Cowboys Last in Passes Over 20 Yards

[sureletsrace]

I think he'll be more of a checkdown guy than he wants to be... but I don't think he'll neglect to sling it.
I sincerely hope he does- sling it.
I hope our line gives him the time and comfort to see patterns through.

I'll smoke Weed for Weeden!
******, I'll do it right now!!!

Go! *cough cough cough*
Weed!
En!

And that guy who's on the team that throws that ball made from pogs, I mean pigs!
Romo!
No.

Dangit.
My man is down. My man Romo... Damn. We talking about that guy who grows Weeden.
Johnny Weedenseed!

Don't count out Johnny Weedenseed and those killer slants from, not only TWill, but a more acclimated BButler also (I hope).
I bet this Wednesday's practice had a lot of Brice's integration into the offense.
All week, in fact.

Will C-Mike be active? As a betting man, I would say:
No.

Hitting the hooch hard tonight, eh?

Hitting the hooch hard tonight, eh?

11:00 AM every morning.
I wake up at 6.
Walk my dogs for one hour.
Work out (it's easier in the morning for me).
Shower.

Then, hopefully by 9 I am ready to sit down and consider how I am going to make my goals for the day.
These goals usually include certain outside forces and "hooch".

So, to answer your question:
No.
Not tonight.
I'm burning the candle at 4 ends everyday, tonight's no different. I just have a PC that's working again. Not working off a phone.
Enjoy me while I last.


EDIT: And I just keep liking you tonight, don't I?
You got me in a Like groove...

This means nothing IMO. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl last year without going deep.

 

[Rockport]

This is an interesting stat. Without Romo this might not change much, but can we keep winning without the deep ball?

Yet we're 2-0

 

[Wishbone82]

We are going to see Weeden take some chances downfield. He is a gunslinger at heart.

It really depends on the opponent for me. Like these next 2 weeks, I think he can afford to go into a more gunslinger mode. Teams like the Pats and Seahawks he is going to have be far more calculating in his risk.

 

[jazzcat22]

There weren't many opportunities or reasons to have needed to throw that many over 20 yards.
If it means we win, and rank last in this stat, I am fine with it.

Troy Aikman once said, if he were to be told, he would not complete a pass, but win the SB, he would take that every time.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Yet we're 2-0

That's the main thing. We're 32nd in the league, but Detroit is 31st and they're 0-2. I'll take the wins any day.

 

[ShiningStar]

wins matter. no one asks you how you won they ask you if you won.

 

[Nav22]

Fine with me. Take what the D gives you.

The safeties have stayed deep because they know what Romo's capable of. When they do that, the smart thing to do is burn them underneath.

I was going to mention that you hit 10 a while back, but my Like Counter kept me from doing such things.

 

[sureletsrace]

That's what she said.


I'm sorry. I really couldn't resist.

 

[Gameover]

We're gonna be near the bottom of the league as long as Dez is out.

They weren't looking downfield when he was in there in game 1. T. Williams is equally a big play guy, this is more than losing Dez Bryant. #checkdowntony

We never really had a chance to. He was out most of game 1 too being dehydrated and then he hurt his foot. It seemed like last year that we would set up the big play once teams started cheating up to stop the run. We spent so much time shooting ourselves in the foot that we didn't even get a chance to really set up the run.

When you combine the two games this season with the 2014 season, the Cowboys completed 9 passes for over 40 yards in which these passes are listed as being deep passes.

Terrance Williams caught 4, Dez caught 4 and Dwayne Harris caught 1.

Weeden was the QB on one of these deep passes to Terrance.

When you combine these deep passes with all other short receptions that were turned into gains of 40 yards or more, there are 13 total.

Terrance Williams has 5 of these, Dez has 5, Dwayne Harris has 1. So do Cole Beasley and Lance Dunbar.

Three of these passes belonged to Weeden. That's 3 of his total 41 pass attempts. Two of them went to Williams, the other to Dunbar.

Apparently, Weeden has no problem getting the ball deep to the receivers available on Sunday. He seems to have no problem putting the ball in a place that allows his receivers some running room.

I'll repeat one of my comments on a previous post:

I don't believe a player should be evaluated on such a small data sample from only a handful of plays. However, if some of you wish to continue, so be it.

Brandon Weeden has an overall passer rating as a Cowboy of 99.0, better than Tony Romo's career 98.7, which is ranked #3 all time in NFL history.

Last season Weeden started against the team with the best record in the NFL at the time and leading all NFL defenses in INT's with one of the top run defenses. He threw two 2nd half INT's but in all fairness the loss was a team effort, Baily missed a field goal, the Cowboys couldn't convert a 4th and 1 late in the game. The running game didn't exactly help him out, 94 total yards rushing.

How many QB's don't struggle the first game with a new team?

I will make this bold prediction:

Weeden will be one of the leagues top rated passers during the next 6 to 8 games and the Cowboy will be at least 8-2 after 10 games.

Thanks for those interesting tidbits. That really puts it in perspective. The 99.0 passer rating gives me hope.

Sooner or later we have to at least TRY to throw it deep, or its gonna bite us in the ***.

 

[BigStar]

Williams, Dunbar and hopefully Brice Butler. Is Street considered a speedy guy? I haven't seen enough of him to know.

Street is definitely a possession receiver but has trouble getting any separation. Maybe he can find a niche as a heady Crayton type of player who just knows how to find the soft spots in the zone, but as of right now, he hasn't shown too much. Butler is def. a speed threat and think he ran under 4.4 @ the combine.

 

[JDSmith]

Every moment is a moment to worry.
How much effort do you want to exert into worry on a Wednesday evening over this?
That is the question, poor Yeoric.

I knew him, Horatio.

And I thought it was Yoric... freshman English was a LONG time ago.

 

[CF74]

T-Will once said I gotta keep it in his range...

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

That will have to change starting this weekend. Teams respected Romo and his ability to hit the big play. Weeden is known for being rattled if his first or second read is not there, so defenses will start crowding the LOC to cut off those routes and dare him to beat them with his arm.
