'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly

[JWsleep]

I don't know. The way it looked to me was that the gints rolled their safeties to the outside to protect their CBs, and Zorn/Campbell hit the intermediate middle for lots of plays. ARE and Cooley had big days.

But the odd thing is that Zorn didn't stick to his WC system ENOUGH, IMO. Why run Portis on 1st down? Because, hey, you've got a 1400 yard back, Buges as a line coach, it's the NFC east, you've got to control ToP, etc. That looked like Gibbs II, not the WC. I think maybe we need to move away a bit from the Buges/Gibbs stuff and throw to set up the run. We haven't done enough of that yet.

Yep, I'm with you here. Time to dump the delusion that we're a power running team. We haven't been that way since Riggins retired.

We have all these receivers, two pass catching tight ends, and a running back that can block. Even though the deep accuracy isn't always there, we have a QB with an arm like a howitzer. Put Campbell in the shotgun and throw it 65% of the time. Run the ball to change things up and to put away the oppenent with a safe lead. But throw the damn ball, and throw it with purpose.

Right on. Just what I'd like to see.

Romo connected on a 70 yard TD pass to Roy Williams and the ball only traveled through the air around 15 yards. We don't need to throw the ball 50-70 yards in the air to have a big play. Everything seems to be either a 5-10 yard dink or a bomb that misses terribly. Where's are the intermediate plays? The YAC?

Makes sense. 5 yard pass with 2.7 yards of YAC is about 55% Our YAC doesn't seem to resemble New England's YAC although we're "statistically" close.

Nice post man. We have the weapons to be a passing team...use them. Right now I have no idea what we're suppose to be.

They weapons aren't effective if you dont have the ammo. We need to find the ammo for our weapons. Lets hope our coaches can get it right this week againt the Lams.

I almost don't have a problem with the team trying to run so much. It wears down the defense, but by mid to late 3rd quarter they needed to dump the run and pass only to catch up and surpass the Giants. but what I do have a problem with is teams know to stop the Skins all they have to do is stop the run. Force us to go to the air. Until the Skins can step back and throw the ball down field either intermediate or long to force the other team to pull back off the line more often this is what we are going to see.

Then the announcers simply had to rub it in saying the first time defensive co-ordinator is doing a great job with no name mediocre talent. "He's got them playing together."

and yes the lack of adjustment is pissing me off also.
