Cowboy fans, you deserve to be excited after what you witnessed Sunday. That was the most complete game the team has played since they beat the Buffalo Bills 44-7 in week 10 of the 2011 season. But as a coach or scout, you are taught to look for the areas that still need improvement instead of always focusing on what went right. A good doctor doesn’t tell his patient what’s right with them when they visit, but explains to the patient the problem that needs to be corrected and how to do so. That’s what the point of this article will be today. Here is a few things I noticed when watching the game that still need to be improved.

First and foremost, the offensive line was terrific in the run game. The team rushed for 193 yards and opened holes all day long. The same can’t be said about the unit in the passing game. Tony Romo dropped back to throw only 27 times Sunday, yet he was sacked once and hit and hurried numerous times throughout the day. Pro Football Focus.com agreed with my observation as Tyron Smith, Ronald Leary and Travis Frederick all graded out with negative grades according to the site. The Cowboys best offensive lineman so far this season has been Doug Free and yet, he still had a considerably worse game then he had last week. Too many times there were missed assignments and Romo had to deliver the ball quicker than usual. Luckily for Dallas, their receivers were getting open quick so Romo could release the ball without taking sacks

Don't you know its considered uncouth to criticize the team after a win?

Seriously, is Hanna about to flame out?

James Hanna was again frustrating to me on Sunday just as he has been in the first two games of the season. Hanna only has four catches for 20 yards in 3 games. After his performance late last season, I was led to believe that he was poised for a breakout season.
I read all the off season stuff (didn't we all?) and I don't ever remember reading anything about Hanna being poised for a breakout season.
