[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 237797, member: 1242"] I'm not going to use it as an excuse and it may not have made any difference but we didn't have our entire first team o-line out there. Scott Wells is still out and the rookie Josh Sitton, who won the starting right guard job, hasn't been able to get on the field with his preseason injury. And the sparing use of Ryan Grant suggests his hamstring injury is still an issue. The defense was the bigger issue tonight. Far too many "explosive" plays yielded, on the field too long. We saw this in our losses to the Cowboys in the '90's. Our guys would hold them and hold them and then BOOM the Big Play. Usually guys out of position, missing assignments, poor tackling. The offense could have helped by keeping possession more but the defense has to stand up and get off the field after third down, too. It's hard to say, too, how much of a difference Atari Bigby might have made against the run. And Al Harris was forced out of the game in the second quarter. With all the chances the Cowboys had, maybe the wonder is the score wasn't bigger. [/QUOTE]
