Everything in moderation - that's what makes things work well.

And keeps teams off balance - I thought Sunday was about right with the "special" plays given our success to the WR's

Was thinking that Moore would try different stuff. At first I was seeing a lot of motion and some misdirection and it seemed to have ended. Maybe I am wrong.
you mean you missed the entire game yesterday because they did a lot more of it then usual..

so yes you are wrong..they should do even more against NE, its the only way to survive ie Ravans ball..

Agreed, but against NE, from what I’ve seen, they are not going to be able to just line up and run it down their throats.

Well running it down someones throats has not been our specialty the last few weeks anyway. They are going to need to be sure to give Dak some time. Hopefully we will have a few more quick hitters in the plan to keep the pass rush in check.

I'm just happy they are finally doing the movement/shovel pass to Pollard now. I can't expect them to be too innovative.

5-6 Screens a game, including a screen or 2 to Jarwin. Pitches, stretches, zone runs. Get this paid offensive line moving.
Yea I agree. Pollard in motion will get these front 7’s out of the box.
Right now zeke is getting his 3 yards a carry out of sheer will but he hasn’t been able to get past the LOS with enough wiggle room to really open anything up.

I almost puke everytime i see Zeke run to the flat. For god sakes get them some real routes to at least threaten the defense whether the ball goes that way or not.

Pollard should straight up be using his WR background & 4.3 speed to school LB's & safeties.

dude I was just telling this to someone on youtube. people think zeke isn't trying or hustling, if you watch his runs there are no holes and he is driving for his 3-5 yards. we need space.

I keep calling for screen plays. At least 3 or 4 per game .

Also sweeps and tosses would be helpful instead of the between the tackle stuff every time...
Seems like when we run screens they work
We just don’t run many
Like blitzing

The lack of screens and swing passes is alarming to me considering how much the run game has struggled in recent weeks.

They finally get Zeke the ball on a screen and he scores the game-winner.

Unfortunately we have some real surface thinker around here.

They see Zeke struggle and automatically Zeke sucks.
They see Dak struggle and automatically Dak sucks.

If you expect people to look deeper at why the skill position guys struggle you are asking too much....

this doesn’t apply to everyone but many unfortunately.
