That's what I was saying. I don't think it was his fault. I thought they were playing cover 3 or something, with Jenkins on the outside lined up over a wide-out. Rosario just blows past the LB, and Jenkins from the outside runs inwards to try and cover him. It looked bad cause you saw him in the screen trying to catch up. But if you saw an overhead view of the play you'll see Jenkins try to help out and he gets blamed for it.
Throw in the fact that it was a fantastic read, excellent execution (by the Panthers), and a perfect throw, it's hard to criticize anything other than the defensive play that was called. I've never been a big fan of Cover 1. It's too easy to manipulate the deep safety and your only safety net.
Gotta gives props to Delhomme on that play. He threw an absolute perfect ball. You know what they say: A perfect pass will beat perfect coverage every time. Jake delivered big time on that one.

In another post Sturm said that we are so predictable inside the 5 running draws that he was screaming it and so was the Panthers D - So Garrett calls 2 lobs that are out of the ordinary and everyone rips him for it. I am not against those calls at all, WIlliams should have caught it and this conversation would be moot, and then you have Marty on a LB if Romo throws a better pass, I give that to Marty everytime.
I agree that we were "going to the well" too many times with the draw, and I'm sure the Panthers were catching on also. I'm wondering why we aren't using Phillips down there like we used to use Tony Curtis. The play action fake to Curtis was a very successful play for us. Even at that rate. Choice was BANGING the ball. I still would have went three straight times (yes even on 4th down) right up the gut on them. The whole thing was too over thought IMHO.
