Yes, kudos to him.

Now stop running the guy with a knee brace and the guy with a strained quad when up by 24 points in the 4th. And for that matter, stop throwing the ball deep in the same situation from deep in our end.

Thanks!

Wow! With your infinite knowledge with how this team should be ran, I'm baffled that you're not an NFL head coach.

What the hell does everyone in this thread have against common sense?

The questionable call to me was the constant delayed draw out of the shotgun. I was predicting it everytime they called it. Once back to back with no gain. What happened to the two tight end set and running it down the opposing team's throat. Yeah we won and it was a good win but I don't think our offense could have had a day like today againt the Eagles and won. Their defense is a lot more stout against pass plays and the offense being not in sync. The boys beat a very bad team today but I'm happy with the win. Just hope Garrett brings more out next weekend, or figures out that the team DOES have a power running game. Finesse teams use the trickery.

We scored 38 points. There are a couple things I might've done different, but for the most part he called another good game.

Garrett wasn't too bad today. The team put up 38 points and Folk missed another 3 pts.

The bubble screen to Ogletree was nice. That play needs to be run more. We did see Garrett throw from the 3 TE look.

Having said that, the screen pass and the dumpoff to the backs was used very little. This is one play the Cowboys should use much more. And the delay draw is old, really old, like ancient. It just ain't working anymore. Need a new trick.

Why have Romo throwing up 24 pts in the 4th quarter is beyond me.

I'm sure Garrett was holding some back for Philly.

To be totally fair to Garrett, I suspect the RBs lobby for that draw play. It's very kool to pick your own holes and those plays often are feast or famine plays. And it gets into everyone's heads. It discourages slants and twist and people getting out of their lanes. It makes LBs stay at home. Other than that it's getting old. I agree.

BTW, we don't have the OL to call a lot of screens. Bubble screens yes. They're better than you'd think for their sizes but they're not all capable of doing it reasonably well.

And I don't think Garrett holds much back. Ever.

Im just upset that Choice is getting basically no love from Garrett. He has proven that when given the opportunity, he can do some very good things with the ball.

Give me a split backfield with Barber and Jones, Choice and Barber, Choice and Jones....I also want to see all 3 RBs in at the same time at least twice a game, just to give opposing defenses something to think about.

I like running and defense. So I am a bit upset that we are not running behind the be biggest line in the NFL more than we are.

Garret was insane today. I will be really glad when he's gone.

Well,I agree we scored 38 points today... Against the Seahawks. Philly won't allow us to get away with sloppy play. He called a good game against the Seahawks, alot of those plays may not work against other teams. I don't know but even with the success of the O today it seemed to be the same plays that usually get them killed playing the upper echelon teams. I was hoping for a crisper offense I guess. 38 points is good, very good and you have to win ugly sometimes, especially when the other team plays they're safeties to take away the long ball. I was hoping for a fresher shor game.

well, I guess if anything, the lack of balance (36 pass attempts vs 26 rushes by our RBs) should keep the RBs well rested and ready for December/January.

Odd stat: Barber and Felix have had the same number of rushes the last 2 games (14 and 8 respectively)

You go Wilee. Set us all straight. :laugh2:

Give me a rational reason not to play your extremely good 3rd round RB instead of your banged up #1 and 2 at the end of a blowout game. Or for calling a long pass deep in your own zone in said game.

So far no one has. They've attacked me like I'm not pointing out the blatantly friggin obvious.

4th round RB, and he had 4 carries at the end of the game.

Meant string. And Barber's a 4th too anyway.

And the second it became a 24 point game he should have gotten all of them.

Brilliant!

Is this some kind of rule? 24 points = 3rd string RB plays?
