We are ultimately going to go nowhere with Barber because although he excels in the short yardage game, he is only mediocre in every other aspect and doesn't generate fear in the heart of defenses. He also doesn't punish anyone on the other team anymore. He has also put alot of balls on the ground over the last couple of years.
I believe the future of this team is Felix and Choice at RB with Austin and Ogletree at WR. OT isn't ready to start just yet but needs to be worked in more now so he'll have an idea of what he needs to work on over the offseason.
We really need to work on OL blitz pick up. Romo gets rid of the ball and the backs are doing a decent job of picking up blitzers. Nevertheless, the opposing team routinely manages to send a blitzer who goes unblocked while someone is being double-teamed. I don't know if it is the OL or Houck but this has got to get fixed now if we are going to keep Romo healthy and win games.
On defense, we need another pass rusher to compliment Ware. I think Ware got a little lucky with the 20 sacks last year. I think he is more along the lines of a 10-12 sacks/year player with a solid all-around game. We need someone else to compliment him and I don't think Spencer is that guy.
I think we need another CB. Newman is ageing quickly and I'm not sure if this is just a sophomore slump for Scandrick or something more.
Anyhow, this game is still winnable.
I do think we need to get Barber out of there to give the offense a chance.
