An article came out sometime last season indicating the Cowboys were interested in running the two TE/two WR set. It may have been early in the season prior to the trading for RW11.
The premise is that with two competent TE's such as Witten and Bennett, along with two skilled WRs, the team can play an inside out game.
The article broke it down like this. The TE's challenge the seams of the zone's by running up field. This causes one-on-ones with the WR's who run ins and outs.
The reverse could also be true with the TE's running ins and outs as the WR's run the hash marks.
This seems like such a potent offense with a one-back set. But it requires the receivers to be aware of the blitz and break off routes. It also requires Romo to recognize and find the open man if a blitz comes.
This seems predicated on how well Austin does. Because what formation and routes and how it will cause the double to come from linebackers either trying to follow swift TEs or trying to make up ground on WRs in outs.
This puts a premium on Austin's grasp of the offense and his ability to beat his man.
Any opinions on this?
I do hope beats the - let's trade this untradeable player, or what TO/Jerry/Wade/Redball/Romo/Crayton/Newman said in the last twenty-four hours. Or how ESPN and the media will twist events from the G20 to the price of oil into a comment about Dallas not winning a play-off game in the last decade.
