Audio: Marshall talks about beating Newman

[dcfanatic]

Marshall on Irvin Show
------------------

He talks about the TD play and about the Cowboys defense.

Irvin has a near coronary at one point while loving on Marshall, lol.

 

[stilltheguru]

Marshall may have overrated his value with the Broncos, but even he is a major upgrade over Roy.

 

[CATCH17]

Hey DC theirs a Broadus podcast on 103.3 website right now.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

Hey DC theirs a Broadus podcast on 103.3 website right now.

I just got off the phone with him, lol.

It's up now.

 

[EPL0c0]

When Denver needed a play, they went to their #1 WR, Brandon Marshall.

When Dallas needed a play, they went to their #3/#4 WR, Sam Hurd..twice in a row.

*cringe* Yup.

*cringe* Yup.

Well, that receiver DID get us into scoring position in the first place. I didn't see the others doing especially well, either. Still would've liked a pass to Witten/Bennett, though.

*cringe* Yup.

And had Hurd caught it no one would be second guessing it now. He had 1 on 1 coverage. Had Romo thrown to the other side and it fell incomplete would the conversation be "You can't be afraid to throw to the WR in single coverage?" One thing is certain when a play fails the 1st thing out of people mouth is bad play calling

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Nice catch and run by Marshall. And nice push off to get it all started.

I keep hearing that and when I see the replay I dont see it. Did that really happen??





On a side: I never knew why they called Brandon Baby TO. After that play I now know why - he WANTED that endzone and was going to get it.

Anyhoo

I was listening to ESPN radio yesterday afternoon, they were talking about the plays that were called. On the first play, the Broncos were blitzing from Romo's left side. So the protection was shifted to Romo's left side. That meant there should have been an unblocked man coming from Romo's right side. As a QB you are taught to throw to the side of the unblocked defender. SO, Romo made the correct read on the first play. The problem is that BOTH TEAMS CALLED THE EXACT SAME PLAYS ON FOURTH DOWN TOO!!!! All those plays we have, and all those weapons and we call the same play, twice in a row? There is THE PROBLEM!

 

[Seven]

He made no mention of the other 4 guys he burned? On the same play? Humble fella ain't he..................didn't think he had it in him.

See fade to the corner of the endzone call(s) one week earlier. (Williams should have caught the first one.)



Switzer-itis. :bang2:

It was after Romo scrambled out of the pocket and likely went down his receivers. It was a great individual play after the catch by Hurd, I'll give him credit.

BUT, Hurd was also lined up against Jack Williams that play, Andre Goodman's backup...NOT Champ 'Pro Bowl Caliber CB' Bailey.

And it's not so much when a play fails... it's when it fails after being called twice in a row. It's when you have their #1CB lined up on our #3/4 WR and our 6'3 #1 WR and our 6'6 TE are on the sideline with the game on the line, on the play that had Patrick Crayton, Miles Austin and Sam Hurd going for it. I honestly don't see what matchup advantages Garrett may have seen.

Maybe the size advantage? Hurd (6'2) Austin (6'3) and Crayton (6') vs Champ (6') Goodman (5'10) and Williams (5'9) respectively, but then you call a throw inside where size advantage is minimized? Hmm.

Not exactly the same play. Craytons route was different on the two plays.

It wasn't a pushoff, it was holding. I did the best I could here based off a youtube video. If someone were energetic enough, they could download the youtube video, grab frame by frame, then make a gif of this angle of Newman being jerked forward.

Pic shows the grip.

Exactly, and the Cowboys #1 WR - Jason Witten - threw the perfect block both times. Bennet had the chance to learn from the sidelines. Great call and read all the way around!

Oh come on.

It was within 5 yards.

Marshall didn't do anything illegal. He made a great play, end of discussion.

Wrong. Watch the replay. Not only does he grab and pull Newman, when he gets behind him he then pushes off for the catch. It was a push-and-pull maneuver. Whether Newman makes a play on the ball or not is up for debate, but without putting him off balance he definitely doesn't go yard on that catch.
