Can Romo throw anything that isn’t a 5 yd slant or crossing pattern? No confidence in his deep ball, whether it be his choice or the coach’s play calling.

physical vs. soft

Why do they explode into tackles and smack guys, and we seem to always be barely dragging guys down?
Rhetorical question, of course.

their secondary really knows how to tackle.

D. really hasn't

looked that bad so far tonight – the offense has GOT to generate some points though….with each Offensive drive we’ve shot ourselves in the foot…interception….holding call on a 20+ yard barber run…and pass bounces off TO for an int. when we were driving deep in their territory – offense has to settle down and cut down on the mistakes

But as soon as Roy learns this offense, TO is no longer our number one receiver. Roy is more dynamic and, at least it appears this season, stronger.
