GB - Quick thoughts Week 4

[fishspill]

We have got to get this WR corps up to snuff. Draft one high and get a solid vet or two. That's an offseason priority on par with beefing up the DL for me.

 

[Sydla]

Just think if the JONES would actually invest in a Defense.....DAK, ZEKE and this OL with a solid defense.....sky would be the limit

One passing rushing end and then maybe a solid LB and I think this defense would be much better.

 

[waving monkey]

Really dude....a little lost in the sauce are we....there is always the RANT room if you want to be a debbie downer

I wasnt complaining about Jones I was complaining about the complainer

 

[MRV52]

The biggest surprise to me is how well the secondary is playing.

Just think about this, how well will the secondary play if we had a pass rush?

 

[Deep_Freeze]

As I said, it isn't about the pitch count, it's about how they're taking him out of games. You want to sprinkle Morris in there, not feature him on drives.

Yes, it is about pitch count. The most carries AP has ever gotten in a season is 363, but your asking for Zeke to get more than 23 which would put him at like 25 (400 on average for a season).

That would make absolutely no sense whatsoever to run Zeke that much as a rookie. Be happy with him being the leading rusher in the NFL, and don't worry about him getting more carries. Worry more about him being healthy for a potential playoff run.

Agreed. And Jaylon Smith might be the LB we need next year. Get the elite edge rusher, like you said. So far I think Maliek Collins is a keeper at DT.

Again, please read what I actually said rather than project your thoughts of what I'm saying into it.

I'm not saying he necessarily needs to carry the ball more, I'm saying that he shouldn't be taken out for an entire drive. You can give Morris the same amount of carries and Elliott the same amount of carries without taking him out for an entire drive.

we beat a depleted SF team, with Gabbert at the helm, plus some of their players went down during the game, and we re here sitting like we won the SB. oh my what is this board going to be like when we face a team that can beat us. oh wait, that was the Giants and people went off on every facet of the team.

 

[Ken]

Dak had a few bad throws, but to be 23-35 245 yds 2 tds 0 ints is not bad but good. Let's not forget he's a rookie QB playing better than vets, I've never seen a rookie QB play this well. I did not see one throw that I thought was a bad decision.

Except the would of been int....which seemed to slip out of his hand.

I agree though..
Criticizing him for a slow start on the road seems ridiculous but I guess that's how high he put the bar.

Lol...

It was on the road with some of our best on the bench.

We lose this game last year...enjoy it!

im still am and just applying win to the proper pieces. A win is a win is a win.

 

[Fletch]

Have to say I'm loving this team. Not so much the offensive coaching or game management, but I'm loving this team. No Romo, no Bryant, no Smith, no Gregory, no McClain, no Scandrick... no problem...

A lot of credit will be given to Dak, but I think he actually had one of his worst games here. Was very shaky early, which put the team in a pinch.

The reality is that Zeke Elliott is carrying this team on his back. The only thing getting in Elliott's way is when the coaches decide to get cute and give Morris carries for an entire drive. Please stop doing this. Elliott is better than Morris in every facet. He is an absolute beast, and the haters need to eat some crow here. He is exactly as advertised. First down after first down. I believe he now leads the league in rushing yards as well as rushing first downs... He is the reason why Dak is able to do what he is doing. This man is mean! Could have had 200 yards today if the coaches fed him. This boy is hungry, let him eat.

I hope people aren't down on Collins. We all knew Leary was a great player, but he isn't in the cards going forward. It is what it is. It was fortunate that we didn't trade him, and I was definitely on that bandwagon. We're lucky to have him.

I hope Bailey isn't losing his confidence with two back to back misses within 50.

Brice Butler needs to take a long walk at the end of the game. Not a smart guy, and very inconsistent. Needs to take the chip off of his shoulder and just play. Look at Beasley and how he did it. That's your template. Beasley is a straight up professional, which is more than I can say for Williams and Butler. I'll say it again, I'll take Josh Gordon in a heartbeat down the road.

The defense still needs to step it up, but they're not getting blown out out there. I hope that Lawrence can really make an impact on his return.

Nice post. I think a lot of people say show shaky Dak played, only to still make THE THROWS THAT MATTERED when we needed them. Good QBs do that. Dak did that!

Dak did very well, he didnt get excited being down 14 points. Kept his poise and did what he had to do. Big win for him. Made more with less today.

Dak's a rookie he's not supposed to be this good, especially down 14.

 

[slick325]

Radio reported that Bailey's back apparently tightened up before the game, so I hope its just that and it goes away as opposed to losin his confidence....

Thanks for the info...not good to hear.

Dallas is getting too many tight backs, backs are not good parts to be tight.

Jerry needs to get a better plane and team buses for the team. Better seats...better facilities with better chairs. It's gotta be Jerry's fault some how right @dallasdave? Lol

 

[dallasdave]

YOu hit the nail on the head

As a member of the four horsemen you know have to have your back in top shape for many things.
