Steele is doing that a lot. Do we not have another player that can play better than him on this team or is it another case of JJ paid him and wants him on the field. Clearly his knee is not ready.. Before the injury he makes these blocks.
Is that before or after he runs out of bounds!!?
I'm not sure that he whiffed on that play, it's just a 5 blockers vs 6 in the box. He had to redirect the DE and get to the LB to block both players. Honestly the ball probably just shouldn't have been snapped IMO
Ojulari made the tackle, when you only need a foot the second level isn't the priority.
I sure hope so!
That's a fair argument and when you watch the play back it's clear that the LB is unlikely to be in position to make the play. With that said though Steele doesn't know that at the time, and if Pollard doesn't throw in the little juke move back inside Ojulari probably can't get all the way down in the A gap in time to disrupt the play. Doubt it happens but i would love to hear how the Cowboys coaches would break down the responsibility there.
We were having a hard time moving the ball in the red zone so I respectfully disagree.
You should never ever kick a FG from the 2-yard line (insert disclaimer about obvious late-game situations). Against a bad team, even if you don't make it you're making them go 98 yards. Against a good team, you need to score as many points as possible...and if you don't make it, make them drive 98 yards. I don't believe for a minute that MM would kick the FG there against any team.
Totally agree. The problem is Biadasz is getting stood up and pushed back. Even Greg Olsen noticed and said the same thing.
Doesn't matter. Worst case scenario is what happened: the Giants are pinned back and end up giving you the ball in great field position. It's worth risking that downside to go for 7 points.
I very much doubt Jerry decides who gets the ball on any individual play. He may tell MM he wants a certain player more involved, but that's about it, if he even does that, IMO.
I mean, Steele should know that they're on the half yardline lol. He's probably guessing that the read option holds the DE.
Elliott played well yesterday. He had at least three runs (one around 17 yds) that got called back because of penalties.
He does. I am not saying JJ calls down between plays and tells MM what to do. OMG could you imagine if it was that bad. Lol. But it’s very clear that he gets involved in game plans. They are ran by him. And we clearly see when you get Dowdle going and run Pollard behind it works. That drive in egirls game they get Dowdle going and mix Pollard in and we have great results. Only egirls game the penalties ruined the whole drive. Actually the game. When you have a owner that’s forcing a player to start the game them who is gonna get the ball..
