OK, the negative view of things.

i agree but only when jj was in there, but i think that had to do with no OL blocking. Barber made his own holes so he actually look better than jj. if this continues Barber could be our RB.

I disagree with that assessment, niether could generate much positive yardage tonight, which is probably more of a sign that the O-line is just getting no push.Baber IMO didn't show anymore production than JJ did.

My thoughts exactly....in addition, I did not see Carp close in on a tackle......

I'm not too concerned about Ware.

Remember, this is vanilla time. I doubt Ware is going to show too many of his new moves because teams will then have material for film study.

I think he's going to save them for the regular season.

Other points are duly noted, and thanks for this thread. Sometimes you learn more from the negatives than you do the positives.

I don't agree that Watkins played bad.

He was around the ball on every play he was in. He did get that facemask penalty and one pass got by on him however he slipped right before he was about to tackle the guy so it was not like he blew the coverage or anything.

about JJ...without Bledsoe and T.O. in the game the Seahawks did not have to respect our passing game at first since they had no idea what Romo is capable of. Just like last year, when they don't respect our passing game our running game suffers due to the extra attention JJ gets.

Am I correct that our run game blew? That is my concern.
Jones showed early on a flair pass he still has moves. The line could not open a hole big enought to get 2 molecules of air through. I think the backs are fine, Thompson had a decent 15 yard bolt. But really the back could not get started. I think the Oline blocking was more the culprit then bad running backs.
