I read all this fear! The Cowboys should be P O'd not scared. They hung in there till the 4th quarter against NE and should be upset they didn't do better through the full 4 quarters. I am already feeling this slip back into the mentality of the last 10 years, where we are slipping back behind the hump whereas it looked like the team had finally gotten over it.
Phillips looks a little down in the mouth. I want him to up the energy and yelling a bit this week. I know it's not his personality but this team needs to be pumped up a bit after 2 poorer showings.
Minni has the rookie RB as it's main weapon. Big deal. He's a good player. Well so are Witten, TO, and Barber (and Julius Jones). Not to mention Romo. Granted Minni's D, especially against the run is stout, but our team should be motivated and should play to win. Focus defending Petterson and kick some arse.
Here are some ideas. Our two minute drill has been awesome so far this year. Why don't we go no-huddle as some have suggested in forums this week. Script a dozen plays and mix it up with some no-huddle early. Be aggresive, don't play conservative style. This doesn't mean force Romo to drill passes into coverage, this just means keep the tempo going.
Start Barber early. Barber has shown quite a bit of excitement of his own, but NO NO we can't risk him wearing down. Sheesh, Minni rides their 6 game back and we are still trying to figure out if Barber is good enough to start the rotation we use. What a joke. What does the guy have to do to prove he can provide an early spark. This isn't anything against Jones either, it's about putting players in the best position to do well and contribute. Lets throw to our backs in this game, A LOT. If Minni clogs the middle and stops the run well, make lots of short passes to Jones and Barber, so they get past that first Dline and into the LB area, then they can run from there.
How about some trick plays! Have we had a reverse or flee flicker or even a screen in 4 games? Lets keep Minni on its toes.
I'm pumped for this game. We need to win big going into the bye as the schedule gets real important soon with 5 NFCE games down the stretch with all the East teams looking very competitive.
Go after this game. Don't let them dictate it to us like in the Parcells era, keep doing what worked this year early (yes, it was against less than stellar opposition, it doesn't matter). Get creative early and keep going.
We match up well against Minni, this game should be a win if the players excecute. Discipline and smart coaching will help. Pump the Boys up. We sound a bit rattled still. Sheesh
