I've been wondering why more teams didn't attack Dallas in the flats. Since their OLB's are their only effective pass rushers and the Cowboys play their safeties back in coverage ALOT, nowbody's home in the flats. Heck, look how often they just tossed it over Ware's head when he committed to the QB. THey could have done that all day. Well, ok they did.

It's been exposed over the last few weeks. Shockey would just run over to the sideline and sit there. He'd get at least 8 yds evertime.

You'd think since Davis and Williams spend so much time in coverage they could actually cover someone. Where is Roy's hitting gone? He just grabs guys now. And Davis has turned into a liability to other players. I've seen him take out several of his own guys with his bad angles.

Games like that are good for showing what the Cowboys need to address in the off season. How about Adalius Thomas to give Ware some help? How about any true FS with range. I'm sure I'll think of some more. :confused:

Bingo. This was the game plan and the Saints executed it flawlessly. We had no answer for the passes out of the flats and for tight end routs.

Watkins probably has as much range as anybody...and i certainly think he would have made a better play on the ball than davis did

Saw it last week, Schockey gotta slowed late in game with an adjustment, and then Tiki and Jacobs went wild.........

Payton just kept going with that line, and we couldnt adjust or mix it up

What would it take to fake ware at the Qb and float him to the flats and bring one othe MLB's on a blitz up the gut...........imagination?

Next rep, run a Mlb to the flats hard and then send Ware..........Burnett better suited for that than Brady for sure

I've been harping on this all year. So much my friend's are sick of hearing me say it.

We've been soft on our edges all season. Payton just took it to another level tonight.

Exactly... so worried about the deep ball, that we allow opposing teams to dink and dunk all day, eating up a big chunk of possession time...
