To wrap up the reveal (stay for the final crucial points, and parting gifts!)...

3/4 of the best/most important blockers on this play are Ferguson (tight end), Lamb and Noah Brown (WR). If it walks/blocks like a duck is it a duck? They are the "Long Range" Bombers.

Previous lines from this thread:
"Help me count here: An offensive line has a center, two guards, two tackles. Five, right?
"Is our brain stuck on five?"
"how about the number NINE"
"49ers get it. Shanahan knows nine" He requires his WR and TE's be exceptional blockers. Their run game is devastating because of it.
"Its something Dallas does better than Philly"


-Forget about jersey numbers. Forget about position titles. On every running play there are 9 blockers..same for many short passes. In very rare occasions even ten.
-When you judge an offensive line you fail if you fixate on five. They work is a unit and the unit is NINE

Counting correctly --- counting to 9 is VERY GOOD FOR DALLAS. I'll explain that next.

I'm torn between 2 possibilities :

1) This is a "Find the hidden link and win a prize" competition

2) The OP wants Reality to start a cryptic/surrealism zone.

You could say ten. I saw Dak blocking for Zeke.

Some say Dallas and Eagles o-lines are about the same caliber. Some say Eagles o-line is better.

These faulty-five-counters are frauds. We must assess the full blocking force, long-range bombers and short.

How does it compare when we count right?

More images in 10 minutes,
...and then the final reveal and my biggest point. Oh wait, what was my point? ;)

For the next 10 minutes I ask my gracious/angry mob reader to consider:
In WW II there were long range bombers and bigger, heavier short range bombers.

How were they different? How the same?
Heavier bombers could have their range extended by fitting extra fuel tanks.
Hope this doesn't ruin your point.

I love having Noah Brown on this team. Dude blows people up, does his assignments. He helps us win.

He's under-appreciated because he's a "long range" bomber...doing his nasty on the perimeter and downfield.

Oh...and the three-headed monster at tight end.... we likey.

Say it with me brothers: There be NINE.

He's more of a long range escort escort fighter, a P51 with external drop-tanks.
