Tonight: Cowboys first offensive play will be ?

[Doomsday101]

You attack a team's weakness. Simple as that.

The Eagles' weakness is their secondary. They have no pass rush we need to attack the secondary which will in turn open up the running game.

I think Dallas will pass but I don't think Dallas truns into a pass happy team aginst Philly. Dallas is not going to take big chances when deep in our own territory not with the defense that we have.

laterall to witten in the slot, who fakes a pass downfield, flips it back to bledsoe, touchdown pass to a wide open glen.

 

[KingTuna]

We're going to throw on our first offensive play...Maybe short to intermediate in length..

I think we come out and pass right off to try and set the offensive pace.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

A reverse to Keyshawn and he races 72 yards for the score.

OK seriously...Julius Jones to the left for 2 yards.

I'm not saying we need to go pass happy...just that we need to take advantage of their weakness. We need to make sure we keep them from blitzing all night long, too.

 

[Zman5]

draw to JJ for 15 yards.

I don't disagree with that but even Parcells had said after the 1st meeting that it is easier to be aggressive when you have great field position to do so. That is why I mentioned in the 1st meeting Dallas 1st 4 possession with the ball were at mid field or in Philly territory. I think Dallas will take their shots at Philly and I want us to be aggressive but smart.

Dave Shore on ESPN Dallas said he talked to someone on the team, and our first scripted plays on offense are heavily weighted to throwing and attacking, just like in the first game.

Also, that we'll blitz McNabb early and try to get some shots in on his ribs, even if means giving up a long pass or two.

FWIW.

Look for the boys to do the opposite of what they did last meeting. They will pound the ball all game long. Witten will also have a big game, since they will be covering Glenn deep with safety help. This will be an old-fashioned smash-mouth NFC East game. JJ will be over 100, and Marion III will be around 75 yards. It won't be a blowout though, just a thorough dominant smash-mouth game. Our 1st play will be a run between the tackles, and our 2nd play will be a run off-tackle. Then we'll hit Witten/Key over the middle for a modest gain. If we don't turn it over (ie snap snaffu), we'll control the clock, and they'll rollover by the third quarter.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Double wr reverse then a throw back to a wide open Bledsoe for an 80 yd td

 

[Z-ro Cowboy]

The boys will have to wait on their first offensive play, after Tyson Thompson takes the opening kickoff 100+ yards!!!

 

[TheHustler]

Play Action pass to Glenn

That's what I'm hoping for!

Depending on the coin toss you could actually be on defense. Believe the COwboys will take "tails."

If your first defensive play contains a blitz package to bring pressure on D-Nabb, you may get a Brian Westbrook coming up underneath for some serious breakaway yardage.

By the time you get the ball, we should have either scored either a TD or a field goal.

If your first offensive play is a run play, and philly jams it up for little or no gain; than that's what you should expect all night. I realy don't expect to see too Much running plays from the shotgun position due to the noise my fellow fans will generate. Therefore, third and short may be a problem for the Cowboys -- in fact third and anything may present problems.

You may have more success with your passing game. But if your offense
starts out with a pass play, the Eagles will Not be fooled by the Likes of Terry Glenn.

So it's going to be a real interesting dogfight -- but dogfight it will be!

An up the middle running play.........whether we like it or not.

Looks like 'ol PT is back in PRE-season form.....

I think the first play will be left side to JJ...... when we get the ball... :laugh2:

 

[Qwickdraw]

pass to Witten

 

[Charles]

Option play .......Bledsoe tosses to Julius (Drew get creamed by Trotter)........Julius is up ended in the back-field by Lito Sheppard for a 5 yard loss

 

[BigDFan5]

Fumbled snap on the QB/ Center exchange

No worries though the 2nd play is a 11 yard pass to Witten

 

[dargonking999]

A run to the right side with Julius Jones, for 3 yards, and the threads of barber shoudl be starting

 

[Chuck 54]

I think most teams expect a first down pass...there's nothing they'd love better than to sack your QB on first down, but they'll come from inside with the DE's closing down the line, thinking it will be a short drop and quick pass.

I'd open up with a toss sweep and let JJ pick his hole for a nice positive pickup, which would then lead to a pass on 2nd down for the first down.

Avoiding a 3 and out on the first possession is huge. They gave up big plays to Glenn last time, so this time their CBs will play softer, which is easier to run on....besides, when on the road, you have to run the football, and right now, Philly is vulnerable to the running game.
