I think last week fooled us. But I think we need to look at the roster and understand that this team is lacking depth at certain positions and tried to fill it in with cheap unproven, or over the hill players.
Brooks and Tolbert are JAGs, I am not sure Brooks would play for any other team but Dallas.
The defense has not fixed the problems that had last year. There is no pass rush outside Micah and if a team commits to stopping him there is no one else to put pressure on the QB. The run defense is only marginally improved over last year.
On offense, we have no running game and that puts a lot of pressure on receivers like Tolbert and Brooks because CeeDee is going to see a lot of attention and Cooks is a limited #2 at best.
Finally, to think that a rookie like Carson could come in and take the place of an all-pro like Bland is just folly.
I think Dallas is going to have games like this one all season long. Their weaknesses along the DL, and the inability to threaten defenses with a running game are going to open them up to some big offensive outputs against them.
.......Sitting out free agency was the dumbest move all off season. Your not fooling anyone with Jordan Phillips and Linvil Joseph signings.
