Ok,this is what I saw why we lost and how we or the Cowboys can fix the problems.
First, granted, the Patriots are a good team, they are still cheaters, and dirty players, but they are still a good very good team.
Second, until we or the Cowboys find out why we dont come out of the gate, and dont score points until the 2nd or 3rd quater, if you look at all of our 6 games, we dont really score until the 3rd quarter. Until that is fixed, either lack of fire or desire in the 1st quarter if fixed we will have problems against good teams.
Third, if you remember last year, on some plays last year, with Dallas Cowboys on defense, on slant plays, several critical interceptions were made by Aaron Glenn, we miss his leadership and savvy on slant plays, and helping newman in the secondary. Nate Jones and Reeves arent getting the job done.
If it was me, I would call the Jacquars up and trade a 5th to 6th round pick to Jacksonville for Aaron Glenn.
Every time, we come out in 1st quarter, Julius Jones comes out in 1st quarter, runs alittle and goes down on first couple of plays, that has to stop. Now either the offensive linemen that are getting super money to play guys like Gurode, Flozell, Columbo and Davis arent doing their job and taking it too lightly on 1st quarter or Julius Jones isnt running hard enough in 1st quarter, that has to stop.
Then, best to my knowledge, Commissioner Goodell was suppose to announce this week if Tank Johnson could come back after the 6th or 7th or 8th game, to my memory he hasnt announced it yet, we need a good NT to help out Ratliff at NT.
Next, granted Tyson Thompson returned a kickoff for 70 plus yards, but, but, his average if you take that back on kickoffs was 16 yard kickoff average, something has to change there, either more guys focused on blocking like they did on the big kickoff return or a better kickoff returner.
Next, I am not sure any of you are aware of this, but Julius Jones was an excellent punt returner at Notre Dame, why not try him at that spot. We need a good kick returner and punt returner, and No, we do not need Newman returning punts, thats how he got hurt in the first place.
If we can get Tank Johnson back this week will help significantly.
Almost done, the penalities have got to stop, like illegal shifts, or offsides is totally uncalled for. No way should a WR or TE jump offside or shift in motion, or a NT jump offsides.
Finally, if we can get by the Vikings and win that game next week,, with a little more fire from the offense, God Bless Marion Barber, he has heart, something that some of the offensive players need. And if we can get Tank Johnson back quickly, get by Vikings with a win, get the bye week, get Hoyte back after that, and Terry Glenn back where we can spread defenses like Patriots did us, and maybe get Aaron Glenn back, look out!!!!!!!!!
