i still remember the fluttering passes down the field to dez.
did not look so good.
not enough time.
I remember him hitting on one, in full stride and a TD toss for a good distance.............couple more of those.

He's gonna have to do that if he wants to take the pressure off of him.

Ol' #91 LP Ladouceur, baby! :laugh:



Hell, if LP can manage to snap the ball in a non-ST situation and hold his ground for a few seconds at center, maybe it could work. Then use Frederick elsewhere on the line as an extra lineman instead of Witten perhaps.
LOL...

Move him a few yards back and his chances are better with the extra time - IMO.

Can you imagine the 1st time we would do something like that?
The D will probably call a timeout lol

I get ya.

I'm just saying Dakota HAS to take shots down the field and I do believe the play calling is there for that, Dak just needs to see it.

Sling it...........within reason, of course.

Completing few quick slants and screens would go long way beating the blitz.
We have one of the most physical and great RAC WR in Dez. For the life of me, I can't understand why they don't have him run slants much.

according to some, eagles were stopping the screen despite the blitzing.
i am not sure.

this is a gadget play, but actually i dont see a downside to using it often.

When did we run a screen pass vs the Eagles blitz? I must of missed that play.

I do remember vs a non blitz the Eagles tried to cover Zeke with a LB and he had a big gain.
