To add to your thoughts of errors made by Seattle I saw a lot of attempted tackles high at the shoulders and trying for the ball, which led to a lot of extra yards for Dallas. I agree with a lot of other posts that say we need to get back to basics, take their legs out.
This is all adjustable and its only week 6. Lets take a look at it again by week 9-10.
I have confidence in this group and they'll rise!
Yeah, because DeMarco Murray has a notorious problem with fumbling. I had him on my fantasy team a few years back and he would have these games where he'd put up 120 yards rushing and a TD, then kill his own fantasy score with 2 late fumbles. And that was a regular problem. Like almost every week. It was very frustrating. One second he's got 22 fantasy points and you're killing your opponent, a few minutes later, he's got 10 points and you're cussing at your television along with the Dallas fans.
I noticed Seattle going for the strips on every run and it was obvious they were going after the fumble versus tackles. If you go back and watch, Sherman wasn't doing that, he was just wrapping up and tackling. Just one of the ways he's such a great defender for us.
Murray fumbled on one play without even being touched, he was just running and bobbled it up into the air. Lucky for Dallas, he was on the sideline and the ball flew out of bounds. There was a DB right there who would have grabbed that fumble had Murray been just a few yards away from the sideline.
Just to expound on Murray: this is why I think Dallas won't be a serious postseason contender. They're always strong early because Murray is always healthy early, but he ALWAYS breaks down around Week 8. Dallas will start strong, but they're going to fade once Romo starts choking it up in December (as usual) and Murray is injured (as usual).
