Guys:
From watching T.O. run routes, it seems he never makes a sharp cut or a double move. I know we don't see all the routes he runs, but it seems he just tries to outrun the defender on a fly pattern or makes a simple roll to the sideline. This may be nitpicking in light of the terrible game we played, but it also seemed that Romo had nowhere to throw on several pass attempts.
My question is: Does T.O. really run good routes and create separation or does he simply depend on his size/speed ratio to out muscle a defender for the ball? Against good defensive teams he doesn't seem to create a lot of separation.
A couple of thoughts on the game:
1) When the receivers have time to get to the safety and run double moves you don't have much chance. The pass rush has to improve or we are dead.
2) A good defense exposes the weakness in our offensive line. We simply need better athletes up front. Wonder if Procter is ready to try in place of Riveria (?Sp)?
3) Romo and Barber are the two bright spots from this season. Let's hope that Jerry can come up with the right coach and additional players to get up another notch.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
