I wonder how many long touchdowns the Cowboys would have given up if they had moved Terence Newman to free safety as some (very few) had suggested in the preseason. Every time a Giant caught the ball in the flat, they were looking to hurdle him because, on the rare occasion that he actually commits to tackling an opponent below the shoulder pads, he doesn't keep his head up to see the player he is attempting to tackle. He has been pathetic for over three years, overpaid, and horribly overvalued by some (very few) fans.

The Cowboys were having to chip the slot receivers with their outside linebackers because T-Old isn't comfortable with jamming receivers anymore. Throughout the season, Newman refused to adjust to the new scheme by being more physical. Rob Ryan actually commented on this a few times this year. If the Cowboys would have simply cut Terence before the season started, there would not have been a conflict of interest with his agent, and Nnamdi would have gone to the team he wanted to play for. So, I suppose this is a collective clusterf#ck between the player and the GM/owner (what's new?).
