1st. If anyone watched the DFW sports beat show monday night, you saw some clips of bradie james stating that he was surprised that when our defense walked up to the line of scrimmage, pretty much of the time, Chargers offense knew our signals.
Was that due to linebacker burnett giving stuff away since burnett used to play for us or is that due to the cowboys using a simple base defense, and its all on tape now for teams to see? Or is our coaching staff not preparing the players enough on new schemes etc to throw offenses off?
2nd, If you remember when ware went out, 3rd and 12 down and distance, rivers hit us on a deep pass. Newman stated that he was suppose to jam the CB but he didnt. Is this due to the fact, that the cowboys coaches dont realize that when you tell Newman this is your guy like in the carolina game. Newman did that, but when we dont put pressure on newman and he continues to slide in and out of coverage when there is no accountability on players and coaches? Remember, barber still doesnt answer to his fumbles etc and last week he didnt say why he didnt get the TD at the goal line.
3rd. Several people have posted that the coaching staff wants the offensive linemen to block in zone blocking, but thats not their strength due to the immense size and girth of them. If you remember in the jerry jones interview yesterday, jerry jones said that the cowboys used 3 different schemes in finese blocking at the goal line when barber tried to get the TD. Jerry Jones said he might question the style that we used in run blocking. So, why does this team continue to try to make the big huge offensive linemen block a style that isnt suited to them?
4th and final; If you remember a couple of years ago, the team threw some long deep balls to miles austin. Yet, why have we not thrown deep balls to our wideouts? Is this team trying to not lose games, but not attack either? In other words take some chances with some big plays, trick plays, etc and open the game up and put the opposing teams away?
