Tall (lengthy) players struggling vs speed on the field

[Cowpolk]

Tall lengthy sprinter VS speed on the track.

@Dak_Attack_09 You are worried about defense? Who cares about defense when Dak and the offense are laying 40-burgers on every team? Just need the defense to keep a team under 30 and it is game over. Even last year's defense could have done that.

You do agree that there is no defense that can hold Dak and this offense under 40 points, right?
So, relax.

So, what your saying is the Cowboys should only sign or draft short players with short arms

got it

Everybody knows 5'4" players are harder to find and have quicker reflexes.
Just imagine a whole slew of them little suckers swarming on you.
Them little ankle biters can be nasty!

We should find 7 of them and call our defense the Chihuahuas Hek even that is better than Hot Boyz

 

[john van brocklin]

Exactly, and I'd add not having stiff hips.

True

 

[john van brocklin]

...if combined with football l.q. And anticipation from instincts and tape study

Now we're talking

Either that, or he just wants to poke and prod Cowboy fans...

 

[john van brocklin]

They are not fast they have average speed for NFL standards.

Well that's not optimal

The Doomsday Chihuahuas has a ring to it!

 

[john van brocklin]

too tall Jones was the greatest run defender at DE i ever saw.
boom.

He had great pass rushing skills as well!
Ask Craig Morton

I would like to bring attention to my fellow Cowboys about some of the smokescreen McCarthy & Quinn are trying to sell through the media.Recently there has been overhyped about size and selective plays being shown to create a sense of hype about lengthy players.

I hate to break the news to you but 70% of the time those same lengthy players struggled all day vs speed on 1v1 drills and team activities.

Specifically Nahshon Wright, Isarel Mukuamu & Jabril Cox

The game of football is played on a field that is 100 yard x 53 yards not a sliver of sidewalk that is 3 yard wide & 100 yard deep.

All of the players I mentioned got their ankles broken by Tony Pollard & Amari Cooper in pretty much every matchup. The length (Z-axis) is useful when going in a straight line for QBs to throw but when receivers cuts in , out or cross them over with double move the length (Z-axis) is useless in X & Y direction when the receiver has 5 yards of SEPARATION and those extra 4” are useless.


In addition Kelvin Jospeh (5’-11”) put the CLAMPS on CD Lamb (6’-2”) in their matchup, but McCarthy was to egotistical to release that footage.


I’m tired of all the talk I want to see factual trial of Speed vs Size in training camp specially more of Kelvin Joseph vs CD Lamp to set the record straight.


In addition DE Golston & Basham long arms didn’t do poo against OT Knight, Steele & Ball and got stoned walled during pass rushing drills.

Where do I sign up, to get stoned walled? And when I am sober, will they let me out? It's not a requirement but they will have to keep me stoned because I get crazy behind walls.

The highest scoring offense in all of nfl history only hit 37.9 ppg. Which means on average they were prevented from hitting 40, and that’s the greatest ever.

Even 2019 when you were first in yards, you were 6th in points at 27.1. Not even 30 ppg. What is the reason? Time. You don’t have enough time to score 40 because unlike the 2007 Pats or 2013 Broncos, you are devoted to feeding your 15m$ RB. Zeke is there to eat the clock and you simply won’t be able to put up that many points before it runs out, as you’ve proven before.

So there are 27-30 defenses that can keep you under 40.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I think the players we drafted will do a fine job. I'm looking forward to this season.

 

[Maxmadden]

Not only that but Harvey Martin had 23 sacks one year.

Oh yeah I forgot, the NFL forgot to count that year.

You are just a Dak-hater.
And that $15M RB will be breaking some long ones this year. Did you not see the videos of him 'working it' and then the video of him juking Jaylon out of his jock?

It always bothered me that the NFL doesn't have statisticians re-watch the old games and count the stats. I assume there is video of the games.

Rookie corners struggling early against vets without pads? Who would’ve thought it???

Prove it.

Unless you are at practice just shut up.

I was waiting on the evidence. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

As an aside, what in the world provokes people to make unsupported claims? So bizarre to me.

 

[Kwyn]

Yea like McCarthy wasn’t allowing media in last year, and was secretive about all of the practices as if it was an advantage.

How many route combination did they really defend besides a go route?

Doubt pretend that you see this as anything other than a bunch of lines pointing into nowhere
