Also, what is up with the prevent defense? I know Blache didn't learn that from Williams. We were so successful matching up with them in man to man and blitzing Romo, why would you suddenly switch to a soft prevent shell? They got a field goal at the end of the half they shouldn't have gotten. Also, while we at least mixed it up on their last offensive drive, once they got inside the 30 we switched back to a 3 man front and gave up a TD shortly after. Seriously, what is up with that? Run your defense, especially when it's working.

I think that was probably a strictly Cowboys call given how quickly they can put up points. We were shutting them down until they got that long completion to midfield and then we went to the prevent.
