Great job Marc

[Number1]

at this point in the season it's about healthy playmakers grinding out the 15th game of a NFL season

how the coaches use them matter and how well prepared they are matters, but mostly it's about being mentally and physically tough on the field.

does this team meet their HC's standard of of hustle? yeah

do they have the talent? yeah, but never forget every man on the field is an awesome athlete

are they healthy enough? we're missing 3 season starters Crawford, LVE, and Brown.
IMO that's better than it could have been ... but the injury list long.

are they tough enough? I could go into a player by player but it's a a team game
but, in in the simplest of terms, follow the money ...
Wentz and the Cowboys OL hold team shaping big cap investments

Is Wentz tough enough to do this ?
He hasn't been to date in his career. By the way, Dak was last year, and he's better now.

is the Cowboy OL tough enough?
I've a big critic in 2017 and 2018 and always felt the season is more on Colombo than Garrett
this is the coach you trust with your $60M OL - they have to dominate
Zeke is still the NFL's 5th leading rusher on a team throwing 5x more a game vs 2018
That really was Aaron Donald they all but made disappear last week,
did the same to Fletcher Cox earlier this year
Dak's been sacked a NFL low 18 times ... down from 50+ at this point last year

at times things have gotten clunky but still - season stats really don't lie much

GREAT JOB MARC

Frederick seems to get better by the game and La'el should be all all pro (that was so wrong)
we send 3 OL to the PB but La'el out played them - left handed popularity contests ...

this OL is tough enough

my money is on the Boys

I was worried about this o-line and their run blocking but last week they showed they can still get it done.

I wish I could explain why it seemed this line couldn't run block for weeks and everyone questioned them and Zeke because it was a shell of what it used to be, then last week, they ran the ball at will and just dominated.

I dont know if Columbo deserves all the credit but I like that even though they struggled they seemed to have turned it around and responded well. Paul Alexander was a disaster move and I will say the line did seem to improve once Columbo took over but they weren't running blocking all that great early on, something clicked last week though and I hope it is a sign of things to come.

Good post @Number1

 

[blueblood70]

its a mystery why we are 7-7 with all that greatness listed..

mistakes. bad tackling, lack of turnovers from the defense and dont let the slow start by the line being terrible run blockers early go, they were getting penalized at the worse times etc etc

now it comes down to one game..lets just see how they respond..on the road outdoors in late December for the division and playoffs..

 

[TheHerd]

Even though their last two opponents were bad, seeing Wentz engineer 2 comebacks worries me a little. Late game chokes was one thing we could count on from him. And Dak hasn't been so good in that regard this year.

 

[Creeper]

This game being on the road helps the Eagles defense. The crowd noise makes hard counts and other snap count strategy useless. The OL better be on the ball today.

IMO, Garrett teams play better vs familiar opponents

Get the run working Marc. Like now man.

 

[blueblood70]

Get the run working Marc. Like now man.

8-9 man fronts how about Dak get his passes on target and hit the guys in stride..his completions are even ugly.. we knew this was going to be sell out to stop the run I mean way overload the box and force an injured dak to throw.. well hes not doing very well

 

[Hardline]

Dak's accuracy is an issue.

 

[slick325]

Dak's accuracy is an issue.

Always has been and always will be. So is his lack of consistent anticipation of throws.
