Def ranked 32nd, But Offense is ranked 23rd.

Dallas has half a DL with Hatcher and Ware.

Teams are not helping on Ware, being blocked one on one by the Tackle.

Have to put blame on Kiffin in not putting players in posistion to win matchups.

Team needs to play more Dime

Tyler Clutts had great continuity with Murray. Most of Murrays big plays came with Clutts leading.

The need to figure out the quick routes on that blitzing up the middle. Quick routes to the middle.

Maybe romo is just too short and cant see the middle routes because of his lack of height.

Lee and Monte had a meeting today alone in his office.

Dallas def plays alot better in man to man.

If MO is not going to play Moore should be in the slot and get Webb off the field.

injury updates
Harris and Mo out this week.
Lee should go
Carter they still have no word on what will happen there.

If Lee cannot go Durant should play the middle.

When they play Escobar he's open.

Offense needs to be more aggresive in certain situations.

Bothered about Garrett, saw the def was in a terrible spot and he didnt roll the dice and go for it on 4th down to try and turn momentum.

Making CBs play in too much space. Bring them up to the LOS and let them bump and be physical.

Wow, just heard something from Broaddus. Said teammates are saying Hatcher is selfish for talking about his contract on air. Guess maybe there is a rift in Dallas more then we know.

Mo in 2nd yr and has underachieved, but didnt Tyron struggle some in his first 2 yrs?

Broaddus destroyed Carr today. The thing about Hatcher was upsetting to hear. This team is a disaster.

Good stuff.

Romo's lack of height is a poor excuse. I don't see Drew Brees or Russell Wilson struggling seeing the middle of the field with their lack of height. In fact, Bree's specialty are short and deep crossing routes.

Lots of positive talk about Escobar lately. He needs to play more.

I agree regarding Sterling Moore. He can't be any worse than Webb. Moore showed some good things last year.

Surprised about the comments regarding Hatcher. Don't know what to think of that.

Hopefully Lee gave Kiffin a dressing down about what's going on on defense. Maybe Lee should be calling the plays?

It's time to go man and just take the risk of giving up the big play. The zone is simply bleeding us to death, slowly but oh so surely

Go man-to-man and blitz more. I guess it's worth a try, but I have doubt about it's success. With this crop of dudes on the field, I'm not sure any system will work.

One day Hatcher is a team leader, the next he's a malcontent.

Amazing what a disasterous defense does to the locker room mood.

32 defense and 23 offense.

And we're 7-6.....HOW? How can a team have a winning record with those stats?

I don't think it's a lack of height. It's bad gameplanning and/or bad route adjustments to the blitz.

Also a defender should NEVER come through unblocked up the middle. You block from the inside out making the free blitzer have to come from the outside. It's not Romo's freakin' fault when he has a guy on him through the A gap .00001 second after he snaps the ball.

A QB who "can't see the middle routes" and yet consistently ranks among the top 10 passers in the NFL.

Okay.

It may be upsetting, but is it surprising?

He is a "leader" on this team as it stands and he has chosen to speak about his contract an awful lot.

I keep seeing this repeated over and over like we are not mixing zone and man often. Kiffin is trying everything and nothing is working. There is no magical scheme change that is going to save this defense the way the die has been cast.

I've defended him a lot on here b/c I like that he has no filter for anything unlike the company men responses we get from the other leaders on the team. That being said, I did not like his recent comments. He just needs to chill on the contract stuff. I hate the personality, chemistry, and psyche of this entire locker room...hate it.
