Bubble that covers Cowboys indoor field collapses

Sporting News - RSS Feed

Posted: May 2, 2009

IRVING, Texas (AP) -- An air-supported practice bubble that covers a practice at the Dallas Cowboys' facility collapsed during a strong thunderstorm on Saturday.

At least four members of the team's support staff are being taken to the hospital, a Cowboys spokesman told the Dallas Morning News. All players and coaches are believed to be safe.

Emergency medical technicians were seen entering portions of the bubble that were still standing.

Irving fire-rescue officials ordered all reporters and team personnel away from the immediate area.

So the same as the cowboys seson...gets overblown and deflates in the end!!!

Glad no one was seriously hurt...Wonder if Jerry could've afforded a better one??

it sounds like it is a temporary structure.

i do wonder if this was an omen about this coming season for them but how would you know? roof seems to collapse on the every year once the pressure is put on them.

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      That's neither on Ickey nor Bryce, that's a coverage sack. There were plenty of examples where he drifted into pressure or didn't move in the right direction, but on this play we sent two men out deep and Max Protected with both TEs and the RB staying back to block. Both receivers were completely covered down the field with zero checkdown options and the pass rush got home. Bryce took a deep drop back due to the PA and to let the receivers get deeper. That was the play design This sack isn't "Clearly on the QB". There were plenty of examples where Bryce drifts in the pocket or bailed toward pressure last season (open up a random clip from the Jags game for examples), but this is not one of them. Blame Frank and his dumbass playcalling/design for sending two slow receivers who don't get open well on deep routes with no other options on this one.

      Some things look horrible but you had the position covered. Some things look horrible because they really were.

      Well this one is more like it, 28-3 Falcons in the 3rd before I just stopped.  Sorry.  Bryce lovers: watch the Chicago game not this one. Bet the farm on Bryce.
