Game Day Cowboys vs Browns Game Thread - 1st Half

[waldoputty]

anyone getting quite nervous every time lucky lines up for the punt?

 

[Alexander]

So far they have handled the trap game very well

The team has. Bryant is getting frustrated that Joe Haden isn't throwing himself down on the ground in deference.

21-3 would break their will. Let's do it.

Is whitehead even good? I mean is he worth keeping just as a return man?

He used to be pretty good. Looks like he's somehow been coached down.

 

[Jack Burton]

Jeff Heath was on that like a guided missile.

 

[Jake]

Female ref? Or just me.

no

I hate the Eagles more, but a win for them is good for us here

True. The Giants have the easier schedule, going forward while the Eagles have a harder one.

 

[Real1st]

That's a little harsh.

Its a love and hate relationship i understand but its too extreme to each poles of the spectrum.

Dak now 8/10 for 87 yards and a TD.

Zeke 8 carries for 35 yds and a TD.

Nice stop

TD here almost seals game

Dez wears me out. All he does is drop balls and then whines to the refs. Maybe he has a beef but just catch the ball that goes right in your hands and move on and let the call not even matter. He's such a loose cannon. He makes this offense less efficient.

That has been a big problem for us in years past too. We still overpursue quite a bit, but this unit looks much more disciplined than years past and it's probably the main reason they have any success. It's definitely not a wealth of talent, that's for sure.

I bet Dez feels like he's in the Twilight Zone. He sees the PI, the players see it, the refs see it, the coaches see it, etc. He's guaranteed double coverage every play; massive value to OCs. He's getting mugged and wants to be part of the rout but is forced into decoy scheme yet again. I would get bored/frustrated too. Don't know why we paid 70m for a decoy but whateves

This pertains to stiffer competition to come when Dez will be actually needed; this is the Browns after all. We don't have a playoff D and will need to score to win if we are serious about a deep run, etc. Zeke can be the initial game plan but some PA to Dez surely wouldn't hurt and when shootouts come into play.

Insane:

No, he is not a good player. He specializes in one play.......the end-around that everyone sees coming. Not to mention that he has no in-game awareness

I guess we can always remember his TD return in the 1st preseason game.

... and us getting the ball back after halftime. Game over. Bring in Mark Sanchez.
