They ran against 8 some and they had many runs that didn't gain much; however, they would eventually take advantage of defenses that started playing to their tendencies.

With Weed as the QB and without Dez, they have not had the ability to come back and take advantage when teams started loading up against the run.

Once they hit a few plays to Dez, etc., then defenses would back off the run and that's when Murray would rack up the yardage.

Im getting tired of people on here acting like we consistently ran well against 8 man fronts last year.

We had plenty of runs stuffed at the LOS and eventually we just wore teams down by the 4th quarter.

yes if this team is going to do new things, please do it against a team that always stands up to play us. oh well no one expected the Garrett to wise up. He has had the Giants number recently so who knows. I guess if making mistakes works for him whats another one.

New Offensive Wrinkles Coming For Cowboys?
By Tom Ryle

The Dallas Cowboys have made some significant changes to their offense to try and end the doldrums it suffered for three weeks under Brandon Weeden. Matt Cassel now will have the reins, and the hope is that he is going to be more effective. The gameplan with Weeden was very conservative. Will Scott Linehan try some things with Cassel that he would not try the past three games?

It probably is time. The Cowboys need to move the ball and score more points. The game against the New York Giants is a very good one to try some new things out, because the Giants have not been having much success at all getting pressure on the quarterback. Dallas showed it was willing to throw some new stuff on the field with the defense when it rolled out the 3-2-6 alignment against the New England Patriots. What kind of things might they try offensively?

Anything the team does has to recognize the limitation that Cassel has. He does not have the strongest arm, so he is not going to be good for really long throws. But he can make the middle range passes. The Cowboys don't have to complete long bombs to loosen up the run defense. Throws 15 to 20 yards downfield can do that as well, and Cassel can make that kind of throw...

Longbomb is more timing than arm strength Cassle is able to throw the ball 50 yards and put air under it. When I think of routs that requires a big arm it is the deep outs where the ball has to be thrown on a line, if you put too put air under it the DB is able to react and jump in front.

The Giants are 31st in the league in passing defense, giving up 298.5 yards a game, so maybe throwing a bit more on first down would be appropriate.

As conservative as the Cowboys have been thus far, I'm not counting on anything too bold nor creative to be in the works for this game in the Meadowlands. I think Cassel will be required to perform at his very best and the defense must find a way to apply maximum pressure on Eli to rattle him and destroy his rhythm. If it worked for Philadelphia as well as it appeared to, it should also work well for us. I expect a very tough fight in any case, however. The Giants will be smarting after what happened last Sunday and sorely wanting to rebound.
