We all knew this would be a hard fought game....
Give the Skins some credit....they made no mistakes and played efficient and stopped our running game.
But I have had a few concerns last year and it continues this year.....
First off....
Our defense is supposed to be very talented.......but we rarely play to our potential.
Last year we blamed injuries and Reeves for our bend but dont break defense.
This year we pick up Pacman...and drafted two very solid and talented rookies to play CB.
Yet this team continues to play soft....the opposing offense dictates and this team and coaches are content to let the passing plays be completed in front of them. (and behind them )
With no aggression.....we continue to bend....hope for the opposing teams to self destruct and kick Fg's......last week it worked in the Boys favor...this week it bit us.
But is this the way we want our defense to play? so passive? reminds me of the days when campo was DC......his excuse was we didnt have the DB's or Pass rush.
Now we have talent and Wade and co are content to let the other teams drive right thru us.....eat up the clock and hope the opposing teams kicks FG's.
No wonder we have no ints........this defense has no identity...no fire
Another concern,
I love Romo....exciting player but these ints are going to kill us and Im not sure he is diciplined enough to lead us to a Sb victory......I know its eary...but just a concern.
Also....hasnt our OL been overrated? When we need to run....and the defense is set to stop the run......this OL fails more then it succeeds. JMHO
We saw how the skins could run against us when they really had to....or is that more of our players being overrated?
Oh well....
It was a hard fought game....but I am surprised how easily Owens was just manned up with Springs and couldnt get seperartion....surprised that this defense continues to play poorly and when a big stop is needed....it doesnt come thru.....surprised how little emotion this defense has even with a vet like Zach on the club and supposely superstar players like Ratliff and Ware.
Surprised losing a home game to the skins....and letting a rookie coach like Zorn come here and lead a less talented team to victory over a supposely SB contender like the Cowboys.
