Romo on Escobar's 2 TDs: "They played 1 or 2 coverages that we felt like we had an oppty to exploit."

always fun to exploit blown coverages and safeties who hit like they're made of cotton. First Escobar TD was Hosely forgetting his role. Second was well contested but would've been jarred free or prevented entirely if Demps was a better safety.
That third and nine conversion  
bceagle05 : 10/19/2014 11:38 pm : link
to Witten in the second half had me laughing. He literally ran 10 yards down the field in between two flat-footed defenders, and turned around to make the catch. No resistance whatsoever.
of course

Every single offensive player says that going into the game.


the difference is that hte winning team usually is able to execute and exploit those specific matchups, be it because of down & distance, point differential, OL/DL play, etc.

He approves of them.
our pass rush

has been non-existent going on 3 years now

that being said - cannot stand fewell.
Anything resembling a coverage scheme  
Stufftherun : 10/19/2014 11:43 pm : link
would look very different to any QB when standing behind his line unmolested for an eternity.
hmmm I'd be interested to find out the "cover scheme"  
Giants11 : 10/19/2014 11:47 pm : link
on that first TD. What was Rolle's assignment on that one? cover the painted W and B?

his game plans to the opposing teams? When will he take the hit for the way his teams play now?
Yeah

It's called a soft zone coverage scheme with no pass rush. A perry fewell special.
'COVERAGE, COVERAGE"

Chandler Fenner on Dez in the slot AKA

Fenner covering Dez is LOL material.
Did I see Rolle come off the field screaming at Fewell at

one point?
Fewell has got to go at the of the season.  
Rick in Dallas : 10/20/2014 7:44 am : link
Defensive schemes he employs are easy to exploit. Having said that are defensive execution sucks with no discipline at all. Defense never wins on third down.
Do the players believe in his game plans?
Especially since they included 3 third stingers  
BillT : 10/20/2014 7:55 am : link
Bowman, Holsey and Demps (if you include Cooper Taylor which I think is fair) are all third sting players. "Coverage schemes" are one thing and the guys playing them are something else.
Oh yeah  
BillT : 10/20/2014 7:56 am : link
Fenner is a fourth stringer.
What kills me  
blueblood'11 : 10/20/2014 7:59 am : link
Most of the time on third down Fewell takes our best defensive lineman Hankins off the field.
Is Prince a third stringer...physical mismatch against Dez  
Rick in Dallas : 10/20/2014 8:02 am : link
Why not double Dez to try and take him out of the game? Force Romo to go elsewhere on third down.
you can not play so passive in today's NFL. The rules are  
dangerousrappingfrog : 10/20/2014 8:02 am : link
tailored to give the offense the advantage, particularly in the passing game. If you can't blitz well and pressure the qb, WR's are going to get open. When QB's have all day, they are going to make plays.

Sticking with the run game killed us too. The WCO worked great later in the game; no reason to nit use it earlier. We can't have 3 and a mile all the time.
I don't blame the DBs, they are half bad  
JohnB : 10/20/2014 8:03 am : link
its the fact that the QB has all day to sit back and wait for someone to become open. Without any pressure, even the greatest DBs in the game will be exposed.

I couldnt  
SBlue46 : 10/20/2014 8:29 am : link
Believe they ran so much because..we. couldnt
stop the pass...they were afraid eli would
keep scoring...but when we tried to run it blew that...
we helped them....I thought tc was trying to match
them...ego

Just look at the second Dallas TD, the one before halftime. Bowman had good coverage on Williams but Romo had time to roll out, sit and wait, and Williams eventually shook free.

Bubba : 10/20/2014 11:06 am : link
playing in the d backfield with no pass rush equals Romo and Dez lighting it up. Frankly I'm impressed we only gave up 31.
not DBs fault  
giantfanboy : 10/20/2014 11:21 am : link
sorry if any decent QB has all day to throw
he is going to complete the pass

Romo was untouched most of the day especially on third down

the last TD was typical. the giants had everyone covered at first but Romo had incredible amount of time
the receiver broke to open part of end zone and it was TD.

they used to have a player-manager sometimes. I wonder if Rolle could possibly become a player-coach next year. He seems to have a lot of things to say about the defense.
Fewell sucks ass
