Balance

It a matter of if we can get/stay healthy down the stretch.

Colston was huge last night, indicating that he may have not been playing at full speed since early in the season. His presence opens up the secondary. His down-flied blocking also was a highlight of how well the screen passing game worked last night. Those little things are big.

If we can get our key D personnel off of IR and back on the field we should we able to snuff out any late-game comebacks. Backups getting major playing time due to insured starters will pay dividends.

As a commentator pointed out last night the gashing we have taken as been in big part to the 4-3 slanting and out DE getting crushed inside leaving open field. .

If you were coming to argue the balance between running and passing try back later, I am under no delusion that we have that, or need that.

Last night there were 38 rushing att. to 41 passing attempts. I'd say that kind of balance worked pretty well.

Dallas D sucked and our O-Line played better -- but still keeping a D off-balance and unable to read your mind is always a good thing.
