Terance Steele vs the Eagles (prepare yourself)

After watching this video and other breakdowns it's almost laughable. In that laughable crying laugh...

1) Zero adjustments from the coaching staff. You notice he's struggling but fail to give him help or design plays catered to get the ball out to the blitzing side.

2) Other breakdown videos like this the RB's are getting met at the los or hit in the backfield on what seems to be the vast majority of plays. Doesn't matter of we had Henry or CMC when they getting blown up at Los

3) Even with the injuries last year we still fielded a top 10 OL. Even with the make shift line to start the season the running game did fine the first couple of games besides the jets game. Whatever happend after the niners game the OL has looked putrid. Honestly I would start pointing fingers at Solari.

Steele's injury has been greatly underestimated. The "before" and "after" is glaring. It's become obvious that either the injury has permanently damaged his abilities or he is still in a healing process and just wasn't ready to compete.

and we all thought Zeke didn't have a valid roll on this team the last couple of years...yep, I said it

This is an excellent analysis and perfectly describes the problem Terence had against the Eagles. I am pretty sure he has had this all year and I also suspect the Eagles saw it on video and planned to attack him as they did.

But I still think it could be his injury. He is using his outside arm because he cannot get outside quick enough. He over commits to the outside and then they beat him inside. It is easy to say he just needs to get his inside arm up and into the rusher but if the rusher is quicker to the left than Terence it is impossible for him to get his inside arm into the rusher.

I posted a video yesterday aof Zeke highlight but there is one TD run against the Eagles where Ternce blocks Fletcher Cox out of the hole and move him at least 4 yards out of the play. Fletcher Cox does not get shoved around like that much, but Steele abused him. That is what is missing from teh Cowboys running game. Remember, when you have a knee injury, you can;t use it for months. Muscle atrophies and strength is lost. That needs to be rebuilt through therapy and exercise. Terence may just need more time to rehab the muscles in his leg so he can push and move like he did before.

He's just not responsively natural all the time now. He has to invest more in technique and focus upon his head's up opponent. He has to become more focused and immediately reacting to opponents. Confidence while executing his job.

And thus its even more an indictment of the coaching staff and front office for blowing this call. Paying him and not preparing for him to NOT BE READY

And he clearly is not 100% back and frankly a fair amount under that.

Coaches are fine...

I don't care who they get. GET SOMEBODY. Replace Steele right now. He was solid last year but whether it's confidence, technique or injury, he's an absolute liability out there now. A single player CANNOT cause 20+ offense snaps to fail. How in the hell can McCarthy just sit on his butt and not bench Steele. Don't say they don't have anyone better. Personally, I don't think they have anyone WORSE.

His hand placement and anchoring is suspect , makes you wonder his injury was leg related or head related, LOL,

his initial push is fine meaning he is not slowed by injury but mentally he is not there .

His lateral movement is much less; that is the problem. His agility is bad; that has to be the injury.

This is what I was seeing in the video.

As I stated yesterday he tore his ACL and MCL December 11th. It’s a miracle he’s even out there. It’s take Gallup and OBJ and others forever to come back

We need Edoga or Richards out there, Steele is an absolute liability now, the other guys really can’t be worse.

Was it a miracle or poor decision making?

I agree that it was a very short period of time to fully recover from that type of injury. Surely the Cowboys management realized that as well. What was their contingency plan during the preseason if he wasn't going to be ready? How miraculous is his recovery if he is not even recovered?

Did Jerry Jones insist on getting his money's worth and pressured Steele and the doctors to sign off on his injury? Is it even a matter of policy for Jones?

Pollard, Steele, Michael Gallup, and Donovan Wilson.........all players that were recovering from serious injuries, all players that have been deemed recovered and ready to play, all players struggling since they came back. I don't recall a Cowboys season where I observed this with such frequency.

On why we couldn't score from the 6-yard line and finally win a big one!!!
