As long as the D can get pressure on McNabb, we'll be alright. If McNabb gets to sit back comfortably, he can shred the secondary. If he's getting bodies in his face and knocked to the ground, I think Dallas can pull off the win.

I think the same is true of Romo.

Definitely.

I know that can be said about almost any QB, but there are some that just crumble more than others.

:lol: Very True.

Another big game. The Packers at home are always tough. I hope to see the offense and defense continue to improve.

 

[Card Magnet]

I was happy to see Choice get a little more action than I was anticipating, especially with the TD against Philly.

I'm hoping that Romo will be able to shred the Packers secondary like a few other QBs have so far this season.

I was exceited as well. Whenever Choice gets into a game he always picks up positive yardage. I feel like the Cowboys have not been using him enough the past few weeks.

IMO Romo will be fine as along as he is protected. He does seem to be playing smarter.

I would like to see Barber/Choice used as the running attack, only using Felix on returns while bringing him in maybe 3-5 plays a game for screens, wildcat etc...

If it is effective, why not? I'm not saying use it how the Dolphins do, just one or two times a game. Felix is soooo fast, but he's fragile, I don't want to see him getting hurt every other game which is why I would like to see his action limited.

Maybe we can sign Vick next season and run it with our backup QB as a WR and Vick under center! Just like Philly... ::facepalm:: :lol:

On a serious note, I don't really like the wildcat in pro games. It just seems backyard footbally. But iif it's used and works, I'll cheer all the same. Barber/Choice definitely eneds to be the main way to go though, Fragile Felix can't get hit often.

 

[cowboysrule48]

I agree that I'm not a big fan of the wildcat in the NFL, but if it works for us, I really don't care.

Yep, Felix might be the most exciting player on the team. He would be the #1 back over Marion if him getting hit all game wasn't an issue. He can be valuable in the return game which is why I would rather just seem him there, and limit the risk of him getting hurt.

To be honest, I wanted to draft Mendenhall over Felix, but I knew we would end up with Felix because of the Arkansas connection.

 

[Card Magnet]

I'm glad the Cowboys didn't draft Mendenhall. It was Felix getting hurt that spring Choice. I know Mendenhall got hurt last season too, but who's to say that would have happened if he were a Cowboys.

 

[cowboysrule48]

I still can't believe Choice isn't getting more playing time, he's averaging 4.9 yards per.

 

[Card Magnet]

I know, it baffles me.

If they gave Choice a larger workload and eased up on Barber, it would work great I think. Can you imagine a fresh Barber in close yardage situations? Like he used to do.

I'd also like to see some more dual back situations. Any dual combination of Barber, Choice, and Jones could really open things up. The defense would have to worry about a quality back running each way, plus Austin and Witten going out for a pass.

I know!

Marion looked his best when we had Julius as the main back and a fresh Barber running against a worn-down defense.

I'm another one who doesn't mind the wildcat. IMO the Cowboys are set-up to do a better job w/ it than the Dolphins. Choice does need to get more touches. I'd like to see him on 1st down and Barber for short yardage and the 4th Qt. If the Offense stays healthy and the OL can protect Romo they will be fun to watch since they have so many weapons. Even the 3rd string tight end is contribiting as a blocker. He pancaked a guy on Sunday, which is pretty good for a TE.

Our 3rd Te is definitely a great guy to have.

Did it just stick out to me, or does anybody else think Martellus Bennett has been dropping almost everything thrown his way this season?

I want say yes but when he sees maybe a pass or two a game a drop really stands out. The Cowboys do need to get him more involved.

Here's a pretty good review by a long-time Cowboys beat writer:

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/news/story?id=4639689 (The offense is listed there with a link to D/ST)

I think he's a little hard on the RBs, but overall I agree with his grades.

With three winnable games coming up, they could be 9-2 headed into Dec. and 11 wins should secure a divison title and a home playoff game and even hopefully, a bye. We'll see...

They did a pretty good job w/ the grades. Nothing I would change. The Cowboys should go into Dec. w/ a winning streak, I just hope it continues. IMO Brooking has been the difference maker b/c of his leadership.
