What are cut splits Schotty says he likes

[Parcells4Life]

Schotty referenced his offense will feature cut splits. For those more well versed in X’s and O’s what does that mean?

I’ve seen some on twitter say it’s like the Rams where the WRs are close to the line. What advantage does that give? Seems it would create more congestion for the run game.

He may be talking about what's also known as a reduced split. What it does is keep the sideline from being an extra defender. When a receiver uses a wide split, he's limited by the boundary, so while he can go deep, he can't go wide. The reduced split gives the receiver more options to get away from the defender to the outside.

Of course, it does allow more defenders to stay inside the numbers against the run, but if you have a back who can take the edge and a receiver who's an effective blocker on the edge, that can be used to your advantage.

Broaddus and the guys talked about it yesterday, he said with Mike we had wide splitz, with Shotty it's going to be tighter splits and more play action

BS has been a garbage OC his whole career. Cut splits? Nonsense. Right up there with position flex. Just more nonsense from these losers.

Reasons to get us happy only for them not to do it

It means the Cowboys are about to unleash Mingo!

I think the only 'Unleashing' Mingo is going to get is when he's released

Michael Irvin knows.

Means we're drafting a RB in the first. I'd rather get a monster DT but we don't do that right. *Waves at Mazi*. Though he did improve last season.

Depending on what they to with Odiggy, the Cowboys might need 2 DT's. Should have last year. HAs nothing to do with Mazi. That position has been ignored for years.

Not necessarily, but does give us an idea of what kind of back.

You are exactly right .......

A cut split in football is when a wide receiver (WR) cuts their split towards the offensive line. This is also known as a reduced split

• The split is the distance between the offensive line and the sideline.
  
  
• A cut split is when the WR is closer to the formation.
  
  
• The defense can use the split to diagnose a play.
  
  
• A cut split can indicate that the WR will run a drag route, an outside breaking route, or a quick flat.
  
  
• The defense may respond with outside shade coverag

It means tighter formations which can help open up those outside routes and even make crossing routes happen a half second quicker. The obvious downside there is the middle of the field becomes more congested. Typically this is good news for WRs as it can open up the route tree. Not so good news for a guy like Ferguson who really thrives on finding the holes underneath. Ultimately I dont think there is a huge difference in the end results, but it could be an indicator of the type of players the Cowboys might go after.

They have a slotted amount for that position. I don't think they pay him. This may be the off-season where they see the way they've been doing it doesn't work.

Wasn't Mazi around pick 26? At 12 we are getting a true 1st round grade.

 

[cmoney23]

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe "cut splits" is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

I really understood the thinking on the Lance trade. It didn’t work out, but that happens. I don’t get the Mingo trade at all.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don’t get the Mingo trade at all.

Pre-draft the Cowboys really liked him and gave him a 2nd round grade. Getting him with a 4th rounder (and on a rookie contract) as a replacement for Cooks this year made sense to them. Until we get into real football in September, we just have to wait to see how it all works out.
