Keith Brooking: "We weren't as dominant as the score indicated."

[casmith07]

On Werder's little report this morning, he said that Keith Brooking said we weren't as dominant as the score indicated last Sunday, and that the team spent additional time watching film including film of Michael Vick.

Not as dominant as the 24-0 score indicated?

I LOVE IT.

The best offseason pick up since Haley.

I have been saying this ALL week. Philly dropped a LOT of passes and/or overthrew a couple. Also a few passes were thrown high or behind by McNabb. If we leave the middle of the field open and their pass catchers hang on to the ball....3 or 4 drives would have been extended and the score would have been different. I still think we would have won...but you cannot think they will drop the ball this week. Take it to them....be physical....and prepare for a 60 min battle.

Offense left 10-14 points on the board. Some Romo passes were really close to getting picked off, not just to Miles but to Witten too.

Every game in the nfl has a lot of ifs. good teams capitalize on the other's mistakes, and that's what the cowboys did. the cowboys had just as many mistakes as did the eagles, but the score was lopsided as it was because the cowboys are the better team, making better use of their opponents mistakes.

sorry, i just hate always hearing about how 'if this and if that'. you are what your record says you are, and you played as well as your last game indicates.

I agree...and I think that is where Roy Williams can help. A couple of balls were forced into Crayton and Witten. Maybe Philly will be looking at that and we will unleash Roy. I am not as down on Roy as most people are...because there is NO WAY he is as bad as people are saying. If we feed him the ball all game...and he comes up lame...then I will join in. But I have a feeling he will be called upon often before the book on this season is closed...and I am confident he will answer.

A lot of people are suspecting Kevin Ogletree's breakout party is near.

 

[zeroburrito]

a lot of the eagles damage was self inflicted as well.

He is only saying what is factual. Being from Philly and going to see my first game in Dallas since becoming a Cowboys fan 35 years ago, that game could not have been any better. What a great time I had.

But let’s look at that game realistically. The Eagles left points on the board. If you look at the open overthrow, the fumble on the 10 yard line and the missed field goal, they probably missed 13 points. So Brookie is right, they helped us look dominant and I’m glad they know that.

While I’m on the subject of them helping us, I have no idea what the Eagirls were doing defensively in the first half. They did not blitz that much, and when they did it came from the zone. That style of blitz our offensive line has had very good success picking it up and Tony ate it alive. When they stunt blitz with eight in the box, our line has had a lot of trouble picking that up and our offense has had trouble scoring. They did that in the second half and slowed us down. We did catch them on Felix’s TD run doing that though so that is encouraging. I look for a closer game but the same results.

GO BOYS!

I don't care about the Eagles leaving points on the board. None of that matters. We didn't get any "help" from the Eagles and shouldn't expect to tonight.

What matters to me is that Brooking is saying that 24-0 is no indication of what WE COULD'VE DONE to them. Why can't anyone give our team any credit?

I tried to tell a few posters that Keith Brooking was a good player and still had some left in the tank. Real good linebackers generally last til about age 36 or so. Brooking is 34 I think.
Plus that Brooking was drafted in the first round and a very good player for Atlanta for years. Sometimes, players that get a new scenery change etc, do good, like charles haley for example. Yeah, i know haley was a defensive linemen, but he was a pretty good linebacker coming out of college.

I wonder what some of those zoners, hehe, I know one of them for sure that had some negative stuff to say about brooking when we signed him.

I know my football and most of the time I am right, now on my punctuation, writing, I lack in some of those skills, but I know my Dallas Cowboys football and what i see most of the time. Granted now and then im wrong, but most of the time, i know what i see.

He's absolutely right.

Philly played well enough to get at least three points.

I like that. I like that a lot. it means they are not satisfied. they are focused and I love the fact everyone is giving credit and picking the eagles. most don't still believe us, so it won't allow us to get over confident. I think we are going to see a few surprises from wade tonight. few blitzes that he hadn't shown and hit macnabb in the mouth. McNabb often folds and hears footsteps when he gets hit, specially early in the game, so lets hit the SOB

 

[HoosierCowboy]

would you rather him say that we played great and destroyed them? let them be focused on a team that can beat us

 

[ElGatoGrande]

The Cowboys offense and special teams should get a huge amount of credit for the shutout since they played keep-away, made the Iggles play from behind, and made them drive 80+ yards every time,,, When all three phases of the game are clicking, no single phase has to be totally dominant.

Go team~!

Dude, if that pass that was thrown to Austin that Asante almost picked off had been thrown to Roy, it would have intercepted because he doesn't fight for balls. He is not getting thrown to because he is unreliable - neither Romo nor Garrett trust him and with good reason. We destroyed the Eagles without him, who cares about RW? Not me.

 

[sbark]

trying to keep the younger player to keep from eating too much cheese,

The Iggles will show up to play, for sure early, Dont give them early Mo'

If we feed him the ball all game and he comes up lame, it will be too late for it to matter.

This isn't week 18. Loser goes home. I am not looking in Roy's direction unless you could drive a Peterbilt between him and the closest defender.

Yep. Dont show any satsfaction. Act like it isnt good enough. Find every flaw they can and work even harder.

Sharp contrast to previous seasons.
