BTW, Dallas had AT LEAST 9 defensive TDs last year 15 games into the season, which count in the OFFENSIVE PPG total. This doesn’t include the short fields generated by the TOs created by the defense giving the “Dak-led” offense opportunities to score. Dallas had 35 TOs, minus the 9 that resulted in scores.
If you adjust for TOs, Dallas last year drops its position as the “number 1” scoring offense to at least 4 or 5 and if you drop the 8 TDs against the bum Commanders and third-string Eagles, one begins to gage how over-rated this “elite, franchise” QB is. Dak only had a whopping 32 TDs thrown in 15 games, as if these are elite numbers. And they are all against BUM teams anyways.
Facts are, if you run more 12 personnel like they do with Rush, you are limiting the passing game anyways, whether for Dak or Rush. Rush’s scoring was in part, related to the simplified passing schemes and options that one naturally falls under, when you run two TE sets.
