The not so obvious most obvious problem on the O

[CanuckCowboysFan]

We haven't taken ONE shot down field, (throw of 40 or more yards) ALL season.

Romo has the arm strength. I remember him hitting Owens in stride a couple years back for a 70 yarder.

We have two SICK deep threats in Austin and Dez.

I'm sure if we take 3-4 shots downfield in the course of a game, one or two are bound to be completions. This would really help us put points on the board.

Yeah, Norm was talking about this in the post-game show. It's like we're afraid to throw further than 15 yards down field.

It is pretty hard to take shots against a tampa 2 d. That is the design of the tampa 2. If you noticed there was safety always there to assist in making a tackle when our recievers caught the ball.

We run the shotgun more than any team in the league and throw past 20 yards the fewest I bet.

Play action.

Yep. I mentioned that this week and was laughed at, I even put 50$ on it. Still going strong.

Yes. For sure. It's brutal...Garrett needs to get a grip man.

Imagine Austins stats after catching a bomb a game.

How many quick come back routes to Austin run today? Where is the double move and shot down the field?

My only thought teams are taking away the big play and forcing this team to make long drives knowing that it is only a matter of time before they do something stupid and shoot themselves in the foot.

I mentioned this in an earlier thread...but it seems Tony is just too scared to make a bad throw and throw an interception.

We haven't taken any shots, and he only throws to players that are wide open, rather than trusting his receivers to make a play on a ball.

I dont know. Something is just off with this offense.

Play action.

JG: "What is this thing you call Play Action?"

"You fake a run play which freezes the safeties and then you pass from it"

JG: "What is this thing you call Run play?"

I thought you would say they are poorly coached and thus stupid.

Interesting observation. We cant have a scared Romo out there.

That's exactly what teams are doing.

 

[locked&loaded]

Romo cannot throw 70 yards for starters.

Exactly. All it takes is a simple double move and Austin is gone. Especially cause hes so quick out of his breaks, corners would bite instantly. Last time he did that was in Philly for a 50 yarder, and that turned out pretty well. Im pretty sure that was the last time we took a shot down field period.

 

[diehard2294]

how about the fact we ran the ball "what 3 times in the second half

 

[30yrheel]

is it ok with you guys to be concerned now?

 

[CanuckCowboysFan]

Probably not. Thats not the point.

 

[Bluestang]

Maybe we don't take shots downfield because the Oline doesn't hold up on a seven step drop.

Throw out of the shotgun more...
