Gotta love the TD celebration on that run. Hand it to the offensive lineman and let them spike it. Every RB should do that at least once in their NFL career.
This game did not look like it was going to end this way at the beginning.. I like Dak, I still want him to fail spectacularly. If Watson didn't show so much promise last Sunday, I would be really jealous right now.
Good game, Cowboys! This felt more like it. The slow start made it look like we were getting dominated again but not this time. We answered.
We answered with tough defense and good playcalling. Hopefully Linehan found his groove this game. Play action is a beautiful thing on first down when everyone thinks you will run. And the zone read is a highly effective play when used occasionally.
Cowboys offense has struggled against tough physical teams such as the Broncos and even the Cardinals tonight in the first half. After watching the beatdown the Redskins put on the Raiders, I would pick them to manhandle the Cowboys and come out on top of the division. Even the Eagles and Giants have strong front-7s to present a formidable challenge in the division games. I can easily see the Cowboys going 8-8. Their non-division schedule is even more brutal with Rams, Packers, Chiefs, Falcons, Raiders, Seahawks.
Huh? Lol... This is my biggest knock. We have such a dominating run game, it's like we are stubborn and run into 8-9 man boxes. We need more creativity early on. As the game went on and we started switching things up a bit and it really opened up the run and the entire offense. The past 2 weeks we came out on the first possession and went run-run. I get trying to stick to strengths and get the run game going but defenses are literally gameplanning all week on stopping the run on 1st and 2nd. Our offense is half of our defense. It cannot survive being on the field all game. We have to control the game clock to keep players fresh. Look how gassed Demarcus was at the end. But if we are so predictable and keep getting 3 and outted early on it won't end well.
