Give Cassel credit. He's getting it

[TheMarathonContinues]

No turnovers is good, but the offense was as bad as its ever been last night, especially in the first half. We need more production to have any shot against GB.

Ehhh.... I know Haslett isn't their DC anymore but for whatever reason this is our type of game against the Skins. This is how they all look even with Romo. Ugly and low scoring.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Cassel was a bus driver.

That's really all this team needed from either he or Weeden. If either one would have just driven the bus, this team would be in first place by at least three games.

 

[Bleu Star]

Street should have been cut last night. . . I'm so tired of that dude.

 

[Chuck 54]

Cassel still sucks....he missed wide open guys on the blitz. You wouldn't think a veteran would panic the way he does, but he threw behind every hot receiver on the slants vs. the blitz, and most of the time they were wide open.

 

[Wrangler87]

He did what he had to do to win. He drove the team into FG rang with 44 seconds left and came away with the victory. He's certainly not perfect, but he can get the job done if everything else is going well.

In his defense, the game may have not even been that close if McFadden would not have fumbled twice.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Cassel was horrifically bad. I like his guts and fight, but he just doesn't have the skills anymore. He is somehow getting worse and providing less utility with each start. In his first start even with the turnovers he was throwing guys open and creating plays that weren't there (with no Dez). The last two games he can't connect on even the simplest of throws half the time. I really hope they're getting Moore ready to play.

 

[Everson24]

Saw a ton of batted balls and his arm getting hit as he threw. Is it his motion? Does he have a slow release...Something wasn't right in Denmark, he was telegraphing his throws enough for the DL to get their hands up. Still, a win is a win, so we'll take that.

He has the slowest release since Byron Leftwich

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Street should have been cut last night. . . I'm so tired of that dude.

Street should hit the street?

 

[BigD5]

He had a close call on a target to Beasley late in the 4th quarter that was dropped by the Commanders defender. I know the Cowboys are used to seeing their own CB's drop INT's but that was a pass that the Commander guy had a great shot to catch.

Eh.. If Cole Beasley was paying attention and recognized he was the hot read and turns around and looks it's an easy 1st down

 

[IrishAnto]

Boy was he off early in the game. He also needs to get the ball to Dez more, our offense is just better when he is involved. I don't think it is a coincidence that our offense woke up when he started to get targets.

Overall though, he didn't make mistakes---I don't even think he had any close calls so that is a start.

He did have one that was dropped by the Skins defender.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Cassel is a bus driver that drank a six pack before their route.

The only reason he wasn't picked of is because the DB dropped a ball that hit him in the hands.

Dude has the slowest release and stares down receivers and was saved by defense and special teams.

 

[CowboyChris]

Cassell looks like a washed up QB in my opinion.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Cassell looks like a washed up QB in my opinion.

Nobody really looked good last night... Except Bailey.

 

[texbumthelife]

He definitely looked off with his accuracy and timing yesterday. It just feels like this team doesn't practice at full speed or something. The offense always seems to come in off a beat. The defense on the other hand, holy cow! Those boys gave us something to be proud of! I worry for Sean Lee's life after football and long term health, but that guy has looked ALL-WORLD a few times this season. When they play the singly high/bear defense, the swagger is obvious and the team flies to the ball. Really impressed with what Rod did with these guys last night. I have been screaming all season for the stunts and slants, last night they were absolutely money. Even when they weren't getting to Cousins, he was thinking about it.

Sorry got off topic... Yeah, Cassel looked a little off, but he made the throws when we needed it most. Propers to the 'stache.

 

[TX_Yid]

Cassell looks like a washed up QB in my opinion.

Absolutely this. I was hopeful when he came in but he doesn't have the arm strength. We need to look elsewhere for our backup next year.

 

[khiladi]

Dez saved the offense in the fourth on the last drive. That amazing catch by Dez on the sidelines, that was an awful throw either way. Could have been picked.

That being said, Cassell's throw to Dez on the bomb was nice.

 

[Kevinicus]

He had a close call on a target to Beasley late in the 4th quarter that was dropped by the Commanders defender. I know the Cowboys are used to seeing their own CB's drop INT's but that was a pass that the Commander guy had a great shot to catch.

I think that was more on Beasely not looking for the ball. Should have been a first down.

 

[Ring6]

The good:
Jet sweep timing and execution, including blocking, was on point.
Lee was getting off blocks in his sleep.
Lawrence executed well in the rush trick.

The bad:
Cassel had horrible accuracy the first few drives.
OL had issues blocking the edge on run plays.

The ugly:
Darren McFadden and Devin Street

I think Turbin should have stayed in (instead of McFadden returning)

 

[Doomsay]

He's the short bus driver this team has been looking for.

 

[Nexx]

He's not getting crap, we have to score tds at least two a game.
