Only way to stop this offense is to bring the house from the first snap

[Parcells4Life]

In my opinion teams are going to bring the house from the first snap. Teams that play safe will get rolled over by the run game. If you bring 5-6 to stop the run that's still not enough to prevent Dez/Beasley from having time to get open.

Only way to stop dallas is to bring 7 right up the middle to get romo off his comfort level.

If the defense shows any ability at all to slow people down the offense could bury teams by going no huddle and score at a pinball rate. Problem is there has to be confidence that the defense won't collapse so that the offense can go all out and not just try to serve as protector for the other side of the ball.

Only thing on offense I'm worried about is Tony's back. Everything else is money.

Tony plays like we know he can all 16 games, we're in for an entertaining offense.

One thing I noticed was we was getting turnovers last season. We might not stop any team but we win the turnover battle our offense and special teams will win ball games

The big difference, I think, will be Linehan. If team's do bring the house, we will be seeing alot of dump off passes and screens to the likes of Dunbar and Beasley. Bringing 7 typically means the 4 left are dropping deep to keep the play underneath, but that would likely mean at the very least a first down for our offense. If that happens consistently, the defense will have to play us straight up where I still like the Cowboys chances moving the ball. This offense will be the best it has been since 2007, in my opinion.

We can save Romo's back by maintaining leads, and running the ball a lot more and putting him in less situations where he needs to hold the ball for a long time and is potentially left defenseless.

Keep them off the field. Defense had to be better and cannot allow the opponent to hold the ball all day.

Someone's been playing Madden.

Who could blame them? After all, we have no sizzle. Or so I read.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Is anyone good at diagramming plays? I'm envisioning a 12 personnel that looks like 11 with Romo under center and Dunbar in backfield.

Escobar out wide to left, Witten inline as Y, Dez in slot and TW out wide right.

Screen pass goes to Dunbar on left side and Martin is pulling ahead while Witten seals off the right side.

Don't know how defense stops that since presnap they'd be focused on right side with Witten, Dez and TW

Only way to stop this offense is to put our defense on the field.

That...is very cool!

 

[Bluestang]

The way xwalker diagrammed the defense, you still have a one person advantage (blockers vs defenders) on the defense if you slice the field in half and account for Frederick.

The only thing that has stopped this offense is the lack of creativity and consistent failure to execute.

 

[CATCH17]

Defenses better hope Jason Garrett picks up the play card again . That's the easiest way to stop our offense.

My thoughts exactly -- the only thing that can hold us back is ourselves. As long as guys don't drop passes, fumble, get dumb penalties, etc. I think we'll do great.

Depending on the safety, I am throwing that ball to Escobar on every time.

Just what Jerry wants fans to think, regardless of Ws!

You can't run the ball a lot when you are playing from behind due to your defense.

Yep.
