12 Personnel

[Texas_Pete]

Schotty wants to run the ball and have a balanced attack. I don't believe there is a CB1/CB2 duo that will be able to shut down CeeDee and Pickens. Dak needs to have time to throw to them.

However, I'm worried about Guyton and Steele's pass pro.

Enter in 12 personnel. I don't see Ferguson as a good run blocker, but Schoon (250lbs) and Spann-Ford (270lbs) should be.

I can also see them being used to chip elite edges to help out Guyton and Steele in the passing game.

My guess is that all 3 of these TEs will make the 53.

Looking for a bounce back year from Ferguson in his contract year. With the attention CeeDee and Pickens will get he should feast.

Can't say I would argue against your points.
Not sure how much 12 they will run or not.
I think that will be determined by the pass block abilities of Steele and Guyton this season. I think they both improve substantially from last season.
Agree that Ferg will have a good year.

12 personnel is great for pass blocking, but you only have 2 WRs out there. If the TEs chip the DEs it greatly reduces their ability to get out into the pattern.

Dak plays his best in 12 personnel but supposedly Mingo blocks well so they can do 11 personnel as well. The formations should be interesting.

I do like the unpredictability of it IF they run alot of misdirection and multiple other plays from it.

However if they just keep it vanilla and predictable I'm just for very limited use.

I was going to say it really depends if they can get these wr's blocking better. That will give them more flexibility to run in 11 personnel.

I'm very intrigued with Mingo. He's a big-bodied WR that runs good routes for his size. I'd presume he'd be a good run blocker since he's bigger than most DBs.

His camp battles with Tolbert for WR3 will be one to watch in Oxnard.

The Cowboys offense will probably look like the 2020 Seattle Seahawks combined with blocking schemes of the Cardinals. It should be better then we had last season.

Great points. The Cardinals had the 7th best rushing attack (~144ypg). Their leading rusher? James Conner (6'1, 233lbs**) averaged 4.6ypc.

**Now we know why they drafted Phil Mafah (6'1, 234lbs).

Cowboys gonna pound teams. With two elite WRs, teams cannot stack the box to stop it.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

All I can say is if they can get away with putting 12 men on the field and not get caught, then more power to them.

I was watching Skywalker Steele and Footsdaking on YouTube this morning and they mentioned this a lot of about them using more 13 personnel, I wish someone would put up a diagram of what this looks like, as well as 20 personnel or whatever other personnel groups there are

You must think the Cowboys are coached by bumbling idiots. If you see something I promise you the coaches see it too. It's either that or you are challenging for the title Captain Obvious. Guyton will be fine with a year of experience at LT under his belt. We don't need to reassign a TE to supplement the LT blocking task.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I thought we should have done this last year when Cooks was out and we basically didn't have a #2 WR. But with Pickens here now, I doubt it. They seem to love Tolbert for some reason.

So he'll be playing the Noah Brown role, when he comes in you know it's a run play automatically!

You didn’t sign 2 RBs, draft 2 RBs, and trade a 3 for a receiver just to run 12’s

Or maybe you did, bold strategy
