Just an idea at fullback?

Offense isn't the Cowboys problem and obviously you don't pay attention to the players we have on the team! Dak, CD, Pickens, Ferguson,Turpin, Flourney, etc... They have built this team to throw the ball but only having a total of 6 positions in any game is a losing proposition! Hire someone who can coach DEFENSE and most of the problems could be solved!

I know defence is the problem. I never said it wasn't the problem. I just saw what the Giants did and was looking at how to make our offense better. This thread isn't mutually exclusive to wanting the D to be better. I just got an idea from what I saw the Giants were doing.
 
Offensively they either need to get rid of loop key or actually use him pick one and I've been saying this for years. They need to do a better job of being multiple out of the same personnel and formation instead of always changing formation changing personnel. Everybody knows what we're going to run when when we do these make these changes. The Rams literally went to the super bowl running about six plays for most of their. You know offenses they could do so much out of the same formation and we do so little out of the same formation. And that was a big complaint against Garrett is that we did not give a schematic advantage to our offense. But the offenses were built so well. So talented that they could still succeed and we still did a pretty good job on on Sunday. The the two drives in the second half that mean they did. They went 70 plus yards and scored a touchdown on both the drives. It was just the first half. They couldn't get things going and only scoring seven points in the first half. Put them behind and they could not surmount it. They almost did. They got the defense. Got the ball back and then that gave it back to the Giants and that pretty much sealed it away

That's kinda where my idea came from? I don't think we use Luepke nearly efficiently enough. And for those that are about to jump on my throat for saying this, I am in no way saying defence isn't a priority. I just think that maybe seeing if we have someone heavy like a PS tackle who might be able to move might not be a bad idea to try at FB. If we can run the ball better, maybe we can play keep away from our D until they're ready? Kinda like what we did in 2014. And if someone like a PS tackle can help plow the way to help us do it, why not? If it doesn't work, then he probably doesn't see the active roster for a while anyway lol. What have we to lose?
 
We are a passing team. All of our money is spent on throwing the ball. We just extended a WR and a TE.

How about our coaching staff game plan around that?

We need to throw first to set up the run. Not the other way around. Harbaugh has built his team as a run first.

You have to keep in mind Jeruh for decades has done the opposite. Game planning otherwise is dumb.

We should start every game like we are down 10 points.
I agree throw 1st to set up the run , and pass on 1st down instead of run it every time.
At same time dont be predictable !
 
You don't need to spam that about the defence. I understand and am fully aware about our defence. Obviously, that side needs improving, but there's nothing wrong with tweaking some ideas on offense too. Why don't YOU post a thread about what YOU think should be done on defence?
See it's not spam because it actually fits just about every subject I knew somebody was gonna come back and say that and you're very wrong it is actually the right answer to almost every one of these posts seriously stop nitpicking the offense or anything else about the team and the coaching there's one thing that lost that game that's definitive and that's very obvious and it was the defense...NEXT

Everything else is just wasting time talking about it you can have the Greatest Show on turf for offense if you have no defense and remember those teams I believe that was the Rams team That was their best defense they've ever had it wasn't the best in the league but it was much improved and that is why they won a Super Bowl same thing with Peyton Manning and the Colts I remember when they finally broke through and won it wasn't because of Peyton Manning he was always that guy their offense was always that way it was the defense was one of the better ones they assembled it wasn't the best in the league but it was very improved that is how this works you have to have a defense or nothing else is worth talking about...

He went through this last year it doesn't matter how well our offense plays if our defense and if you want to throw in special teams that's fine but a lot of those guys you play defense also play on the special teams...

Nothing to talk about 4th and inches or whether they should have went for it about been more aggressive or threw the ball downfield more it does not matter it would not have mattered It's just like Prescott we could go all the way back to his rookie year the offense played well enough to beat the Packers but the defense did not if you leave anytime on the clock you are gonna get beat it's been like that pretty much since 2016 I don't want to hear about Dan Queens defenses who get throttled against better teams and in the playoffs the Cowboys have always had one big problem when it really mattered they didn't have the defense just like the Rams and Matthew Stafford won a Super Bowl more on the backs of their defense and their coaching yes Matthew Stafford was great but he led the league in interceptions he threw two interceptions in the Super Bowl and it didn't matter his defense made sure it didn't matter...

asking our quarterback And offense to be perfect all the time is ridiculous i've been watching sports all my life it's absolutely ridiculous That's why it is not spam it's about the defense and it's been about the defense for a very long time I feel bad for Prescott and anybody who's been playing on offense or calling the offense or running the offense because no matter what they do they're gonna be blamed in those situations and nitpick when it's always been about the defense three historically bad defenses already since 2016 and now we start off game on with the same problem defense so is it spam no it's actually my copying and pasting it to every post that deserved it it actually is the right answer to every one of those posts since sunday night. since Sunday night.
 
