No, I think the difference is mainly the playcalling.

Henry yesterday in the first half = 14 rushes
Cook today in the first half = 16 rushes
Zeke in the Philly game, first half = 5 rushes

Those other 2 teams know who they are and play to their own strengths. We paid Zeke as though he's our identity (because he was his first 3 years) but try to get cutesy and fool other teams with the okie doke without ability.
And on those 5 rushes, Zeke was engulfed 4 times by multiple defenders. Henry wasn't touched until he was 5 yards downfield most carries. And ready by more than one guy.

I'm not arguing our playcalling isn't terrible, just that when called our OL was not performing at the level I'm seeing this weekend.

throwing the ball behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 6....that is the kind of thing people go crazy about here.

I just got back to watching this game I am really surprise by the saints offense not moving the ball.

You would think that if you're going to do a fake punt, everyone would be on the same page. :huh:

It's weird because Jones was good until he wasn't. What happened? But like all things Cowboys, we stick with the obviously not working things way way too long.

played with a back injury all year according to Brad Sham.

He's been injured for a year and a half. Cowboys should've moved on before this year started.

Brady and Brees look old, and their coaches don't look like geniuses with them playing as mere mortals.

I don't think you can put all the blame on Jones. The coverage is usually slow in getting there, and there's almost always at least one missed tackle.

Ah, yes..the good ol days.

What, Bailey and Jones were top 2 in their respective positions?

I believe that was Decamillus(sp?) who was the SP coach at the time.

That was also several years ago, and I believe Jones is over 30 at this point.

Maybe his leg has given out on him?
