Gspotter Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 are his playfakes. He's not very good at selling the run. He's always facing forward, looking downfield, doesn't even hunch down or hide the ball on his hip. When I thnk of his brother or Favre and how they sell it; it's now wonder play action has be money for them at times. For us, I don't think we're fooling anyone. It's just commitment to one's craft and the kid is still sorting out footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You're right, but I can deal with it if he continues to throw the ball like he did the other night. I'm WAY more concerned with his lack of accuracy than his fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Seriously? I've always thought Eli's play fakes was a big time strength for him... weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I agree, I dont think his play fakes are that convincing. But then again, his brother may be the best at it aside from Farve, so we may be comparing him unfairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in an accurracy problem, a complex resulting from the realization that you will always be in big brother's shadow, and you have a recipe for disaster. You are in for one long year, Bigblue. I hope you like hockey or basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy or not, if he wins, thats what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as Romo has yet to throw a TD. I see a lot of missed FG's from Dallas this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gspotter Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Play faking is a huge part of what makes play action necessary. It may be even more effective considering the way we "may" use #27. All that straight forward running can dictate a push up strategy by the opposing LB's and we can be wickedly effective underneath. I'd like to see that, but then again, Eli hasn't worked on the fine points of the game in terms of finesse. Of course, I think he's progressed overall and I'd rather have him than Romo and I'm not just saying that... Let's see Romo play when the chips are down. He's fallen off in parts of last season and our boy is solid in the 4th or when the chips are down; some would say he's actually better when the chips are down.

I see a lot of missed FG's from Dallas this year. From what I have seen Romo has played quit well in the preseason. The Cowboys scored 3 TDs against the Broncos starting unit. I am supposed to fault Romo because they ran it in instead of passing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gspotter Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 First, let me say that I don't generally respond to BadLeg because you're a poor poster and generally a dildo. As antagonizing goes, some people fall for it; some don't, but I see you coming a mile away. We always have one of you: Eagles (DonovanforPrez), Cowboys (you), and Skins fans haven't stolen a computer to post on. Never the less, between the ass whipping you got in our first game last year or the final game of the season prior, or just the way we've gotten to the playoffs in our last two years (been a while since you even made it twice in a row), keep in mind that we have a way of keeping our foot on your neck. I know a lot of Cowboy fans and they all have one thing in common: big talk with lots of excuses. It gives me great pleasure to know that fans like you (who crucified TO as an Eagle) now cheer him on with the highest of high hopes. #27 is coming to Roy Williams soon, sit back and enjoy what big blue fans already know!

Gspotter Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Dallas ran the ball because of the injuries that piled up on the other side of the ball. They won't always have the luxury. I sure hope Terry Glenn is back for our opener; I'd hate to beat them while they're hobbled; the excuses would be endless. Maybe our new pressure package will do to Romo what we did to Bledsoe.

What injuries on the "other side of the ball"? Irrespective of this, why pass when you are running well? As to your final issues, I don't think the Cowboys will need Glenn to take care of the Giants.
