Cowboys Going Big Body on Offense

[T-RO]

We did. going off the OPs stat if we averaged ‘1.5 big boys per snap’ that means half the snaps one big boy and half the snaps two (ignoring the 3TE and no TE packages for arguments sake). So on the half of the snaps when we had 1 big boy, that means we had 3 WRs. I suspect this is not very different than what we normally did the last couple of years. So according to this stat you are right and we were in 3 WR sets half the time. Now if the games weren’t blowouts we likely might be in 3 WR sets even more often.

Obviously two games is a small sample size, and the games were unusually lopsided. So we'll see more as season unfolds.

There have been 362 WR snaps no far. As noted previously: 145 offensive plays. We are averaging 2.5 WR deployed per play.

This doesn't seem like a lot, given the blowout nature of the two gams.

ST is irrelevant. Offensive snaps per game for this group is basically the same as it was last year

2022:
Schultz 76%
Ferg 40%
Hendershot 26%
Mckeon 14%

2023:
Ferguson 65%
Hendershot 41%
Schoonmaker 32%
Luepke 15%

Yes, as I mentioned earlier, Moore loves his tight ends, so I didn't see the emphasis on big bodies as a new thing, but something a bit contrary to most NFL teams.

There are other teams that love their tight ends too. Seattle one of the most notable.

I don't really see the point of having ST snaps factor into this - that's not that really about the offense.

They are displayed but not included in the subtotals or grand totals.

We probably need a few non blowouts to get a good feel for the game plan

Yeah, but what is the fun in that.

Gallup..... What happened to this dude. He was such a good possession receiver with sideline catches. I know he is still somewhat healing and getting his legs back, but they need the guy otherwise those snaps can go to Tolbert.

Defense travels. As well a good run game especially in colder weather, and bad conditions.
We all know this.
So keep this up and get that run game going. Keep working it. As they had no PS snaps together.

Wear out the San Francisco defense and see what that then does!

His stats aren't good. His PFF score isn't good and he often fails the eye test. So yeah. That contract Cowboys gave him is now stained with regret.

I think mike has a lot of tricks in his bag, and because of the leads so far this season, he has been testing out his bag of tricks for the unproven or lesser talents to see what he can use
