I disagree. You don't win playing conservative. Does Cassel need to try and protect the football sure, but if you have Brice Butler have a step on his man on a vertical route or you get T-Will on a deep drag route you have to let it rip. We need those big plays. I don't believe the defense is gonna be dominant enough to win without any big plays from the offense. Our pass rush should be fiersome and I believe the line backing core can be as good as any, but the secondary is what is holding the defense back. The horrible safety play, the horrible angles, the lack of play makers in the secondary outside of Byron Jones. We basically have two guys playing at an above average level back there. Mo and the rookie. I don't think that's good enough to field an elite defensive unit.

If you divided the group of all NFL QBs in history in half with the most and least conservative groupings with Weed as the most conservative ever and Farve as the least conservative ever, Aikman would be in the conservative half.

If Butler is single covered on a 9 route and has a step, it's not abandoning a conservative approach to throw him the ball. If you throw him the ball when he is double covered then that is abandoning the conservative approach (unless you do what Weed did and just throw is so far past Williams that it was impossible for him or anybody else to catch it).

Throwing to an open receiver in the NFL is not being non-conservative, it's just being an NFL QB.

What Cassel can't do it try to be a hero and start flinging it around into double or triple cover like he thinks he's Brett Farve.

Obviously, if they get significantly behind on the scoreboard then he would need to take more chances; however, to start the game he needs to minimize the risks and give the defense a chance to step up to the plate now that they have all hands on deck. If they don't get significant pressure and rattle Eli with Hardy and Gregory now playing, then the Cowboys have problems beyond this game.
 
Miami finally has a head coach that demands that use Lamar Miller and the entire team be accountable and physical.
Dan Campbell just might end up keeping this interim job.
 
The bucs/skins game is gonna go overtime and fox will go extended coverage .. i just know it :angry:

:cool:
 
Cleveland was doing a great job of keeping Gurley in check, but the dude is just beast. Wearing them down and heading for another big day.
 
I thought the Bucs and Dolphins were crappy, looks like the Cowboys will have their hands full in November
 
If I live to be 105 years, I will never ever understand why a NFL CB never turns around to make a play on the ball while it;s in the air. Why do they all stare at the receiver instead of turning around?
