just play like an entirely different team for most of the rest of the game.
Two weeks in a row, the Cowboys have started the game with a long opening drive that culminated in a TD and looked as impressive as any team in the NFL. Last night, a 17 play 9 minute clock gobbling drive that sent the message they were responding to the previous week's loss and putting that behind them. The ship had been righted and was under sail and then...…...shipwreck.
I don't get it and it's not as easy as blaming coaching, they're not on the field. I am interested in some theories about this because I do not recall seeing anything like this before.
I do not know if they script the first 15 as some OC's do because a lot of DC's give a different look to start game specifically because of that.
If any team can do that to open a game, why can't they duplicate or sustain that? It's the same coaches and players.
You X and O posters, are the DC's making strong adjustments after that first drive that change the Cowboys offensive tactics?
I am interested in some thoughts on this.
