Thanks, my brother! There's so many amazing, amazing members here!!! You being one of them. We're all in this fight together, Irv, my brother!

It's amazing how much knowledge really is on this board. We debate and debate but I respect almost all members here even in disagreements.

where are the battles like these time to step it up

Well our guys fight because our OL is so dominate and they hate to lose.

In GB you have scrubs against scrubs. In Dallas we have real grown men

What's laughable is thinking that if the Cowboys made a comment that they'd like to play more zone on defense that's telegraphing "strategic planning".

So let me get this straight. You and others on the internet have deduced that because Marinelli is a zone coach, we signed a zone CB in Carroll and drafted a bunch of zone CBs, we will play zone defense more. But apparently NFL OCs haven't figured that out and if the Cowboys made a comment in the offseason that they'd like to play more zone, THAT would be giving opposing teams a leg up on us.

LOL.

I have not once brought up Marinelli. If you must know I believe as he has for the last several years tailor his scheme to the personnel that he has. My take comes from the fact that they released two man to man corners and picked up four defensive backs that could play zone. Do I need to connect the dots further for you?

Nice strawman though.

Further secondary deployment is a huge part of game planning ie strategy. You can play all of the semantic games you would like at the same time Garrett keeps such things close to his vest pretty famously. You know the whole coy canned answers that he gives during press conferences rather than reveal anything at all?

Whew.

I was getting a little worried there.

Yuma Cactus has all kinds of YouTube's of cowboys practice and if you watch the one-on-ones and the team period, you'll see hitting just like that. The Ochoa and Hellman Twitter feeds are also a gold mine to see such things.

Don't bother. There's no argumentative knot fuzzy can tie himself into that he's not willing to lie, obfuscate or pivot out of before admitting he's wrong.

So again, Fuzzy has deduced that based on personnel moves the Cowboys will play a lot more zone but apparently opposing OCs won't and therefore if the Cowboys made a comment that they drafted certain CBS because they want to play more zone then opposing OCs would figure it out?

Who said it was very difficult to figure out. You're not even arguing the logic. Marinelli tailors his defensive schemes to his personnel and has done so for the past 3 years. Deal with it

I mean your attempts to ridicule me are cute and all but it's logic that anyone can figure out and I'm hardly the only person to come to this conclusion.

Any who attack the argument and not the man and you'll find the people will find you more credible.

PS I never said anything about the team commenting on it. Quite the contrary and quite explicitly just the same.

Pressure with zone coverage is more likely to generate turnovers than man coverage. The unknown is what the pressure level is going to look like. A lack of pressure requires more man.

The key word is "almost"

Let it go, is it really worth it. We're all entitled to an opinion

And the Cowboys have been pretty split between man and zone (slightly more zone than man if you believe Sturm's analysis). I suspect that continues. Marinelli wants to mix secondary looks and guys like Awuzie and Lewis give him that option.

In fact, when they signed Carroll, Garrett made a comment that what they liked about Carroll was his versatility.

I wanted to say something funny, but no punchline is really required here, anyway.

Being able to flip between them creates more uncertainty for QBs. I like it.
