Twitter: Pickens on those saying they need to take away the slant route

[WoodysGirl]

Cowboys WR George Pickens when asked about those who say you have to take the slant route away from him: “It’s kind of inevitable. It’s gonna happen regardless. Because I can beat it against 2-man, man, 3, 4, it’s a window thing. … There’s nothing they can do to win. I got the go-ball, the stop route, slant. And now they’re kinda focusing on the slant and I still got the go-ball. There’s a lot of stuff.”

One word........dawg!
In other words, I still have sh___ in my bag that they still haven't seen
This is Michael Irvin/TO level ...........

No wonder CeeDee is dropping balls...........he is seeing first hand how good Pick is.

I hope the opposing defenses do try to take away the slant. It will open up the double move to a big play corner route or fade.

What made us great in the 90's was defenses had to pick their poison.

Are we there yet? Not sure our running game is there yet, but if we played more 21 personnel I think we could be close.

It aint bragging if its true.

Teams will try to buzz LBs and safeties underneath and open themselves up to a slant and go (SLUGO).

Be careful. Lol

They'll get stroked over the top if they try to get cute bighting up on a lil' slant. You kind of just gotta take it, or risk getting burned big time.

Oh, yeah. They think they hate the slant route. Wait until they start jumping it, and Pickens hits them with the sluggo.

Well they might be able to find a tendency that gives it away.

it's upto Dak,generally he also has the option of dumping the ball off to the RB on the same side,if the LB vacated that side to help out with Pickens then that is a bigger gain to the RB.

There seems to be nothing missing with GP's confidence. He has the knack for making great plays and he knows it. Anyone who has seen him perform can easily see why he takes so much pride in what he does. DeeDee is another one who knows what he's capable of.

They make an extremely dangerous twosome for any team to deal with. Here's hoping Detroit gets a firsthand demonstration of what they can do to be a winning combination. I'm sure they'll do all they can to make it a dogfight, as long as our defense does their part, too. I wish 'em Godspeed.

The entire defense can run 90 yards to fall down and mug for the “glam-cam” after every turnover but you can’t run to the star ?

 

[bigE79]

As long as he doesn't do that juju Smith bs,i don't care what he does

 

[Zman5]

I'm just glad we are running more slants than the curls

 

[RS12]

You know.........I believe him.

You don't miss all 4 receivers running a 8 yard curl on 3rd and 9???

Love just carved up Detroit with 4 TD's and that was with Terrion Arnold playing.
