Tell that to JasonYou can most certainly go on 4th and short when you have the best runblocking oline in the league.

We’re just going to cut our best WR, keep the same coaches, and Garrett is going to snap his fingers and suddenly become a strategic playcaller that’s aggressive on 4th down.
Having experienced backup depth at QB isn’t a bad model to copy — especially when it results in a SB win.who gives a F what Philly thinks/does. I dont want to know much less copy anything they do
When we have been successful running the ball we have also been aggressive on 4rth down and short. This is nothing new...

absurd and pitifulThe Eagles are a high IQ, progressive, and innovative organization. The Cowboys are a low IQ and archaic organization.
I have no interest in copying the Eagles. I have great interest in Dallas doing what the numbers suggest we do.
I provide the Eagle’s merely as an example...a case study.
Dallas has not really been that aggressive.
Philly went for it on 4th down 26 times, succeeding 17 of those. Dallas was 8th in the league in attempts...making 10 of 18.
But it’s the *circumstances* that are more telling.
Consider some of Philly’s attempts:
4th and 8 on opponent’s 43
4th and 5 from their own 49!
4th and 8 from opponents 32
4th and 5 from opponents 17
4th and 6 from opponents 40
...etc

Of course, if 22 seasons with no advancement past the 2nd-round of the postseason really floats your boat...
I am all for the Cowboys going for it more often on 4th and < 2 yards. I can't get behind them doing it on 4th and 3+ yards. I just don't have confidence in this offense to move the ball through the air when the defense knows it coming. I don't think they are built for that.
We were tied for fifth in the league last year when it came to fourth down conversions per game.
Yea only idiots graduate from PrincetonThe Eagles are a high IQ, progressive, and innovative organization. The Cowboys are a low IQ and archaic organization.
Yup, philly also was considering the other side of the coin with their top tier def able to limit damage to a fg if they didn't convert down and distanceThey can only do that if the defense is playing well, and they can score at will
