I think this makes a good point but we're not exactly the big bullies we were when we beat them. Back then we ran a lot of two and three tightend formations and pounded them with great success. Since Swaim has gone down we haven't had nearly the same success with those formations. We'll be using one tightend , three receiver formations much more than that past game. We may still run all over them but it won't be in the same exact manner.

We been using a jumbo package with an extra OL lately, and it hasn't hurt the running game a t all.
They running game doesn't seem what it was then, because the last 3 games, well, 2 of them, Zeke was not hardly used, and one didn't even play.
We can still bully them in the run game.

I disagree. If I remember correctly, the numbers posted by Sturm show that without Swaim our multiple tight end formations have had little success, especially compared to earlier in the year. The 11 personal package has been our best formation since then. In the last Green Bay game it was the multiple tight end formations that killed Green Bay. Not sure we'll get the same success with an Olineman playing tight end. We'll see.

I do agree losing Swaim was huge. And also Hanna not being able to come back from his knee issue.
I am really surprised they did go with the extra OL as opposed to go getting another TE.

Ummmm............ not sure what you think has changed. It's still an article by a fan site that tends to be homeristic with the Cowboys. Fox links to team blogs all the time.

landry hat vs fox sports

One is clearly a fansite, one is a site that covers every team. "Neutrality" is a pretty arbitrary word nowadays. What article is written without bias towards anything? Time to look in the mirror my friend.

Props. I don't click on fan sites. Worthless to me.

Except you guys. My brothers.

I don't read the Landry Hat. My point is, there was nearly an identical article on a mainstream website.

Every author is inclusive to some bias tendencies, regardless of the website.

Please. The bias that may exist at a place like Fox Sports pales in comparison to the cheerleading you can read at any fan site. It's not even remotely comparable.

Collins is our new Tight end.

Look at the bottom of the article. It states the article originally appeared on a site called Fansided.

He may be a fan but it doesn't change the fact that he made good points and I actually agree with most of what he has to say.

I am clearly a homer but I don't think the Packers are a good enough team to beat Dallas. Rodgers is awesome, but Dallas did a very good job of covering their WRs last time they met, and that was without Mo and Scandrick.

The Giants defense covered them well til Cromartie went down, than the Packers got 2 easy TDs attacking his back up over the middle of the field. With Mo back that most likely puts Brown and Scandrick in the slot when they go to a dime defense with Jones available to cover the TE.

I like Fox News. Fair and Balanced.

If you like Fox News you will love One America News. Especially with this little hottie who's show is on at 9pm
