I think the Cowboys should experiment w/ the rolling pocket. This could allow time for Bledsoe & help w/ a pocket passer. It seems to work well w/ other teams. It normally gives extra time & keeps defenses off-balance.
Quincy Morgan should remain on the team. What will the depth at safety be like.
I will sign off & hear your comments.

... we will be watching Jello harden if we send Bledsoe on a rollout. :eek::

I'm not a big fan of slowly developing plays in today's NFL. He also isn't noted for his footwork or his foot speed. He's most comfortable in a nicely formed pocket.

Not alot of slow developing plays work too well. Too much speed on defense. The draw works real well because of the overpursuit by rushers..slow developing pass plays with a QB who already holds the ball too long and isn't at his best avoiding the rush/while being rushed, doesnt seem like a geat idea. Bledsoe is a straight back passer

It seemed like to me Elway & Favre always had a extra time when they were running these plays & more times than not they would catch the defense sleeping & have all day w/ a couple blockers in front especially when its executed properly.

True. But Bledsoe doesnt move like Elway or Favre. Moving Bledsoe, and having him throw on the run just doesn't seem like a great idea...not saying he wont be able to set his feet, but if it comes down to it, it's not his strong point. I'm sure BP will throw in plenty of roll outs and stuff, he always does.

Maybe just a couple plays a game. They could use something to get out of the vanilla offense. This isn't 95 where they lined up w/ the Big three & beat the D straight up.
