I love the zoomed in horizontal scale that makes it look as drastic as the discrepancy between interceptions by the Dallas secondary vs. league leaders.

why not? we have Zeke for petes sake and those GB teams didnt.if teams continue to stack the box then we need to pass on early downs .

Yes they never had a strong RB like Zeke in GB, so pretty much had to pass more.
However we do have Blake Jarwin at TE as the starter for sure now over slow footed Witten. We have options. :laugh:

I like it.

Unless you’re trying to run out the clock, 2nd and 7 doesn’t thrill me. It’s practically a win for the defense.

And when the D expects a run (or at least has to honor it) as they would on 1st and 10, that makes it easier to pass successfully.

While I would love to see more unpredictable play calling, being saddled with 2nd and 10 effectively takes the OL and Zeke out of the game. Passes on 1st down need to be play action high percentage plays designed to get an easy 5-8 yards so that they can be unpredictable again on 2nd down. I really don’t want Dak trying to complete 15-20 yard throws on 1st down on a regular basis. That has 3 and out written all over it.
