Sturm: Marinelli Report - Eagles Dominated

[Sturm1310]

Five times in the history of the Dallas Cowboys, they have held their opponent under 1 yard per carry. That is 5 times in 56 seasons. 3 of those occasions were in the 1960s - Oct 30, 1966, the Cowboys held the Pittsburgh Steelers to 7 yards on 12 carries (0.58 ypc), Sept 17, 1967 against Cleveland for 17 carries and 11 yards (0.65 ypc), and Oct 8, 1967 at Washington 19 runs for 16 yards (0.84 ypc). The other 2 have happened in the last 4 Cowboys regular season games. Week 16 last year (Game 15) against the Colts - 10 carries for 1 yard (0.1 ypc) and of course, this past Sunday against a team that boasts the 2nd best rushing team in the last 2 season, the Philadelphia Eagles.

On Sunday, the Eagles called 17 run plays and racked up a grand total of 7 yards. This yards per carry of 0.41 was fantastic and only got into positive numbers in the final 3 minutes of the game. Otherwise, the Eagles were at 14 run plays for -4 yards.

Great read!

Byron Jones is impressing. The secondary has been very impressive this year. Lee is the leader of the team. The LBers will be dominant when Ro returns. And the D-line has been solid despite the lack of sacks, but that should change when Hardy and Gregory return. This defense has a chance to be special if everyone can remain healthy.

That 2nd video where Mincy blows past all pro Tackle Peters, and Peters just lets him go is awful! That looks like a team that is not motivated IMO. That is Jr High bad!

Maranelli is a pretty decent coordinator.....just sayin'

I actually think the guard was supposed to pick him up...hard to tell.

Either way, Sunday was a PERFECT example of how Chip's system does not work without elite speed at every position. So many times on Lee's plays, in college, the RB would have gotten the edge and gotten up field. That works against Oregon St., but not against Sean freaking Lee.
