Word of Muth: Dallas Dominates

[plasticman]

So by his logic, it's okay to throw INT's at critical stages of the game so long as there was the attempt to make a play downfield?

Those INT's turned into 10 Giant points. What was their margin of victory?

Seven deep passes thrown and two of them are intercepted. Those two negate whatever the previous five did.

It's sickening how this season is likely ruined because of an untimely concurrence of the Romo/Dez injuries and the defensive suspensions. If these things had not happened at the same time I'm certain we would have won at least two of the last 4 games.

On a side note,,, Callahan must have secretly visited the Cowboys last week and helped coach up the OL because our coaches are incompetent. (?)

Pay them under the table.

"Even though the Cowboys lost their fourth straight game this past Sunday, I thought there was reason for some optimism for Dallas' offense. Yes, Matt Cassel threw three picks, but a couple of them were down the field, which means he was at least looking that way, which is an improvement over what they got from Brandon Weeden. I also thought their offensive line played their best game of the year. The pass protection was great and the run blocking was almost as good. We're going to focus on the run blocking this week just because good run blocking is generally more entertaining than good pass blocking. We got a lot of GIFs this week, so let's get right to it."

Good write-up. I especially like the part about Collins.

Muth clearly has some knowledge and makes some good points but he also says some things that are odd.

In the 1st Gif the critical blocking was by Collins whete he has to slow the initial defender enough for Tyron to get to him and then he has to get over to the far side of the LB. Many OGs can't make that block sequence, at least not consistently. WHO cares if he fell after making the block.

He says the key blocks are Fred and Martin but Martin has a simple straight forward block. Fred's reach block is not trivial but one that on the level of difficultly of Collins' block.

Haha. He just pops him with one hand and just totally knocks him off his feet. It's awesome so I went ahead and put it on imgur so I could just link it here:

#93 got a free run at Cassel though.

 

[waving monkey]

By the time all the contracts need to be extended we likely wont have Romo

by my calulations TFred in two years. Martin in three years Cpllins in four.

there is Hardy and Gergory ect,ect

great problem but......

#93 got a free run at Cassel though.

That will happen if enough guys come. They blocked all of the inside guys and only left the guy who had the furthest to travel to the QB.
