I have a question?

Why cant we burn teams when they blitz us or come with lots of pressure.
We see Qb's burn opposing D's all the time.

I think instead of worrying and trying to protect Bledsoe, lets start moving the chains.

Make them sorry they even thought about Blitzing or sending the D in full blast. Whether its 4, 5 or however many?

Because we only have 1 deep threat and it's easy to blitz AND double cover him.

We could use more screens. But those don't seem to work in our favor :bang2:

Sadly-most of that pressure is coming from that blind-side, not all these 7-8 man blitzes.

Frankly-if Peyton or Tom B didn't have their blind-sided Ts, then they would get happy feet all day long. :eek:

Not only that I dont think they are blitzing everytime they get pressure. Our O-line is like a revolving door. Teams don't have to blitz to get pressure on the QB

Yeah I saw someone post that Pettiti and Tucker were "Turnstiles" - lmao... then cried...

but seriously... doesnt always have to be screens or deep threat... what about quick slants or a TE coming off a block... SOMETHING!?

No fan of cancer-types like Ross Verba. However-doesn't anyone else think that Torrin and Rob are nothing but "nice guys"?

Sure-Verba has a potential to be a locker room cancer. However-both Torrin and Rob have proven to be ON THE FIELD Cancers. :mad:

It always appears to me that Bledsoe progressions go from deep to short. Maybe they should reverse that.

At this point we have TWO pretty fast guys on our team Glenn and TNew. Why not let them run around closer to the LOS ie. quick slants, comebackers and atleast get some yardage on these plays instead of letting them TEE off on Bledsoe? Linebackers and alot of DB's cant hang with NEWMAN or GLENN... At this point what do you have to lose? gotta makeshift the offense

I agree.....and move Ware around different blitz positions!

Teams aren't blitzing us. They're beating us with 4 down DL'men. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

This is true - Dallas has had one of the worst OLs in the league since before Campo, while the fans though they had one of the best. This team has had a long history of getting big, fat, lazy, unmotivateable slobs who don't care anything about the outcome of the game or whether they do any kind of a good job or not. They've just been there to collect a paycheck. Has anyone here ever seen any of these OL guys ever get excited about anything since Tui? I don't recall a single instance, but maybe someone can jog my memory.

Don't guess you saw Larry Allen nearly rip Jose Cortez's head off during the San Fran game. Larry seems to have a lot more desire to compete this year.

LOL Yeah, you're right, I had forgotten about that. There have been so many drive-killing penalties and then the players don't seem to be very enthusiastic and it gets disheartening after a while. I'm looking forward to the improvements that will be made in the off-season.

Bingo! Not only the OL, but in general for the entire team, the enthusiasm just ISN'T there.

The Skins may be mediocre at best-but at least they're playing with a high level of enthusiasm(as are the Gints). Why can't we?

Well, neither are playing very well at all. Neither is Rivera and Al J. is average at best.

So let's get rid of Parcells.

Sarge sez "So let's get rid of Parcells."

Um...OK, but not until after dinner, he's still got some cooking to do. Besides, I'm starting to get hungry. All this Kool-Aid just whets the appetite.

That's what we were doing early on. Drew was actually lights out against the BLITZ. Unfortunately, teams aren't blitzing all that much anymore. Why send 7 when you can send 4 and have the same effect on our crap Tackles?

Teams can get pressure from their front four CONSISTENTLY on us. There is absolutely no way that you can be successful in your passing attack when that happens. Until we can fix the lame *** effort that's being put out there by Pettiti and Tucker, no team's will fell it's necessary to blitz us. No recievers ill be open, and the team will lose.

the problem we have against the blitz and quick pressure is that our receivers are not fast enough to get quick separation in order to make a play. sure key can go 6 yards and make the catch but on 3rd and 9 thats what we need. Glenn has the speed to run a 9 yard slant like that but he doesnt have the hands or the guts to go over the middle and make a play like that

what we need is a guy who can get there, make the catch, make a man miss, and bust it big

wow sounds a lot like TO as much as i hate to say it....
