Run the Ball! Mega hot thread merge

[brymatt94]

42 pass attempts for Romo! Only 13 runs. If we run the ball, the defense isn't so inclined to blitz every down. The second to last offensive drive the cowboys had with about 6 minutes left, involved absolutely no runs. The biggest pass went to Murray! Balance was the killer in this game, it needs to improve.

Murray 12-25. The there is the reason our offense goes nowhere and we don't commit to the run game.

We could go 25-50 and guess what, we'd lose that game too.

Yes you have to have keep the defense honest. I don't know if Romo changed the plays or if the plays were actually called by Callahan but it was a poor game plan offensively for sure.

 

[Jerruh]

Agreed. This coaching staff falls in live with the pass far too easily. Balance isn't the priority that it should be. Unreal

 

[ANTHONYSCOTT]

What the hell happen to the running game? We pass on every play so much its not a surprise to these teams we are playing. The D cant bail us out every game. Is the Red Headed Genius still calling the plays cause it sure looks like it!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Wit who we need a RB so bad

 

[Bizwah]

Biggest issue I had was the first and goal inside the five. We try to pass....Romo is sacked, we kick a fg

 

[Doomsday]

It was replace with 2 yard passes to slow white guys who get no separation.

Murray is not a good running back. Terrell Davis is absolutely spot on about him as a back he has no Vision at all. If Dunbar wasn't a fumblerer he would be a better option

 

[DCBoysfan]

I think Romo audibled to those passing plays, I can't believe that Calihan called that many passes.

 

[MathewSK81]

We haven't had one since 2002

Yeah I have heard that argument before and now I'm starting to believe it

 

[Idgit]

sigh.

We did today for this reason. Can't rely on passing the ball all game long. Running the ball 16 times as a team for a 2.3 yrd. avg. is pathetic. Once the Chiefs realized that we weren't committed to the run, they rushed 5 or more every pass play and put too much pressure on Romo. This was not a good offensive game plan by the coaches.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

That's what happens when you insist on going to 12 personnel and your other TE's not named Witten can't block to save their life. It's also what happens when you have the most embarrassing hot read options I've watched in football. Just stack the box and blitz them.

It wasn't in the offensive game plan. Because it wasn't, we lost.

100 correct--thank you!

 

[TheCowboy]

DeMarco needs to step it up and the O-Line needs to step up their run blocking skills. Pass blocking is a whole nother story

 

[noshame]

murray is not suited for this offense, he looks like a fish out of water. Need to make a change.

 

[SlwSVT]

I think we passed the ball 15-20 times in a row down the stretch. That is crazy.
