RB attempts vs 8 in the box this season

[Bleu Star]

Zeke is in the top 5 and I seriously believe he will increase his ranking tonight. Teams are starting to feel as though they can challenge us in the run game & force us to pass. I think Zeke and our Oline take that personally tonight.

Shamless plug... Check my boy Demarco.

Good we need to do something to cover up the deficiencies at the qb position

Well... In all fairness, Demarco covered up the same deficiency in years past and that didn't matter so...

Someone always has to make this a Romo thing. Take off the freaking blinders.

He didn't bring up Romo. You did. He said deficiencies at the position. He said nothing about Romo. Or replacing Dak.

They need to define that little better. Is 8 in the box against a standard set with 2 WRs, 1 RB and either 2 TEs or a TE and FB? That's what the 8 in the box term really means. If the offense is in a Jumbo set or 3 WR set, then 8 in the box has a different meaning for each of those formations.

OHHHHHH OKKKKKKK

Dang! So 50% of the time Murray has to run against 8 man fronts. Outstanding! Geez!

Zeke only gets 31.9% against 8 man fronts? That means teams aren't scared of our run game?

Say that again after today's game so everyone can laugh at you.

You just got butt hurt because Dak wasn't praised in that post.

It's ok. You will still live.

No one mentioned, or alluded to Romo, until you did.

I hope so because I have been laughing at sadness the last 8 quarters

Man. You guys are smart. I hope to one day be as cerebral as you. Props.

I like forward to hearing from black label & others that follow his singular line of thought after tonight's game.

Nothing like a good shameless plug to wake up the fan base. Big W coming tonight. Print that.

Interesting numbers. But there is so much nuance not captured here. Murray certainly faces "true" 8 man box a LOT, but from watching a ton of Patriot games I can say that almost any 8 man box Blunt faces is due to defenders being in the box due to receiver alignments.

And while Zeke is facing 8 in the box quite a bit less than the top 3, I bet if you counted 0.5 seconds after the snap to account for run blitzes the Zeke number would be much higher.

And who defines "in the box"? Again, cool table but like all stats the nuances are important.

And your boy Demarco really needs no plug - anyone who refuses to accept he's a stud just isn't watching or at least doesn't know what they're looking at.

Believe it or not,I took the merciless quips and Rapier wit into lengthy consideration before I registered/joined this forum,,, cuz' some of these cats can skin you with their verbiage and or your lack thereof,,, kinda like it's imperative to immediately hand out properly prosed admonishment,,,but then again "so what?/who cares?"

So you are rooting for us to fail?

I have been a cowboy fan since 1974
