I am as happy with the win as much as the next fan. The Oline deserves credit, and Garrett deserves credit for the scheme. They dominated the line last week and this week. The D-scheme seems to have been settled on and give the coaches and scouts a tip of the hat for working hard and getting what they can out this group. I am excited about the future. Having said that, a closer look reveals some serious issues on the horizon:
Romo looks washed up. Maybe he is still recovering at this point, but he can't throw deep. It was never his strong point, but it's very clear at the moment and teams will start to figure this out. He has also been the cause of half the sacks with poor decisions. Free can take credit for the other half. Tyron was run blocking on his at SF. I would be surprised if Romo makes it through the whole season without serious injury.
Demarco- fumbles are not a recent phenomenon with this guy. You simply cannot have this against better teams. You'd think he would have remedied this recurring problem in his injury riddled career yet it persists. He leaves way too many yards on the field often only taking what the line gives him and often tripped up by arm tackles or just falling forward in traffic leaving yardage. Randle or Ryan would have as many or more yards. A top five back would have had a 200 yard day with no fumbles. This guy won't even get an offer from this team.
The D can still get stronger with the return of Spencer and DLaw. Toomer may eventually contribute, but they are working their butts off. Roland is a lucky find.
I will be patient and hope Garrett gets another contract. I believe in what they are doing. I just think it's time to admit that Romo and Demarco are not part of this being a success.
