First off everyone seems to be throwing bulls eyes at people who shouldn't be receiving blame.
We are 5-5 for the following reasons:
-Ratliff situation
-Anthony Spencer situation
-Hatcher being injured
-Ware being injured
-The entire Dline has been ravaged from the get go. If the starting unit was fully on the field, I believe this defense is top 15 easily. Props to Marinelli for the roster churning. Hard to turn water into wine, but Marinelli has turned water into Kool Aid.
-Injuries as a whole.
-The Defense has been plagued with injuries and having to fill with too many inexperienced players. I cannot get mad at Jeff Heath, or the Dline when coming into play when they don't have the experience to play at the expected level of the starters.
-LEADS ME TO REGRESSION OF CURRENT PLAYERS: AKA BRUCE CARTER. Where are you Bruce? You just don't seem interested in making plays. Tonight he looked lethargic. Uninterested. Ernie Sims at least has fire in him.
-Barry Church is SOLID. He isn't great, but he makes some sure tackles. He is well rounded, but not a world beater. I would prefer him almost as a WLB in the 4-3 regardless of his size.
-Mo Claiborne taking our 6th draft pick and being injured has hurt. B.W Webb isn't the answer in my opinion. Maybe the kid can improve but i do not like Webb's game.
-Predictable offensive playcalling: Vanilla style offense! We come into a game with a certain gameplay and do NOT deviate from it much throughout the game. We do not adapt well.
-We cannot utilize Dez if he is doubled. Why can't we move him in coverage? Why can't we put him in motion? I liked where they switched Dez and Cole, leading to the 44 yarder for Dez. We NEED to get DEZ in different positions. It just isn't right to not get creative with using our best weapon.
-Inconsistency on the offensive side. Penalties, and untimely drops. It seems like Romo has been given a rifle that when it fires it is dangerous, but half the time it never shoots. I feel that our offense is faulty in the aspect we cannot get it going due to dumb mistakes.
-Checkdowns to Witten in situations Romo could scramble. Younger Romo would scramble for a first, making him dangerous. More mature Romo dumps it off.
-Lack of variety in the playcalling, no screens, players in motion hurt us.
-Running gameplan was great, but seriously. Let us put Hannah and Escobar on the field? We did not put our best players on the field. It was great running the ball what did you expect when our defense is wrecked? Teams often run the ball when they have a solid defense. This was going to be a shootout regardless of the situation and our WR never got into a groove.
I don't blame Romo, Ware, Witten, or Jerry Jones.
Romo is a great QB. He has never had a legit defense, or a great HC. He has been surrounded by mediocrity. Ware puts in a great effort whenever he is on the field. The man plays harder than anyone even when hurt. For goodness sake, he was our best rusher and had one leg!
Witten is solid. He is not over athletic but he is a HOF caliber tight end.
I don't blame this on JJ. JJ has done alot that he could to put Dallas in the positions that we have been in, we just haven't been lucky.
JJ brought in Parcells and contributed to a great core of players. We were in position to win the division numerous times but coaching and injuries have always been our bane. JJ has been able to lure players in who we thought all would be major contributors. It is hard to predict busts, etc. It is hard to tell when a player will cash in and stop playing with intensity.
-Romo's fumble in SEA? Crayton's drop against G-Men? Austin not seeing the lights against Gmen? Getting pummeled against Minn in the playoffs? How about against WAS last year when our entire team was hurt? These aren't JJ mistakes. We could easily be praising the man if a few of these horrible mishaps went our way.
I do condemn JJ for letting Ryan go. I was a big Rob Ryan fan though.
P.S I think Murray is a great RB, and Lee a great LB. These players often get injured because they play with passion and intensity. It is their playstyle that gives their bodies up. Unfortunately.
Alright come quote me and tear me to shreds. Pull a Brees on me and pick me apart.