I forgot that Moore did that. I was just trying to think of a way to be more physical in our run game lol
You forgot so you're saying that me reminding you makes you feel how because I've been playing this game for a long time we lost because of the defense not because the lack of creativity or aggressiveness from Schottenheimer and our offense or our quarterback again it's about the defense you said I'm spamming no that was the right reply to every one of these posts some of these weird requests and ideas matter not when you've had some of the worst defenses on the planet just since 2016 and now we start out game one the same way and we're trying to find ways to nitpick the offense..

Offense doesn't need help.. I get it they're not perfect They're not going to put up 35 points a game nor should they be asked to they're not going to be aggressive all the time because they do know and yes Schottenheimer knows that he's going to at times just like last year have to protect his defense and you cannot put them on a short field if you go for it on 4th and inches but it also not going to help if you use an offensive lineman as your lead blocker because you shouldn't have been going for it there in the first place and they had no problem scoring in the red zone Game 1 did you miss that I mean we didn't really need this particular idea in game one we lost because of defense I didn't spam it defense defense defense it's been some of the worst since Prescott's been a rookie he got robbed in his rookie season of He could have won his first playoff game had he had a defense to stop Aaron Rodgers..FACTS

Three historically bad defenses since 2016 and now we start off with a very familiar problem defense i'm sorry if it seems like spamming but nothing else to me is worth talking about because that wouldn't have helped in this particular game we lost..

Yes it would be nice If we see some creativity from our OC who really You have to take Riley and Adams and put their name on some of this stuff I mean they're supposed to be future like play calling OCs in training and maybe head coaches and we all go back to Brian Schottenheimer look the man's trying to run the whole team and call the plays but some of these things are designed the game plans with the entire staff involved in these meetings..

Get the frustration but we lost because the defense could not cover, Right now in the Age they couldn't get themselves in the right spots They were at their assignments were blown all over the field and it doesn't matter what the offense would have done I mean there's no way you were putting that many points on the field when you had no time the time of possession was the worst part of the game it was eaten up they owned the football The offense actually was the same as last year the Cowboys could have probably scored 35 had they had more possessions...

Problem is defense.. So yes it would be nice to have some creativity every once in a while but in this game it doesn't matter how creative you are it doesn't matter if you grew capes and they took away gravity and you could have jumped over everyone you you were probably losing that game anyway..

Yes I'm frustrated Everyone else but I'm a realist if you don't fix the defense the season is over I don't care if we have the greatest Show on turf or if they're going to call it got III don't care they act like that we weren't backing up those claims that our offense is still great and I'm saying it is you just didn't have the time to show it they played keep away all game the defense just was horrible and it needs to get fixed and nothing else matters.. A fullback or a special jumbo package offensive lineman fullback wasn't fixing game one..

Again, I know the defence needs fixing, and I'm sure everyone around the Cowboys knows that. There's nothing that I'm saying in this thread that stops that from happening. I think they DO need to fix that side of the ball. At the same time, all I was saying for the purposes of THIS thread was to post an idea that I had about the offense involving players on the PS that can be called up and not count against the 53. I would also like it if we signed someone like Bobby Wagner, but I can discuss that in a different thread.

It's spam because 1. You're acting like what I'm saying in this thread means we can't address the defence and 2. You've been making the same point over and over again about something I'm not talking about. This isn't the first time that you've tried to make arguments that indicate you didn't read the OP or are reading something into it that I didn't say. No where did I say in my OP that we couldn't focus on the defence. All I was saying was that I had an idea using practice squad players to help improve our offense. I literally have a completely separate thread that I posted earlier involving the fact that I liked the way we knocked the ball out at least 3-4 times on Sunday. I was highlighting that as something that we can build on. There's nothing to say don't improve the defence. If I wanted to talk about defence in this thread, I'd have posted it in my OP.

