I think Dallas pretty much ran the same as they have in other two games but big difference was Romo played his best game of year and there was no game changing turnover by offense. When I watch the running attack...its clear Dallas is better passing team with an effective "draw" play in running game...but on routine running plays...there is no push. This team is clearly built around Romo and as he goes...Dallas goes.

The big difference in my opinion was how physical we were, with a nasty streak, and the fact that Garret stuck with the run, stringing several runs together, even when a run didn't pick up much...you have to run it and set a tone.

I think they focused on the starter more than the stupid "3-headed monster"

I feel like we do get a good push when we commit to it. Barber had a good game. The running keeps the defense honest and play action was much more effective when we mixed it up. I feel like our passing game is at it's best when we go for the big plays to our big three wide outs and the running game sets that up better.
 
Felix still couldn't get touches.

Unforced errors.

Sketchy special teams.
 
Houston's pass defense is terrible, and we finally decided to attack it.

we ran 101 yards against them. That is nothing special.
 
Leonard Davis kills a lot of the running plays to his side, bit surprising that a guy his size can be such a terrible run blocker

Does it matter? Miles didn't get a lot of touches either. You must have Felix on your Fantasy team. Who cares who gets the work? A win is a win.
 
No there was a big difference from the first 2 weeks. Garrett did not go away from the run and overload with pass plays as he did the first 2 games.

Romo has had good games all 3 games, but I will agree the team goes as Romo goes, it is built around Romo.

Sometimes a running back has to make the line look good.

I'm just happy that Garrett finally realized that he can run slants all day long with these big receivers.
 
Difference was we ran straight ahead to start, no pulls, traps, counters, etc. which allowed our big, physical offensive linemen to get their hands on the man in front of them and whip them.

Also, once we had their secondary on their heels, we used the draw to keep them honest and then open up play action.

It was the kind of game plan many Garrett critics have been looking for - if we scheme like that every week within the confines of the defense, we'll be very hard to beat.

Dez is coming along awesome too. Anyone notice that the "pistol-finger" audible from Romo was the fly route to Dez?
 
I beleive that barber getting 17 carries and him wearing the defense counts for something too. Him and felix was effective when they needed to be. I still dont understand why they dont trust felix to try to run 20 times a game when before last year the titans thought they needed to run 2 backs with chris johnson but look what he did with a full load! Not saying jones can go for 2000 but he has a very similar skill set as chris johnson who carried the ball 32 times today against a physical giants team.....Congrats to the boys on a great win they have showed that they can rally and win in pressured situations.

I think romo showed that in the skins game where he marched us down and won but that idiot barron killed us. and now despite the world being against us i wanna hear what these idiot "experts" have to say

Jones averaged 6.1 YPC on 7 carries, and Barber gained positive yards and moved the clock.

More importantly, those rushing yards took pressure of Tony Romo.

Dallas came into this game with a record of 29-7 when Romo attempts 34 or less passes in game, by my calculations.

Now, they are 30-7.

Romo threw the ball 30 times.


 
We need to keep Romo under 36 pass attempts.

The formula is pretty simple.

Romo < 36 pass attempts

Run the ball > 25 times

Use shotgun about 25% of the time on first and 2nd down.

Today showed we don't have to be super effective running the ball and we can still use that running game to our advantage. But when we neglect the running game, it makes the opposing defense's life easier.

You keep citing all these meaningless stats.

Fact of the matter is we had 101 yards with 3.7 ypc. Nobody in their right mind should be satisfied with that.

It wasn't a coming out party on the ground but it was definitely a step in the right direction. Now... If only they could remove that delayed draw from the playbook... my blood pressure would level out.
