The Faux Hurry Up

Can we just use that as our offensive gameplan for the next few weeks?

That last drive was the best our offense has looked in the past 2 weeks.

What have we got to lose?

I don't think it was the hurry up, I think it was the spread formation. We tried to go hurry up, or at least no huddle, earlier in the game. We were still snapping the ball with maybe 7 seconds to go on the play clock. We were not huddling, but it didn't hurry things up too much and Weeden didn't have any better success. Once we spread it out with an empty backfield Weeden seemed to find guys more readily.

We are better off trying to spike Weedens Gatorade with something to give him courage and pep in his step...

Or...

Somebody can brew him some Green Tea....

Weeden is more successful in the shotgun, as he was a very good QB in that spread offense in OKS, gotta give bins his comfort zone.

The fans that are still making excuses for Weeden are the only think about the Cowboys that are failing more than the players. Let's see what Cassell can do.

What has Cassell done since 2010?

It'd be one thing if Weeden was costing us game with interceptions, but he's not. Nobody on this team can get open except Witten and the OL has been trash in the run game all year. You rely on a backup QB to have to win games for you then you probably will lose.

So the receivers don't get open for only Weeden but are open for Romo? Yeah, that must be it. Weeden doesn't bring us wins. Next!

I'd be fine going with 5 wide out of the shotgun more often. Even when we run, do it from a spread formation. If that's what it takes to make Weeden comfortable, do it.

Yeap I don't like running from the spread but like you said if that's what it takes do it.

Have to agree, he looked better when we went 5 wide yesterday, just did not do it enough.

Hope we do it more this Sunday keep the defense guessing, cause if they see under center they'll guess it's a run or play action.

Right. Play to our players strength. Help them out
