I've never been too shy about letting my feelings about Jason Garrett as an offensive coordinator be known.  I've always thought he ran a very vanilla, predictable offense that didn't play to our strengths.  I didn't understand how he was being considered for head coaching gigs, and I surely didn't fathom his billing as an "offensive genius".  But I'm not ashamed to say that he definitely lived up to that name in week 1.  He picked Tampa's defense apart very methodically and did a great job of using motion and formations to exploit them and get us in favorable mismatches.  Part of me wonders if it was that he felt he could do more with his personnel this year and part of me hopes he's evolving into a very solid offensive mind.  I hope it's the latter.  I'll reserve judgement on him in general for at least a few more weeks, but for at least one week, you've definitely earned my respect Red Jesus.

Let me preface this by saying that this post isn't based in facts or anything I've read, but merely one man's opinion that scares the living daylights out of him.

From the DMN

Quite frankly, it's about time in my opinion.  Every single one of us have noticed all season long that our talent, especially at WR, is being misused.  I know Witt is great, but we have some great playmakers in this offense that aren't being used.  I know they throw the ball to TO 3000 times a game, but it's the way they try to get him the ball.  Smoke screens aren't effective in the NFL.  Give this guy the ball on slants and drags and let him make plays.  Use Roy in the same way.  These are big, stong dudes.  I also have to applaud them for doing it in private.  If TO had ripped Garrett in the press, it would have been news.  But since he did things the right way, behind closed doors, this will be a side note.

Apparently Pac had a second opinion done with a move favorable result.  From PFT

The early indications this week were that Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones had suffered a neck injury that was career threatening. But a second opinion gave Jones good news.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that another doctor has told Jones he could resume playing in a few weeks. That doctor told Jones he has fluid in his spine but will not need surgery.

With only three games remaining in the regular season, even an injury that keeps Jones out for a few weeks could lead the Cowboys to put him on injured reserve. But Jones is hoping that he can play for the Cowboys in the playoffs, if they make it.

Jones has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Giants.

Unfortunately for me, this past weeks game was my first Cowboys game.  It was quite an experience, in spite of the outcome.  The sight of the Boys coming out for pre game warm-ups is something I'll never forget.  But enough about that, here are some things I noted from the game, without the benefit of instant replay, multiple camera angles, or Tivo to back me up on this.

It seems we will have to face the Skins with top back Clinton Portis afterall.  On the good news side, CB Shawn Springs, who completely manhandled TO in our last game, will be inactive for the game.  It remains to be seen how effective Portis can actually be with his injured MCL.

TO should most definitely have a good game after the bye.  Not only is Romo back, but his personal whipping boy just joined the division.  Who knows maybe you guys think more of the guy than I do.  I just know Owens has a pretty good track record against him.  Then again, so does every other receiver he's covered this year.  If Michael Jenkins can score two long TD's on him....
