Sturm: Decoding Linehan - Week 10

The biggest question mark with the charting for me is where were the throws in the middle of the field?


Watching All22, we rarely send anyone to the deep middle between the 20s.
 
That final play, is that Butler getting behind the defence? Tony would likely have gone that way instead...

The problem with Dez getting his throws, is that all those are contested throws, 50/50 balls. Why not run slants, crossing patterns where he can catch it on the run, put him in motion, bunches from the slot. Don't just run him deep and make all his throws challenged. Poor strategy. Linehan ran Calvin from all areas of the filed, not just go patterns and challenged catches.

That's true but I'm of the belief that Calvin, in his prime, was on a whole other level.
 
So obviously it wasn't all "dink & dunk". Some long throws were attempted... They just weren't completed. Free contributed to some of that.

They have a paywall after you read a few articles. You can get around it by using Google's Translate site.

Use this link to get to the "translated" version of sportsday.***BANNED-URL*** site: http://translate.google.com/transla...day.***BANNED-URL***/dallas-cowboys&sandbox=1
The images will look a little out of place, but once you click on a link to an article it looks fine.
Once at the translated site you can put the OP article url in the search box and it will come up: http://sportsday.***BANNED-URL***/d...coding-linehan-taking-shots-connecting-enough
