J Randle had 91 yards in first half and finished with 87

[FLCowboyFan]

Let's that sink in for a moment. He rushed for -5 yards in the 2nd half. How crazy is that?

 

[CyberB0b]

The offensive line didn't do him any favors in 3 games this year. He's been getting hit 5 yards deep in the backfield consistently.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I expected nothing from him.

How hard is it to put 8 in the box and Make Weeden beat you? Answer: Not very.

Put that on an incompetent QB. Couldn't do anything to get the defense out of the 8 man fronts. Then on passing downs, they allowed the underneath dumpoffs to Dunbar.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Ouch!

 

[FLCowboyFan]

The sad part is that I think Weeden was only doing what he was told by the coaching staff

Pretty hard, he was throwing it very well. We can't run against the run defense, we either exploit the nickle defense with a run or lose three yards.

 

[AzorAhai]

Ahhh, yes. A let's blame the running game thread. Everyone knows thats why this game was a loss.

Who can run a deep route on this team?

 

[fifaguy]

Not the first time that the Cowboys have blown a big first half lead. Once Atlanta got it going we pretty much cratered on all fronts...

Which plays, specifically, did you think the QB ought to have gone downfield on where he didn't? He was definitely taking what was there underneath all day, but I didn't see him missing anything the WRs were giving him on the outside, other than maybe that Williams drop to end the game.

Atlanta adjusted and correctly forced the game on Weeden

 

[FLCowboyFan]

It would be interesting to go back and watch the game to see what the WR's not named Beasley were doing all game. I don't think we hit one pass to them. If the D took away the running game and the short passes there had to be something that SHOULD have opened up

We can't run the ball against a 7 or 8 man front like last year. Randle and DMAC need complete space.

Especially when you are kept in conservative mode as a QB.

I think a lot of our problem is that the other teams know what is coming. We need to disguise and/or mix it up better.

Let's not forget about Williams first drop. He had two big drops today.

This is why we miss power running like we had from Murray. Once those holes close up, McFadden and Randle are stuck with 1 or 2 yard gains. We need to get Michael in there and see if we can get constant forward progress.

 

[Aven8]

Like my thread last week, I've seen enough of Randle. He's a complimentary back, not a starter.
