Just a suggestion, you don't have to put "Read It" at the end of every topic title you start. If people are interested, they're going to read it.

Also, WATCH OUT WITH YOUR CAPS.

Oh, and the link doesn't work.

I read it.

I wish Wade would stop using that stupid Cover4 so much and let the DBs play more man2man.

Best thing about this thread is the article's link to ProFootballFocus.com, which tracks coverage stats for defensive backs.

In their 3-4 OLB rankings (not sure what their formula is, but based on a quick glance I can tell I'll likely have a problem with it) they have Spencer ranked as the 6th best 3-4 OLB and Greg Ellis ranked as as the 45th best 3-4 OLB. Hell, I didn't even know there were 45 3-4 OLBs in the league.

Ellis is ranked as the 2nd to worst 3-4 OLB against the run in the league, which at least fits with the fact that Wade began pulling Ellis and using Spencer on run downs.

Yeah...if someone would teach them to actuall LOOK for the ball...!

Too many times I see the corners just playing the eyes of the reciever and never take a peek back to see where the ball is...!

Other teams do it, why not the Cowboys?

Well, I think we have the talent this year to actually make the pic. TNew and our young corners can really play and I see WP letting them be more aggressive this season...
