– Marion Barber is starting to make a name for himself around the league if he hasn’t already. Anyone who watches even a speck of a Dallas game can tell that Barber, not Julius Jones, is Bill Parcels go to guy late in games. With Barber’s two-touchdown performance in the Cowboys 23-20 win over the Giants, he now has six touchdowns in three weeks. For me, I’m not ready to crown Tony Romo as God of all quarterbacks yet like ESPN is. However, the guy continues to make big plays down the stretch of ballgames. Romo’s 42-yard pass to Jason Whitten with just over a minute to play essentially won the game for Dallas after the Giants tied the score at 20. I hear Tom Coughlin’s job isn’t on the line, but one has to wonder what he’s brining to the table anymore in New York. Coughlin is suppose to be the tough disciplinarian, but the Giants racked up four personal foul penalties in this game and he’s acting like a little kid on the sidelines after his team gives up big plays.
– After another solid performance by David Garrard, it’s hard to imagine that Byron Leftwich will remain a Jaguar after this season. Garrard was 16 of 22 for 229 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars 24-10 win over the red hot Dolphins. Garrard found Matt Jones six times for 128 yards and one touchdown. And what a run by rookie Maurice Jones-Drew, who broke three tackles on a 32 yard lumber into the end zone in the fourth quarter to put the game away for the Jags. Joey Harrington is just as likely to throw a game away as he is to win one this season. Harrington threw two picks, but he seemed to have to do everything himself without Ronnie Brown in the lineup. At least he finally was introduced to Chris Chambers (eight receptions for 121 yards), who he has successful ignored for Wes Welker the past nine weeks.
