Dak Prescott: “This is Romo’s Team”

They proved they can win a game without injured quarterback Tony Romo. “That’s how you do a preseason right”.

“I’m just trying to do my best to win games and put this team in a successful position to do that week in and week out”. I think we all feel like we’re too good to be 0-2. “It was really executed well and Dak in particular did a good job handling the circumstances of that play and delivering a good throw”.

Again, we are just two weeks into the National Football League season.

The Redskins defense produced two big stops in the back-and-forth affair with the fumble recovery, then a three-and-out early in the fourth quarter that gave its offense another chance to take a commanding lead.

We knew that first-round draft pick Josh Doctson missed virtually the entire offseason because of an injury, and thus hardly worked with Washington’s first-string offense. At the same time, you’ve got to be able to take care of the ball.

“We’re going to be all right”. They never should have had to punt back to Washington! Wall admitted last month that he and his Wizards teammate Bradley Beal really don’t get along when playing on the court together during the National Basketball Association season. You don’t go cry in a corner. Anytime you run some kind of movement, the thing that concerns you the most is quick pressure off the edge.

Out of 67 total offensive plays, 50 were passing plays and of the 17 runs, nine were called on first downs. For someone who loves to hate the Cowboys, he sure does watch them a lot. You [drafted] the sports vehicle in Josh Doctson, but there were so many receivers in this draft. “We definitely needed this”.

Portis hastened to add that this analysis might look wrong with time, and indeed, this week’s panic could seem as silly as last month’s optimism by next month’s arrival. Garrett needs to elect to kick that ball into the end-zone and let the defense grind and have the length of the field as their ally.

Their problems have come in the red zone, where Cousins excelled during last year’s win streak. Going up against the 49ers receivers will help, but Bradberry allowed just one catch on seven targets, and it went for only six yards. “First two games, the proof is in the pudding, the numbers”. Fix that, and the Redskins can steady themselves, even with their defensive shortcomings. Head coach Jason Garrett and his staff made several questionable decisions, and they had the ball bounce their way just enough this week to obtain victory.

I have many words to say and write, and I will get to them, but sometimes Sixpacks are not the place for the venting necessary after a day like yesterday. “Look, we’ve still got 14 more games left”.
