Once again, its a tale of two halves. Romo was 8-13 for 185 yards and a TD in the second half against Green Bay. The run game dominated. 6.2 ypc IIRC. When the passing game struggled, the run game was there. Owens didn't do do much receiving wise. But he drew PLENTY of defenders (which is why Austin was able to get deep via 1v1 coverage) and blocked well. Ratliff continues to be active on the defense and probably our best DL. Can our guys please learn how to wrap up a QB? Good grief. Henry had 2 sacks. Awesome. Henry is now a pass rusher (j/k). We did an excellent job stopping the run. A lot of credit needs to be given to Bradie James. Folk, McBriar... continue to impress. I know I just brought up a K and a P, but its worth saying. Folk has been money thus far... and McBriar flopped field position when we desperately needed it. Yeah, he did shank one punt...
just watching the game, most of the time it seemed like it was an off night for the cowboys and they still came away with a fairly easy win against a very good team. the packers and the nfc east are the best 5 teams in the nfc. owens didn't do a lot receiving but he still made an impact. i don't understand how none of the announcers even mentioned him sprinting down the field(and passing up felix jones even though jones had about a 5 yards headstart) and blocking the two guys who had a shot at stopping him on his long td run. it was a great play by owens but there was no mention at all during or after the game.
Did you hear Owens comments in an interview he made today? He basically said he was really proud of Austin. He also said he knew he'd be double and tripled team most of the night and wouldn't get very many opportunities. And that the opportunities he had, he didn't make good on them. He said he apologized to Tony (Romo) and the team for that. And that he'll make up for it next week against Washington. He wants a repeat of last year. He said if he ends up with 3 TDs, he'll be disappointed. He also said Garrett was adding new wrinkles to the offense this week, and that he's going to work before, during, and after practice to better himself in beating double and triple coverage. ESPN will ignore this, But I thought we'd at least like to know the truth.
