PFF: Deep Passing

[kruddy]

I think if they trust the o line things will change

 

[Gameover]

I just went and looked at the play by play of Jason Garrett's first game as head coach w/ Kitna at quarterback.

Kitna completed passes of 45yards to Bryant, 44 to Miles, 32 to Bennett, 71 felix(most done on yac), another 46 yards to Bryant, 27 to Roy, and a 24 yarder to miles.

Seven plays of more than twenty yards in one game.

 

[CATCH17]

This offense is the antithesis of excitement. Slow, dull, plodding, predictable.

We all wanted something more up tempo and innovative and it's like we took 2 steps back with hiring Callahan.

They probably don't count it as a "drop" when the pass is being defended to the point of pass interference. It's usually only when the receiver has a chance of making a routine catch.

Wow, looking at that again, Weddle hit Witten on the right arm just below the shoulder a split second before the ball arrived, so officially that pass was broken up. No drop. I'm not surprised that PI wasn't called, either, because it was so subtle.

Weddle owned Witten.

Weddle owned Witten.

Weddle got beaten deep and was fortunate that Romo badly underthrew Witten and that the refs let him get away with interference.

I'd sacrifice completion percentage and low INT numbers for more deep attempts.

I agree with Collinsworth, we need to throw 4-5 bombs to Dez every game. I don't care if occasionally they end up as an INT. At least defenses would understand they can't play underneath coverage all game.

This. All day long.

Two years ago, during a giants game either moose or Collingsworth said, and I quote " the cowboys are trying to get Romo to throw the ball down field more often but he just won't do it". This isn't Callahan's offense, this is Callahan and Romo's attempt to create a horizontal passing attack that will work for Romo, sadly teams that don't have Jeff fisher as a coach have figured that out. You simply cannot sit back there with the time Tony has to throw and not have people open down field, it's impossible to cover that long in today's NFL.
Jeez, I saw where Brees is on pace to be sacked 48 times this year and look where he throws the ball.

You can try to justify this any way you want, but it's time to draft a QB.

Was surprised to see him underthrow right there. If he leads Witten out then it looks good. Beasley was coming free from right to left...not sure if he gets the first down had Romo hit him instead. Weddle definitely slapped his arm at the most opportune second. Oh well...

 

[Rack]

That's an interesting set of stats.

I'd sacrifice some completion percentage for longer pass attempts.

Even the short/medium pass attempts seem to be pass patterns where the receiver doesn't have much of an opportunity for RAC... And all the attempts to Witten? We know how much RAC those generate.

Agreed. But that's a double edged sword, we start throwing deep more our pass pro doesn't look so great anymore (didn't even look so hot vs SD anyway). I personally don't think our pass pro has improved as much as most here believe, we just aren't throwing down the field so there isn't as much pressure on them to perform. I DO think they're better, just not AS good as it appears. But I'd be fine with them giving up a bit more pressure in order to actually put pressure on a defensive back 7.

Since Romo is all over the Top 5 in NFL history in just about any yards per attempt/completion stat out there, I'm pretty sure you're confusing a dream you had with reality.

Yeah, he got him that one time, but Weddle owned Witten the rest of the day.

Yds per attempt and yards the ball travels in the air are 2 completely different things. On top of that, if u can't see the difference in Romo today vs a few years ago you're beyond help, but by all means, keep up the stat parade

LOL... way to embarrass yourself and show you have no understanding of the statistic in the first place. And spare me your "analysis"... your takes on football impress no one. You're just another Romo hater with an axe to grind.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would like to see Dallas take some shots down field, when defense is using a single safety high then look to take advantage of it. I don't think it is wise to just throw the deep ball to say we threw it
