The Dallas game was super frustrating.

I felt that their secondary looked weak, and was screaming to throw the ball.

I think that we failed to adjust quick enough.

Having said that, I remember our SB48 year well.

We were a run first team that played great Defense.

I don’t hate the philosophy.

I hate the failure to recognize the need to adjust when it’s not working, or when you may need to set up the running game with some passes.

Just a few deep balls, even if unsuccessful will spread the box out a bit.
Seems simple too me but what the Hell do I know.

I’m a cheerleader for crying out loud.


Even the year we won the SB we had games the run was not working we started throwing it. In fact we only ran for over 100 yards 6 times. They were just hard headed in this game
