Regarding Drew and the OL

[Crown Royal]

Did anyone else notice that on a lot of the Eagles successful blitzes, that they seemed to know the snap count? They would be in their generic defensive look, and then, right when Drew is about 1-2 seconds from snapping, they began to flood gaps 1-4.

I kept yelling in chat that you HAVE to NOTICE THAT and slow down, or make an adjustment. Even if you don't call an audible, the line has to be able to read that and react to it. You can't snap it at the same time they start to show blitz. It was ridiculous.

Dunno if I was the only one, but that frustrated the hell outta me.

That has happened a lot over the last few years. Opposing defenses have been good at knowing the Cowboys snap count and sequence.

Dallas does not really use audibles. About the only thing they do is have two plays called and Drew uses that "kill" signal. Aikman talked about the "kill" being used as a signal to go max protect, but I don't think that is exactly true.
