My excitement and confidence in sustaining through this tough stretch is at an all time high this morning!
We're looking at Cassell as our field general, CMike as the lead dog with Randle back where he belongs as a 3rd down change of pace, and most importantly Collins in there at LG! Wow! We may actually get back to the formula that made us successful last year. Eat clock. Run the ball. Eat clock. Run the ball. Pass for a 1st down. Boom boom boom. Demoralize.
CMike and Randle will probably get equal carries but that formula alone will drastically improve our running game. La'el's insertion and CMike's final chance will prove more important than having Cassell on the field. Cassell will just need to drive the bus which he has proven to do very well over the years.
There was one play against the Pats where Leary got bull rushed straight back into Weeden which culminated in a sack. At that point, I made a mental note that La'el needed to take over that spot.
Here we sit at 2-3. Let's forget any woulda coulda shouldas and just focus in the present/future possibilities. Before these changes were announced, I felt within my heart that we could be 4-6 getting Romo back.
Now I feel as though we could be sitting at 7-3 with a continued lock on an ugly division. Remember, we're 2-0 in the NFCE. Here's how the next 5 games may line up with our new prospects on the field.
Giants: W 3-3 (3-0 div)
Seahawks: W 4-3 (3-0 div)
Eagles: W 5-3 (4-0 div)
Bucs: W 6-3 (4-0 div)
Dolphins: W 7-3 (4-0 div)
If you think we lose any of those games following a huge Giants win, I would love to hear your reasoning. I believe we are lined up for a serious run. Major changes. Major injection of confidence AND let's not forget getting Gregory back. Him and Hardy are going to wreak havoc.
I felt this was important enough to make a thread specifically regarding our fan perspectives before and after this week's announcements hit the air waves. Things are looking up folks!
