Interesting PFF Article: Cowboys ran the most "go" routes in 2014

Makes sense for TW to be winded on some of the other routes. Running decoy go routes has to be exhausting. Definitely just schemed to open other options bc we rarely throw deep.

Yes, TW had one of the most physically exhausting jobs on the team.

This is very interesting... not.

And it is entirely possible that someone ran the wrong route or that the receiver did not adjust correctly.

Also true

Isn't it essentially the simplest route in the WR route tree?

Does that make it the simplest to defend also?

If you don't stretch the D in situations when you need 4 or 5 yards, you are going to have no space to make a play as you'll have all 11 guys near the LOS and the first down marker. Those routes are why Beasley and Witten have been so effective in moving the sticks.

I understand that, but when every receiver is running a go route, how effective is it?

Hard for a team to load the box against Murray when Dallas is stretching the field wide and deep. Also seems to open up space for Witten and Beasley underneath.
