XWalker has the key to fixing the offense, the routes the WR's run are taking toooooo long to develop when we play a 3-4 team that blitzes. We need to take 3 step drops and throw the ball. It is how Aikman beat all those Philly blitzes for years. Romo holds on to the ball tooooo long waiting for something to happen. Remember when Parcells used to blow a horn after a set amount of seconds and Romo had to have the ball out? He doesn't do that anymore. We have the talent to beat the defense, we choose to do something that I really don't understand. We need quick slants and 3 step drops and bang. We have 5 step drops and run down the sideline routes. Escobar has a great build for running slants. Use the guy.

But again, if the coaches aren't giving him routes that complement his abilities, then he's being underutilized. Why pay a guy huge $ that's being underutilized?

If he does come back, then we'll see the same crap next year. 10 for 150 vs. Jacksonville, followed by 4 for 40 vs. San Fran.

Using your logic here, you should be advocating for changes in the coaching staff, not the WR corps?

 

[JoeKing]

Finally. Thank you.

My point is that this team will not benefit one bit by signing Dez long term. Not with Romo at QB.

Money needs to be spent elsewhere or we will see the same crap year after year. Beating the bad teams, but losing to the good teams.

You'll never convince the Romo worshipers that this is true.

Doesn't #88 lead all WR's in TD's the last 2 years?

Isn't #88 the emotional leader of the team?

I'd hate to see what our offense would look like without him.

Your right. Instead of scoring ten points in one of the biggest games of the year, they might only put up three.

I do advocate a coaching staff change. A complete overhaul IMO. But I know that it's not happening, so I'd rather see a killer D built with that money.

I guess it depends on which flavor of ice cream you like. Strong offense, strong defense, or decent both. The cap doesn't allow strong everything.

You pick one specific game and draw conclusions from that? Dez has scored the most TD's among all WR's the last 2 years. Yes I know I'm right.

Dez has, but what has his TD's gotten us? 8-8 last year, and who knows what happens the rest of this year.

This team needs a pass rush. Badly.

In my signature tag below...that's what you invest in. One side is done. Need to do the other. People closest to the ball at the LOS get paid. I have not seen enough "game changing" consistency in games that matter from Dez to pay him elite money.

 

[CATCH17]

Do you know how hard opposing teams are going to stack the box if we do release Bryant? Who in the hell is going to be a threat in the passing game outside of him? T wills? Witten? Come on, man! Give me a break! if you want to really break it down, he has a lot to do with the DeMarco's running success and Romos passing success, this year. Are his numbers where we anticipated? No! Dez does so much more just by being on the field. People on this forum are really quick to dismiss and let a player "walk ". I remember a few saying let Romo go and we'll find a replacement. What happened when Romo was out for a game and a half? Everybody went into panic mode and was praying for Romo to come back.

… Sometimes you have to pay players because production doesn't always show up on the stat sheet.

The only way i'd pay Dez is if we evolve the passing schemes. If we're just going to run him down field and not give him more catch and run routes then I don't want to pay the guy 14 million and he's my favorite player on the team besides Romo.

Thanks for noticing my previous ranting.

There was a 3rd and 3 in the Eagles game where Beasley did run a slant, but he was not the primary read. Romo took a deep drop (10 yards) and never looked at Beasley. The defense left Beasley uncovered and they guy that would be covering Beasley appeared to know that Romo would not throw it to him and instead dropped back to help cover Witten. He threw it towards Witten who was 13 yards down-field. With Romo's drop and Witten route it was 23 yards to try to get a 3rd and 3. I really don't get it. Beasley didn't just flash open, the was open for several seconds and would have had a lot of room to run.
