My one complaint about yesterday's win.

What the hell was Blache thinking rushing 3 guys toward the end of the half and at the end of the game?? The way the defense was playing this made no sense. We basically gave them 10 points.

Maybe we were desperate for some more pressure? I dunno. But we didn't knock Romo around nearly enough. We knew they were throwing in those situations, and when Romo had time he was money for the most part.

It's called not giving up the big plays aka not giving up a TD. When you have Austin, TO, Witten and Clayton all trying to catch a TD you don't have much of a choice.

I agree it look like we went to a zone before the half I belive. I was like attack that offense LOL.

The Cowboys LOVE the big play. Notice how they had very little of that? Blache forced the Cowboys to be patient and take what the D was giving them, and they were clearly flustered all day in doing so. It might not have been pretty but it worked.

yeah im glad you reminded me of this. the one real concern (other than being 1 injury to springs or rogers away from being vulnerable) i have is that romo or any qb we have played so far has had alot of time in the pocket. not just at the end of halves which is scheme prevent related i suppose but in general we have not gotten pressure from the front 4 and dont really blitz and when we do its 1 linebacker.

so far it has not come back to hurt us and our run D has been pretty solid but there has to be something we can do. maybe blatche is just easing into things and setting teams up by not showing blitz early in the season then dialing it up in the second half??

i do love the man coverage on the outside thoo, really dictated to the cowboys what they could do and forced them to change routes to those long drag across the field plays in order to use receiver speed to get alil separation from the corners. i think blatche will think about what adjustments teh boys made and in turn come up with a few ideas the next time an opponent tries teh adjustments the boys did.

i would love to hear from some of our more insightful and knowledgable members about not pressuring the qb.

go skins!!!

Yea, we didn't get alot of pressure much of the day. I didn't really like the prevent D at the end of the half. Especially w/ the way we were playing. Not alot to complain about besides that.

We might not have gotten sacks but the pressure was there at times. Romo is very good at avoiding pressure and getting the ball out. But I think the overall defensive gameplan was to keep everything in front of them and not give up the big play. Mission accomplished.

Prevent defense is standard operating procedure in those situations... drives fans nuts.

My one complaint was the goofy squib kick that gave the Cowboys great field position... this after Suishy had been consistently getting nice distance on his kickoffs.

We were pressuring him a lot yesterday. He is pretty slippery back there. Very good with his feet.
