Claiborne or Carr?

[TheMarathonContinues]

It's not rare. Defenses play base on average about 40% of the snaps.

Ehhh it depends on your opponent. Your not going to see the Giants go out there in two receiver sets 40% of the time.

Who will start when only 2 CBs are on the field?

Carr and OScan.

 

[AsthmaField]

how they use to play him they've always had him in the inside and Mo and Carr on the outside.

Do you remember after the St. Louis game in 2014 when Mo was demoted and walked out of the complex for a day missing practice? That was because they had moved Scandrick to his spot and Mo to the bench (ie when only two CB's were on the field, it was Carr and Scandrick).

When the opposing team put in 3 WR's, they brought Mo in off the bench and put him back in his normal RCB spot on the outside and moved Scandrick inside to cover the slot. Orlando was in on every snap. Outside in the base and in the slot in the nickle/dime packages.

Mo only came in when teams used 3 or more WR's.

Presumably, that is still the case. Carr and Scandrick in 2 receiver sets... Mo, Carr and Scandrick in 3 or more receiver sets.

X was asking if anyone thought Mo is a better corner and deserves to be in the game regardless of package with Carr coming off the bench in 3 WR sets.

X assumed Scandrick is going to always be in because Orlando is not only the best corner on the team... but everyone in the Cowboys organization and around the entire NFL know that he is the best corner on the team. So, I'd say X was correct in his assumption that the question didn't need to be asked about OS.

So really, it is just as simple as should Carr come in off the bench or should Mo?

If coaches mindset is anything along the lines of what have you done for me lately, it should be Carr and Oscan.

If that is the logic the Coaches use ("what have you done for me lately"), then based off of 2016 Training Camp and preseason games it should be a question of "Carr OR OScan" not "Carr and OScan". They would be asking who starts next to Mo Claiborne.

This thread was about the season, not the Giants.

Thanks for the help.

I feel as if I asked a question about Particle Physics and half of the audience consisted of Physicists and the other half consisted of 5th graders.

Cowboys depth chart has Oscan as the third CB. I understand he is our best CB according to most. In previous years he was considered our slot or third corner and rarely covered outside. I think that there was some talk about getting Oscan more action outside, but this depth chart kinda supports the opposite. Why wouldn't they just put Oscan as first string at left or right corner

 

[kiheikiwi]

To answer your question - it will be Oscan and Carr to start the season. IF Claiborne can keep his confidence up, he will take the job off Carr this year.
Of course in nickel all 3 play.

That depth chart has Ed Eagan on it.

The depth chart on the Cowboys site is rarely if ever accurate.

This one has Scandrick and Carr as the starters.

It does, and I think it's a lot more accurate and/or up to date.

Ourlads.com. It's a pretty good site.

Brandon Carr may be the starter this week, but Morris Claiborne can take the job if he's able to stay healthy.

That's how I see it too

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Carr is more consistent than Mo. Carr and Scan start

 

[CowboyRoy]

Who will start when only 2 CBs are on the field?

Carr is horrible. If they cut him tomorrow our team would be better off.

 

[DFWJC]

3rd cb, in passing situations

Scandrick as 3rd CB?


Don't think so, CC
