DMN Blog: Full go in practice
12:25 PM Wed, Jan 02, 2008
The Cowboys were pulling shoulder pads on this morning, and it looks like they'll be hitting in practice for the first time in a month. They've been sweats or shells for some time now.
Why? Well, here's two reasons from the Redskins game: They couldn't run the ball and they couldn't stop the run. Offensively, the number in that category was historically bad. Defensively, the problem's pretty long-ranging. For the fourth time in five games, the Cowboys allowed more than 120 yards rushing, after yielding that many just twice in their first 11 games.
So work on run fits on defense and blocking on offense could be a focus today. Also playing in to this, without question, is the fact that it's a bye week, and that allows for a little more banging with the next game so far off.
