(President Obama addresses unrest in Ferguson)
(Cowboys vs. 49ers- The Play That Underscores Why The Cowboys Continue To Lose)
Line 1: Line 1:

The scenario: The Cowboys are down 7-0 after giving up a quick touchdown to the 49ers defense. Giving Cowboys fans hope is the fact that the offense has driven the ball right down the field against the 49ers vaunted defense. Dallas gets down to the San Fran two-yard line, it's 2nd and 1. You now have two chances (three if you choose to go on 4th down) to pick up one yard. One yard gets you four more downs to get one more yard. Then you've tied it 7-7 and it's game on. To make matters even more <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Travel-Bag-Gold-Watch-Bracelet.html>Gucci Gold Watch</a>  obvious, on the drive Dallas had gained 33 yards on 5 running plays (including a penalty play). That's over six yards a pop.

Yes, you'd guess the Cowboys would run the ball. Two shots at a yard, give it to Murray and let's go. That's what the Cowboys were also thinking on the play. Look at the lineup they had out on the field initially on the play, before they called timeout with the play-clock running down.

That, my friends, is the jumbo set. Extra left tackle? Check (red arrow: Jeremy Parnell). Two tight ends? Check (yellow arrow: Witten, Hanna). Fullback? Check (green arrow: ). The Cowboys are going to run the ball, (unless they were going to be tricky and pass out of that formation which is definitely possible!) It looks like they're going to pound it down the 49ers throats. But the play clock runs down and the Cowboys are forced to call a timeout.

WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥?When racial tensions erupted midway through his first presidential campaign, came to Philadelphia to decry the racial stalemate we ve been stuck in for years. Over time, he said, such wounds, rooted in America s painful history on race, can be healed.
+
As Romo, Scott Linehan and Jason Garrett confer on the sidelines, the personnel changes and we get this.
−
Six years later, the stalemate suddenly seems more entrenched than ever. As Obama pleads for calm and understanding in Ferguson, Missouri, he s struggling to determine what role 鈥?if any 鈥?the nation s first black president can play in defusing a crisis that has laid bare the profound sense of injustice felt by African-Americans across the country.
+
 
−
As Obama sought to strike the appropriate tone Monday, he appeared to be trapped between the need, as president and commander in chief, to stand up for the government s right to ensure law and order, and the inclination, as an African-American, to empathize with those whose say the killing of an unarmed black man just goes to show how blacks are treated differently by police.
+
Now we're in 11 personnel, three-wide. You can still run from this formation and initially Romo goes up under center, but he immediately changes the play, backing out to the shotgun (red arrow). Maybe it was a fake audible and they were planning to pass all along, but that seems doubtful as both  and signal the same audible motion out to the wide guys (yellow arrows). You could still run the draw from this formation, but instead this play is clearly for  (even though he's double covered). Why Romo checks out of a 7-man box that is not tightly packed is beyond me (green box). The two linebackers in the middle are a couple of yards back in the endzone, and one of them is still milling around as <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-New-Drivers-Guccissima.html>New Gucci</a>  the play starts. Romo has already said he didn't like the look of the defense against the run on this play, but I'm sorry, I just don't see why he wouldn't run it. Even so, you tell me you don't have any confidence that Murray can win a battle for one yard? Come on, that's a high percentage play. So now you have gone from a jumbo set initially, down to a possible run set that eventually turns into a pass set. How did we get so far from the obvious, high percentage play?
−
In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear, Obama said at the White House, in his most expansive comments to <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Mens-Jeans-Sale>True Religion Mens Jeans Sale</a>  date about the fatal  of 18-year-old Michael Brown just outside St. Louis.
+
Now the play actually starts, and it's bad choices/execution all around.
−
But while Obama lamented the disproportional apprehension of young , he pointedly argued that s not solely the fault of overzealous cops. Police officers must be honored and respected for the difficult job they perform, Obama said.
+
 
