PLAYBOOK: KC-Dal Preview (only Dal recap)

[WoodysGirl]

Missed what KC needs to do to win. Turned on right when they were covering Dallas.

They talked about the Cowboys struggles offensively. Sterling said the popular belief is to blame the OL. They showed game film of a couple games (I couldn't tell which) in which they showed Bledsoe holding the ball too long. In one case, they clocked him holding the ball 5 secs. They also showed where he missed Witten and either Barber or Jones on check down plays where you could tell he was holding out for the deep ball.

Showed his stats for the 1st six games and the last six games and how there was a clear decline in his play.

For the Cowboys to win, they have to have a better running game. They have to run better than they have the last few weeks. They have to dominate TOP to keep KC's offense off the field.

Don't recall them mentioning the Dal D. Might have been during KC's spin.

I think that's about it, but if anybody heard different, feel free to correct me or add to it.

Bledsoe needs to get to the check downs if we're going to win.....

Forgot to add, Sterling or Soloman said they think Bledsoe doesn't like Witten. Response was "Why" and then showed how often Witten would be wide open and rolling right in front of him and Bledsoe wouldn't throw to him.

I can't imagine how true that is, but I really did think Bledsoe would go to Witten a lil more often than he has. Even tho Witten still has very good numbers. We saw last year what he's capable of.

I hope he has check downs to go to, because if we keep using max protect so much, he won't on a bunch of plays. The lack of check downs is probably part of the reason he's holding onto to it at times.

Bledsoe's field awareness was just brutal in that breakdown...those guys were wide open.

When was your sig pic taken?

 

[big_neil]

What are they trying to prove? That after Bledsoe gets sacked, hurried, pressured and hammered for 30 straight minutes, that he starts to play worse?

1998.

For some reason Drw likes to rocket the dump offs. JJ has adequate hands, but ifs catching bullets from 5 yards away, that are usuaully off, hes not going to get much
Drew needs to work on timing with his safety valves.

I keep remembering Romo in pre-season, pass rush or not he always seemed to be on top of it. Dump off, shor, intermediate routes he had a great touch on the ball. At this point in time I wish Bledsoe had more of that.

I'm sorry to say i've seen Witten drop a pass in every game lately - wide open he'll fail to bring it in, and the passes are on target and catchable. I do think he's favoring Glenn though, and Witten needs to start catching the balls that do come his way.

"like" probably doesn't have as much to do with it as "not liking" to give in to the shorter patterns...he wants to put the ball downfield and will give it more time than he should, by which time the shorter check down routes are probably covered or against the sideline.

That makes sense.
