Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

Both teams have more talent on one side of the ball while the other side is going through a trail and error process.

Dallas offense has lots of talent and the Redskins Defense has a lot of talent but they often take themselves out of position to be the elite group in the NFL. For Dallas, Romo is the problem more often than not. Romo has had his chances same broken record no new tunes.
Redskins defense I would say pass rushers and LaRon Landry is not the same guy he was 2 years ago. He takes bad angles and trys to superman the ball-carrier. Haynesworth is a great pickup. How these two sides take that next step?

Dallas defense can't get a sack, turnover, or stop players from getting wideopen in the middle of the field.
The Redskins can't find the endzone because the offense has no identity.
QB Campbell needs to stop telling people they need to play harder when he is fing up. No pocket awareness. In his defense the marry go round of coaches hurts him.

Re: Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

I really want to agree with you but if I'm being objective, the only true talent on Dallas's offense lies with Witten and MAYBE Barber.

Some truth to this. But. We have talent on both sides of the ball. We just need to utilize it better. Getting in the endzone has nothing to do with Identity. It has more to do with play calling. Because we have the players. As far as Campbell fing up..He makes his mistakes. But he is not the only issue. He actually has improved over last year. Last year he could barely throw for 200 yards. This year he has for both games. Everyone has to play their part on the offense for it to work properly. You also have to catch and hold on to the ball. JC can't do it all by himself.

yeah I heard Dallas hasn't had a sack yet. We atleast have 2.

Re: Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

The different between Romo and Campbell is Romo has the green light to throw the ball all over the field. Romo also is much more careless with the ball than JC. Romo has been compared to Brett Farve but he doesn't win the big games like Farve. Only thing we are a like is we both have 1-1 records and we both lost to the G-Men.

Re: Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

I hate to say it but Dallas has a better running game right now...I'm just not sold on CP and I think we should become a pass-offense (I could be dead wrong about this). In regards to Romo and Campbell...well I think both QBs have lost games for their teams. Romo gave away that game with those 3 picks, and Campbell lost that game with that fumble against the G-men.

I think your analysis of our issues is pretty off.

Re: Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

she's not saying our offense is bad (even though it is) she is saying that the Dallas D and the Washington O aren't playing to the talent level they have and what we expected in the start of the season

Especially if you put it that way, I disagree. The Dallas D is playing precisely to its talent level: poor. Many folks expected the Cowboys to struggle on defense this year.

As for the Redskins O, they are underperforming as a unit. But there is talent there which could produce differently.

Summary: moving forward, there is more upside to the Redskins O than there is for the Dallas D

Agreed there. I just don't think that the Dallas D is as BAD as everyone thinks or how they are playing now. I think they are better than that.

Re: Dallas and Washington are very much alike...

Dallas can score points. They just ran over a very good Giants defense. Just mauled them in the run game. However the secondary is a real problem. We may be alike cause one side of the ball is better than the other but that's the case with a lot of teams. But Dallas is probably better simply cause they can score.

Dallas' front 7 is pretty nice, the defensive backfield sucks! Ware is a beast, and I like Spears, Ratliff, and James. Newman is an overrated Probowl POS!

Well their defense gives up a lot of points. How is that different from a team that doesn't score much but has a defense that doesn't allow that many points?
