Romo is hobbled, our RB cant reasonably be asked to do more than he already is. Who needs to take their game to the next level right now?

Dez Bryant needs to catch every football thrown his way, ... anything within his reach. Get Beasley involved.

Get after the QB, make him very uncomfortable.

Well, if Romo doesn't play, Weeden is number one on the list of players who need to step up.

If Romo does play I expect it to sort of "revive" the offense a bit after last week's offensive let downs. If we get Leary back that'll help to. Overall I expect the offense on Sunday to look more like it did before the back to back losses,

I think the defense is still surpassing expectations, but I'd like to see my boy Brucie step up, as well as R McClain (he seems to have slowed down a bit recently). Everyone on the D line - stop "almost" getting sacks and finish the job!

I think we'll win regardless, though.

Carr, Lawrence and Randle.

Escobar getting more PT would also be nice.

the oline needs to blck well and protect well. the jags can get after the qb with the best in the league so the te's and beasley need to be ready for the hot reads. we just have to pound them till they wear down. they usually struggle late in games because they have no depth. keep pounding the rock and convert 3rd downs and keep the defence on the field all day

OT, but does anyone have a gif handy of the Romo vs Watt scramble? A jags fan just said that Romo "can't move in the pocket".

As for the topic, Mincey needs to step up vs his former team, especially with the talking he's been doing. Carr needs to stop being awful.

I'd like to see the coaches step it up. With smarter schemes and play calls, maximizing strengths while minimizing weaknesses.

They received plenty of praise en route to a 6-1 start and deserve blame for this current 6-3 record.

I don't think they've done as well in helping the players fulfill their potential.

The entire o-line, WRs, Church, Carr, Carter, and of course, Weeden.

DeMarcus Lawrence. Anthony Spencer. The special teams field goal protection.

This. I think Romo will bring the whole team up if he's able to move. But he needs the cleanest jersey on the field.

The defense seemed to be "good enough" in the two losses and even scored against AZ.

The offense seems to have been the letdown. We can't really blame the Skins game on Weeden. Something was off with the offense in the Skins game and it just got worse in AZ with Weeden.

The Special Teams have not really been a plus either.
