The penalties on the Cowboys are a reflection of our head coach. We're just not a smart football team. Wade says we usually practice well, but it never translates over to the game on Sunday. I don't get it.
I watch team after team execute a simple run play. I watch them execute through the air when they need a first down. When I watch the Cowboys, I watch our O-line consistently get blown off the ball. I don't see anyone getting to the second level on running plays because their too busy whiffing against their man, or falling down, or getting called for a false start, or holding. It has been every game thus far.
Today you could see Felix shaking his head while walking back to the sidelines after getting blown up at the LOS. How many times did we see a jailbreak on Tony Romo, who was forced to check down to Felix or Marion? Romo had very little time to look for his WR's down the field. We rarely go north with the ball anymore, whether it's running, or passing. Exactly how many check downs to the RB or make shift screen plays did we run today?
And another thing that is beginning to rear it's ugly head. Turnover Tony looks to be back in full form. I can't figure this guy out either. One play he looks like he could take on the world. The next play he's making a boneheaded throw. I know he's a good football player. But is he championship caliber? Will he ever be able to lead the Cowboys to a championship? I'm beginning to wonder as the seasons go by.
So are the Cowboys equipped to handle this kind of buried? I mean we're buried. 1-4 starting out is better than ending a season 1-4. But I can't see this team regrouping and responding. Not from what I see week in and week out.
Whatever is said by the media this week is deserved. They brought this upon themselves. Up next, the Giants on Monday night. Good luck O-line. Good luck Tony. Good luck Felix and Marion. You're gonna need it.
