Jean Jacques Taylor DMN JJT: Taylor: Cowboys win, but offense is awful in every way

SAN DIEGO – The Cowboys' starters scored their first touchdown of the preseason Saturday night against San Diego.

So what?

Anybody who watched the game knows the offense stunk. Maybe you'd describe it as putrid. Or atrocious.

Then there's my personal favorite: raggedy.

As in: The running game was raggedy, as was the passing game. When Roy Williams wasn't slipping and falling on a route as the ball sailed over his head, then Miles Austin was dropping a pass or Tony Romo was throwing the ball to spots where there weren't any receivers.

Except for one pass – a nifty back-shoulder fade to Austin that resulted in a 9-yard touchdown – there wasn't much good to say about the first-team offense.

For those of you who desire something positive, how about this: The offensive struggles can't be blamed on third-string tackle Robert Brewster, who started because of injuries to Marc Colombo and Alex Barron.
That's about it.

Fair article.
"Many of the greatest things man has achieved are not the result of consciously directed thought, and still less the product of a deliberately coordinated effort of many individuals, but of a process in which the individual plays a part which he can never fully understand." - Friedrich Hayek

We should look better. And the short yardage game is still suspect.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.
