Screens

[jwooten15]

How is it possible for a team to be so bad at defending screens?

I think half of us could see them coming, but the cowboys just can not stop them. It’s infuriating.

This is a years-long issue.

Gives you a nauseous feeling because you just know they’re about to pick up 8-10 yards before even being touched. Over and over again.

im so sick of being gutted by the rams run game and screens.

Back 7 slow to read and react. Number 54 guesses a lot, and guesses wrong a lot.

Traditionally, screens work best against a blitz. Then there's always an exception, and may I present the DAL Cowboys.

Happens every year.

And we don’t execute screens particularly well ourselves.

Goes all the way back to Parcells

Doesn’t help that we have a LB like Jaylon who overplays and bites hard on everything

It really does. And you can watch around the league — some teams are so so disciplined and can sniff out a screen on call. It’s disgusting haha

Inept comes to.mind

We have been getting screened to death since Andy Reid used to do it up and down the field against us with the eagles.


It’s awful

I was surprised we didn’t see more screens. GB always ran them up there.

I’m questioning just how much of a “hybrid” this playbook is. I didn’t see any McCarthy influence aside from Zeke playing out wide a little more.

2-3 more mediocre offensive games and we might start hearing murmurs of McCarthy taking over playcalling duties

Really amazing given what we saw in 2018 but our LBs really can't cover all of a sudden. Whether that be Smith or LVE or Thomas or whomever we run out there. They get sucked in too often or they just overrun the play.

Hopefully going into the game, McCarthy told Stephen/Jerry I’ll give him a shot and if I don’t like it I’m changing it.

Well there were no adjustments to dealing with the pressure. Atlanta’s game plan is simple next week. Blitz all day long.

bad linebacker and safety play

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

All I can assume is the stench of the old coscbing staff is still here....that looked exactly like us last year.

 

[HungryLion]

I have to think the shortened off season affected installs.

the playbook tonight was a lot of Garret and Kellen stuff.

They need more film time,

 

[Redline360]

its just frustrating that we got dismantled by the screen then come out the second half with no adjustments.

Like seriously...

 

[Tabascocat]

Our linebackers suck....I could probably gain 5 on the outside against them
