With the pressue Tony was getting from the Cards, I think the Screen play would have helped negate their pass rush.

Both Murray and Jones have shown they are very capable receivers out of the backfield.

Hard to understand !
 
What about some slants. We actually scored on one of those yesterday.

How about some drag routes or some swing passes to Felix and Murray in the flat?


It was hard to watch how Garrett wasn't putting pressure on a blitzing defense and our fanbase is giving the Oline a lot of blame that isn't fare.
 
You'll have to ask the "human computer" Jason Garrett (aka numbnuts).

It worked a bunch of times in other games a long time ago, so maybe Numbnuts Garrett took it out of the playbook. Figured it wouldn't work anymore. :confused:

Gotta gameplan.

I was asking the same question
 
We didn't throw screens to Chapas, Phillips, and Dez?

Come on people.

People say this every game... and we run screens EVERY GAME.
 
To make screens work, you need mobility out of your OL. Our three interior guys don't move well right now. Holland and Costa are weak in that area, and Kosier has his plantar fasciitis. Free and Smith can move, but it takes more than a mobile OT to make a screen work.

We have run swing passes, wheel routes, etc. But look at yesterday with Felix. They blitz, he runs a perfect route, Romo makes a perfect throw, and he can't pick up the ball.
