Twitter: Dallas Ran this same play 15 times

Cydios · Oct 18, 2021

3 times back to back on the final OT drive. I guess if it's not broken, why fix it?

J12B · Oct 18, 2021

The Pats were clearly trying to stop the run all game and were making Dak beat them

Dak easily accomplished that.

Keep doing it until they stop it.

cmoney23 · Oct 18, 2021

Great "man beater" play design when they have outside leverage.

You keep running plays until they stop you.

They had to. You gonna put 6 in the box with Zeke and Pollard running? You're gonna get gashed to a slow death. They had to depend on their DBs.

@Cydios Nice find. I imagine a lot of teams do this throughout the game. The WR read sequence changes based on the down and distance and the type of defense. Sometimes teams set up the opponents by running the same play but throwing to a different WR based on a trend or something they saw.

I wonder how many times they ran from this playcall.

Easily?

It took 50+ passes and OT to do it. It was anything but easy.

If the patriots were in the right defense to stop it. Dak and Kellen would have ran something else.

That’s what’s great about having a QB with Dak’s experience level and familiarity with the offense. He knows what plays to call and changes to make at the line, to account for the defense.

Dak, mentally is at a whole new level of play. It’s amazing.

Well let's not include the bogus referee calls, especially the 3rd and goal TD.

It would have been much easier if not for the Cowboys own blunderings including 100+ yards in penalties, redzone turnovers and HC mental miscues.

Romo said he thinks Dallas is setting them up for a play later. Said that Dak missed a wide open Lamb earlier but went to the safer throw to the TE.

Sure, but if they had let the TD stand , it would be blow out long before ( would have been 27-14) and Pats would have been forced to pass more and not run ( their running with OL holding - with no calls for us, is what gave them the 3rd score ) they went up 21-20.

Dont forget the penalties which took away so many plays 120 yards.

Also, looking at the formation, Zeke can run it up the center as an audible. He could come in as a blocker or as the video shows.. run out to the flat. So many options with this.. and it only works if you have a great oline.

I agree on everything except being in the right defense to stop it. They were in the worst defense to stop it. They were watching for the run. CD was running free on one DB. The play action held them up and it was over 1 second into the play when CD waved his hand. All Dak needed to do is hit him in stride.

Jake · Oct 18, 2021

Teams run the same play more often than fans think, because plays have options.

One time Dak takes the underneath pass to Schultz, next time he goes long to Lamb. It's still the same play.

That makes it even less easy, no?

I figured that would be the smart thing to do since we've won all the games where we got our running game going. It's a great thing to show that we can beat teams either way. Forces them to pick their poison ... and we still had decent success with the run.

All that happened though and all of it happening made it anything but an easy game.

Okay, but none of that matters because what happened happened.

All of that happening made this anything but an easy game.
