Jason Garrett must let talent flow

[Risen Star]

It's a balance and really should be up to the QB but I do think a special talent like Dez should create special rules. There is simply no reason why he should get one ball thrown his way an entire half. Guys like him aren't ever really covered with the way he can play the jump balls.

But the overall emphasis of spreading the ball around and attacking a defense's weakness is sound. Not only at full strength but it creates less of an issue if there's an injury when you have several guys on offense who are used to significant roles. If our offense was all Dez Bryant, what happens if he goes down for an extended period?

That's what you see in New England. Everybody has a key role. Anybody on that offense could be the star of the game. It's a week to week thing on who gets the most looks and they are the least effected by injury because of it.

But, again, the Patriots don't have a Dez Bryant and we need to take that into consideration. Treat him unlike any other player.

I don't think Romo is very fond of throwing into double coverage, but I do agree that he should test those limits once in awhile to "send a message" to the defense that the offense can do whatever it wants. FWIW I've seen riskier passes go towards Bryant's way to let him go up and get it. You just can't make a living out of that and that's what it seems JJT is looking for.

Romo is the type of QB that will pick his spots when he wants to take shots at the defense but he has to have confidence in his receivers and the guys upfront.

It's interesting notion to me that #1 WRs typically have their least productive quarter in the first, due to their offenses attempting to establish a sense of running game and balance and getting a feel for how defenses are covering them out of the gate before they can counterscheme a way around it. Unfortunately I can't find a site that does career statistical splits by quarter to prove or disprove it.

Dez has actually lined up on both sides of the field and also lined up as a Z reciever beside Witten.

Dallas does alot of moving around and flipping formations to find favorable matchups.

That's how the offense will find ways to attack a defense, it's just not instant results like everyone expects all the time.

I'm a big fan of building a roster where you actually can only take advantage of what's exposed. It's not that hard to do, really. You just need players with reasonable skills who are always where they're supposed to be. See Robinson. Harris, now, is able to do it, too.
