Beware D-Ware's thoughts on the game

[beware_d-ware]

PLUS:

-Coooop! I hereby retroactively withdraw all Roy Williams comparisons I made to him.
-Zeke played outstanding against a very good Skins front seven. He created a lot of yards on his own by finding seams and breakdowns in the Commanders' run fronts when the intended hole got filled up.
-Gregory didn't get a sack against McCoy (who looked a lot faster than I remember), but was in on a lot of plays. He's coming on for sure.
-Run D stepped up and shut down Peterson. After years and years and years of getting gutted by the run, going all the way back through the Romo era, we've finally built a D that can shut the run down.
-Anthony Brown had his best game of the season, maybe his career.
-Throwing to Noah Brown was probably our best trick play of the season.

MINUS:

-Dak continues to miss easy throws. It's easy to criticize Linehan for not running with Zeke on that first half 1st and goal, but his playcall actually worked perfectly. Dak just freaking missed.
-Fleming vs Jon Allen got ugly. Allen's really good, but still. Fleming's not a viable LT if Tyron's going to be out for a while.
-Defense gassed out and let the Skins back into a game that looked to be thoroughly over 31-13 in the 4th.
-Damien Wilson getting torched by an 85 year old Vernon Davis
-The playcalling is still lazy - lots of 3 TE sets, Coop being taken off the field, questionable timeouts, checkdowns on 3rd and long. The underlying issues with our staff haven't been fixed.

Anyone who's done ANY homework on the skins knows that Vernon Davis can still run and they should play him that way. He was averaging 18 yards a catch BEFORE this game as TE2. that play was simply a poor coverage call

Dallas has to throw deep routes to Cooper and Gallup. Its open. The safeties are up virtually the entire game.
Dak has to quit holding on to the ball. He has to have quicker releases.
Zeke can't get celebration penalties. That put the defense behind the 8-ball.

I loved that Zeke touched the ball over 30 times.
Gregory, Tank, Smith, Brown, Heath, LVE were spot on on shutting down Peterson.
Cooper is worth 2 first round picks. He was the MVP. Gruden is an idiot.
This defense is elite.

I absolutely hate our conservative play calling that is constantly on display

These are the only things I agreed with.

If he really compared Cooper to RW31, it was a stupid thing to say.

Amen to these!!!

When will our perchance for leaving points off the board FINALLY come back & bite us?

We are leaving points off the scoreboard in multiple games now

Maybe Dak needs to let it go, but I saw a lot of crappy routes with multiple receivers at the same spot or running inappropriate routrd for the down and distance.

You could remove the entire front four and Vandy would shut down everything within 30 yards of the LOS.

I'm gonna have his baby.

I don't use "Beast" very often but ........in this case...... there's nothing else to say.
