This team needs every edge they can grab, even if that edge is not being as bad as they could be.

What I'm saying is if we want to stop seeing this type of team every week, we need a major overhaul of the offensive line. None of this "get by" mentality. It's too important.

I'm arguing this same thing on another board. I don't know what people saw.

Yeah, he just looked reliable out there, way more than you-know-who.

And that punt return...after a few people were somehow criticizing his touchdown last week for being "too easy"...well, that was pretty nifty, he even showed a little speed getting around the corner after reversing field.

It's bad.

When will OL become a priority ??

Never as long as Jerry runs the show.

Yep. Free is awful healthy but Tyron is obviously going to give you more than Parnell and I suppose Bernadeau is better at RG than C. I'm not sure how much, if any, Bernadeau gives you over Dockery.

We really do need to invest properly in OL this offseason.

What??????????

They looked like a passable team because they were playing us. They're 2-8 and have the 24th ranked defense and 28th ranked offense.

They are one of the worst 2-3 teams in the league.

[MegaMagick]

why hasn't Jerry literally forced playcalling duties away from Garrett and give it to someone else? This is really ridiculous, if you're going to be the boss hog, at least act accordingly.

It would be a loss because Jerry would keep The RHM for another season.

Have you watched any of their games? They've been tough against everyone.

So the Oline can get worse. Holy hotdogs.

Garrett needs to realize this and call shorter, quicker routes or Tony will die.

The fumble is on Romo because he needs to understand we are up and its okay to go down and live another play and get 3 points. He just doesnt get situational football.

We need to bench Free, leave Parnell at LT and move Smith back to RT.

Only if the line can miraculously heal itself and the O can start scoring a lot and then I'd say teams better watch out. I fully acknowledge that's a BIG "if"

I see a lot of fight in the team despite the ton of injuries on both sides of the ball That seems different under Garrett

the way he got worked today I am surprised he made it through the game

Only fumbling once with all that going on is pretty good frankly. I don't know what you expect from a human being that is getting abused like he was today

Jerry the GM is watching college film right now...dont panic, he's got this covered.
