Most of this is nonsense.

Hanna was a big part of the run blocking last season. He has been injured and then missed 2 games. His return coincided with the improved run blocking.

McCray is good on ST.

Heath is good on ST and played a few snaps on defense with no problems.

Street had a brilliant TD that would have been the play of the game if they had won. He block on the penalty play was perfect but the refs screwed up that call.

Swaim was not even active. In games when he did play he was a very aggressive blocker.

I'll agree that Clutz seems like a waste of a roster spot; however, if they really wanted to add another player they can always demote the QB Moore to the practice squad.

Randle averaged 12 yards/carry before his injury in the Giants game.

Escobar has made some terrific catches in the past when Romo was the QB. He was probably the player of the game on offense last season in the home game against the Giants. He definitely has receiving skills but his limited blocking ability keeps him off the field. He would likely be decent if he ever had to fill in for Witten as the #1 TE but he is not ideal as the #2 TE role that Hanna plays.

Playing calling is always bad when it does not work and good when it does work. Did you really want them to just run the ball 10 times in a row?

not a bad assessment. although I think we tend to over rate our talent. clutz shouldn't be on the team as I have not seen any positive plays from him for his role.

and if we run the ball like oklahoma did during switzer era and never pass the ball in the game, it won't be enough..... it about forcing the defense having to play for pass or run...

I don't understand why Clutz is on the team. He is a decent ST player but has only played 18% of the ST snaps this season.

He has averaged about 7 snaps per game on offense. It seems that Hanna could play those 7 snaps and Swaim could fill in for Hanna at TE is it was a player that would normally have Clutz and Hanna on the field together.
