Faulk on Rich Eisen Show

[jday]

Interesting take on Dak and Zeke.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Bingo.

 

[percyhoward]

There's a popular misconception that we're running more with Prescott than we did with Romo. This is our play selection so far after removing plays when leading by more than 10 points inside the last 5:00 of the game.

2016
run 179 (48.4%)
pass 191 (51.6%)

2014
run 468 (48.2%)
pass 503 (51.8%)

What's missing from those stats are how many times the team is currently facing "stop-the-run" fronts vs what they were facing in 2014.

Haven't heard that misconception at all.

Rarely do I agree with the well documented Cowboy hater Faulk.

This is one of those times however.

So you think we faced more "stop-the-run" fronts with Romo?

 

[Tabascocat]

Is Marshall willfully forgetting 2014? It seems to me that Zeke might even get more yards if Romo were playing due to a bigger threat to pass.

Oh, shave the beard man!

??
I think we're seeing more stop-the-run fronts with Dak, but we're running anyways.

 

[RomoFor6]

Dak has to learn to audible out of 8 man boxes. Very frustrating to see a stacked box and we run it anyway

I'm sure that will come as he gets more comfortable with what he's seeing and confident in checking out. As of now, his playing career consists of just six regular season games.

 

[FiveTime]

I think it is probably the opposite. When Tony (and Dez) is playing they see more pass protection and they were able to take advantage of it with the run.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Something which is benignly dismissed here on this board.

"Sometimes your guys are just better than the other guys." And conversely, "Sometimes their guys are better than your guys."

I know, I was just trying to figure out EGG's logic.

 

[Jstopper]

Interesting take on Dak and Zeke.

I think that can go both ways. With Romo and Dez back in the lineup teams won't be able to stack the line because that leaves single coverage for Dez to feast on, which in turn leaves open space for Zeke to run through which could get him even more yards

 

[Sportsbabe]

Everybody is an expert when it comes to the Cowboys... Men lie, women lie, numbers lie.

Just win baby

These are my exact thoughts. I really believed I was going to hear some hate there.

 

[reddyuta]

Is Faulk implying that what Tony does at the line is disadvantageous to the team or Zeke? ..Romo would have killed the Giants in the opener for bringing their Safeties up.

That's true with either QB.
