Are the Dallas Cowboys satisfied with their receivers?
With the increased emphasis of the passing game, it’s hard to find successful teams that don’t have an effective aerial attack. Glancing at a couple of recent Super Bowl winners that didn’t sport high-octane passing attacks, the ’13 Seahawks, who were a 26th ranked passing unit and the ’12 Ravens, who were ranked 15th didn’t produce a 1,000 yard receiver, but had a strong ground attack that kept their quarterbacks (Joe Flacco Ravens, Russell Wilson Seahawks) ahead of the down and distance.
The effective ground attacks also set up the play-action pass for Flacco and Wilson – another factor in route to the Ravens and Seahawks’ championship runs. Primarily, it was a balanced attack that helped both offensive units function.
Of the four teams remaining that’ll be playing in the conference title games this weekend, the Patriots are the lone team that hasn’t gashed defense’s on the ground. That’s because they don’t need to – their system is more so based on using a quick rhythm passing attack for Tom Brady to get the football to his outlets in short spaces to gain yards after the catch. The Panthers averaged 142.6 per game on the ground, the Cardinals 119.8, and the Broncos 107.4. The Panthers’ offense uses lots of deceptive concepts, the Cardinals and Broncos are diverse with viable backs and threats at receiver. Going inside the numbers will always show you production, but scheme and how talent is utilized needs to be looked at. You can win big without bona fide receivers, but it also helps lots when you have pass catchers that stress the backend...
