McFadden has been a good complete back for us

Dez was suppose to run a slant because of the blitz.

See the blitz coming but probably no designed plays to counter that. Team has never heard of a quick slant. Dez would own

What's it going to be then, eh?

Makes you wonder in an average game how many times mistakes like that happen.

I do not understand why we have so little of Bryant crossing the field.

If that's not the call, it is on Romo. The coaching staff's job isn't to change the call because they see blitz

I think Romo expected Dez to run the slant and he didn't. Tony implied that carefully in his presser without throwing Dez under the bus.

no it wasn't. It was poor execution by the players on the field. Dez didn't read the blitz. Once he didn't Tony should have ate the ball and took the sack. There are only so much a coach can do, players still play the game and when your best two players on offense make mistakes on the same play, hard to blame the coaching. I know that don't fit your agenda so please carry on.

He was injured in preseason so Cleveland picked him up knowing he was limping, he obviously looks close to 100% and our good for picking him up. He was always ahead of CM in Seattle's talent chart.

I saw that on the replay, and even though I was upset about the pick I still had to laugh. Looked like me playing with my son in the back yard. DMC has turned out to be much better than I thought he would be. Too bad we wasted so much time on Randle early this year.

Dez ran a post, Romo threw a fade, and you want a slant......
I agree that slant would've been the most optimal thing to do there.. Or JAson Witten on a drag route to the left might've been even simpler.
Regardless, it's just more signs of a poorly coached team.
Even before the play Romo was looking at the sidelines like there was some type of miscommunication.
We're just so so sloppy and poorly coached on offense.

Yep... Hopefully he's a longterm plan for us as a #2.

Yeah, I was disappointed that they didn't sign him the first time and was shocked they traded for Michael when they showed no interest in the draft.

Good question. My guess is they are taking that away from him. Still not sure he couldn't beat it.
