Here are a few thoughts after watching the film of the Cowboys-Chargers game Saturday night.

While sitting in the broadcast booth Saturday night with Brad Sham, my radio partner offered a thought of the aggressive nature in which Jason Garrett was calling this game against the Chargers with his first offense on the field. Garrett took the opportunity to give his offense a little confidence on a 4th and 1 play from the San Diego 40 yard line and Tony Romohttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/tony-romo/172ae69b-87c1-49f5-a2e6-5ed85b6d5dfc/) and Dez Bryanthttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/dez-bryant/e61ca891-9bbe-4449-98b1-d7837f6e4874/) delivered on a clutch play. Garrett sends “11” personnel on the field (3 WR, 1 HB, 1TE) to spread the Chargers out. Putting Romo in the gun, he could have run the ball inside or try to take a shot one on one with the receivers. Garrett sent Kevin Ogletreehttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/kevin-ogletree/09dab7b9-6261-4501-9628-7ad126f89ec1/) wide left, Cole Beasleyhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/cole-beasley/6e53e694-ce2e-4523-8502-b90b16f24127/) slot left, with John Phillipshttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/john-phillips/893d34db-aadc-459c-b88f-f5b584798b2b/) on the line to the right. Wide outside of Phillips was Bryant matched up against Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer. At the snap of the ball, Bryant drives hard to the outside of Jammer getting him off balance, then seeing this drives hard back to the inside where Jammer is scrambling to try and adjust. Romo looking down the field sees safety Atari Bigby in the middle of the field deep. Phillips breaks across the formation running from his right to left which clears the area of the linebacker. On the left of Romo is Felix Joneshttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/felix-jones/57a46018-daff-48b1-8cd6-9660910e5e20/) who is able to pick up the blitzing safety Eric Weddle from the blind side. Romo with the three step drop, has a clean pocket and throws a strike to Bryant on the slant that is run at the perfect depth and going away from Jammer. Bryant catches the ball on the move and is able not only gain the first down but bring the ball deeper in Chargers territory before Bigby is able to bring him down for the tackle. It was perfect execution and an outstanding, aggressive play call by Jason Garrett to show the trust not only in his quarterback but Dez Bryant as well.

Cornerback Brandon Carrhttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/brandon-carr/4bf134ab-6baf-4282-bf36-1ba93f011aee/) was brought into this secondary to make plays and on Saturday night, he didn’t fail to deliver intercepting two of Philip Rivers passes in his one half of work.

Carr - Broaddus analysis is probably midway between the two schools of though I've read from posters here. He credits Carr's expertise where due but also acknowledges where Carr was beaten (INT #2) and lucky teh ball bounced off the WR's hands. Very fair IMO. BTW - it doesn't change my view of Carr at all. He's not Deion. But he does have some nice physical skills that he appears to have worked hard to maximize through discipline and consistency. And I love the way he carries himself with confidence yet without losing sight of how hard he must work to maintain his edge.

M.Butler - I really liked this guy last year and reports indicate he has built upon that and found a way to overcome his speed limitations with talent & discipline in other areas. Maybe I'm not seeing him clearly. I'm admittedly a bit giddy (over a #5 CB???) but he seems like he could have playmaking capability as well. Moreso than a Ball or Walker anyway.

I haven't watched the replay yet but I thought Carr tipped the pass on his second INT.