I get it but I'm as frustrated as the last person so I get more frustrated and triggered when I see people nitpicking the offense Yes the special teams need a little work as well but mostly it's all the defense.

Much can Bobby Wagoner really help what is Von Miller do game one now I understand they were in a predicament where the pass rush wasn't gonna look as good because the coverage they were getting the ball out quick 'cause people were open right away they were playing way too far off the ball way too much zone again I don't get that either that's a lot like last year just let them have all the time of possession they just drove down the field in 12 plays it felt like every single possession for the Giants offense was like 10 to 12 plays and it felt like it was 10 to 12 minutes and they were getting easy first downs and they took up all the time so our offense couldn't even really show what they could do given it was game one..

But Bobby Wagner to him that would be a nice pick up if it was 4 years ago he sure was wore out last year look at all the reps and snaps he got with the Washington team.

Look I'm gonna calm down a minute Me give you my clear advice on this this is my thoughts they will go and make moves after week two when you don't have to guarantee money some of these veterans could be washed you should not be using your salary cap on a player that may not even be able to help you remember bringing in Logan Wilson and Sanborn last year late and they didn't do anything So what you wanna do is I believe the rule is after week two you don't have to guarantee contracts.

And we get a bigger picture with a second game to at least see if the adjustments are being made the players are getting the system figured out you don't make rash decisions off one game and go out and move a bunch of people I think they're doing that with running back 'cause they see they need to just have a different type of backup so they moved a guy up and I saw people get triggered by that they're going Oh my God they moved up a running back dude the front office Now realize we need more defense yes I'm tired of reading all this the game cannot get here fast enough and I wish it was a noon game hell I wish it was tomorrow I wish we would have had the Thursday game because I want this nightmare of the overreaction game one stuff done...


I realize if they lose this game it's gonna even be worse for the fan base but I'm still gonna say the same thing Give us some time I just want to see some improvement will they know their assignments better is Christian Parker willing to play more man because right now I'm telling you 28 Rebel and even Bland a little bit they are not good in zone they are not good in space our best corner was Durant thank you Jerry he brought over a nice free agent I thought Thompson played pretty good too people said he didn't but I think he did I mean downs was good but they're overly judging Von Miller and even Lawrence saying they can't rush to pass her they need to fix that no they don't they need to fix the fact that if you cover better you give them an extra second or two to actually finish their pass rush this happened last year it's too easy to move the ball on the Cowboys defense...

Everybody thinks the Giants are contenders and I think that's hilarious I just don't think people realize how bad our defense really played and all the bouncers went their way because as bad as the defense was the difference between last year and this year it took them longer to score but there were four possibly five turnovers and that's a good thing that we just have to have more balance to us be more aware you've knocked the ball out go get it look for the ball don't stop on the play go find it that is actually somewhat encouraging..

It wasn't spam it was my exact thought and reaction to about five or six different threads and thoughts from other people so I felt like I didn't feel like doing things 3 or 4 times it's the same response that is my response that was my response..
 
We havent used the FB the correct way since 2016, Zeke's rookie year. We had 2 FBs and a dominant run game
Let me tell you why you're both right and wrong at the same time this league does not use full backs much at all they use hybrid HVAC they use their tight end They used Ricard does that look like a fullback no he is a guard acting like a fullback for certain plays but they're not using a full time fullback Full backs are a dying breed it's a position not being used much at all 'cause it's usually a waste of a position what they're not doing properly This is where you're correct,

Is making sure when he's in there that he's not just a blocker that he's used like a tight end coming out of the backfield throw the ball to him more we've seen this he is a very good player as a matter of fact I would make him more of a tight end and then he's already in there in games he can block as a fullback at times but I think you need to stop bringing SchoonMaker to the games not 'cause he's bad he's a waste of space more so because he's only plays tight end and he doesn't really do much..

What you can do is make sure you utilize Hunter not just as a fullback but also as the H back the tight end get him involved more if he's active on game day he can't be sitting on the sidelines all day and I realize he's the backup holder and possibly snap her on the punts and kicks I don't know what he does but he does play special teams but I want to see him more not as a fullback because they do not use full backs much anymore but utilize the man he's already on the team and I know he's pretty good in space catching the football and he's also a pretty good running back so if you want to give Williams a few blows put Hunter in as your lead power back...

