The Screen Play will return

[Ken]

The biggest change we will all see right off the bat is the return of one of the staple plays in football....the screen play.

There is no way we will not turn into one of the better screen teams in the NFL. Our OL with Steele and minus Tyron can run this play with the athletes we have on that line. Not since Parcells have we seen a consistent screen game on this team.

Garrett and his lineage had no idea how to implement one.

Can't wait.

I agree, no more excuses this year

Then you'll be watching the wrong team.

Whoa! You are totally right. Good thought...took my memory back a ways. Did the Cowboys even run one this season?

 

[Yoshimitsu]

I felt like I haven't seen a screen pass since Zeke took one to the house his rookie year.

There are always going to be an excuse for something...that's life.

Screen play is always at high risk for a pic 6

Can Dak complete a screen pass? I feel like the closer the player is to him the worse he throws it.

....you are placing a lot of faith in Dak's ability to make such an accurate pass.

Let me see.
Dak throwing into a crowd under pressure.
What could possibly go wrong

Do you mean something like this?

Dak freaking sucks throwing a screen. It's so bizarre but he's usually off target or it goes the other way.

They might have, a true screen. But the defense always knows its coming because we don't know how to coach the finer points of selling the play.

Also, Zeke has not had a good screen play since his 83 yarder vs Pittsburgh his rookie year. Why we never see that anymore is beyond me.

 

[Ken]

No that is a smoke screen we run ad nauseum.

Like this...

We need this play in our playbook.

It has never been taught to the team...but, I remember that play and have not seen a real screen play since way the hell back when. lol

Screen play... I've heard my father talk about those being ran successfully in Dallas, by the Cowboys. I always assumed it was the rantings of an old drunk man but maybe he wasn't pulling my leg.

In all seriousness I hope it does return.

 

[Havic]

Screen play is always at high risk for a pic 6

Only if you throw it when DB is right up to the line of scrimmage.

 

[erod]

Screens are effective against man coverage. Dak can't throw into zone coverages, and teams figured that out. Teams now run zone a ton against Dallas. So screens are kaput.

Basic football 101.

Meanwhile, Kellen Moore gets to open up the other 75% of his playbook with Herbert. He'll be an entirely different OC with the Chargers.

lol...your dad was not pulling your leg. When your dad used to get drunk was when the Dallas Cowboys were the winners...time to celebrate and get drunk. Now, we just get drunk because of these wanna be Cowboys.
