Is Dallas capable of running any quick slants? Keyshawn is a big receiver who specializes in being physical. Is he just too slow to run a slant play? Splitting Witten out and running a slant to him also sounds like an option. It would mean either a 3 or 5 step drop by Bledsoe and ball out. That way the defensive ends wouldn't have time to rush the passer. They don't have to run a slant on every single play, but I don't see them using slant patterns at all. Or maybe they try to, but are just that ineffective at doing it. My questions don't arise from yesterday's game when everything was ineffective. I have thought about this for a while.
I would also like to see the running backs going down field for passes once or twice a game. I am talking about deeper than 5 yards.
Tucker is a young guy, but I just don't see any way he is ever going to get it. The Giants defensive end looks like he will be a very good one and Flozell would have trouble stopping him, but that is just the physcial part. Mentally Tucker doesn't look capable of playing tackle. He gave up one sack when he had Julius helping out on the outside. He never played the inside move. It wasn't even much of a move. Instead of sitting on the inside knowing he had outside help, he set up way too far outside giving the DE a clear inside path to Bledsoe.
Oh, by the way. I don't like the stretch play. I haven't liked it all year and I have noticed other posters that shared that opinion. The Giants stuffed that play often in the first match up, so I was hoping for something different this game. I certainly wasn't expecting Gurode to allow his man in and create a turnover, but I wasn't expecting success with the stretch play either.
