Sometime after the second quarter, Dallas ran Jones and Barber who made nice gains. I figuered they'd use the running game but they didn't, which I think cost them the game.
The name Emmet Smith comes to mind. I used to recall Dallas as having a huge running game. If they had run more and pounded the V's defense, they might have bought Tony some time in the pocket. When you under-utilize backs like Dallas has, something's wrong.
I think the absence of Flozell might have more impact than I’d thought. They can’t run when they lose 4 yards a carry and they can’t pass when the QB is being chased on every play.
