I have watched all the cowboys games a couple of times and I noticed how we are lined up about 10 yards off the recievers. When we are closer to the recievers we seem to have better coverage. I do not understand why the coaches have us so far off the recievers. Your thoughts?:confused:

Wade has said time and again that he has them play off cause he'd rather give up the short stuff than anything long.

There is nothing more to it than Wade being afraid we're going to give up the big plays.

With Newman/PacMan both out and Jenkins/Scandrick stepping in, I foresee more of the "playing off the receivers" scheme.
