When teams stack the box for the run

[CowboyChris]

someone explain to me why we cant lineup in 4 WR sets and spread out defenses, and pound away? surely with 4 WR's that takes away 4 defenders, leaving only 7 to play the middle of the field....right?

wouldn't you think if we started the game with those type of sets, defenses will be on their heels?

You spread out with 4 recievers and you only of 5 blockers for their 7 defenders. What's so great about that?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Well according to Garrett, Dez is drawing double coverage, so that's 2 players. They are stacking the box with 8, so 8+2=10. Then you have Witten, TWill, Zeke and Beasely singled up, so that 4 more players. That's 14 players.

So the answer, according to Garrett is that the other team plays with 14 players, giving them a big advantage!

The real reason, of course, is that Garrett couldn't scheme or game plan out of a wet paper bag!

 

[Ren]

The Giants stacked the box every time Dak was under center. Until he can drop back and pass from under center teams will keep doing it

well that leaves 4 wr's one on one, if they can't exploit that, then this team is worthless. Dez would be the best wr in the NFL. But Garrett is stubborn and sends out 2 TEs, letting the defense know when they are running.

if you line up 4 WR's, they can't stack the box whether he is under center or not. is my point

 

[Mr Cowboy]

The Giants stacked the box every time Dak was under center. Until he can drop back and pass from under center teams will keep doing it

they did that because there were 2 TEs lined up tight in a running formation.

 

[Old'Boyfan]

The Giants stacked the box every time Dak was under center. Until he can drop back and pass from under center teams will keep doing it

And teams were doing it when Romo was playing as well, yet our coaching staff still hasn't figured it out.

Because we have a qb who can't pass from those formations yet

Dallas' best runs were under center with Morris. Not sure why they stayed in shotgun with Zeke and went under center with Morris.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Because we have a qb who can't pass from those formations yet

first of all, why telegraph that they are running by bringing in the TEs tight? Second of all, if he can't pass from that formation, why put him under center?

 

[The Natural]

You mean like the how the giants did to us?

Yesssss

Because without Romo the big play is almost non existent.

Garrett plays not to lose.. 7-9/Cleveland Brown BS.

Romo doesn't settle for that crap. Parcells and Sean Payton showed him the ropes. He's learned from great coaches and he knows how to strike.

Garrett either needs to figure this thing out and start helping the team or just get out of the way and get a coach in here that can help.

I don't want to see us play 50/50 football anymore. You play to win the game.


Get Dez in the flow of this thing. If teams want to cheat against the run then make them pay but don't let the Giants or anyone else dictate what we do for 4 quarters anymore!

It should be the Dez Bryant and Ezekiel Elliot show and instead im watching the Cole Beasley and JAson Witten play not to lose show.

 

[CowboyChris]

exactly....they could run the ball down our throat.

totally agree.
no imagination by the coaches

i would even line up dez and witten on the same side but with witten on the outside!
no way they put a LB on dez but they can go ahead and put a S/LB (better run defender) to cover witten on the outside
they could cross their patterns and cause more havoc

even if they single cover all 4 receivers, that would leave 7 defenders in the middle.
7 defenders have to deal with 5 OL, zeke/morris and a QB that can run

chances are the D will be in nickel or dime, and we would have a big advantage in the running game.

 

[Eddie]

Teams were stacking the box all season last year. Nothing has changed. The dink dunk O is a major failure. I would have rather lost going away ... but having Dak air it out when it counted.

 

[sbark]

It's a shortcoming of daks college training...spread offense...he apparently doesn't have the 3..5..7 step drop and throw down pat

 

[CowboyChris]

I disagree....i think its a shortcoming of our staff....Dak can easily make those handoffs....play action, read options in those sets.

 

[waldoputty]

it does not matter.
if we play 4 wide, it will open up the running game.

even if the D plays single coverage on all 4 WR (Witten included), that leaves 7 to play in the box.
if they play NO SAFETY even with 4 WR, then they have 7 run defenders against our OL, Zeke/Morris and our QB who can run.
if they play a single safety, then that leaves 6 defenders in the box against our OL, Zeke/Morrris and our QB who can run.
i like those odds.
