Just for fun: How would you call next week's game?

Just because Mike Leach's Red Raiders embarass A&M regularly doesn't mean it will work against a pro team, sorry, I suspect this is why you want Bob Stoops to leave Oklahoma so bad and come to Dallas as well.

You're clueless, but thanks for playing

Even with the injury to Trufant I still feel their secondary is the best part of that D. Mainly because of the Defensive scheme Ray Rhodes runs.

I really hope we try to establish the run early in the game with Barber than switch it up with JJ, get them both involved early then work of that with playactions and misdirections etc etc... I believe we can catch JULIO Peterson being overly aggressive coming off the edge. Plus Wistrom isnt good against the run.

Their top 3 corners are out, not just Trufant

How would I call this upcoming game? I call it prolonged tortue.

I'd call it "Tuna's Last Stand".

Just my opinion....

Offense: Pull a page out of Mike Leach's playbook. Go with somewhat of a spread that involves Romo operating out of the shotgun more times than not, with 3/4/5 wide sets. That forces Seattle to go deep into their horribly depleted secondary and also will give Romo a lot of opportunities to run out of the pocket where he is most dangerous. Throw in a delayed draw to barber/Jones every now and then, maybe a few misdirection runs out of 3+ wide sets, etc. Force an injured defense to spread out and play the run, the pass, and the running QB every play.

Defense: Blitz early, blitz often, blitz all day. Hasslebeck WILL eat us up if we try and play coverage, so why force a few sacks and turnovers along the way by blitzing? We're gonna give up some big plays either way, might as well put pressure on them along the way. Also, use RW as your main blitzer off the edge and on delayed blitzes. Show a vlitz from Ayodele or Carp, then drop them back deep in place of Roy and have Roy come up on the blitz. It doesnt have to be elaborate, just force them to choose between a LB and a safety and hope they choose wrong.

I like it, especially the defensive recommendations.

Is there really any other choice but for Bill and Zim to do what they passionately hate to do?

Which leads to another problem..how effectively can they disguise the blitzes..Hasselbeck will be even better at recognizing them as Kitna, and Holmgren's just as savvy about teaching recognition as Martz.
