Heard on the radio this morning that Brady threw 59 times Sunday and had the ball out of his hands an avg. of 1.97 seconds per throw.

I hope our staff employs some of this for Weeden to help take the pressure off him. Quick short passing game to establish a rhythm and limit his need to go thru his progressions. With some deep shots to keep the D honest.
 
The problem with that is do you trust Weden to make the pre-snap read that Brady is making? I don't, give him some easy reads on a progression…check down if needed. No turning the ball over is more important.
 
Yep because the recipe they used in Zona was a total fail. He needs quick options, dump offs, pound the rock, and then go deep as the game unfolds.. If they hit him enough times he will fold on us...
 
I want to see a successful run game with some successful play action passes sprinkled in.

The Giants and Eagles were getting the ball out in about 2 seconds.

You would think all other 31 teams would copy that.....wait.....they don't have Brady.
 
I don't think we should require him to get the ball off quickly. We have the best pass-blocking o-line in the league by a wide margin. I think Weeden will have all day. Let him take it if he needs it.

No.


Yes. Please.


Agreed.


Weeden is more likely to lose gam(s) for us than "win them"
 
Dallas has the kind of corners to play press, and by then, the kind of defensive linemen to get pressure with only four.

And Sean Lee is the ideal linebacker against Brady.

Marinelli will cook something up.

I used to beg for more of this style of play when we had a bad Oline.


Guys like Risen Star said it didn't matter and nothing would work with a bad OL.


Well the Patriots have rolled out 3 rookies on the interior of their OL and dismantled a defense that has a huge advantage on the DL like it was nothing because they coached around it with a quick passing game.

We used to stick Phil Costa and the rest of the chumps out there and call plays the exact same way we do now.


There are ways around having bad OL play and the Patriots are putting on a clinic right now.

If they don't huddle the coaches could make the pre-snap read for him at the line before communications are cut off.
 
I'd try to hit TWill deep on the second play from scrimmage.

No need. TWill only needs to catch a quick slant (if defender playing off) and he can take it all the way. There is no reason for Weeden to hold the ball for long developing plays. Run the ball and quick hitters in the passing game and its a W. With this D, Cowboys O can be a little conservative (more importantly, mistake free).

except those reads could be wrong. Notice when romo is in he is making calls and such based on what the defense shows as the clock is winding down. Comms gets cutoff pretty quickly. 20 seconds maybe
