Now who is talking like their opinion is fact?
Murray averaged 6 or 7 ypc against Washington. There was no need to get them to back off because they weren't stopping it.
And against Arizona, a smart coach rides the league's leading rusher and takes his chances, rather than the joke of a QB that is Weeden.
We ran the ball 23 times despite being down most of the day. I haven't looked up the drive charts, but I'd bet that Weeden rang up most of the 10-pass edge over running plays (he threw 33 times) on that last drive.
Playcalling was for the most part balanced in a game where you were trailing the majority of the time (since 5 min left in the 2nd quarter) and the entire 2nd half.
Don't know what you were watching, but I saw a running game that produced a few third and longs after two straight carries. You can't keep sustaining drives without getting some effectiveness out of the passing game. Unless you think that running on third and eight was going to keep converting into first downs.
Weeden was not able to muster enough to keep those drives going.
The previous week, Romo wasn't able to do anything either.
That's gonna have to be corrected or we can expect a lot more losses going forward.
