What a shitshow of a stadium, makes ya wonder how competent the maintenance staff actually is between the field and facility
If you told me that Prescott would throw 2 INTs, we would hold Elliott to 45 yards, and we would largely contain Cooper and Lamb who combined for 111 receiving yards, I would have said the opportunity was there to win.
The problem is we played like the moment was too big for us today in a meaningful game vs. Dallas. Obviously, we shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Additionally, I thought we panicked a bit too early at 4th and 3 down 11-0 and things went sideways from there.
Worst game of the season for this OL. That was a killer. Could not open up holes in the run game to save their lives, and Heinicke was under godawful pressure all game long, and didn't respond well to it. McLaurin was blanketed by Diggs and was a non-factor. Take Heinicke, Gibson, and McLaurin out of the mix and what chance do we really have?
Hurt.... knee from what I saw on NFL . COMIs Heineken hurt or benched for bad play?
The OC had no answers, and didn't really have a good plan from the get-go. He just hates running and was back to his usual tendencies. 10 carries for Gibson? Really? That is just ridiculous. He went away from the run WAY too early in this game. Anytime the running game looks like it is slow going, he abandons it. These last few weeks looked different; we had some slow starts, he stuck with it, and he we got some Ws. Today, once again, he had Taylor throwing way too much, and the Cowboys really had some fun with this idiotic strategy. This OL cannot block any DL that knows exactly what is coming, and today featured some of the most predictable calls imaginable. The main issue here is, there was plenty of time and the game was not out of reach, but Scott fell into his old tendencies and it often looked like Dallas had his playbook in their hands. In a bad season for Scott (in my opinion), this may have been his worst day.Another thing that was worrisome: The OC had no answers for pressure.
No designed roll outs, ran jet sweep fakes but never actually used a jet sweep.
BTW, does anybody else notice that they don't run slant routes in the quick passing game anymore? Why is that? Seems like guys like Terry,the Ghost(Samuel),Sims would do well on that type of route....
When your Oline is getting it's ass kicked, seems like these would be sensible adjustments to make but we never see that.
Wonder why?
