First thing is that the defensive line now has to start taking over games. We have to win up front, they have to pressure Brady and quarterbacks going forward. It's too bad we still don't have Gregory, we really could have used him here. Looking forward to the Bye week so that we can hopefully come back healed up, rested, and at full strength on passing downs with Hardy, Gregory, Mincey, and Crawford.
It'll be exciting to see what our linebacker corps can do at full strength. It might take a while for these players to mesh together, but hopefully it will be what we're all hoping it can be given some time.
On offense we have to run the ball, simple as that. Without Romo and Bryant you would think we would lead the league in rushing attempts, but here we sit at 17th in the NFL. That has to change and it has to change today. No longer do they have Lance Dunbar who they can rely on for 1st downs every time, you're going to need to give McFadden a real chance to be the main back here, and you need to give Christine Michael some carries, especially in goal line and short yardage situations.
We should have won the last two games and I feel that the coaches didn't put the players in position to win. They need to re-establish an identity on the ground, especially if without Romo and Bryant. They need to use mismatches to have success in the air. Witten, Escobar, and Beasley should be featured. I'm interested in what Mayle can offer, but have to wonder why they didn't think it would be a good idea to bring in a veteran like Reggie Wayne. I think Mayle could be a very poor man's Dez Bryant. It will be interesting if he can help us move the chains since it doesn't appear that we can rely on just Terrance Williams. I'd like to assume that he will be active, but there is no guarantee of that, and I have no confidence in Street or Whitehead.
