Switzer, Beasley and elements of NE offense

[CowboysFaninHouston]

the one player I am really excited about is Switzer. if he is what we think he can be, then it adds an element to the offense that will make this offense even tougher to defend. We already know what Beasley means to this offense, no imagine Beasley, Switzer in the slot, with Dez Bryant on the outside and Zeke in the backfield along with Witten..... the possibilities will be endless with this line up. I don't expect switzer to do much early, but as he gets acclimated towards the end of the season. I can see us adding a lot of Patriot offensive elements to our offense with Switzer and Beasley similar to them using amendola and Edelman.

put Williams in and take witten out and spread the defense and let zeke run.

Switzer can play day 1. Not sure why people keep saying he won't do much early. He can play outside or in the slot.

I agree this offense will be deadly for sure

I don't see Witten ever coming off the field. This is a guy who consistently plays 97-100% of offensive snaps. Until he hangs up his cleats, that's probably not going to change under this coaching staff.

So if they decide to use Beasley and Switzer together, it would come at the expense of TWill's snaps. You'll likely see 1 RB-1TE-3WR(Dez/Beasley/Switz).

Just depends on how the offensive scheme has been tweaked for his special skill sets.

He can do what Beasley does. It remains to be seen if they have static carved out roles for each of the receivers or if they leave him to do what Whitehead did.

I would hope they have adjusted the scheme to open it up more.

Before and until we see that in action, it is hard to assume this will be a deadly multiple offense like New England has.

They need to get over that if they want to have a dynamic offense.

Witten is important, but if you are going empty and he is split out wide, you are basically looking at a short or barely to the sticks gain.

He is reliable and can still get open, but to get to the next level the staff needs to get over being Witten dependent.

It can be more potent then new England. Dakota is way more mobile then Brady and they don't have the OL or running back that Dallas has.

I think the offense opens up for the fact that Dak won't be a rookie anymore, getting Switzer just helps

....add in the mis-matches Rico can create .......

Teams will virtually be forced to play D on us the way the Giants did last year.....bring the house and hope for the best.

all pie-eyed stuff in here so far...

1) Switzer has to prove that he belongs on the field (I think he will)
2) Dallas has to WANT to use him
- they are HORRIBLE at looking at the 2nd TE (meaning that if you are not Dez, Witten or Beasley, you chances are limited), and this guy isn't gonna start over Beasley, so when will he get looks?

I think where he proves himself will be returning kicks (punts); once he shows his shiftiness, then perhaps he gets more time with the first team offense

I will believe it when I see it, but I would LOVE to see a more dynamic offense

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

I think Switzer can play. I also think it will be tough sledding for him to make a big dent this year barring injury. With Witten, Dez and Beasley all proven entities - and with only 49 percent of our snaps dedicated to passing anyway - there won't be many passes directed his way.

People keep saying that about Switzer mainly because of what we do and have done for years.

Even back to Garrett's tenure as an offensive coordinator, he has pegged roles for the WRs. Amendola had some punt muffs that led to him being cut, but Garrett was also hung up on his inability to play on the boundary. That preference is why we keep bringing in the 6 foot 2 plus WRs. They run and have always run a scheme dependent on the outside players big enough to benefit from staying close to the sidelines and working the edges. That is why we continued to draft the Devin Streets of the world. Finally, Beasley makes so many plays that a "slot" receiver becomes a necessity and now we are drafting Beasley insurance.

At the end of the day, until they get a little more flexible with the talent and modifying the concepts of the scheme, it is not likely to get what people think we can get out of them.

New England does that. Edelman, Amendola, Hogan and now Andrew Hawkins are all "slot" receivers but it is not like they are surrounded by the big tall lengthy receivers to bracket them. They do everything. The route tree concepts they employ are designed to stress the opponent more than any other in the league. Dallas has a long way to go, and this is directed at the scheme, to be considered "potent" in that way.

I don't think you are going to see a ton of Switzer and Beasley on the field at the same time like you see NE does with Edelman, Amendola, etc.

It won't matter unless there are tweaks involved to the scheme.

 

[RS12]

All he does is make plays. All they have to do is get him the ball.

 

[EGTuna]

S11 and 11 have been their bread and butter formation for 3 years now, and I see them only being used more with Switzer if he is who we think he is. LBs can't hang with Switzer and Beasley, and if it's 5-6 DBs they're facing, it's Elliott all day. Presents quite a dilemma for defenses, which is what Sturm is always talking about when you make defenses wrong know matter what personnel group they deploy.

I think he can too, just not sure if they will give him the chance if everyone is healthy. He will have to shine when he gets his chance and force them to play him.

I am very excited as well. But unless of an injury I wouldnt expect him to have more than 25-30 receptions this year. We will mostly see him on special teams. Envision a Dunbar type role on offense.

All nice conceptually. As for the Elliott all day thing, it was Elliott 3/4ths of the time and then the weapon that was Lance Dunbar.

Hopefully that idiocy is over with.

Well considering he's never made a single play in a NFL game, it might be wise to slow the roll here.

I get some of you like him. I like him. But geez..............

 

[Texas_Pete]

Check him out at the 1:37 mark:



Very nice footwork. He'll be deadly in no time.

Awesome point. I won't mind seeing McFadden on 3rd from time to time, but agree. Dunbar gave them nothing. The most overhyped JJ project since Tyson Thompson.