−
There are young black men that commit crime, the president said. We can argue about why that happens 鈥?because of the poverty they were born into and the lack of opportunity or school systems that fail them or what have you 鈥?but if they commit a crime, then they need to be prosecuted, because every community has an interest in public safety.
+
Romo is locked in on Dez from the start (red arrow). Why? He's is the only player double covered. The 49ers are playing the slant on the inside, and the fade/fade-stop on the outside. Across the field Terrance Williams has a one-on-one, but if you watch the play all the receivers are slow getting off the ball (look at all the action in the middle, then look at the three receivers?) and the Williams/Beasely combo barely run routes on the entire play. The Cowboys have bet the house on a double covered Dez. Romo doesn't throw the ball, which is smart, but  has inexplicably blown his block on Justin Smith (yellow circle). He pops forward at the snap, perhaps selling the play-action part of the play, but absolutely whiffs on Smith. Even if he thought he was run blocking he still missed the man totally.
−
It s a delicate balance that s likely to leave no one fully satisfied.
+
Romo gets sacked, and look at the Cowboys crazy blocking scheme on this play.
−
Aiming to reassure edgy Americans that the federal government is fully engaged, Obamaannounced that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel Wednesday to Ferguson to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown s death. Obama said he also spoke to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who has deployed National Guard units, and urged him to ensure the use of those units is limited and constructive. I ll be watching over the next several days, the president said.
+
 
−
Obama also called for the U.S. to reassess the militarization of local police departments that have purchased military gear from the Pentagon. Federal grants for such equipment have come under intense scrutiny amid the alarming images of armored vehicles and tear gas canisters filling the streets of an American suburb.
+
Two Cowboys linemen are three yards downfield blocking (red circle), two of them are at the line of scrimmage (yellow circle), and poor  is running back in desperation to save Romo (green circle). I'm not sure everybody along the line was on the same page. Regardless, the play is a disaster, Romo gets sacked, the Cowboys kick a FG and <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Authentic-Shoes-Messenger-Bag-Mens-Sneakers.html>Cheap Gucci Handbags</a>  the beatdown is on.
−
There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, Obama said. We don t <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Womens-Watch>Michael Kors Outlet Online</a>  want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our traditions.
+
Maybe it's reading too much into one play, a reasonable charge. But this sequence just seems to symbolize the Cowboys recent seasons. They take what should be a simple and easy decision, they have the right instinct initially, then decide what the hell...let's make this as hard as possible.
−
Yet for all the talk of procurement and sentencing disparities and police tactics, Obama has steadfastly avoided personalizing this latest bout of racial friction.
+
−
Unlike in 2013, when Obama declared that slain teen Trayvon Martin could have been me, Obama has been careful not to describe Brown s death through the lens of his own experience as an African-American.
+
−
And unlike in 2009, when Obama exacerbated tensions by saying police acted stupidly by arresting a black  University professor at his own home, this time Obama is leaving the fault-finding to investigators. Obama said Monday he has to be careful about appearing to put his thumb on the scale by weighing in while a federal probe is underway.
+
−
Witnesses have said Brown s hands were above his head when an officer shot him repeatedly on Aug. 9 in Ferguson. But police have said the officer was physically assaulted during a struggle over his weapon. Meanwhile, the aggressive police response to the subsequent protests has drawn criticism from across the <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Evening-Bag>Kate Spade Evening Bag</a>  U.S.

−
Obama s impassive response to the unrest in Ferguson contrasts with a second-term approach in which he generally has been more willing to engage on issues of race. In his remarks Monday, which came during a brief break from Obama s two-week vacation on Martha s Vineyard, the president pointed to his signature initiative, My Brother s Keeper, which aims to bring government, business and nonprofit groups together to empower young minorities to pursue a better future.

−
We re making some significant progress as people of good will of all races are ready to chip in, Obama said. But that requires that we build and not tear down, and that requires we listen and not just shout.
