More or Less

[Gadfly22]

More...

Sean Lissemore -- the guy plays.

Running backs -- Tanner is on IR, Murray soon will be. Where's Tashard Choice this morning?

Sean Lee -- which is obvious.

Kowalski -- seems an upgrade to Costa (which isn't hard).

Screen passes -- Romo's pocket is shrinking to the size of a Levi's jean coin pocket. Something needs to slow down the pass rush, and it's not likely to be the Cowboys' O-line.

Pitches -- get Felix to the outside and stretch the D-line.

Less...

Blitzes -- (well, grammatically speaking, "fewer") they are not the be-all and end-all of NFL defending. Especially when you have only 1 consistent pass-rusher in your front 7.

Shotgun -- Romo may prefer it, but so apparently do the opposing defenses.

Time before the snap -- I know Romo is checking the defense, but this O-line has trouble holding their down position for so long. Step up the rhythm.

Brooking -- time to hang up the cleats.

Butterfingers -- it's probably selective memory at work, but Newman seems to drop 50% of his possible interceptions. If you handed him the football, I think he would drop it. And then pull a hamstring bending down to pick it up.

I believe Choice is with the Bills. Sucks that Tanner is on IR

Yes, Choice is with the Bills now. My question was directed at the irony of going from a "3-headed" running attack to a 1-headed one in the matter of a month or so.

My thoughts in bold

Sean Lissemore -- the guy plays. Agree

Running backs -- Tanner is on IR, Murray soon will be. Where's Tashard Choice this morning?I would rather sign Lattimore or Washington.

Sean Lee -- which is obvious. Beast

Kowalski -- seems an upgrade to Costa (which isn't hard). Kowalski should be the starting center. He seemed more fluid and comfortable.

Screen passes -- Romo's pocket is shrinking to the size of a Levi's jean coin pocket. Something needs to slow down the pass rush, and it's not likely to be the Cowboys' O-line. We did deploy multiple screens and they were quite effective.

Pitches -- get Felix to the outside and stretch the D-line. We need more of this

Less...

Blitzes -- (well, grammatically speaking, "fewer") they are not the be-all and end-all of NFL defending. Especially when you have only 1 consistent pass-rusher in your front 7. I am fine blitzing because Eli would of ate our lunch even more if we dropped back. We didn't get sacks, but we did apply a lot of pressure. We need to figure out who can blitz the QB besides Ware.

Shotgun -- Romo may prefer it, but so apparently do the opposing defenses. You should let Romo play in whatever he wants. He was near perfect last night and showed why he is an elite quarterback. Not many qbs march up the field with 40 seconds and get into an easy field goal position.

Time before the snap -- I know Romo is checking the defense, but this O-line has trouble holding their down position for so long. Step up the rhythm. Every other elite team does this. It outweighs hiking it earlier. It gets the defense antsy and it shows their hand. Ie. The pass to Austin was obvious that Romo knew what was coming, they just couldn't connect

Brooking -- time to hang up the cleats. Agreed

Butterfingers -- it's probably selective memory at work, but Newman seems to drop 50% of his possible interceptions. If you handed him the football, I think he would drop it. And then pull a hamstring bending down to pick it up.
