Since that was when the starters were in that is what was really important. Did not bother with second half.
The way the game started - I had as ol yogi berra used to say 'DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN!"
ST- less said about them the better. Just HOPE that it will improve.
Starting on your own 4, 11, etc is DESTINED for bad things.
BUT I was glad to see that Romo and company did not take crazy chances and basically played it safe. Smart thing to do in those cases.
After the first two posesssions- night and day.
There has been few on this forum more critical of Free then myself. SO I make it clear that his performance SHOCKED THE HELL OUT OF ME!
Not saying like some here that he was LA lite or anything close. But since the research I have been able to find indicates he has never played guard in any type of game before- and his previous tendencies to treat change as the mark of Satan and to frankly bale as soon as possible- he did quite well.
Not saying I want him starting at guard but it would not be terrible either.
Now parnell did not look very good in pass blocking; better in run blocking. If we have any alternative at all as regards Guard then Free needs to stay at RT.
The Beard was very good. I think this may have been one of the smartest picks the Boys have done frankly in years.
Bernie was not bad; not great. Consistency has always been his enemy. BUT I would have no qualms with him starting.
Tyron was solid at the very least.
Romo was restrained; and that is a good thing when the game is not important or on the line.
His connection with Dez is getting towards the area when we could compare him with Staubach to drew pearson possibly in the near future. Now they have a lot of wood to chop and Aikman to Irvin is the gold standard but the growing potential there....
Miles is healthy; and as long as he is ....
Tanner REALLY surprised me. Suddenly the Boys have a wealth of RBs.
Now as regards the D.
Still work to be done; but the turnovers....
One can dream that this will continue.
And we are missing 3 starters that matter.
Red Zone is where it is at on both O and D and the first half both sides did VERY well.
I still would love to get Waters; but Bernie can probably get it done acceptably. Leary as long as he shows what he has before is going to be solid. So with Smith/Leary/Beard/Bernie/Free we would have a decent O line with potential for more.
D line- we need Spencer back and that is key.
Overall I am much more optimistic today then 24 hours ago.
