Dallas needs to spam the Cole Beasley screen

[CATCH17]

Especially when we get across midfield and teams load the box against us.

He's a threat to get a positive gain every time we run that play and he's so small and shifty that he could break it for a big gain.


Denver uses this play as a staple and it keeps teams honest. Dallas should do the same.



BTW, Cole Beasley and Witten killed it last night.

 

[SDCowboy]

Yes please.

 

[Avery]

Beasley has some underrated hands.

 

[Setackin]

Do it! Colt are going to be terrified of the run and WILL be 8 in the box all day!

I think our preference when teams load the box on first down is to run right at them because they obviously can't be expecting that.

I like that we are not abandoning the running game, but we really need to take advantage of teams selling out to stop it on first down ... and not just by faking the handoff and looking for the big play to Dez, who teams are still going to double when we're only putting two players out in routes.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

What's a screen?

 

[Everson24]

We need to use Beasley much like the Steelers use Antonio Brown. And yes I am being serious.

Beasley seemed to get lost in the shuffle in the 2nd half; wasn't happy to see that...

 

[Crown Royal]

Dez & I think Tyron whiffed some blocks on that play, otherwise it was going for about 15 at least.

 

[PoundTheRock]

I've really not been a fan of Beasley, but I'll admit he's done a good job the last couple of weeks.

The Patriots run that play 2 or 3 times a game, especially on 3 and shorts

 

[Everson24]

The Steelers get Brown the ball in space as much as possible. Beasley has some pretty good RAC ability and a bigger catch radius than most think. A couple of years ago Brown was also a role player and now look at him. Beasley's ceiling is higher than most people realize.

 

[Jarv]

I would prefer Harris run that screen. Nothing against the Bease...But Harris is more of a play-maker.

Harris, Beasley, and Dez could all do it..

I hate that we see it maybe once a game and then it's just gone. It should be a staple.

Did you just put A. Brown and Cole Beasley in the same sentence?

 

[MissouriCowboy]

I was glad to see all the wideouts get catches last night. Escobar had some good blocks.

screens are very taxing on the linemen, my guess is that they run it sparingly in order to keep them as fresh as possible

So why can other teams do it and not us?

Is the Cowboys O-Line not in shape compared to other teams? Is that what you're saying?

Beasley can dunk a basketball, so I think many underestimate his leaping reach capability. He displayed that last night, and also on one of his recent TD's against the Giants.
