I've noticed that whenever the Cowboys motion a WR back toward the formation and have him stop outside or inside of the TE, it is always a run play.
Every time I see that motion, I think to myself that they can't really be running it again. Teams have to have seen that tendency on film and prepare for it. It seems like the runs always go for short gains due to that knowledge.
That roll out needs to freaking die
It's no mystery why our offense is so anemic. This scheme is infantile. Opposing players have famously pointed it out. Anyone on this forum probably knows the basic play 75% of the time based on down/distance and formation.
What you are talking about is play calling. Having a good idea of the play based on down and distance comes from knowing play calling tendencies. Whatever the formation, there are multiple plays that can be run from it, so it's really about knowing what Linehan prefers to run from those formations in particular situations.
Yep. I think a lot of fans tend you use the terms "playbook", "play calling" and "scheme" as if they are the same thing, and they aren't.Just as all teams have tendencies. It's called film study.
