Dallas Cowboys’ Offense May Have Figured It Out

Posted: 2nd December 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
Thanksgiving was great for Dallas Cowboys fans. Not just because the team posted another victory, but because a struggling offense found its way out of a slump. Sure, it was against the lowly Oakland Raiders, but they do have a good secondary, and Tony Romo found a groove against them, hitting Jason Witten and Miles Austin consistently for big gains. This is what we wanted to see from this offense. We knew ...

Cowboys Need To Make Jason Campbell Look Like Jason Campbell

Posted: 18th November 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
The Dallas CowboysÆ next game versus the hated Washington Redskins is a barometer game for this defense. That might sound a little strange because usually facing a good offense would be considered a measuring stick to see how good a defense really is. And that is true. However, I am making the argument that this SundayÆs game against a horrendous offense led by Jason Campbell can also show us how good this ...

Dallas Cowboys Midseason Report Card

Posted: 9th November 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
I meant to do a quarterly grading series, but since I had some laptop trouble back in October, I was unable to deliver. Instead, I will grade the Dallas Cowboys only twice this year. Behold, the midseason report card. QB: A- Tony Romo would have had a B- after the first four games, but his A over the last four have brought him up to an A-. I am seeing better decision ...

Romo To Austin Stew Boiling

Posted: 28th October 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
After the Bronco game I was a bit concerned that Tony Romo lost some accuracy. He missed some open receivers, a couple over the middle of the field, an area where Romo throws some of his best balls. We were four games into the season with Romo being bad in the two losses. I tried to look for some inconsistencies in his mechanics and couldnÆt find many other than not stepping ...

Debunking the Big Play Myth: Cowboys Will Be Fine on the Ground

Posted: 1st October 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
After reading and hearing many punditsÆ reactions to the Cowboys 21-7 victory over the Panthers, there is still a general concern that DallasÆ inability to stretch the field will prevent them from being a Super Bowl contender. Well, I am here to tell you that there are two things wrong with this theory/myth. First, the notion that Dallas cannot create big plays is not necessarily true. Seriously, was it not two weeks ...

Jason Garrett: Too Smart For Himself Sometimes

Posted: 22nd September 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
This article is not meant to throw Jason Garrett under the bus and solely blame him for Sunday night’s loss to the New York Giants. Believe me; Sunday’s loss was primarily on Tony Romo. He flat-out stunk. Those three interceptions were all costly and inexcusable because his protection was good and he had time to make the proper read. Romo just made horrible passes.  This article is also not meant to let the ...

Dallas Cowboys Week One Review/Week Two Preview: Run Defense

Posted: 15th September 2009 by John Saenz in NFL
There is much to talk about following the Dallas Cowboys’ impressive 34-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tony Romo got hot and you can argue that he was simply the difference in the game. Roy Williams and the receiving corps answered critics’ questions (for one week at least) that they can make big plays in the passing game. The special teams for once did not cause anyone headaches and there were only ...
