A positive about having orton in the film room this week is that he prepared for the Bears last year and it is the same DC.

 

Same will be true for the lions, GB, SD, Denver, KC and Raiders games, all whom the cowboys played last season. Vikes have a new D (but we did prep for Zimmer's D last year when he was in Cincy)

@buffalobills: Orton: "My role on this team is a backup. Job No. 1 is to help EJ"

 

That's gonna ruin some posters wet dreams...

 

Until EJ sprains a knee ligament doing his "crip walk" in the endzone and Orton comes in to run an effective offense with the same exact players. :nana:

It's amazing how much better Orton and his team were with 4 fewer percentage points of completion %, fewer YPA, more turnovers than TDs, and less effective scrambling ability.

Bears had the # 1 defense that year (2005), allowed only 12.6 points per game.

But it's all about the QB.

 

Being able to control the lines on offense and defense is a highly underrated ability. Think that Seattle team wins the SB without those 2 ingredients?

We have 4 plays and he's a vet....I wouldn't expected it to be too difficult

Hey ! Its five plays and i am have been working on a 6th !

I think after 8 seasons we have a pretty good idea what we have in Orton and I think he'll catch on fairly quickly. EJ was not drafted for what he did at FSU, or for what he's done here to date, but for what he could become. Everyone can have an opinion, but we have yet to see how this is going to turn out. I've got my concerns, but my fingers are crossed and I'm hoping for the best! And I won't find myself unemployed if I'm wrong! I love his maturity, work ethic, size and overall attitude.

Nate, let me guess: Are you working on running play number 5 to the opposite side? Do you think you can have that ready by the bye week?
