Cowboys/Miami preseason disaster thread




ZZZZZzzzzzz preseason is so boring.

 

No starters and no Dez? So much for all the hype.

 

Who thinks the Cowboys may be destined for a debacle season? I dont want to get too worried over preseason but Garrett better get it together. Wade's defense will be there, it's all on Garrett to stop his idiotic situational and red zone play calling.

 

I think Ron Washington's patented fumes of suckiness are starting to infect the Cowboys.

 

BTW, just for conversations sake, Tony Romo and Jon Kitnas stats this preseason

Player Att Comp Yds Comp % Yds/Att TD TD % INT INT % Long Sck Sack/Lost Rating
Tony Romo 46 26 287 56.5 6.2 1 2.2 2 4.3 30 5 32 64.3

 

Jon Kitna 39 24 285 61.5 7.3 2 5.1 0 0.0 32 3 23 100.9

Is there EVER

A time Garrett doesn’t run on 2nd and 10?

Seriously, ever?

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Hey

There was a second and long play in this game where Garrett threw! I’m certain of it. WOW. Nice like 8-9 yard completion too.

Course then he kind of messed up the smart call by deciding to throw on the following third and short, but I’ll take what I can get.

Not a bad game

For preseason, fairly crisp and entertaining.

by Sharky on Sep 2, 2010 8:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Cowboys offense looked a lot better

Guess it’s time to get back on the bandwagon. Just in time for the regular season, how convenient.

Is Sparano calling plays in Miami?

I hope not. Their OC was Henning, who’s older than dirt and gone, thought it was him. But I see Sparano carrying around one of those plastic playsheets.

Great, if it’s Sparano, the Fins might not actually suck. And that’s a blow to my Parcells hate.

by Sharky on Sep 2, 2010 9:59 PM CDT reply actions  

Refs hate the Cowboys

I’m convinced.

Saw a ton of Miami defensive offsides not called in this game, but EVERY ticky tack foul gets called on the Cowboys. LIke the one on that return just there.

We’re going to see a lot of ten penalty games against the Boys as usual, and all thanks to ref bias.

The long throw to Hurd was nice.

But you’re right, he doesn’t throw well and has no confidence in his throwing.

Tebow

Finishes the preseason with a 88.0 QB rating, compared to a 95.4 for Orton and a 73.1 for Brady Quinn. 2 TD’s 2 INT’s.

Also I think he has moved up to second team ahead of Quinn as that’s where he’s playerd the last to games.

Hardly looks overmatched anyway, which was the big claim of the haters.

by Sharky on Sep 3, 2010 12:34 AM CDT reply actions  

With Tebow starting for them, Denver would lose minimum ten games.

Nah

It would make little difference, they have McDaniels.

He’ll be starting soon.

by Sharky on Sep 3, 2010 2:01 AM CDT up reply actions  

And they'll be losing.

Mistake

starting a rookie QB is usually a mistake, starting Tebow would be a huge mistake.

by Texcal1997 on Sep 3, 2010 11:11 AM CDT up reply actions  

lol of course

if we start with the presupposition tebow sucks, like good lsb sheep do.

Early lines up

And it’s only Dallas by 3.5 at Washington. Geez. And you people didn’t believe me when I told you how tough this schedule would be. I would have thought we’d merit about 7. But then again, everybody knows it’s all about the changes at offensive coordinator.

by Sharky on Sep 3, 2010 6:27 AM CDT reply actions  

Probably because

folks know Jason Garrett is a bad OC.

by DJCahill on Sep 3, 2010 8:36 AM CDT up reply actions  

he has his good points

you judge an oc by record and there’s a lot of skins on garrett’s wall.

look at the offensive numbers and stats we put up, and the perception that this offense is “loaded with talent”. Of course there’s no more physical talent in Dallas than any other team, so that’s all on Garrett.

Those are the positives, the negatives are calling dumb plays that dont fit the situation, and serious problems in the red zone. He needs to get a lot better there.

One thing Garrett has always been strong at, always, is he puts multiple receivers in good patterns and gets guys open. So much so that I wish he’d run a more wide open offense. If we threw more we’d be more dangerous.

But the bad side is he shoots himself in the foot with such dumb calls. 2nd and 10? Lets plow into the middle for one yard and set up a drive killing 3rd and 9 every time. Third and one? Lets pass instead of taking the percentage play. That kind of crap.

And I’ve never been fond of his style of running game, which always seems to be based on trickery instead of brute strength.

But remember we were 11-5 last year and it could be a lot worse.

by Sharky on Sep 3, 2010 6:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

The reason he probably relies on trickery

is because the running game ain’t that great, and with the line beat up, I wouldn’t expect much this year. Barber is completely done, and the offensive line isn’t going to open the holes to pound anything.

by DJCahill on Sep 3, 2010 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'll take it under advisement

Considering that you dont know anything lol.

Nah, I’m worried about the Cowboys because of the brutal schedule. People dont appreciate how strong the NFC east is going to be. Washington now has two Shanahan’s running things, they’ll be totally revamped, Lord help us if the Giants new DC is any good, and nothing changed in philly except they got probably a better QB they’ll be dangerous as hell as always.

But hey, after a nice preseason win, I’m thinking positive on the Cowboys right now. Beginning the season is always the time for optimism.

Crayton is the new Greg Ellis
The agent for Patrick Crayton will request the Cowboys release his client prior to Saturday’s deadline for final cuts.

by octoberty on Sep 3, 2010 8:14 AM CDT reply actions  

Crayton made some big catches for us

I’ll feel a slight twinge on him leaving. He was dependable. I’m surprised we were actually able to get a draft pick for him, that’s great. For his part, going to a good OC with Norv is good for him.

I guess it’s a good move, get younger and faster. I dont care about talent, so I mainly want to see younger and faster out there. As much as talent helps, that will. Maybe one play this year Ogletree will blow by somebody that Crayton wouldn’t, and maybe that helps us win a game.

It’s weird this was a money decision. Seeing how much owners spend, it’s odd how much they care about saving a million here or there, or how much they pay the head coach. But then again, a million dollars is a million dollars.

Jason Garrett is a definite concern.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are not their stories,.......

by robbo24 on Sep 4, 2010 9:07 AM CDT reply actions  

and yet

without him we’ll probably be 4-12. go figure.

ahh, the days of the cowboys 6-10, when nobody ever talked about the offensive coordinator..perhaps Garrett should just guide the team to 6-10, maybe then the fans will stop talking about him.

by Sharky on Sep 4, 2010 7:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Cowboys would probably do better

if they got Maurice Carthon back.

The running game would definitely be better.

LOLOLOL

Sure, I suggest the Houston Texans grab Carthon right away. You’re right, the running game down in Houston would be great.

Another place I think Carthon would be a great fit would be New England. I feel they should snatch him up right away.

Oh that’s right, Houston and NE only hires young white offensive coordinators by the dozen, my bad. And they will never ever hire a minority OC.

Yeah

He’s so horrible, all the big numbers our offense puts up, the 11-5 we have to suffer through.

The guys a bum. Bring back whoever was OC when we were 6-10. You guys never ever critized him.

BTW, none of you complained about Payton leaving at the time. And if Payton was still here, I’m sure you’d hate him too, since you hate what makes the Cowboys good.

by Sharky on Sep 6, 2010 8:18 AM CDT up reply actions  

btw

Love how it’s all about the talent. OC doesn’t matter.

Except when you want to bash Garrett, then it’s really important.
