State of the Cowboys: What the 2009 Film Revealed

By ANDY BENOIT
Offense
Dallas evolved into a run-oriented offense in 2009. That made sense, given the threesome of Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice. When healthy, Barber was his usual tenacious self. Jones, also when healthy, looked like Chris Johnson of the N.F.C. Speed and acceleration, along with stunning lateral agility, allowed him to create space. Choice was essentially a watered down version of Jones. But the ballcarriers weren’t the sole reason for Dallas’s run-first approach. Tight ends Jason Witten, Martellus Bennett and John Phillips were stellar blockers, and fullback Deon Anderson was effective behind an unathletic but powerful offensive line. In the passing game, Tony Romo had his best season, but mediocre vision and fundamentals still limited him to a sandlot style. Miles Austin’s numbers accurately portrayed his performance. Unfortunately, so did Roy

Williams’s.

This seriously is the dumbest article I've ever read from a major news source. We are a running offense? We passed more than 60% of the time. Phillips was a great blocker? Romo has mediocre vision and fundamentals? SERIOUSLY? The guy only broke franchise records for completions and yards with 4500 and threw for 70% completions in December. I thought maybe the columnist was just mentally challenged, then I saw it was a New York Times article.

I saw this earlier and almost posted it. Then I read it closer and even I couldn't post that crud.

lol Yeah I thought it was so bad that it had to be shared.

 

[theebs]

there you go.

New York players are obsessed with the cowboys, their front office always ha snide comments about the cowboys and their media in that city is downright awful when it comes to Dallas.

Simply put, ny is obsessed with Dallas and they always speak negatively about Dallas.

 

[Gzus]

WOW guy must have been watching some weird version of the Boys..... He probably wrote the Giants were a pass happy offense with a dominating defense that was only one or two players away from the SB.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Just to clear it up even when Healthy Felix Jones doesn't look like the CJ of the NFC.

 

[DallasEast]

Just to clear it up even when Healthy Felix Jones doesn't look like the CJ of the NFC.

Now, be truthful CowboysZone:

Did you or did you not see that particular response coming from miles away?

Phillips was a great blocker, and I mostly agree with the part about the offensive line.

 

[28 Joker]

I read the New York Times,

Ummm.

NOT!

 

[dallascowboyfanboy]

Nobody reads the NY Times for the sports reporting/writing! Those living in NYC read NYPost or even the NY Daily News for sports fix.

 

[burmafrd]

NY Times is a rag in all departments.

Miles, or nautical miles? :

I almost posted it for him just in case he could not make it to the thread in time.


yeah, I saw it coming:laugh2:

 

[SDogo]

Miles, or nautical miles? :

air miles

 

[RCowboyFan]

I guess NY times never fails. They are wrong no matter what they write about

 

[Cover 2]

I completely agree with this article. Tony Roma is a bum. The Cowboys will win nothing with him at quarterback. The Cowboys only hope is that Fletcher-Bennett can get a good pass rush going since Ware is better as a situational pass-rusher.

Nope. Have a select few of that type of brain-trust blocked from view.

Wow! How could he have left out the part where he tells us that Eli Manning is the best QB ever to play in the NFC East? Must be lazy Journalsim.
