2022 receiving yards by receivers (teams) aligned out wide

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Look where Dallas falls on this list compared to all 32 teams: 26th out of 32 teams.

Look where the other 2022 playoff teams fell compared to the Cowboys...



Very telling for the 2022 season, including playoffs.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a 1 year anomaly.

I'll bet plenty of years GREAT teams didn't go wide a whole bunch.

I'm sure there were years those great Patriots teams largely went to interior receivers (back in the Gronk, hernandez, and slot Amendola and Eddieman mentioned days). They had plenty years where their outside receivers were Plan C and D.

There's many ways to have a potent offense.

Weird that Philly is #2.


I would bet a good hunk of those are from smoke screens to the Wrs as they ran a ton of them.

Actually they didn’t. They were 10th in # of screens run with a below average success rate.

Hurts was also 4th in the NFL in Air yds / attempt. You don’t do that throwing screens

Not really hard to figure out, Lamb is their best WR. Lamb is most effective out of the slot.

This also tells you nothing about where the routes end up. How is an X or a Z running a slant or crosser any different than a slot running an out?

More hollow data brought to you by stat geeks that never played the game. People who get value out of this probably think PFF is great.

Half agree. Lamb is the only legit WR the Cowboys had last year, but as you stated, he's most effective out of the slot (A) running inside routes. Cowboys lack of a legit X or Z out wide hindered their ability to throw more outside the numbers in 2022.

Well Rush wasn't exactly lighting it up, even though he did pretty good with the W/L. Too lazy to verify it, but I bet he had something to do with the lower passing stats.

Yeah you saw what happened when team let him throw outside the numbers, he did not have the arm strength to get it there. Those outside throws are where lack of arm strength rears its ugly head.

This just in: Trading Coop and re-signing Gallup was dumb.

This just in.....it was all about the money, Coop's $22m or Gallup's $6.7m....just be thankful to Gregory's agent.

I see three teams in the top ten that played in the conference championship games.

Cooper had a $4,896,000 cap hit last year after he restructured. Gallup was $4,529,000.

This year is a big difference but of course, Dallas could extend or restructure Cooper again.

Was Amari (or Jerry for that matter) open to the extension?? I dont think his body language, stats, and accusations of not playing to his abilities was conducive to helping out.

How many buddy?

That shows32 things
1. Lamb isnt a good wideout, he is better in the slot.
2. all the teams at top had at least 1 really good wideout, tyrek hill, chase, jefferson, diggs,brown, lockett, most had a better qb than dak.
3. KM wasnt calling a lot of plays to wideout on the outside, and if not called, the qb isnt going to go there. Also for the ones called, most were misses.

The one play I remember was the one ty caught that helped win a game, is it coincidence that it was ty?
Dak isnt that good at throwing go routes or deep passes, so that could be why KM wasnt calling them.

Yall say the dumbest things

Not really hard to figure out, Lamb is their best WR. Lamb is most effective out of the slot.

This. So you have these factors that explain it:

-Gallup out then working back to shape
-Games with Rush
-Lamb strategically working from slot
-Lot of snaps with Noah Brown

Maybe it reveals your QBs inaccuracy, and lack of arm strength when throwing laterally. Dak likes the short middle, drags,wheels, slants and curls. These routes keep him from overthrowing, when he overthrows, his ball sails. When pressured, he's inaccurate, so keeping him in the box with his throws is key. Mobility would help as it did in 2016, but not sure post injury that's a option .

Hmm...I don't think so. Back in 2019 when Dak threw for over 4,900 yards, 30 TDs, only 11 INTs, a 65% completions percentage and a 99.7 passer rating, this chart shows his strength was throwing deep, mid and towards the sidelines. Sure doesn't show a lack of arm strength or accuracy either vertically or laterally.

I have been saying tgis since 2016 yet everyone wants to blame everyone else for Dak's inabilities
