I think going in the Eagles bracket # 88 Sunday afternoon . Always a defender within reach . It makes two players Gallup & Cooks a must in the passing game . No excuses couldn’t get open not targeted etc etc .
Gallup & Cooks have to show up in the stat sheet early & often . And of course Dak has to get the protection to deliver . Running will be tough sledding .
* Cooks has the sheer jets and afterburners to run by past DBs on a
regular basis, ...and he's an underrated
route runner. Long reputed as one of the game's premiere speed WR, his full skill set simply has not been
exploited yet under this coaching staff.
* Gallup has separation issues as most of his catches are tightly contested - to make matters worse,
he has a tendency to run sloppy routes that causes several Dak INTs.
But we need his production and experience this season.
- Pollard is also one of more explosive players - but the coaching staff has failed us in that dept.
maybe the run game has its issues with the OL coach and the OL unit but there's no excuse
for not exploiting Pollard's speed in the pass game.
* No RB screens,.. quick swing flairs upfield, . no wheel routes ( ala ET Tienne vs Steelers) .. no isolation .. Zero !
Our Coaches simply dunno how to do so !!
* Turpin like Cooks, can really get upfield in such a eye blink, .. if he is untouched, not jammed, and gets a free release at the line. Ditto with his returns - untouched he can break it big for a TD.
But he has to be used in spots and certain occasions/specific package sets.
If we get him and Cooks on bunch formation and rub routes via go-fly and deep cross - secondary won't catch 'em.
