On ESPN First Take Charean Williams reports:
Jason Garrett under fire for only 14 running plays against Green Bay. Jerry Jones not second guessing but vows more running plays. Garrett says flow of the game dictated passing becuase Cowboys didn't have the ball much.
Tied at 0 until late in the first half. Down by only 3 until early in the fourth quarter. Facing PASS blitzes all game long. When exactly did the flow of the game dictate abandoning the running game? Isn't running the ball one way to defeat the blitz.
They say all the 'eight in he box' dictated passing. But it was for pass blitzing. Even then, how about using the 2 touted tight ends in power I or single back, shown so much in the pre season, to counter eight in the box? I believe sometimes you run the ball just to force your will and keep your defense off the field.
That said, I believe Garrett has designed a good offense and good plays. He's just has no knack for when or how to apply that in game.
