Leary has like one good game under his belt. And Witten is a pass catching TE who's an adequate blocker. You don't count on him to move bodies on 4th and 1.

Don't know what you habve been watching, but the left side of the OL, has been pretty good WHEN Leary was in there.

The Raiders and Cardinals are definitely a legit measuring stick in the NFL.

The Raiders have no one and he was double teaming Dockett most of the time.

It was Dez. And we did so because this happened earlier:

Dumb play as usual. Romo QB sneaks it, it's a first down. WHAT THE FUCK DOES GARRETT HAVE AGAINST QB SNEAKS? But instead wants to hand the ball off to the FB.. WHO IS 5 YARDS BEHIND THE LOS, thus making it technally 4th and 4 and not 4th and 1.

Witten is hardly adequate. He's one of the best blocking TEs in the game, hence why he is one of the best overall TEs in the game. And Leary has had two good games under his belt.

And if Leary had gotten bitch-slapped by both of those defenders on that team, you'd be bitching about that.

If I called a run play, I wouldn't do it into the teeth of the defense. Toss sweep that mug and string them out. Or spread out the WRs and do a draw play.

Not saying that it doesn't work sometimes, but I truly dislike running wide on short yardage. Too much of an opportunity for negative yardage.

Spreading the D and then running a draw - that's more like it.

Remember a few years ago we ran on 4th and short. Romo faked a handoff to the fullback and then tossed it to Felix running left and he went basically untouched into the end zone.

Beautifully executed. Never saw that play again.

Indeed. That's how Garrett rolls. If something works... he will not call that play again. Hell, for just a first down, I'd like tos ee ROmo do a roll out and head for out of bounds.

Go for it. Line up 5 wide in the gun. Dez goes in motion! Takes a pitch from Romo! Dez races like its a reverse...but NO! Lateral across the field to Cole Beasley! Beasley then pitches to....Ronald Leary! Romo is his lead blocker! Up the gut, they have the first down! But wait! Another pitch! This one to DeMarco Murray, who...fumbles it. Broncos ball.

That reminds me of those god damn end of the game kick return plays that NEVER WORK.

Picture it... Sicily, 1937

Wait, no.


Picture it....

Super Bowl this year

Cowboys vs Broncos

59 seconds left on the clock.

Cowboys have 1 time out left.

4th and 1.

Ball is on the opponents 38 yard line.

Down by 3.

Do you send out Dan Bailey to attempt a 55 yard game tying fielg goal and trust your D to get us into OT?

Do you send Romo and the offense out to try and get the first and move in closer for the field goal or better yet potentially get a TD?

The third down and short pass was terrible, two years ago, where Romo would drop back and wait, while the first down was just a few steps in front of him. I can't tell if he was restricted from running the ball then or he just kind of forgot that he was an option to run.