Again, no argument about our defence. That's not the argument I'm making in this thread. All I was looking to do was improve all areas of the team. Should add that I just wrote a thread that has ideas I have for how to build our defence better. And what you said about us knocking out the ball is literally something I said in a different thread. I do think, in another game, if we keep attacking the ball, we will get more of those fumbles or interceptions to go our way. That alone should win us a few more games than last year. But, at the same time, I recall in 2014 how we built our offense to a way in which we could just focus on controlling the ball and keeping the ball away from our D as much as possible at the time. Our offense was dynamite then, and it allowed our D to be as rested as possible and not see the field as much. So, by using the FB position the way I was suggesting, it actually helps our D. Imagine if, like the Giants, we were able to only have our D on the field for 6 possessions in a game while dominating time of possession? Think our D would be more effective? Of course it would, and that helps our D develop better and become what we would hope they can be. We've done it before, and I'd argue we have a more dynamic offense than we did in 2014. If we can be better running the ball and controlling TOP, we probably help our D more.

Forget what the league is doing. Look what the Giants did to us. The Cowboys won 5 SBs as a run first team. 3 years ago most teams were going w the 2 back system then Saquan runs for 2k and now everyone back to the one back system.

We need to quit being followers and go back to our identity. Run first, get a few firat downs, give defense time to get breath but no we pass 7 out of 10 times and when we do run we dont run with conviction as almost like we are forced.to run the ball.

I thought about that but not in this game you already had limited time of possession you couldn't limit your own time of possession by going slow you needed to actually go faster in a type of game like this it sucks putting all that pressure on your offense I have to score quickly that was the case time was running out You couldn't play small ball in that kind of game I disagree in that game it would have been a horrible game plan and it would have needed to change anyway II know he likes to run the ball a lot but at some point you have to open it up we're supposed to have one of the better offenses and passing games in the league Then you need to open it up in a game like this you have to score quickly it sucks it is that kind of pressure you you can't protect your defense as well but that is the only reason I agree with him not going for it on 4th and inches he was protecting his defense but at the same time the people were mad understands that they needed to score on every drive because they weren't gonna have very many drives but you didn't know that until after the game It was the proper call..

But that's the whole thing here though so I'm disagreeing with that I do like ball control You can help your defense but I am sick of this narrative that we have to coddle the defense it is time to take the training wheels off the defense and if they can't get it done if Parker can't get it done he will be one and done he will be the most overrated hire we've ever had because of all the expectations that it's like players with what do you call it potential,

That needs to stop him playing all this zone and playing back no when you have a team you're unsure of the best thing you could do is play fast and aggressive do what Brian Flores is doing we know we couldn't have gotten him we we already talked about that I don't want them to do that all the time but if you're trying to hide your warts that's what you do it's sort of what Dan Quinn does he can't stop the run very well he really can't defend on the bend don't break So what does he do brings a lot of pressure tries to create turnovers,

By the way that almost worked I mean there were a lot of balls on the ground they just didn't get them they only got one of them potential interceptions the only way you're going to help your young team in the process while you're waiting on them to grow and figure it out is to get those turnovers and the best way to do that is play aggressive You know you're going to live and die right I'd rather live and die with aggressive blitzing and crazy eye candy motion on the defensive side where you don't know what's coming who's coming or when it's coming you don't have to do this all year but that's what it should have happened in the 2nd half last night and they didn't do it they stayed in the zone too much...

Gonna reiterate no you cannot play small ball to protect your defense anymore because if the defense looks like game one they're giving up long time of possession drives that does not leave enough time to play small ball on offense..

You realize that's what you do when you get a 14 point lead then you start running the ball a lot and yes it helps the defense but in this case it wouldn't have it would have been worse... Feel they may have ran the ball too much I haven't even looked at it but I think they needed to open it up more and really that George Pickens dropped before the interception that was a huge play junkyard flip the whole game it would have flipped the field That is what we needed to do more of his balls thrown like that because one the Giants were holding a lot a lot of them are getting angry of all the holding calls they were really holding I forget the name of the guy Phillips he was holding on every single coverage everyone they only called half of them and he's angry like he didn't do something they were holding our guys all night so we needed to throw the ball more deep not run the ball in this game but there'll be games where we could play small ball but not until our defense grows up i'm sick of hearing that word protect the defense..
