First Play 9/5/12 Vs Giants?

[superjoe]

What’s your prediction for the first play of the game on kick-off night?​

I say we start on defense and baring a run stuff, I see that boys going with pressure up the middle and left with a sack by either Ware or Ratliff...​

I think our secondary will play allot better and will catch allot of teams by surprise. It will take the league a few weeks to adjust to having to get the ball out fast and having to attack our defense with a more balanced approach. No more third and long conversions, I expect that rate to be cut in half.​

I really like our young defense, the only thing that worries me is depth upfront. We are good at middle linebacker as I think Connor and Carter will be rotated in allot but we get a huge drop off in talent after Ware and Ratliff on the line and outside pass rushing LB.​

If we are healthy, I fully expect the secondary to cover a good 1-1.5 full seconds better on intermediate to long routs in first and second downs, and our run defense should be stout…this will be good for Spencer going into a play to pay year.​

Go Cowboys!​

 

[The Emperor]

Ahmad Bradshaw for 3 yards on a wham.

I'll go with the whole first series.......

KO to Giants returned to the 21.

1st and 10 Manning looks to his right for Cruz on a quick slant and Carr jams him so tight, there's nothing there. Hatcher gets to Manning forcing him to throw it away before he can even look to his 2nd option.

2nd and 10 Manning takes a 5 step drop pumps to Nicks on a slant n go and goes deep to him against Claiborne. Claiborne runs step for step and deflects the perfectly thrown ball.

3rd and 10 Manning takes a deep drop has time to check three options all well covered and gets sacked by Ware in 3.5 secs.

Same here! Maybe I shoulda gave the 3rd down coverage sack to almost Anthony.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Manning, first down, play action drops back, Bruce Carter is in his face, he throws an ill advised slant to Manningham off his back foot that is so poorly thrown both Sean Lee and Brandon Carr knock each other off the ball for and easy INT and the play ends in a harmless incompletion.

They go on to kick a field goal. 3-0 Giants.

Some things never change.

ooooooh nice one, gave me goose bumps like i was watching it happen, cuz you know they are going to test Mo if he is out there in the first series.

 

[superjoe]

Nah it'll be a touch back.

guess I shoulda specified first NON special-teams play :

 

[Tom [Giants fan]]

he throws an ill advised slant to Manningham

I will bet anything you want that that doesn't happen.

 

[AbeBeta]

I'd go right back to that play where we had Austin open in the first game against them in 2011

Exorcize them ghosts.

 

[Frozen700]

Run up the gut for a gain of 2 with Bradshaw....

2nd down...3 Wide....Quick Out route for a gain of 4

3rd and short....3 Wide...We bring pressure, Spencer first to pressure, Manning tries to connect with Cruz on a slant...a ton of contact between Cruz and Carr, refs throw no flag, pass falls incomplete

Manning and Cruz have a bewildered look as if there was supposed to be a flag

Baily comes out to attempt a 45+ yard field goal...

[Supercowboy1986]

I think it would be awesome if Romo rushes for a TD against the giants. Dont get it twisted everyone I am not saying he should be scrambling around like Vick and have multiple rushing TD, but I would be happy to see his first TD be a rushing TD against the giants. I don't know why but that would give me a lot of pleasure knowing that Romo ran it in against that giants "amazing" D-line

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Until proven otherwise:
OFFENSE:
1st down, handoff to Murray up the middle, gets blown up for a 3 yard loss.
2nd down, swing pass to Murray, gain of 4.
3rd down and 9, 5 yard pass to Witten.
4th down punt.

DEFENSE:
1st down RB hit for a 4 yard loss.
2nd down, holding on the Giants, 10 yards loss.
2nd down again, incomplete pass.
3rd and 24, all out blitz, never comes close to Eli, Scandrick falls down, 30 yard pass play to Nicks. 1st down!
