News: Christine Michael already feeling comfortable with Cowboys offense

[bayeslife]

That's what he uses as a crutch when the players aren't good enough.

It's highly idiotic considering the numbers this offense has put up through the years.

Just point and laugh.

To be fair, last year was the first time Dallas placed top 10 in offensive yards since 2009 I think. I might have to fact check myself there, but I think those were the numbers I remember.

Beth I hear you calling ...........

As a member of the KISS Army, you are dead to me for uttering those blasphemous words!

Hey I like KISS, saw them twice in concert !!!

He says this offense is similar to Seattle's. They must do grade school schemes up there too.

Produced a lot of points last year.

2014 top scoring teams:

1. Green Bay - 486
2. Denver - 482
3. Philadelphia - 474
4. New England - 468
5. Dallas - 467
6. Indianapolis - 458

72 hours is actually pretty fast.

It's taken Weeden almost 2 years and he still hasn't learned it!

He knows it. But there is a difference between knowing the path and walking it.

Ah so...

 

[Risen Star]

RB is plug and play. This issue is way overblown.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't want our team to be a 10-6 team. I want our team to be 13-3. That is the difference between Michael and Randle/McFadden. I just hope the coaches can see that.

Say what? How did you come to this conclusion that Michael will give us 3 more wins than Randle and McFadden?

There are a lot folks here that have been itching sniff Michael's jock. I think the kid has the measurables, part of me wants to take him at his word but another part has me wondering if he could digest a new playbook in 3 days what was his excuse in Seattle for 2 years.

 

[Deep_South]

The good news is only three more days until we can see how our running game is for reals. If we average 3.4 yards a carry, Jerry himself will help Christine find a helmet that fits.

I'm optimism him about him as the next guy but goodness.......I honestly felt like he was brought in as insurance for when or if Randle or McFadden go down. Its like peopel are building him up just to knock him down soon as he doesn't fulfill these crazy expectations.

I think a lot of you guys forget that most the guys in NFL have been playing football for 15-25 years. That's a ton of football, countless hours of film, thousands of huddles and listening to play calls. What part of PROFESSIONAL is hard for y'all to understand? He has to know what the RB does, not the QB.

I am a smart guy. I played in the exact same scheme in HS for 3 years and it took me a week to know the play calls and maybe another 3 days to be in the right spot when a play was called. Our playbook had maybe 100-150 plays in it on offense and about 100 on defense since I played both sides I had to memorize 250 plays even though the terminology didn't change some of the nuances of the play did being backer they tended to change where i shaded in formations either left to right or 1 yard deeper or 1 yard shallower.

If you think you picked it up in 72 hours, then you didn't pick it up and you don't even realize it in my book.

I think what he means is he is trying hard. Not to insult the team or anything like that but bascially acknowledging as well, ITS RUNNING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is NOT the most complicated position on the team. I know i know i know, some people ARE really impressed some runnners go forward. Forward is a very complex direction and it takes years to master. He has a handle on the position. I dont want to scare anyone here, but you can look it in your stats too, but every team has running backs (check your rosters to, you wont find them under special forces) and im pretty sure what was asked of him in Seattle will be asked of him here. Go forward, get yards, and if you see the end zone, try to cross that SOB when you can.

Lords dont we know its a complicated system. Most running backs like to go backwards, but we are going to try a kooky spin here and ask our rbs to go forward. Its new age thinking i know. Very complex, high advanced stuff. It really is. But I think what Linehan is trying to bring to the Cowboys is running backs that go forward and move that pigskin right on down the field there. Now, compared to most of the NFL head coaches, ironically this only confused one coach, happened to be ours. I know, i found that ironic too. Than the team had to have a specialist come on and find this guy called Demarco Murrary and what did Linehan do, only the most far fetched idea that has never been used in the days of the NFL he gave that boy the football and told him to go straight, and if something got him way to bash it. And can you believe it. It freaking worked. Lords have mercy did it work. And those idiots with the stats and said Demarco runs into darkness didnt even bother feeling foolish because when you are that far gone, well theres no shame left when you are really not far from the bunch.

The funny thing is , the legendary runner. the guy named Lance Dunbar. yea, he wasnt that impressive, but teh guy who runs into darkness, he blew up the league, and probably some stats too, tho youd have to go look that up.

So im pretty much guessing. its not going to take a running back all that long to figure out the playbook. Because, and you can look thsi one up, ill give you the whole internet vs my one tiny fact. No NFL head coach ever gives back touch downs. So its a good bet, if the RB can do the whole forward running thing. We ll be happy to keep the yards and any touch downs he might get. And if that bothers you, well, youll forget you even had a problem with once his legs crosses that thing on both sides of the field call the end zone.

You must have had some fun with this, but the pass protections alone for an NFL team probably take more than three days to learn.

We'll know by when the team first uses him when their assessment of his mastery of the playbook matches his own. But the knock on this guy was knowing how to get from point a to point b. That's not something I want to shortcut if he's responsible for Tony's blitz pickups.

I wasn't trying to belittle the complexity of the position. I was just reminding people that he's a professional for a reason.

If we average 3.4 yards a carry I can assure you Murray's name will resurface on why we traded him. Probably from the same folks that been wanting him gone saying that he cost too much and could easily be replaced.

Something my kendo sensei used to tell me. Didn't understand it at first until I got my assed kicked.
