Lot of discussion going on about the old guard changing, having to change our offensive scheme because of Dez / witten departures, and i think there is one thing in here that we havent really focused on.
This team, during the Romo era, was much more of a finesse style team....flashy big plays, big names at the skill positions and, for the most part, poor trench play. Granted during his last couple of years the oline got a lot better but the dline was still weak and we still relied on big finesse plays.
Once Dak and Zeke started, we started moving back towards an offensive team focused on a run first methodology and less on the finesse focus (aka more work pail)....additionally, we have finally built our dline and LB corp to support a team that wins the battle through the trenches.
Everything we are seeing with this team, from the focus on the lines to the distrubtion of talent across a WR corp as opposed to a single top heavy, indicates this team will start to be less finesse and more work pail style.
Run first, run often....blitz offten and wear the other team out....looking forward to a lot of 23-13, 17-9 type of boring wins just like we had in the 90s....
pack your lunch boys, time to go to work, leave the caviar at home....and while were at it somebody get Jerry a PBR and tell him to put the Blue away for a bit
