DC: Scout’s Notebook: Young O-Linemen Rise Up; Beasley’s Catch; More

[waving monkey]

ARLINGTON, Texas – As always, I’ll have a better understanding of this game after I’ve had a chance to watch it over again.

But for the time being, here are my early impressions about the Cowboys’ season-opening win over the Giants at AT&T Stadium.

• I thought it was going to be Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers that the Cowboys attacked, instead it was right tackle Bobby Hart. DeMarcus Lawrence was outstanding in the way he was able to keep Hart off balance. His first of two sacks was a well-executed twist stunt with Maliek Collins. He was able to work right in behind Collins, who had such good penetration that neither Hart nor right guard John Jerry were able to react back to the inside to cut him off.

He makes a great point about the red zone play calling. Which was pointed out in the game thread about 20 times.

Linehan please quit outsmarting yourself. Keep it simple and feed Zeke.

I'm glad he mentioned it too. It needs to be pointed out.

STOP IT!

Midway through the game I said something along the lines...Linehan, you do know you can run back to back running plays as it seemed like he forgot.
I think he heard me as he did it a few times after that, but not really enough IMO.

Of course I am sure he does not care what some dude on a sports message board says about him lol.

I don't trust Linehan at all. There are times where his play calling is great, and then it's like he gets bored and starts in with the cute stuff. Passing the ball three times from the 2 is just plan inexcusable with this OL/Zeke combo.

I will say this though...We thought it was all him when Romo was in and later found out they had two calls and Romo would audible out of the run a good deal of times.

After seeing Dak changing things at the line like Tony used to...maybe Dak is changing the plays as well.

I wish they would stop taking Zeke out when get close to the redzone. IF we need to give him some rest do it before we get to the other teams 20. Seems every time Morris came in when we were in Giant territory he immediately lost 2 or 3 yards.
