I'm sure Wilson and Garrett can coach him up :art

If we block like we did against the Giants I'm not sure it really matters which RB it is. McFadden had a very good game. I don't want to take it away from him but he also had great holes to run through. The first time this year that our run blocking resembled what it did last year. Hopefully Collins was a big part of that and it continues.

The OL's run-blocking improved over the bye, no doubt about it.

It's giving me some hope, actually. A little.

Ryan Mallett released. I'd cut Weeden for him like yesterday.

Mallet is a legit talent. But he really needs a Parcells like coach to set his ass straight. The reason Houston cut him was because he pouted after losing his job and basically started showing up late and missing things. That's just unacceptable but if anyone can get his head on straight he is a legit NFL pocket passer in my opinion. Hell he outplayed Hoyer when he was on the field.

O'Brien is considered a hard ass and he couldn't get through to him. I don't think the coach is the problem. Sounds like he's just a turd.

O'Brien was supposedly a QB guru too but he has mishandled that QB situation horribly. Naming one starter then naming the other the starter. Then when Mallet gets knocked out for a play or two in the game he just makes Hoyer the new starter. O'Brien has screwed the pooch on that whole situation horribly. I think he was caught between his dislike for Mallet but knowing Mallet gave them the better chance to win. So every chance he got he was looking for a way to bench Mallet.

There were less people to block since the backers were dropping back. This is the first game since Romo went down that the defenders had to contend with a down field passing threat.

Mallet has thrown less than 200 passes as a pro. His percentage is in the mid 50 % range. He can't be considered a big time threat.

It's absolutely no coincidence that it was Collins first game back starting. Dude is a beast.

Collins played a game earlier where we didn't run for shit. Sure, I'd rather he continues to start, but having SOME semblance of a passing attack was a huge help to the running game.

Basically, I hope Weeden falls and breaks both his arms so we aren't tempted to play him again.

Yeah, the extended passing game was without a doubt a big part of it, but Collins is heads and shoulders better at run blocking than Leary.

The running game was working from the 1st snap, we did not throw anything down field until the 3rd series.

I doubt they had to wait until the first pass was thrown to realize it wasn't Weeden they were playing against.

Yea but since when is Cassel thought of as some great vertical passing threat?

I highly doubt the Giants were scared into playing differently because Cassel was at QB.:lol

Teams were selling out on the run at the end of last year and the beginning this year even when we had Romo.

The fact that he is a flake and missed practice when he did not get the starting job and then missed the team flight this last week?

Except we wouldn't be counting on him for anything so if he pulled that crap with us we can just cut him.

Otherwise, you take a flyer on a guy with talent, see what happens.

I doubt he'd sign here anyway because he'd have better opportunities elsewhere.

Nobody has said Cassel is thought of as some great vertical passing threat. That's just you, doing what you do. Making shit up.

And nobody has said the Giants would be scared of Cassel, either. More imagined stupidity. But if you think that their defense would go in with the plan of playing like they would against Weeden... Well, that's on you.
