Deon Anderson News

I just watch the extended highlights of the Cowboys' win over the Seahawks last week.

Kickoff returns weren't supposed to be part of Felix Jones' job description when the second-year running back returned from a knee injury last Sunday against Atlanta.

Forgive me for the case of dj vu, but it feels like I've written this before, and not too long ago.

CHAREAN WILLIAMS Dallas Cowboys kick returner Allen Rossum, signed off the waiver wire two weeks ago, injured his hamstring on his first kickoff return with his new team.

There was only one player missing from practice Thursday: Return man Allen Rossum was absent with his pulled hamstring.

Memorable plays abounded in the Dallas Cowboys' convincing 37-21 win over Atlanta.

Deon Anderson knew things would be different from the moment he met Joe DeCamillis.

We've taken a lot of shots at Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett on these pages this season, particularly his habit of calling formations and plays that fail because they are too clever by half.

The simple fact is the Atlanta Falcons didn't see Keith Brooking as a starting linebacker anymore.

For any overtime game, the biggest play is usually the last one. No exception here, as Miles Austin's 60-yard touchdown scamper in the extra session helped the Cowboys escape Arrowhead Stadium with a dramatic win.

Imagine how many yards the Dallas Cowboys would be running for if they could keep their running backs healthy.

For everyone's sake, let's hope Marion Barber gets back on the field this week. Well, maybe everyone but the Broncos.

By CHAREAN WILLIAMS ARLINGTON - They are big, fat sweaty guys. They like being in the background, preferring that reporters never ask them questions.Some of them are better known as band members in Free Reign than Cowboys players.But the hometown heroes in the first game at the new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium weren't named Romo or Jones or Ware ...

Fireworks exploded over the retracted roof, the Ring of Honor was unveiled, and the largest crowd to watch an NFL regular-season game celebrated one of the most important dates in Cowboys history.

In the wake of Tony Romo's performance to open the season, it's time to take another stab at what it means to be Romo-friendly. Unfortunately, the definition can't be found in the urban dictionary.

The Cowboys' top three special teams tackler from last season have been removed from the roster.

The Cowboys have signs around the locker room encouraging players not just to do things right but to do them "exactly right." The Cowboys returned to practice at Valley Ranch on Monday, down to their last few days to get things "exactly right" before Sunday's season opener at Tampa Bay.

Wade Phillips depends on accurate information from his minions. But when it came to getting the scoop on Miles Austin's hamstring injury, his source let him down.

Never mind that he's going home to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, home of his alma mater, the University of South Florida.

After Miles Austin sat out the preseason finale to rest a tight hamstring, Wade Phillips told reporters the receiver was "fine." Well, Austin isn't practicing a few days later.
