The Bye Week has me doodling plays on napkins and paper towels

Here's what I came up with.

Seems everybody is screaming about our TEs not playing well enough.

Witten is 2 steps slow and his blocking is breaking down.

Swaim and Hanna are slow back from injury..

and my pet cat Rico is still out.

Sooooo...

I say we remove the TE on some formations and use one of our OL to play TE.

Talk about running behind a line.

And when the defense stacks 9 in the boxbox to stop it..

we go over the top.

Send backs in motion to move LBers around..

Run an option on the edge..

run it heavy left..heavy right..

put the G or T in the backfield and pass protect..

Why should this not succeed.?

Thoughts?

I'm bored but edgy right now.

Forget Jet Sweeps.

Let's Jumbo-fy them.

Sorry.

We used Looney this exact way last year when all our TEs got hurt. Wasn't terribly effective if I remember correctly.

Honestly what would help to get this run game going would be to put 4 wide receivers on the field, Dak, Zeke, and our 5 o linemen.

Spread out the defense, and run from that formation.

Zeke would eat all day in this personnel package.

Id like to see more of this anyways. What ever happened to Beasley and Switzer at the sane time? I dunno, Id like to see our coaches try some other things.

The Cowboys don't have great success using OTs as TEs. A lot of TE blocking is about timing and angles more than brute force.

In the Garrett offense era, they have actually run the ball better in 3 WRs sets than Jumbo sets.

The offense is more predictible without the option of the TE being a legit receiver.

The better option would these WRs plus 1 RB:
Beasley
TWill
Butler
Switzer

Also maybe something similar but with Brown because he is a very good blocker.
