That's what happens when four of your best DL aren't playing. You chalk it up to circumstance and move on to the next week.

I agree losing players was a big factor, I'm sure Marnelli expected more than he got out of the guys. I do think getting Mincey back will be a big help. He may not be a star player but he is a solid dependable player

The Sunday Night in America show displayed how Church completely blew the coverage on Julio's long score off 3rd and 3. He sunk down in the coverage to double a shallow crosser leaving Julio a clear path to run away from his man and Wilcox who was the right deep safety. We played Julio yesterday like we had no clue who he was.

Thanks. I thought there was something odd about how clear he was and Wilcox coming over from such a long way away

Some stuff from Mickey. I know he is not popular on here. But he still knows more than most that think they know more...LOL...
On his normal 9:30 CST time slot.

On coverage of Julio Jones. Carr or Mo. Depends on how they want to cover him. If press coverage, then Carr as he is more physical. If going to give him some space, then Mo, as the has the speed to close that gap and keep up with him. However, they still should roll a s over the top either way.
They both been playing very well, but this is the first time they go against multiple WR sets, actyally 3 WR's. Jones, White and Hankerson been playing well also.

So DL needs to apply pressure. They have been doing that, just haven't got the sacks. Said Bradford had a lot of pressure and was probably seeing ghosts out there. as to getting hit and sacked. If ryan has time in pocket he will pick you apart.

Better WR, Julio or Dez. Can be argued as 1/2 or 2/1either way as top. Dez more physical after the catch. Jones can get by you in the blink of an eye, runs great routes and gets open quick.

Michael coming in at RB, how many questions he gets when. Fisher gets a lot, so does Mickey. He said well, who would you sit, and from what he has seen so far, he has not seen evidence Michael could make that big of a difference. Said most of the questions about Michael coming from Aggie fans over and over. LOL.

They brought up some Vegas odds. Eagles & Cowboys at 3/2 to win the East, Cowboys at 20/1 and Eagles at 22/1 odds to win SB. Seattle at 10/1. Cowboys now at over / under wins at 8. Mickey said probably about right, as many think 9 or 10 wins still possible, but the pessimists will go the under.

Weeden at over / under for 250 yards and 1-1/2 TD's this week. Mickey said if he gets over 250 yards, Cowboys win, if he throws 2 TD's, Cowboys win.
Need to remember, last year against a great Arizona D. 12 of his 33 passes were in the last 6 minutes when behind. The D could just go after him. Leary was out that game, and Free was out half of the game. Murray had 79 yards. And it's easy for fans to say, just run the ball, and control the game. well that is bogus, because defensive coordinators would just say, they will run, so gear up for that. so need to throw the ball down the field. Can't just run and throw short.

Also, said look to the D. In Sean lee you trust.

There are still people out there who listen or read what this Spagnola says or writes ?

I cant believe it.
