I'm getting sick and tired of this blame-the-player nonsense. The whole off-season it was about how Garrett is going to spread the ball now that TO is gone. We are now back to Roy Williams is to blame because he isn't having all-world numbers.
Seriously... If it weren't for Miles Austin putting on a show in two games, the offense would be absolutely pathetic. Now teams have essentially taken Miles Austin out and we are back to receivers not getting open. It is the same exact tendency as last year and nothing has changed.
The fact is, teams are just dropping back in coverage and WRs are running these long-developing routes, and Romo is expected to buy time in the pocket while the pocket consistently breaks down and throw to somebody whose in triple coverage. Even the pass which he threw over Roy's left shoulder, 3 DBs surrounded Roy...
On the two almost INTs, the LB dropped back into coverage on the slant, knowing full well it was coming. On that fourth down that the Commanders stopped, it seemed to be almost the same exact play. Witten was the option on the out, that was taken away and Romo's second option was the same slant and the LB once again dropped back, taking away that route for Romo, while the pressure came.
We ran play-action too this game, but it didn't even create any tendency in the DBs to bite, because the defenses don't respect the play-calling. Our short passing game is non-existent. It is why we struggle in the red-zone and are horrible in 3rd and long conversions...
