The rpo might be a problem for us again

[cowboys5xsbs]

On the giants first drive they ran right at us and Danny was killing us with the read option. The defense was playing ahead after that and the giants went away from it. I still feel shakey if we play the Eagles and hurts is killing us in the run game again.

Philly barely beat a Cooper Rush Quarterbacked team last season. Hurts did almost nothing that game. There is no reason to think this.

Danny had a few successful scrambles. That’s not the RPO.

Not to mention Barkley was basically shut down after the first drive.

Read Option and RPO are two different things.

I don’t know how you watched last night and think this defense will have issues.

Tons of talk happened last night from players and coaches saying they made a quick adjustment. It never happened again. They totaled 38 yards on that drive. Not a big deal.

Let them run it. It's unsustainable. You can't score points without throwing it.

We just need it to pour down buckets of rain every week.

I'd have to go back and rewatch, but I'm not sure that most of DJs runs were designed runs. Seems like the Cowboys just got a little wild in their pass rush which opened up running lanes for him to scramble. They will certainly have to be more aware of that in the future, but it seems like they got it corrected right away.

The Run Pass Option, or RPO, involves the QB identifying a defender with run or pass responsibility, waiting for him to commit, and then either giving the ball to the running back or passing it to the receiver.

The zone read option involves the QB reading the defensive end and determining whether to hand ball off or take it himself.

Did the Giants run any of either?

The issue early was 55. He was terrible. Washed out multiple times. They need him to spy the QB in rpo and react quicker. He settled in but it was a rough start.

 

[fivetwos]

Aaron Rodgers and the NY Jets won’t be running that.

They are all we need to focus on for now.

Can’t beat Philly when we aren’t playing them.

Eagles were lucky to win yesterday.
basically Bellichick screwed up on some coaching decisions.

I hate to agree with you. seems like we struggle against QBs that run. we can't contain them. not sure why.

we run rush stunts, its also the reason we sacked him 7 times, but it will leave lanes if picked up.

Newsflash; the defense will not post 17 shutouts. They’ll have games where they give up 20 or more points. However, the overall performance of the D throughout the season will be one of the best, if not the best, in the league as long as they don’t suffer too many injuries.

this, and in those 20 point games the offense needs to pick up the slack. For the other 12 games the opposing QB is going to hate life alot. If Rogers limps off the field tonight its because he watched this defense last nite and will need week 2 off.
