Where was the vaunted 12 package?

[Teague31]

Seems like we went 3 wide all night. Another wasted 2nd round TE.

Lol, your by yourself complaining on win night. Keep that crap for Monday.

 

[theogt]

We have more talented receivers than TEs. So play more WRs than TEs.

Escobar may have had a TD if he'd tightened his shoelaces.

A lot of people are complaining tonight. There's a lot to complain about.

But I agree with the OP that we didn't utilize the 12 formation a lot. However, I would say that Hanna doesn't seem cut out to be our #2 TE this season. I think Escobar will step up and be our #2 TE within the next few weeks. He's not a bad player. I just would have preferred a DT in the 2nd.

I thought Escobar played really well. He has nice hands, was where he was supposed to be, got more snaps than I thought he might, and he recovered that ball for us with a very heads-up play.

I think you're complaining about nothing. And, hey, we won!

 

[Hoofbite]

It was out there quite a bit but not sure how much. I kind of lost track of the 2TE offense when I started trying to figure out what the hell the team was doing in the pistol formation.

Wildcat. Pistol.

Is there a flavor of the week scheme that this offense won't try?

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that one. That was pretty frustrating.

You got a lot to complain about if your the Giants. Cowboys gotta little tightening up to do.

By himself? have you looked at th 49 or so other negative posts?

Yeah, shame he didn't get to that ball. Would have changed a lot of people's minds around here. Had a clutch 3rd down reception too from memory.

It would have, changed peoples' minds. But that doesn't have to get in the way for the rest of us. He played a pretty good first game for us. I'll take it and watch how the guy develops.

I'm not trying to blow the trumpet for the guy or anything, I think the only reason I'm rooting for him is cause he gets so much flack from the forum. Hopefully he pans out.

Meh, I'd be a little more forgiving of these things if we had 2 fairly recent Lombardis to look at.

[theebs]

We played a lot of two and three tight end sets.

It just was all spread out. Witten and Escobar were routinely outside.

Escobar looks good lined up outside.

Which is weird since all the pushy know it alls here told me he wasn't even good enough to be active and was the next bobby carpenter. Weird huh.

Facepalm.

 

[InmanRoshi]

There were tons of 12 personnel packages. We even ran 13 out of the gun, which I don't think I've seen before.

Go home, you're drunk.

I don't know, there seem to be a lot of Zoners who want to bench Williams, and now Escobar, after one game that we won. I think if we can get these two guys going, our offense will be better by crunch time in December. We actually gave up the farm to sign Roy Williams with Miles Austin running back kickoffs and sitting on the bench the rest of the time. Let's not make that mistake again.

I think that the biggest thing with Escobar is that people are really upset (including myself) that we spent another 2nd on a TE after Fasano/Bennett. Unless the results are showing up in the form of catches and touchdowns it's hard to really appreciate the pick. I can say for certain that I'd rather them have used that pick on several other positions before TE.
