Five sacks given up today

[Eskimo]

...I believe Costa made the wrong read and stepped to his left to double team a lineman and left Lenon a runway to land a 747 in.

Guys it's still a team that is work in progress. An active defensive front such as Arizona's is going to cause our line problems.

Put away both the axes and torches along with the anointing oil.

The kid just timed the snap perfectly - it happens once in awhile and Murray couldn't get over in time to pick him up. Nothing you can do about a play like that.

I think you are underestimating that defense and that team.

Their secondary looked good. Patrick Peterson looked great today at CB playing Dez 1-1 and blanketing him for the most part. That deflection on the bomb was a thing of beauty. I bet he has trouble against good route runners but he was very good against a straightline player like Dez who can't run many routes.

Horton has them playing that Steelers style of defense and they appear to be picking it up good now. They were regularly getting blitzers free and hurrying Romo up, knocking him to the ground and collecting sacks. When Romo hit guys they were usually not wide open. I think we really missed Miles today and his big-play ability.

They have now won 4 of 5 with their one loss being to the 49ers.

They got Kolb back today and he is an upgrade over Skelton, Wells is runnign well and they still have Fitz. Andre Roberts is starting to come on as their # receiver and Doucet is a solid #2.

They look like they are on an upswing.

No I didn't underestimate that team. Dallas might have but I didn't. I thought going into that game that they matched up very well due to their good power DL and our sad weak OL.

Dallas won this game but Garrett brain fart cost us. But If Dallas is a playoff team then they should beat a 4 now 5 win team easy. The offense should put up over 20 points on a defense that gave up 20 to the very bad Rams just last week and 23 to the 49ers.

you can have a better Center that sees it coming. That was all on Costa.

Paris Lenon came clean through the right "A" gap. I believe Calais Campbell beat Free for 2 sacks, and I believe Smith allowed 1. I can't recall the 5th off the top of my head.

I'm pretty sure Lenon's sack was a result of a predictable snap count, after that Romo changed things up and they weren't getting nearly the same jump on the ball, even if protection may have broken down at times.

I know some people are high on Costa, I personally wouldn't let that stop me from acquiring a top teir center in FA or the draft, if possible.

...replays other than the immediate one after the play.

I must have missed in the foreground or the side Murray in the backfield.

I was just looking to see the gap that Lenon shot through and saw Costa doing his usual stretch block on a double team to Romo's left.

Too bad Costa didn't stick out his arm and give Lenon a clothesline.

Campbell had one sack, and it didn't come against Free. It came up when he lined up as a tackle and stunted around the defense's left side (Tyron Smith's side, although he was blocking someone else). Free didn't allow any sacks.

The first sack came when Lenon blitzed and Murray was late picking him up.

The second sack came when Dockery beat Costa.

The third sack was Campbell's stunt around the defense's left end, when Romo held the ball long enough for Campbell to get there.

The fourth sack came on an unblocked cornerback blitz.

The fifth sack came against Tyron Smith when Romo couldn't find anyone open.

Those sacks worry me going into next weeks game. It was a Giants D player that broke Tony's collarbone last year.
