Question: Haynesworthed has been added to the dictionary as a verb. As in, Albert Haynesworth was signed by Washington but was out of shape, lazy and a non-performer (according to Shanahan) but took the money, thus he Haynesworthed Dan Snyder. I can think of players who have Haynesworthed Jerry Jones, namely, Marcellus Wiley, both Roy Williams' OU and TU, and it looks as if Ratliff also fits into this category. Miles Austin may be acting in a Haynesworthingly (adverb) way or he may not be as this is to be determined. Can you think of other Cowboy players who have Haynesworthed?

Tim Cowlishaw: Although I disagree and think Miles Austin honestly wants to play, I love Haynesworthingly as an adverb. I don't know if you could say Eddie George came here during the Parcells years and acted in a Haynesworthingly fashion but he was done, for sure.

Question: What ever happened to Randolph Scott and the Cowboys #2 draft choice Gavin Escobar?

Tim Cowlishaw: Not to mention the Durango Kid? Where'd he go? Still ridin' the trail alone? See, I get all your references. Gavin Escobar has turned out to be -- shock -- not much of a blocker and not as good as James Hanna. Keep in mind the Cowboys could have drafted a defensive lineman there. Or Eddie Lacy. But the Cowboys are forever trying to outsmart everyone on draft day and prove that they see a different game from the rest of the world. It's a shame.

Question: Do you think Martellus Bennet is licking his chops waiting for the Cowboys in Chicago so he can match up with the Cowboys D?

Tim Cowlishaw: Are you serious? Martellus Bennett remains an interesting, goofy guy who can play a little tight end. That's it. He's on pace for about a 750-yard season. That's nice, but he doesn't "lick his chops" to face anyone. He has had one touchdown since Sept. 15.

Question: Think when jerry is gone that stephen will have the same tatics as GM?

Tim Cowlishaw: No, I would expect Stephen to hire a GM. It will make him most popular Cowboys owner for life.

Question: Will Jerry every go after saban players? they seem to know how to win a few championships!

Tim Cowlishaw: He went after Saban players when they were at LSU. I don't think the scouts shy away from Alabama players by any means. But winning in college doesn't translate to much in the pros. Check Tim Tebow. Check Mark Ingram (until he got to play the Cowboys defense).
