treatments there at the time of his death.BY THE NUMBERS 104.7  Matt Hasselbeck's passer rating through the first four games of the season, a number that would be a career-high for the 36-year-old.QUOTE TO NOTE You learn how expendable you are in the league, because nothing stops.  FB Ahmard Hall on what he learned during his four-game suspension.Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.

 It appears center Nick Mangold will renew his rivalry with Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork on Sunday when the Jets visit New England.Mangold has missed the past two games with a high ankle sprain, but he has practiced on a limited basis the last two days. Coach Rex Ryan said Mangold is ready to roll for Sunday's contest, and when asked if he would play, Mangold said, I plan on it.Mangold's presence should benefit a New York running game that is ranked 30th in the NFL through four games. The Jets were fourth in the league in that category last season, and they averaged 4.1 yards per rush in their upset playoff win over New England in January, helped by Mangold often winning the one-on-one matchup with Wilfork. A strong running game also would control clock and keep Tom Brady and the high-powered New England offense idling on the bench.It also should help the Jets that they are facing a Patriots defense that is allowing 4.8 yards per carry. But Mangold said those statistics can be misleading.When you look at a team, Mangold said, you can't get sucked in by numbers. You have to look at them on film and see what they're doing, and know also that this is a huge rivalry and the game is always a fantastic matchup and the atmosphere seems to elevate the performances.When asked about improving the ground game, veteran running back LaDainian Tomlinson said, Part of it is doing it a little bit more, being more balanced, and part of it is ... execution, understanding what we're up against, executing the play exactly. On offense, it's tough because if one person, and I'm sure you media guys have heard this, if one person doesn't do their job, then the play breaks down.So there figure to be fewer missed assignments with veteran Mangold making the line calls, as opposed to undrafted rookie Colin Baxter, who had started the past two games.Having Mangold back is a sense of comfort for all of us on offense, said Tomlinson, who has 59 yards on 20 carries. I can't tell you how easy he makes our jobs on offense. We don't have to do as much. Nick makes all the calls, and he gets people in the right places. ... So we really enjoy having him back. We hope it stays that way and he continues to be healthy.Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said, I think everybody here knows how we are capable of running the football. This is the first-quarter mark of the season. We're four games into it, coming off a very poor performance, and again, we're not panicking, we're working, and I think that's all you can do. You roll your sleeves up, you get back to work, you point out the things that need to get corrected both as players and coaches, and you realize that you've got to move on and move forward, and that's what we're doing.The Jets have lost two consecutive games, and now there appears to be some sniping in the locker room.After the team's 34-17 loss to Baltimore on Sunday night, wide receiver Santonio Holmes said the offensive line needed to play better, and he also said that quarterback Mark Sanchez has to do a better job of making reads and getting the ball where he needs to, so his playmakers can make plays.Holmes also said that on the clinching touchdown interception by Lardarius Webb, Sanchez threw the ball late.When asked Wednesday if he took any offense, Sanchez gave an interesting response.No, I think our player policy is just to try and keep things in-house, he said, so that kind of stuff won't happen. ... Moving forward, that won't happen. We've talked about it, and those individual improvements and stuff, that happens on a personal level. You go with your coaches and you go through your reads, and I'm going to get better, but that kind of stuff doesn't go past this locker room.When asked if Holmes' comments were addressed in the locker room, the third-year quarterback said, Yes, within this locker room, we talk about stuff like that. That's about as far as I'm going to go on that.When Holmes was asked about Sanchez's reaction, he replied, I honestly don't know what was said that I caused a stir in the locker room.If anybody feels bad about that then I'm sorry, but as a captain, that's my job to point it out amongst ourselves, Holmes said. And if the media took it the wrong way, I apologize for it. But as far as meaning it to dictate anything negative on my team, I would never do that. I didn't sign back here to be that guy.Perhaps Holmes shouldn't have made his comments, but it isn't as if he is wrong. Sanchez has been telegraphing many passes and not doing a very good job of going through his progressions.Both Holmes and Sanchez were named captains by coach Rex Ryan before the season, and Ryan said Monday, when asked about Holmes' criticisms, he doesn't mute his players.If coach Ryan put a 'C' on my chest, Holmes said, everybody should listen to what I have to say whether it's good or bad and let's build from it. Let's not take it out and say 'OK, we're going to trash this person for saying something bad about the team in the media.'Of course, Holmes isn't the only person criticizing Sanchez, who is making 16.5 million this season but isn't playing up to that salary. He had six touchdown passes, five interceptions and four lost fumbles through the first four games, and is the 28th-rated passer in the NFL.But Sanchez made it clear he hasn't lost confidence in himself, despite his struggles, as the Jets prepare to visit New England.That's what I'm trying to do this week, he said, show the guys that ... I'm the man, I don't care what anybody says, I'm the man in this building and we've got to win this game.That's what I've got to exude. That's the confidence I need to have. That's the way I felt this week.Tight end Dustin Keller said Sanchez's even-keel makeup should help him move forward.It doesn't matter if he's getting hit or he's passing for 400 yards, Keller said. He's going to be the same guy no matter what.The Jets hope Sanchez is the same guy he was in the last meeting with New England, when he threw three touchdown passes with no interceptions in the Jets' upset playoff win in January.It's nice to know that we went up there in the playoffs and we won that game last year, Sanchez said. That was huge for us, but it's a whole new game so we have to be ready.SERIES HISTORY 102nd regular-season meeting. Jets lead series, 51-49-1. The Jets and Patriots have split four regular-season meetings since Rex Ryan became coach in 2009, but the Jets won the most recent game, a 28-21 victory in the AFC divisional playoffs in Foxborough, Mass. The Jets were able to stymie the New England offense thanks to a great defensive gameplan after being drubbed 45-3 on that same field the previous month. The Patriots didn't score a touchdown until 13 seconds remained in the third quarter. Mark Sanchez was 16-for-24 for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the game.Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.
