This should be common knowledge: Terry is always wrong.

thats a very misleading stat for a CB because really good CBs don’t get a lot of INTs since QBs don’t throw their way. CBs with a lot of INTs aren’t great cover corners because QBs know they can beat them and throw their way often.

Case in point Deion Sanders was the best cover corner of all time and didn’t get a lot of INTs because QBs were afraid to throw his way. QBs are afraid to throw at Pacman and Newman because their receivers rarely if ever get open.

Believe me, you’re not going to find 2 better cover corners in the league than Newman and Pacman, not to mention Henry is pretty decent himself. Throw in Hamlin who is one of the best safeties in the league, and a first rd CB with great talent in Mike Jenkins , no team in the league has better talent in the secondary.

As a side note, Roy Williams will rarely see the field in passing situations this season as Henry is taking over his spot in the nickel and Williams will never see the field against teams like the Colts who go with 3 WR sets every down.

Sorry but ADAM JONES (in order to get a nickname you have to earn it and maybe Jones could have earned the “Pacman” nickname while we was in prison) has wretched coverage skills. The guy is nothing more than an Al Davis “workout wonder.”

.. and it is amazing how overlooked he is by the general public. But to call Pacman a complete stud is way too much. The guy hasn’t seen the field due to off-field problems, and it would be pretty naïve to believe that just because he has substituted his zipcode to a Dallas zip-code, he’ll all the sudden stop making problems. If he was so great, couldn’t the Titans have gotten more for him than a 4th rounder?

Henry and Hamlin is decent guys, and I’m sure Mike Jenkins will also be along the way, but doesn’t the Dallas scheme pretty much on man-to-man coverage? Isn’t a bit of a reach to believe a kid, who was projected to be a terrific COVER-2 CB, can fill out a starter/nickel role in his first year in a such scheme?

I wouldn’t hesitate to call the Eagles’ secondary better than cowboys. And I also believe the Colts have a secondary that are not neccesarily more talented, but with the scheme and everything are at least twice as good.

I expect a lot of missed assignments in the beginning of the season for Dallas, but for terry’s sake I hope they can improve, and be like a top-10 secondary somewhere in the near future.. :)

Yep terry, keep dropn knowledge on those unaware of how good the secondarys going to be(barring injuries). the new combination is better than whats been here in the past. which should translate too much better overall defense.

The Colts have depth as well. Dante “Don’t Call Me Daymeion” Hughes was a nice nickel corner back when healthy, and I still have some faith in Tim Jennings.

At safety, Matt Giordano would be a starter on many other teams.

The Colts will have the number one pass defense this season without a doubt.

The Colts’ starting CB’s are going to be better this year than last. And Bethea should improve as well. Keiaho and Hagler, too. People forget we had a top 5 defense last year with many young players (first through third seasons). They will progress, and Mathis/Brock/Freeney/Sanders/Keiaho will all be healthy starting the season. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they all stay healthy..

Marvin Harrison vs the Titans with PacMan
9-109-2, 4-61-1, 3-29-1, 7-172-1
total of 23 receptions for 371 yards and 5 TDs
average of 6-93-1.25
(Marvin’s career per game averages 6 for 80 and .7TD)

Reggie Wayne
2-48-1, 3-50-1, 3-24-1, 3-57-1
total of 11 for 179 and 3 TDs
3 for 45 and a TD average
(Wayne’s career per game averages 4.5 for 64 and .4 TDs)

Marvin Harrison had big games, Wayne had less yards and receptions the usual but still scored above his average rate (less than half a TD a game).

PacMan couldn’t cover Marvin and wasn’t any better than the average #2 vs Wayne.

nobody said he was covering them. Shake said “vs. the Titans with Pacman”. You’re right, we don’t know who he was covering but if you look at some of those games it’s safe to say he probably didn’t play all that well.

Pacman is overrated when it comes to coverage. Where he will help your team is in the return game. That’s where he is dangerous and can be a threat.

Pacman and T.O. on the same team. This is going to be awesome. The Vikings sex cruise will be nothing compared to the embarrassment these two will bring on the Cowboys when they join forces. You can’t have two crazies on the same team. It just doesn’t work. Ask the Pacers what happened when they brought Steven Jackson onto a team with Artest. It didn’t take long until the two of them were running up into the stands during games and beating the shit out of spectators. I can see the headlines now: DEAD HOOKER FOUND IN COWBOY’S LOCKER ROOM TRASHCAN.

they’ll win a playoff game this year?

It has gone from being funny to ridiculous. Yeah, the Cowboys have a good team but so do the Colts. The Colts have just as good a chance to win as your team does. As a matter of fact, we have the same team (only healthy) that did better than your team in last season’s playoffs.

Cowboys over Colts? Ha, dream on…

Whatever helps you sleep at night…
