- Watch out for possibly a much better screen passing game this year. Every year I always take a look at the best screen passing teams because in today’s NFL teams blitz so much and with many of the RB’s being great in space, the screen play can be extremely effective in helping the team…and usually about 3-5 of the playoff teams are great at throwing the screen.
Not only does the O-Line look more mobile which should help out with the screen, but so should the 2 TE set. In the screen play we threw to Julius, the formation was originally Fasano at the F-back spot, with Hurd and Glenn lined up out wide to the left. Fasano was then sent in motion out wide like a receiver. He was then picked up by McKenzie. Dallas threw the screen towards Fasano’s way and now had a major advantage in a TE like Fasano blocking against a CB in McKenzie. Parcells started to open up a bit more of the 2 TE set early on, but after that they pretty much kept it vanilla.
- I don’t see the complaints about the running game. They were able to run the ball when they needed to and gained 119 yards on the ground. They weren’t exactly the Denver Broncos, but I didn’t see it as a bad performance either. Should be noted that they had 32 yards on 5 carries when Flozell was in there.
- From what I saw, Fabini probably looked the best out of the O-Linemen out there. Seriously.
- I can see why Parcells likes McQuistan. He needs to get a bit more lower body strength, but the kid can play a bit in general. He’s at the point where he’ll make a series of good blocks, but then just completely screw up. Also, we’ll have to wait and see how he reacts to the different defenses and stunting, etc.
- The TE’s blocked better than they did last year, but Fasano is still inconsistent. Fasano would have a couple of good blocks and then make an error or get beat.
- I thought Ware was the best looking player on defense. He still played a lot of coverage as Payton went to a lot of 3 WR sets, but in general he was excellent. Most will remember him bullying Jammal Brown on the play that Ellis should have intercepted, but he did it again on Bush’s first running play not allowing Bush to the outside and then getting swallowed up.
- While he’s very fast, I don’t think Bush’s speed is going to be what separates him from the league. His cutting ability is pretty phenomenal. However, I think he’s the type of back that once a defender gets his hands on him, he’s very likely to go down.
