Cole Beasley has helped offense evolve

[Galian Beast]

I've been saying for a long time that we needed to get Cole Beasley more involved on offense, and I think we're starting to see the byproduct of his involvement in December.

In September, he had 8 catches for 75 yards, 0 tds
In October, he had 7 catches for 45 yards, 0 tds
In November, he had 8 catches for 130 yards, 1 td
In December, he had 15 catches for 170 yards, 3 tds

His Decemeber production reveals the expansion of this offense and Linehand making better use of the tools at his disposal.

Another difference has been allowing Randle to get more involved. He had 20 carries in December for 136 yards. He has big play ability that Murray is lacking. He isn't as consistent a runner, but when the offense gives him the same holes as Murray, he doesn't waste the opportunities.

It would be great if he could expand Dunbar's role in January. If he has been holding back using Dunbar to create a new wrinkle in the playoffs, it's getting close to being the time to unleash him.

Dunbar is averaging 12.1 yards per reception. That's better than Darren Sproles has ever done in his career. The only problem comes with the limited opportunities.

When speed is infused into this physical offense, we see great results. We need more of that.

Could of started evolving with little Danny Amendola.. happy with Beastly and our emphasis on using him in the offense. About bloody time I say.

I think in the pursuit of the physical offense of the first half of the season we sort of forgot about the dimension Beasley can bring out of the S11 personnel. Earlier in the year we wanted to stay out of it to let Murray run more but couldn't with Beasley in the game because of how he gets overmatched as a blocker.

Later we found a role for him in the spread personnel with the empty backfield. It is really this personnel grouping that has largely been responsible for the offensive explosion in December.

I hope we manage to get him signed to a multi-year deal this offseason. He has excellent chemistry with Romo and is a bit of a matchup nightmare for the defense. He also is a great compliment to Dez and is very valuable against the blitz with how quickly he gets open and finds the soft spots in underneath coverage.
