A lot of 1 yard dives again, but the offensive line started to impose it's will late and those were morphing into 6 yard gains.

I expect to see the exact same thing this weekend. I think our offensive line is going to eat their front 3 for lunch early and often.

No wildcat formation?

It is an interesting formation because of the unbalanced line.

DANG IT! Thanks. I didn't check how many filenames I had copied-and-pasted and left out eight plays. The main post has been updated now.

Here's the one play which we ran out of the wildcat during the mid third quarter. Tashard Choice took the direct snap, faked it to Felix Jones, who went in motion from the slot, and gained ten yards on the trap play:

Interesting stuff! I had not realized that we had a fullback in so many plays.

Thanks for breaking it down. :dance2:

Dallas has stuck with their offseason strategy by using John Phillips and Jason Witten in the backfield a lot. Martellus Bennett has had a smattering of plays where he's has lined up behind Romo as well.

I think that it has help keep Deon Anderson both fresh and hungry so far this season whenever he has been the lead blocker. He's done a good job to this point.

Thanks for breaking it down. :dance2:

Gracias, de nada. Now that I've created custom macros for the formations along with a spreadsheet to reduce a lot of the creation time, I may go back and do the Tampa Bay game as well, along with future games.

I love the full house set with 2 TEs in the backfield -- are they blocking? are they going into the flats? are they going vertical? nobody knows!!

I want to see more Counter/Misdirection this week...when Gurode and Bigg pull to the left behind Kosier it's ugly for the defense.

My favorite formation that I have seen this season has been this one:

http://i356.***BLOCKED***/albums/oo4/DallasEast1701/Running%20Plays%20CAR%20at%20DAL/2TE_2WR1RB_21.png

It has the potential of being a nasty run play, with both Witten and Martellus motioning from the wing to the backfield as blockers. Carolina clogged up the middle for Choice, but even so, he bounced the run to the outside for a huge gain. With the way the offensive line has been blocking so well, this full house backfield could pay off big time during a game.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

hahaha you posted the formation itself with comments and then quoted me

It's just a really nasty formation...I would like to see both TEs motion to the backfield, and then us run a misdirect/playaction to the left with the RG pulling, and have one TE go out into the flats on the opposite side...get the whole defense going one way for an easy dump-off on the right side pitting Bennett or Witten against a CB to make an open-field tackle for the stop.

Perhaps your cool diagram skills could show what this might look like? :

Not today. After rushing through the game replay late yesterday, I promised myself no more formation pics for at least another day or two.
