Every time you open a can or tin of Neapolitan ice cream, you get the exact same order of ice cream.

You know where the vanilla will be, and that the chocolate and strawberry are on the outside.

Compare this to our offense. When looking at our offense, you know exactly where Dez will be ( *Don't laugh, but he is our Chocolate). You know where Witten will be ( *again this isn't being racial, but he is our Vanilla) in the middle. T. Will is our Strawberry on the other side until he can further prove himself without body catches.

Opposing defenses look at our arrangement and know exactly where everyone will be, and what they do. We essentially tell the defense, "Hey look, this is what we do, this is how we align ourselves, and you will have to beat us".

At no point the Chocolate and Vanilla swap places, and at no point does the Strawberry swap places with the Vanilla.

This is the problem with our offense. One day we can hope that we will open this can of ice cream, and see chocolate in the middle, with vanilla on the outside.


Sorry guys, it is late and I am hungry.

Nice comparison.

But i think the main problem with our offense is (aside from being too predictable) that our OL is not good against the blitz and our qb isnt too.
Second our QB is not good when he faces preasure throu the DL up the middle.

Look at Romos QB ratings when he gets blitzed or has to handle constant preasure. Washington Philly Houston are good examples. Romo has some spin moves that look good and may give us a big play or two. But overall he is playing bad against preasure. He needs alot of time to scan the field (3-4 secs+). Thats way too much.

For good teams we are easy to beat.

stop the run
blitz heavy loaded on one side (disguise which side)
cash in

This team s going nowhere if it cant handle the blitz.
