Schottenheimer: We will run screens and draws

[shabazz]

They are truly about to drop a Deuce on the rest of this league…….

wow what a revelation
what is next passing the ball too?

The Malachi Brothers wants their revenge for taking Pinky away from The Count!

Man so I take it you haven't watched the Cowboys or been around here the last few years? People here have been complaining that we don't do lead draws or RB screens anymore like we did in 2016. Especially RB screens. This is great news, Fonz.

The Revelation is that he understands what a screen and draw is for, and when & why to use them. He also said that when the run game is working he will not go away from it and make the other team stop it. Seems like basic math but somehow it eluded kellen the magnificent.

Good interview.

Felix Jones was the only back I can think of who we had success with.

Last one I remember is Zeke his rookie year against Pittsburgh took it to the house for like 70.

 

[Cowboyny]

Wasn't that under Linehan?

 

[Coogiguy03]

I like his energy, I would like to play for a coach like that.

But you are a coach, duh!!! #Couch lol

The last successful screen, and when zeke didn't have any money, and was 70 lbs lighter!!

 

[Aven8]

Wasn't that under Linehan?

Yes. My point was that’s the last successful one I can remember.

 

[Momanpr100]

Moore was infatuated with the TE screen for some reason

 

[Cowboyny]

Yes. My point was that’s the last successful one I can remember.

History tells us both MM and Schott have had success in other spots working the screen game.

I used to love the delayed draw play Dallas used to run. Dallas doesn't run draws anymore.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I like the idea of this....

That was Garrett and Romo that used to go away from it when it was working.

Screens and draws are only effective if you have a strong running game and a dynamic passing game.

If you don't, teams can just attack straight ahead to stop both.

Zeke was too slow for draws.

You need a back that can actually make people miss and outrun the defense. Zeke couldnt do that.

Yup…..they know when to run a screen, but fail to execute it successfully

 

[Flamma]

Zeke was too slow for draws.

Yeah, that would have been a 5 yard loss on every play. But he wasn't too slow in 2016. And Pollard certainly isn't too slow. The problem with those draw plays is the QB needs to be under center. Which creates another problem. You then need pass plays from under center.

.....who had the 2nd most productive offense in the league during his time as the OC.

All nonsensical fan criticisms get destroyed by that fact.
