Dallas Cowboys in game situations - pros and cons

[JBS]

I am sitting here reading MacMahon's blog on today's practice and they are currently running the two minute drill. It got me thinking about some specific in game situations. What are some specific in game situations that we seem to be strong in and what are some other situations that we are not so strong in?

I would say that we run the 2 minute drill on offense pretty well and at the same time our defense does not seem to defend the two minute drill very well. I don't recall last years two minute defense too much, so maybe things changed, but in 2007 I know they were weak. I would also say our short yardage rushing needs to be improved.

Con - 3rd and Long, this killed us so many times. An opposing team would be at 3rd and Long and our team would do anything to give them the first down. either penalty or give up the big play.

Pro- Improvised plays. When we had a fumble, or a play broke down, Romo is good at still making something happen.

Completely agree about our 3rd down defense. There honestly might not be anything more frustrating than letting the opposing offense off the hook on third and long.

On the other hand, our offense seems to be pretty good in third down situations.
