Let's start with the good.
- Small sample size, but Awuzie looked very good. Hope his hammy isn't something that dogs him for his career.
- Hitchens had a really nice game. He's a guy you have to bring back next year for special teams and the fact he's a very good LB to have who can fill in multiple roles, etc. Although that doesn't mean I still don't draft or sign LBs to upgrade the position.
- That's a depleted DL, but the OL played a pretty complete game after some early issues. Really wore down the Skins front.
- If Jones isn't going to make plays at S, then yeah, maybe Frazier starting makes sense. Frazier can at least tackle. I thought he played a great game.
The bad.
- Jones is just not a good S. His tackling is atrocious at times. If I have to watch him try to tackle a guy buy his shoulder pads I might lose it.
- Dak still had some struggles, especially early. But he seemed to get better as the game went on and was down to only 8 workable knuckles.
- Playcalling is still suspect. A perfect example of that was a play Sturm and others pointed out. It was a key third and three and the Skins went full man and loaded the LOS and there was no defenders in the middle. Cowboys ran a play where all the receivers basically worked routes OUTSIDE the hashes. There wasn't anyone in the middle. Now maybe that's Prescott's fault for not changing plays or maybe it's a WR fault for not making a line adjustment or maybe it's just bad coaching. I don't know. But those are situations you see the really good teams exploit and we just seemingly can't take advantage of situations like that.
- I've always been a decent Scandrick fan but I think I've seen enough. It might be time for some more turnover in the secondary this offseason, starting with Scandrick (although I don't think we save a ton on the cap by dumping him).
Nice win but it doesn't change my mind on Garrett and this staff. Even somehow squeaking into the playoffs wouldn't change my mind. Basically, he needs to do one of two things IMO to get me to think he deserves he 2019 season.......... win the NFC or at the very least get into the playoffs and knock Philly out.
