Game Review: Cowboys vs Cardinals

[DandyDon52]

I hate that out route to the sideline. It's high risk for a short gain. I definitely don't like it with a small WR. It's not really the same route that we often see Beasley run. Above all else, I hate that route with Patrick Peterson as the CB. The fault was on the WR (and OC) not the QB, IMO. Often QBs are late on that throw but Rush threw it early, the WR just over-ran it a bit and didn't box out.

lol I agree with you , but then my question to you is why is linehan so stupid as to call that play at that point ?????
Several flaws there, that as a longtime coach and former player, he should see ??
That is what gets me, linehan and marinelli, know football, thats all they do, so how can they make the really dumb moves ?
That is why they both failed at HC, something is missing.

JG has always like sideline passes, along the sideline, and to the sideline, and they tend to shy away from the middle of the field, which
to me is a mistake.
madden didnt like the sideline stuff, as it results in a lot of catches or passes out of bounds.
Jg think it means less ints, which it does, but that is flawed thinking, and that out pass is not safe as we saw in this game.

Without game planning it's difficult to judge WRs. We won't really know about guys like Tavon Austin until the real games start.

The way JG and other coaches use PS games, you cant really learn much at all.
I dont see much reason to even play them the way they do it, pretty much a joke.
until the real games start...... we wont know anything until then.

Just to explain, if Rico only plays with the scrubs, he isnt being evaluated in a manner where you could see
if he can play with the prime time guys. So what is the point in playing him at all?
Same for other players, no matter how good they do, people will say yeah but that was with the scrubs lol.

Then playing rod smith with the 1's is kinda stupid, same for swaim, we already know about these guys,
They have played in real games, so why play them over say Rico and Jackson, who we havent seen in real games
or with the 1's.

To me this game was a golden opportunity to play some lower guys against the cards def starters.
But dallas coaches are not innovative enough to see that.
I would have started mike white too, he needed the eval more than rush.

We had five receivers in patterns spread across the field on that play -- one whose pattern went to the left sideline, one between the left hash and number, one between the hashes (coming out of the backfield), one between the right hash and number, and one on the right sideline.

Rush chose to throw it to the guy on the right sideline.

are you looking at a coaches film ??
you cant see that in tv game film.
That was probably the primary target based on what he saw at the line.
Also rookies and guys wanting to please coaches just do what they have been taught.
Something in his teaching told him to throw that pass, so it comes back to coaching and teaching,reads etc.

my point is that should not have been a option at all, too many things wrong about it.

Somebody tell Rush to NEVER float an out route.

Rush floats all his passes.

I think on the INT on the out thrown by Cooper that the coaches were testing his arm strength. Looks like they got their answer.

If Tavon Austin vs Patrick Peterson, running an out route, is the primary target on any pass play. That is incredibly stupid. May or not be Rush’s fault.

But I can’t imagine why any QB would throw against Patrick Peterson as their primary read. Unless the WR going against him is Antonio, Julio or ODB.

Tight Ends Missing Blocks Badly.

Is that supposed to be proof of Rico not blocking well? You can't block defenders in the back.

The timing on the play is off. Swaim is trying to make a reach type block (i.e. Get past the defender and keep him away from the sideline). Swaim expected the runner to be further along. The idea on that play is for the ball carrier to get around to the outside. If Swaim just hits the defender, then he pushes him into the area where they (OC) wants the ball carrier to go. The play is not designed for the ball carrier to run inside of Swaim.

Swaim has been blocking in real games for 3 years going into his 4th season. It is obvious Swaim practiced that play expecting the ball carrier to be further advanced towards the sideline.

Well if properly coached to, should the wr become a defender and prevent the int ?
He should be aware of who and where the db is, and on that type play coming back to the ball
is better than letting ball come to you.
Also if he senses db making a move on the ball, grab him, PI is better than a pick 6?
