The Foreshadowing of our First Possession

Please... this is a family site. Keep your Carlton(s) in your closet.

Copy! Bad,Bad, Carlton's of ghostly remembrance,,, back,,back to the dark corners of
Un remembered.

The opening drive was earily similar to the one against GB last year, at GB, when we went down the field in like a minute, but Butler caught the TD.

Very impressive stuff folks. But Steve Spagnolo and company will have a lot to say about that in a couple of weeks.

As a Dak Prescott fan from before his combine, these posts warm my heart.

Zeke turns those 8-12 yard runs into15-20 yard runs.

Or 60 yard touchdown runs,

 

[jblaze2004]

Run game looked good without Zeke, but Mcfadden seems to run with his eyes closed once he finds the hole. No vision or cutting ability. Zeke turns those 5 yard runs into big plays. Mcfadden is a get whats there type of runner, put his head down and try to get a extra yard or two. Morris and Smith actually runs with better vision. Oh and that fumble in the redzone is what loses games. That was atleast 3 points right there.

Anyone miss Tony Romo?

Just the Romo sexuals.

 

[DogFace]

I dont see any positive in Zeke getting suspended other than him learning his lesson. But it will be nice to see how Dak handles the pressure of having to do more.

I'm generally more optimistic than you.

Zeke turns those 8-12 yard runs into15-20 yard runs.

In Zeke's first season he averaged 5.1 ypc. Mcfadden's last full season he was at 4.6 ypc.

We're pretending that Zeke is Sanders and Mcfadden and co are udfas now?

Anyone miss Tony Romo?

A healthy Romo?

*raises hand*

And no 8 preseason passes does not change my thought on that one way or the other. People really are prisoners of the moment...

Anyone giddy about what you saw in our first possession? I am.
Here's what I saw:

1. Dak passing with no runningback deep in enemy territory.
2. Spread offense with 5 receivers.
3. Dez running a simple slant to get us out of the hole.
4. Hurry up offense. When did we ever see that on our first possession?
5. Our run game up the middle was devastating. It won't matter who runs the ball.
6. Dak's poise is unbelievable. Its better than last years.
7. Dak's arm seems stronger and has better accuracy.
8. Dak's checkdown technique reminds me of Aikman's.
9. We might come to realize we are a better passing team than most will want to admit. Thanks for the suspension Mr. Goddell.

Hope we keep it even during the season.

You had me until #9. ____ the Commish.

Every time I see Dak out there, it's somewhat surreal. Deep down, I'm still sort of concerned that he will falter somehow, but it's just not happening. He just looks so calm out there, as if his offensive line is the US army protecting us against Peru.

Great writeup !!!

Good to see you again. Welcome back and look forward to your post and comments again

 

[CATCH17]

Dez looked 5 years younger then he has looked in years.


He was moving so well. Very sharp and very quick.

Agreed. I think this is going to be a renascence year for Dez.

I noticed this too. Looks leaner and quicker. If he doesn't get hurt, he could have a MONSTER year.

I added that because someone it takes a crisis to force change.

In Zeke's first season he averaged 5.1 ypc. Mcfadden's last full season he was at 4.6 ypc.

We're pretending that Zeke is Sanders and Mcfadden and co are udfas now?

Half a yard is a decent spread at this level. Half a yard more for Zeke and he's with the best of al time in ypc.


Let's not forget td's and gamebreaking plays.

 

[ConstantReboot]

I agree with your thoughts
One caveat is that tuning inside on the Giants and Eagles will be FAR more difficult and they will put much more pressure on Dak than the Colts

Yes Giants and Eagles will be harder. But it seems we might not have to be more reliant on the run and become less predictable. We could play a spread offense and force the defense to play wide. Thus less chances of them blitzing and forcing man to man coverage.

Anyone miss Tony Romo?

Only those of us that actually understand football. Our backup QBs are a joke.
