It's frustrating as anything as a Boys fan to know how much talent they have and how much is being wasted. Of course it's always possible theres not as much talent as folks think there is, but then it's also possible that the team just is lacking in the chemistry or coaching or both. Either way I never thought I'd say it but at this point the Cowboys probably are the worst team in the NFL.

You pretty much said it 100% correct ODogg. From motivation to discipline, they are just horrible. Absolutely horrible.

They may be the worst Dallas team I have ever seen. And when I say the worst I am putting the talent level, to the lack of everything else mentioned. As of now anyway. And I think it is going to get worse.

Living in Dallas, I remember Dave Campo coached teams that were more motivated and disciplined than this team.

Tashard Choice also does statistically, but I'm not sure how much to read into his numbers given that he only has FIFTEEN total touches this season. I think the offensive line might be a huge problem for our offense in general.

I have a feeling that we don't practices running ball downhill. Our offensive line play on their heals for the vast majority of the game and then Garret expect in short yardage they will be effective. Offensive lines need a rthym to run block effectively and playing from the spread and running draws all game doesn't produce an effective running game.

Last year according football outsiders the Cowboys lead the league in draw plays and most our draw plays are out of the shot gun formation. So, our bread and butter running play is our running backs getting the ball 7 yards in the back field and trying to get back to the line scrimmage.

Jon Gruden was able to have a great passing attack and a power running game when he was with the raiders. I hate our offense. Painful to watch. Tons of yards between the 20's but stall in the redzone.

The sad part of Dave Campo is that he didn't have the talent.

Yeah the shotgun draw play is an "occasional" play from other teams for a reason, to catch them off guard. When it's your main rushing attack it's not going to work. And hasn't. Someone please tell that to the red haired genius down there in Big D' please.

I would love to see one of their practices period.

It must be a joke
