Witten down? Why, because the screen pass haha

 

[big dog cowboy]

Down: TWill and Free. My gosh. No explaination needed just look at the tape.

 

[CATCH17]

I'll give Carr an up.. Made a play.. Never stood out as a weakness..

The defense was an embarrassment today... They can Hyde behind points allowed but this is why we watch the game and not the numbers. That defense fails the eyeball test miserably.

 

[CATCH17]

Down: TWill and Free. My gosh. No explaination needed just look at the tape.

I've been predicting that offensive tackle was soon to be a position of need on this team.

Free was awful today. He can't handle a bull rush.

Agree on the UP
On the DOWN, wouldn't say Witten on his overall play, other than being slow, but that is more on the coaches and play calling.
Crawford, not real sure either. He should have done better yes, but to me I wouldn't put him on the list, not yet.
Williams is more DOWN AND OUT....LOL.....

I know some will put Zeke on the down list, but I think he is more on an even line right now. As was it the NY D doing a great job, as well as the Dallas OL not doing a good job. Zeke needs to be more patient.

I don't think Hitchens is a starting MLB. That's a problem spot. He's not good at getting off of blocks or taking the right angle to get to the ball. He's probably a solid 4th LB who's versatile enough to play multiple spots but if he's out there for 50 plays a game, that's trouble.

We just have too many JAG's in the front 7 outside of Lee and maybe Lawrence when gets back. Not sure on T. Crawford yet.

Witten and Beasley can move the chains but defenses aren't scared of them. They can catch all the balls they want but it's going to be for 7 or 8 yards a pop. You have to make chunk plays to score points in this league. We had 1 play over 20 yards today and that was to Swaim of all people. That's not going to cut it.

Witten is an issue because Dallas has NO ONE to stretch the deep middle of the field.

Teams are doubling the outside WRs and living with the 6 to 10 yard passes that Witten is going to get. JG refuses to use any one with speed in the slot as well.

I dont get why we never see Butler and Williams on the outside with Dez in the slot or whatever. Especially on 2nd or 3rd and long. You see other teams like the Falcons and Bengals do it with their stud WR.

I'll say that Brown looked good in the few snaps he had to take when O'Scan came out. That TD pass to Sheppard was a clutch catch (reminiscent of Dez's catch in OT against the Texans). Brown was in perfect coverage and even split the hands...can't do much better than that. He's a keeper.

I'm down on Marinelli. I understand the "rush men" concept, but on 3rd and short, they were blindly running up field (no read and react), allowing the interior O-line to wedge a wide open gap time and time again for a gouging run. Sometimes it's "ok" to anchor your DT's?

I still wish we'd taken Andrew Billings as a 2-down 1-DT.

Down:

Down
Garrett and the play calling.
Not getting help for Free, thinking he can do it on his own.
Dunbar and that bad block
Witten is not down he needs to be adjusted by the coaches, he doesnt need to start he doesnt need to be the main TE especually if Dak is comfortablw wtih someone else.

Beasley played very well today. He was all over the place. A few frustrating times when he could've gotten the first but tried to get cute. Dak overthrew him a bunch. He is short.

Witten played well too. He does what Witten does. Gets first downs. Was one of Dak's most consistent targets.

Dez just kept trying to go long and beat his man for the TD with a jump ball. Dak's passes weren't perfect, but Dez needs to adds some facets to his game and stop relying solely on the jump ball.

Elliott was confusing. Looked pretty awful. I caught a few very impressive blitz pickups, but overall his running was terrible. I would say it's because the defense wasn't afraid of Dak's arm, but then why did Morris consistently run well?

O-line was frustrating. Too many false starts and holdings. I think everyone on the line committed at least one penalty. Hard to tell if the run blocking was awful or if it was Elliott. Pass blocking was okay.

Dak started off hot but then did nothing. Finished with a mediocre completion percentage after completing everything early on. None of his deep balls were connecting. Most of his passes were short to Beasley and Witten. Didn't cause any turnovers but started throwing a lot of sloppy passes later in the game that could've been picked off.

Defense looked pretty bad. They were getting destroyed with the deep pass like they've been for years. Didn't see much difference between Jones and when we used to have Wilcox back there. Claiborne made some plays. Carr got a gift INT. Kept seeing McClain in on plays. Not much from T. Craw or the DEs. Only LB I saw in on plays was Lee. Defense gave up long, fast scoring drives in the 1st half despite being out-clocked 5 to 1. Then they got destroyed by the run later in the game to wind down the clock and blow any chance of coming back.

Overall, pretty typical performance by a pretty typical team. Didn't really see much change between today and previous years. I guess Elliott had one of the worst performances I've seen from one of our RBs in a long time. Other than that, business as usual.

He was pretty awful at run blocking.

 

[Sydla]

Dak was neither up or down.

 

[RS12]

Free was awful today. He can't handle a bull rush.

He couldnt handle JPP period. Ran around him like a traffic cone a few times.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

He was pretty awful at run blocking.

So was the entire OL

 

[perrykemp]

Anybody else still anxiously awaiting the game where Byron Jones turns all that athleticism into splash plays on defense?
