Interesting bit of information. Cowboys tied at 9th. Super Bowl teams KC and Philly ahead of the pack, followed by the 49ers. Giants rank is an eye opener, making the playoffs with an offense that struggles to make big plays.

Get a real #2 to pair with Cee Dee please!

Wonder what the break down is for 30 or even 40 yards or more.
It would be interesting to see how the list changes. Not just the numbers, but how teams fall in place.

I think the Giants weren't as good as their record suggested. I feel good with Cooks as a #2 and would say the WR combo for the Cowboys is better than the Chiefs, but the QB isn't. Still in favor of adding more WR talent on draft day because after Gallup there is a lot of unknowns.

Would also be interested to see how many big-type plays were attempted, and how many were designed short gains that broke open. Either way, I don't think it's much of a surprise that the two teams at the top of the list were in the SB, with offenses specifically designed to their QB's.

It’s a big play league.. Data has shown that for awhile.

The more your team resembles fantasy football the better. That’s what all the rule changes and player safety has turned the league into.

Zeke’s 3 yards and a cloud of dust was getting us nowhere while one of the league best big play threats had to fight for snaps.

These are for QBs whereas I think the one above is for overall team plays but it does underscore how little we push the ball down the field passing and why I don't think "deep passing" is 20 yards. When you look at 30, 40, and 50 that lets you know who's doing the quick striking. Such a good weapon to have, especially when you're trailing.

Say what you will but the system used by the Cowboys since Garrett they tend to go down field alot. What they lacked is designed plays that can help players get yards after the catch with quick releases. More importantly is marrying the 2 so the same plays and formation is being used thus the defense has no clue what the Qb wants to do.

We just got Cooks. 9th is good. Now that Zeke is gone, we should move up instantly.

Obsessed with Zeke still…can’t make a post without mentioning him.

Cooks will not help if Dak keeps throwing the ball to the other team.

You have to turn every thread into a Zeke thread.

The top 3 were in the final four. Conclusion: we need big time play makers.

So we were top 9, we added Cooks, will give more touches to Pollard if he is healthy enough, started Cooper Rush for 5 games and hopefully have a more explosive Gallup next year and while I’m at it I’ll say likely have a better OL. What’s not to like

Your just sore because your hero Zeke made you look silly. Its Ok, you lost the debate.
Last time I checked there is no rule against talking about Zeke.

How about you stop stalking me?

A few of us have been saying, this team needed more weapons last year...and it showed. This OP stat proves it.
