Did Garrett run the ball initially out of spite?

Honestly? To me that was Garrett saying to the fans "Is this what you want?". Clearly this team is built on the pass to open up the run. As crazy as that sounds but this is a pass first team. I know guys don't want that but screw that. That's who the Boys are.

Even if he did, he didn't use Felix the way that I think most of us want to; i.e. screens and sweeps, maybe even slot.

The running game was working fine, so if he ran it out of spite, he didn't prove much of anything. If the passing game had bothered to show up in the first 3 and a half quarters, that would have been nice.

It sure seemed that way.

But the point is, I don't think everyone was saying "run run run" I think people were just asking for more balance...so that we'd never hear a DC like Capers saying that it became easier for his defense when the Cowboys became one dimensional.

I don't think one dimensional teams win in the NFL.

He may have because he takes any excuse to abandon it(barber fumble) We did not run the ball well down 3-0 in the second half.

Spite has no place in live game strategy. Spite can get you beaten. I hope Garrett is smarter than that.

Garrett was run heavy today because head coach Jerry Jones demanded it.

I wish we would see more screens or quick slants. Just to have a medium if he still wants to pass it. I think the screen was there for the taking with them.
