blueblood70.....Hindsight is always right, it's 20/20......right? Hurts was injured or having a bad streak.... like Dak, and like Romo before......we've seen QBs hit a slump too. Frankly, their secondary was terrible last year, a little bit better this year. They are certainly in the hunt again.......we ain't.
Say what you want about Tony Pollard.....he is certainly better than what we have now. If you want to jump on the Rico Dowdle bandwagon, fine....he's better of the group we have now. Good grief about the Pollard/Dowdle comparison and I mean good grief.
I'm with you on the coaching staff, but then we think Dak is supposed to overcome everything simply because he got paid. Please tell me about the Fake Punt (when the game was still in reach) and the putrid 4th down calls in Atlanta last week. Can't argue that.
As for the running game......sometimes the yards per carry hides more than it reveals. Yard attempts help keep a defense a bit honest.....LBs get frozen, safeties move up, coverages change. But we have an OL problem too. I bet yard attempts increase THIS WEEK. But then again, we get behind fast, so ball control is going to be a key.
We've seen Big Mike having Dak sling passes on opening series and frequently.....compounded by bad routes, very little separation, poor blocking, and poor effort routes (Ask Aikman). Short passing game was working for a moment last week, but we always expect Dak to be PERFECT & FLAWLESS more often than not. Now we need Big Mike to protect Cooper Rush. All the hype about Cooper isn't his fault, it's many on this board.
