12 personnel can protect LT but need 4.3 speedy WR on the field

Long as the WR has speed & quickness it work.

Tony Pollard & Turpin are best suited for that while CD & Gallup will be used to change tempo.

I have a slightly different plan in mind. I'd probably use Pollard as a Sproles-type back. What I mean by that is he'd be used more for screen and short patterns to take advantage of his speed. For example, when we line up in shotgun, I'd have both Zeke and Pollard in the backfield. Zeke would block, as that's what he does best, and Pollard go out for a pass. I would also motion Pollard out at times to both gauge if the defence is running man or zone, and, when we use him as a proper WR to your point, it'd help him to find the best matchup for him.

Turpin, I agree is someone we will need for his speed. I'd be careful though not to overuse him. We need him more in the return game. However, in spots, I'd use him as the slot WR. CD, Gallup (when he returns), and Fehoko would be my outside WRs.

They were most likely going to be running heavy 12 personnel anyway, absolutely no reason they would have to have a 4.3 receiver to do so lol!

Turpin will probably get 3-5 offensive touches a game. Dak-attack will get his wish.

Works when you have good WR or speedy WR. Is Moore smart enough to get the ball out quick. We don’t have speed.

CeeDee, Pollard, eventual Tolbert and Turpin all EXCEL at YAC. You don't have to get them the ball 25+ yards down field. You can get them the ball at the LOS and let them take it 25 yards.

Gallup returning will be our deep threat, until then expect running, screens and stretch passes.

So you are anticipating Moore being creative?

Ok Ill bite.

What happens in week 7 when the NFL figures his new scheme out and he doesnt change?

Same thing that happened last season. Schedule gets easier but win quality goes down, cowboys still win the east because Hurts is NOT a QB1 but exit the playoffs in either WildCard or Divisional.

I'm not anticipating creativity - I DO think they will have a better plan of attack against shell coverage this year than last, and ideally by week 7 Gallup is back and the Tackle situation is at least mitigated. But offense is no longer the strength of this team.

I agree.

That is why I have been screaming since the draft that I wish they just built the defense around Parsons.

I think 12 pkg was already gonna be a big part of the offense
Now it may be an even bigger part because it helps the tackles
Turpin can be a weapon but I expect they use him sparingly just because he just finished a full season and now going into a full 17 game nfl season

2 TE will make this line better and help protect & develop the tackles. But it requires speedy WRs like Turpin & Pollard to threaten defenses deep so they can’t stack the box or blitz consistently.





LOL............Turpin is the key!!!

But didnt you know that Zeke is faster than Turpin?

Another laughable post.

So you'd rather he just be predictable like Jason Garrett from the outset????

CZ is crazy, every NFL team worth their druthers ADJUSTS at mid season if not sooner.

So explain why Moore didnt last season. Did you see the numbers after the patriots game? Moore was doing an Garrett impression the second half of the season
