The running game is not what it was last year, as I told it wouldnt be. You said it wouldnt matter.

We had 3 turnovers the first game and Romo got killed the 2nd game and is out for 10 games. All things I told you might happen with more passing. I was 100% proven right and you have been 100% proven wrong. The evidence is right there before your eyes. Deny it all you want or hide behind our hapless 0-2 record. If it wasnt for our defense, this team would be in shambles and probably 0-2. The offense has been a disaster. I think we are last in the league or close to it on 3rd down and distance to go. But who cares right?

The running game has not been the same as it was last year. I never said it would be, and never thought for a moment that it would be. I said it didn't matter, and it hasn't. Look at time of possession. Look at the yardage we've accumulated. The issues the first two weeks have been penalties and with balls getting stripped from receivers. These are not things associated with limitations in the running game. We've also won both games.

It's almost as if you don't know what the word 100% means. And Romo's injury had nothing to do with the running game whatsoever. The offense has not been a disaster. Stop pointing to the Romo injury and trying to pretend that I said he wasn't going to get injured, and stop just plain drawing conclusions about it that are completely unrelated to what actually happened on the play.

And you really need to start caring more about cause and effect if you expect to get people to engage with you in actual discussions. This throwing out a statement you're too lazy to double-check and then drawing the wrong conclusion from it and then pretending the people you're debating have said things they didn't actually say makes things too difficult to discuss topics with you. Do I attack the lazy statistic? Do I attack the wrong conclusion? Or to I address the pretend argument you're trying to put in my mouth? The right answer is 'none of those,' because you are only going to come back with a similar trifecta of uncareful nonsense if I bother to reply. It makes actual discussion pointless.

It is definitely pointless for you to have a discussion with me if your going to act like Garrett is a great coach and deserves the credit. 100% a complete waste of time. And you can certainly get plenty of blind homers on here that will agree with you.

Let me just ask you a simple question:

If the defense is a top 5 unit and the offense struggles with the loss of Dez, Romo, and our paltry stable of backs then who are you going to give credit to if we still make the playoffs?

And my conclusions are wrong why? Because you say so? Give me a break.

I have dead been on about Garrett since the day he got here. Nothing special about Garrett. Nothing special at all.

I have even asked you to tell what is so special about him and you cant.

Ill ask again...............What does Garrett do well?

Waiting...................................

DL snap counts first two games:

102 Lawrence
90 Crawford
79 Mincey
76 Hayden
65 J. Crawford
45 McClain
19 Gregory
15 Coleman

Hayden is getting fewer snaps than previous years because we've barely been in the base. I see McClain's snaps going to Bishop and Coleman. I see Lawrence's and J. Crawford's going down some when Hardy and Gregory return, especially J. Crawford's because he's been playing a lot of DE as well as DT.

They were probably going to cut m when Hardy and McClain came back. This way he gets his money without a fight and DAL keeps him for next year if they want him at 1m. Probably not a season ending injury, but you never know with the toe.

A toe injury ended Deion's tenure with the Cowboys.

Rod Marinelli and Will McClay.

The same answer no matter what formula leads to the playoffs.
