Rodgers has been on their timetable for rehab/recovery.

Dead On.

Kind of unusual...

Ro McClain and Mincey back, Hitchens and Terrell McCalin still out for Big D.

According to Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com, Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain and defensive end Jeremy Mincey were back on the practice field Friday after passing through the concussion protocol.

Both suffered concussions last week against the Lions.

The Cowboys were still without linebacker Anthony Hitchens and defensive tackle Terrell McClain (high ankle sprains) for the third straight day.

given that they knew he was going to play no matter what, it was going to be pretty hard for him not to meet their schedule.

Boykin over Janis, this one is for Harlan. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...288122711.html

McCarthy provided the answer in an interview last week.

"Jarrett Boykin is ahead of Jeff Janis," McCarthy said, indicating the difference was clear-cut both at wide receiver and on special teams.

"Jeff made some big plays. Had a couple good returns. Caught some vertical balls.

"But a lot of this is new for him. He's gotten better, but I still have Jarrett significantly in front of him. Jarrett works his butt off. That's a tough role. He's doing great."

Bob provides no quote to support that bolded assertion. But whether its literally true (B over J on all depth charts) or just Game Day true (ahead on necessary ST units), it seems clear that the coaches aren't ready to trust him over a disappointing player who none-the-less knows his assignments.

Which makes Boykin a young man's Hawk.

Clinton-Dix still making rookie mistakes, but its still better than last year. Also, Perry isn't the only one tracking his progress, Capers and M3 check in too. Problems in crude missed tackles and leaking big pass plays.

Through the ups and downs of his rookie regular season, the Green Bay Packers steadfastly have praised the performance of free safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

Clinton-Dix, the 21st selection in the National Football League draft, has started 10 of 16 games and played 86.1% of the snaps.

"He still makes some young guy's mistakes sometimes," coach Mike McCarthy said. "But he's done a lot of good things. I think we all know he's going to be a very, very good football player.

Cowboys 8-0 road record in detail:

To be sure, the Cowboys didn’t exactly play a bunch of NFL juggernauts in their road games. Seven of the wins came against Tennessee, St. Louis, Jacksonville, the Giants, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. Those teams combined for 36 wins. Only the Eagles, which were 10-6, finished within shouting distance of .500. The eighth win, however, was the eye-opener: 30-23 at Seattle. The Packers, of course, were crushed 36-16 at Seattle a month earlier.

In the game against the Cowboys, Seachickens had some personnel issues:

1. Kam Chancellor was injured and not practicing
2. Bobby Wagner and Byron Maxwell were hurt during the game (Wagner came back)
3. Max Unger was out
4. Percy Harvin was still a member of the team

When Romo is not being pressured by the Packers, he needs to be looking primarily on the left and middle parts of the field, rather than the right. The Packers were the No. 1 defense in the NFL against passes on the offense's right, with exceptional DVOA ratings on both short and deep passes to that side. However, the Packers were 22rd against passes to the left and 29th against passes up the middle

Green Bay Cornerbacks, 2014
Player		Charted
		Targets	Yd/Pass	Suc Rate	Avg
						Pass Dist
Tramon Williams	67	8.1	46%	11.1
Sam Shields	62	6.8	61%	16.3
Davon House	38	4.5	68%	16.2
Micah Hyde	32	6.5	63%	10.4

Something odd here. FO says they got the cornerback sides mixed up when reading out of their database (Guin may have picked up on this). Which leads to a conundrum. Their DVOA stats read the Packer pass D on their right (offense's left) is phenomenal. On the left and middle its not good.

However, Tramon has had the worse season by their stats than Shields. That success rate is the defensive success rate for the DB. So he allows more yardage and more passes completed. Weird, because Shields has been beaten deeper more.

So that is the Packer defense in a nutshell; playing good on the side with the worse DB and playing terrible on the side with the better DB according to their numbers.

Thanks for the shout out. What they are saying passes the eyeball test now, but makes less sense when you look at the numbers. I think they've still got something wrong there.

Tramon is a lot worse when he's not playing on the left side, looks like about a 35% success rate.

The also mention House falling down a lot, but my favorite part of the tables: "Uncovered" has a 35% success rate.

Yeah, its been a while since I relied on their previews or DB breakdowns, so I don't even remember if Success Rate is an offensive or defensive rate. Its tough to parse, especially now since there is a discrepancy.
