I like Romo, but I'm not sure if we win a game before his return.
Yes, yes we will.
Cassel will be able to win at least a couple of ball games.
He'll give the offense a spark. He'll at the very least hit open recievers, take some chances, and not take drive killing sacks.
The defense will get another spark with the return of Randy Gregory. With Gregory and Hardy on the field together we'll be able to use our NASCAR package along with Crawford and Lawrence. We will begin to smother teams with a fiersome and relentless pass rush. Marinelli will be all over these guys and they will make the adjustments on pick plays. With more Corey White along with Mo having a pretty good season and even Carr when gets his hands on someone I think we'll be able to take away quick throws and make teams hold the ball longer.
Dez Bryant will be back and give Cassel a legitimate number one reciever. Butler will be back and the two together will both be able to stretch the field. Terrance can play more in the slot and we'll spread the field more with four wide sets. T-Will will excel in the slot because he won't have those physical press corners mugging him at the line of scrimmage. All this will free up the run game. With two deep threats teams will have to play more Cover 2 and that will lighten the box. More one on ones for Witten and Beasley.
I also believe Christine Michael is itching for this opportunity. I think we'll be more athletic and powerful up front just by starting La'El Collins. Randle can go back to a change of pace role and he won't wear down with more carries. We'll have the bruiser back in Michael who won't hesitate as much and then the explosive take it to the house back. They can just waive McFadden.
Cowboys are still in this thing. The Giants ain't all that. They've benefitted more than anyone else really from our injuries. We've never really been able to get a lot of pressure on Eli, but that will change. We're gonna be explosive, quick, powerful, and straight up mean up front. The days of our defensive line getting pushed around are over. McClain also gives us some toughness at middle backer. Hitchens can go back to being Sam and him and Lee can fly to the football and let McClain take on blockers. Something he is adept at.
Turnovers will come. With such a dynamic pass rush it's only a matter of time. Balls have literally been right in players hands. Just gotta catch them. I'm sure that's been a continued emphasis with Rod. We're due for a big game in regards to forcing turnovers. Combined that with getting Dez back soon I think we'll go on a run.
I believe what Tony said and I believe he also knew Weeden was gonna get benched because we just didn't have a legit chance with him. Cassel at least gives us a chance. He's not gonna be a hero or savior, but can he manage and run an NFL offense something we know Weeden can't do? Absolutely he can.
