They also have not really been a whole unit all camp thanks to nicks and what not.

I hope it is that versus a regression because Callahan is gone.

Callahan is gone, and I think that is affecting the line play.
with romo gone weedon will have to prove he can throw the ball so teams wont load the box.
The williams td was a nice start.

I like our receivers/tight ends/catching RBs. Escobar needs to grow a pair. Williams needs to secure the ball and catch in traffic. Other than that, I like the group. Not spectacular, but above average.

Escobar is pretty much a lost cause as far as I am concerned. He's not tough, not a slick route runner, can't block, he's clumsy. Just an oaf with supposedly good hands.

I don't know if growing a pair will help that much.

One of the main reasons the ground and pound was so successful last year was because the defense had to respect our passing game. Without Romo and Dez opposing defenses will start stacking the box and it will be much more difficult.

Yeah, I saw where someone finally ran the numbers.

Even after Murray had run for several straight 100 yard games, the defense still feared the passing game more. Percentage-wise, they rarely loaded the bad.

That should make Weedens reads easier then.

Weeden will have to step up and make them pay if they stay in the box too much.
