While the Cowboys lead the league in rushing, they don't run the ball enough. Tashard Choice is the key to victory as Romo struggles early.

Having three starting-caliber backs and two really good tight ends has something to do with it as well.

a HELL of a lot to do with it. I just wish Bennett would start playing up to his potential. I was looking forward to a breakout season...oh well...still could happen.

Bennett has been mainly used as a blocker in either run or pass sets or a decoy. A few of the limited times they have gone to him Romo has thrown him bad passes. Gotta try to use him for him to break out stats wise.

I wish they'd stop trying that fade in the end zone. I don't think I've ever seen Romo throw that pass well.

The two times I have seen him throw it well were last week, when roy dropped the first one and when Bennett stopped and did not even run the designed fade route.

Look at the stats. If the Cowboys ever get 1st down inside the 10, they should just run the ball four times and celebrate when they get into the endzone.

I'll go back and look, but as of this moment I don't think either of those were terribly well thrown.

RW flat dropped his. With a big physical receiver, you throw a jump ball to a spot. Romo did that, and Roy dropped it. It hit both of his hands, and was out of the reach of the DB, who was only able to make a play on the way down to prevent the catch after Roy juggled it.
