Game Day ***Cowboys vs Saints 2nd Half Thread***

[RonnieT24]

We dont have any other run THEN RUN UP THE MIDDLE ?!?!!?!?!?


KM please ... please .

Apparently we've removed the off tackle and outside runs from the playbook..

Teams know how to beat the Cowboys.
Dallas isn't going far even if they win the division.
We're just too elementary, too basic in our offense.
Our quarterback can't handle blitzes and refuses to run.
And our defense gives up big plays ... against Broncos and Raiders and Saints (none with scary offenses).
Imagine what occurs if we must play the Bucs, Rams, Cardinals or Packers?
This coaching staff and our quarterback (as much as I like him) aren't giving me much confidence.
I hope they can restore my faith, but I doubt it.

Go with 2 TE sets on running plays along with a lead blocker

Holding, offense, first and twenty. Now what?

 

[Dre11]

I know but look how every team defends us right now.. Man to man.

I’d have Pollard and Zeke both running option routes and Texas routes.

This I agree with, can we see a wheel route to Pollard

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Our TE blocking sucks , Bring back 6th OL as blocking FB

Correct, let them know your coming. Trying to disguise the run is not helping the run!

Looking at the last 4 or 5 weeks objectively leads me to the same conclusion as well. Our offensive line has been badly beaten in nearly every game we have played recently. It makes it extremely difficult for an offense to function when their offensive line is playing so poorly. Our running game has begun to negatively affect our passing game. We are throwing into loaded coverages because we are incapable of more than a 2 or 3 yard rush against a 6 man front.

I do not know why this is happening. On paper, Zach Martin and Tyron have been very good this year. In fact, pro football focus has them ranked as the second and fourth best offensive linemen in all of football right now. Their system isn't perfect, but they cannot be playing poorly and achieve that grading. It is simply impossible. I think the main issue is that Biadasz is really struggling to move people at center. He gets zero push and doesn't seem to have an amazing feel for orchestrating protections or dealing with run blitzes. McGovern/ Williams have been very up and down. Collins has surprisingly just been bad. He is not getting push in the run game and is often getting blasted into Dak's lap in the passing game. I do not know wha to do to fix it. I think we need to spend our first rounder on an interior lineman and hope we have a chance to pickup an above average free agent despite our cap situation.

Can't game thread that. Tomorrow good call.

We should be killing this team...no excuse for being up by only 6.

They don’t need style points, just win.

Selling Prescott as ELITE is getting really old.....

You add absolutely to this board. Nothing. Every post you make is the same. You, like a few others, do nothing but constantly post the same drivel. It makes you come off as an idiot. Congrats on that.

 

[JohnsKey19]

For a backup, Saint's QB looks pretty decent.

Well, when you continue to be predictable in calling man-coverage and not being good at it, you make it easier for the QB-WR to complete passes.

I don't understand why you don't make Hill make throws into zone coverage.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

I saw threads talking about how good the Saints defense has been and that Payton is a great HC, yet, because we aren't destroying them people freak out.

Their defense is one of the best in the league. A top 5 unit unquestionably. Sean Payton and his staff has them coached spectacularly well and they have some very good players on that side of the ball. Our offense has performed fine against them. I am not as worried as most. I do not like our offensive line play though.

Selling Prescott as ELITE is getting really old.....

Hey...he's playing their back up toe to toe.

 

[bigE79]

It’s the Saints. Nobody runs on the Saints.

Except Philly.

Reason why the football team is still in the hunt is because their oline is very good. Their D is as bad as ours and have two weapons on offense and a backup XFL’er helming the QB position.

 

[Creeper]

On the plus side, DLaw is actually playing a good game, getting some pressure on Hill.

 

[CATCH17]

Not even the great tony pollard? You have to admit. Dak is making throws tonight that you said he couldn’t make.

What?

Dak can make throws. It’s his lackluster performances that I don’t like. Or waiting until the end of half’s to move the ball.

Luckily the Saints offense sucks.

 

[phildadon86]

Pollard really lit it up....

People just grab hold and don’t stop it seems.

Easy grasshopper. Lots of football left!

 

[lurkercowboy]

Onside?

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Holding, offense, first and twenty. Now what?

Was that on a pass play?

 

[Rockport]

13 points lol

You really do hate the Cowboys don’t you. Scoring 13 points makes you laugh out loud. Do you realize that that translates to 26 pts?
