Good analysis by ESPN NFC East Blog
http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/50889/in-defense-of-offense-the-cowboys-draft
This is that guy that does the NFC East blog after Matt Mosely quit. He hates the cowboys, because he's from NY, but even he likes the Cowboys' draft. I do too. It seemed like there was a plan in place and they
stuck to it, instead of willy nilly picking random guys. I Like the blogger's point that the Cowboys put up big yardage numbers but then
stalled in the redzone. And I know from watching the games it was
because with all his greatness, Witten disappears in the red zone; we
couldn't run the ball; Miles Austin is always hurt.
So that left only
Dez Bryant, so teams always double teamed him and Romo would try to force
it into him. But now they have another TE
who is a good big body (6'7"), they have Terrance Williams to
take heat off Dez, and they added a center with a nasty streak. So
when you are down on the goal line, and you always run up the middle on
goal line situations, they have someone better to give a push in the
middle for the RBs. And they added a big strong RB (instead of a
"change of pace" back) since DeMarco is always hurt. John Randle can
pound it up the middle on the goal line instead of Felix falling down
two yards behind the line of scrimmage when the first defender looks at
him. It looks to me they know this is a scoring league, and they added a
bunch of dudes to try and score more points when in the redzone.
