Whole New Offense

[dantheman41]

There has been a lot of talk with the new "Romo Friendly" offense. All the details of what that means we don't know.

But there have been whispers that this is going to be a more uptempo higher paced offense allowing Romo to basically call the shots at the line of scrimmage utilizing his high football IQ to read the defensive looks.

This excites me for a variety of reasons. In fact, I was calling for it last season when it worked so effectively to get up and down the field.

Less Predictability - Rather then allowing the defensive coaches to dictate their personnel and line up the proper guys to stop what the offense is doing, this allows Tony to outpace the defense. Not only will this cause fatigue on the defense, but it will create frustration and cause problems for the coaches. (12 men on the field etc...)

More offensive line friendly - This new offense will create less pressure on the offensive line. Quicker plays, quicker snapping the ball and quicker getting the ball out. They are going to need to be in excellent condition to withstand the pace of the game.


Let's hope this is the plan, and they are finally adapting to this seeing as it has worked excellent in the limited time they have used a quicker paced offense. All on board?

I must admit I am very excited to see how this new offense works especially with all the receivers we have now!

It is hard for me to believe after how many years with Red as his OC, that all of a sudden, the drafting of a C/G and a TE is going to change everything they do on Offense.

Let's avoid the echo chamber, but yes. I think it makes sense.

Let's say we go 12 formation, no huddle. This means the defense is stuck on the field without be able to change personnel.

They have two options, they can go base formation or they can go nickel.

Let's assume they go base. You can now take Escobar and Witten out wide, and Linebackers have to come out to cover them. Either that or you bring a safety down to cover them, which leaves a hole in deep coverage for at least one wide receiver. Which is really dangerous.

Spread wide, we can also run against this formation.

Let's say they go nickel. Well it'll be much easier for Escobar to block a corner than it will be for him to block a linebacker...

So we now get the advantage in the running game.

This is a huge departure from how we ran the 12 before, because we didn't really have that legitimate passing threat.

How does this differ from a 3 receiver set? Well because in a 3 receiver set, that corner isn't really mismatched when put up against a tight end.

When you put a corner on a tight end, there is a huge size advantage. When you put a linebacker on a athletic tight end, there is a speed difference.

It all comes down to the O-line and if Tony, is afforded any time in the pocket and the running game improves then this will a highly potent offense but hey we say this every offseason lets hope it works out.

The drafting of Smith and Frederick are the two largest concerted efforts we've had to improve our offensive line since Garrett has been the Offensive Coordinator here.

The drafting of Gavin Escobar gives us the best pass catching tight end we've had since we drafted Jason Witten. He might even be a better pass catcher than Witten. That is a lot to think about.

They are also tight lipped about who will call the plays but at the end of the day it will be Callahan as the play caller.

It's not a new offense. The Cowboys have been trying to make the 12 Personnell formations their base offense for years. The failure or Bennett at TE and a lack of WR depth had really limited them. But if these first 3 picks pan out then they'll finally have all the chips they need to play the offense they always wanted to play.

 

[Frozen700]

If there are 4 players in this league who are great at playing Backyard Football, and changing their routes on the fly.

It's Romo, Dez, Miles and Witten...

So this is great news

That is correct ** as for some comparing Escobar, to that of Fasano, and Bennett because of the failure of them not becoming what they envisioned I just don't see that with Escobar, maybe I'm wrong but I think they got it right this time at TE.

 

[Parcells4Life]

While we all pray and hope it will be the uptempo, no huddle offense what are the "whispers" you speak of besides what we've speculated on the message boards?

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high until I see it from a credible source in the know.

Like I said, all of the first 3 picks have to hit.

The threat of 12 Personnell is that defenses don't know run or pass. But without the threat of run they can simply play the pass. With 12 Personnell you have no FB so the middle of the OL must get the push to threaten run.

That's where the first pick of C comes in. With Murray now running behind Frederick the run can finally threaten the Degense.

And finally the WR pickup was huge because you can't play 12 personal all the time. But if you want to threaten in similar fashion with receivers you need a solid 3 to play a 3 WR set. Sot the Williams pick is huge too, if it hits.

You will get no argument from me on this post.

Where are all these rumors about a faster paced offense comin from? I haven't seen anything about that

The right side still looks inadequate though unless Frederick plays RG. Murray only averaged 3.2 ypc running to the right last year which is horrible.

I think a tackle will be signed...and a training camp without a ton of injuries should help whoever is in at RG. Plus,having a powerful center will really help the G.

 

[FiveRings]

I'm obviously very thrilled about this, but at the same time I have to think, if they just let Romo have control of his offense last year, instead of drafting a whole new one, we wouldn't have seen an 8-8 repeat.

Kind of goes back to my Escobar vs. Hanna debate. Is Escobar better? Probably, but the guys last year were more than capable of doing the job if they were just utilized correctly.

 

[Verdict]

As I said in another thread ... If we don't use a 13 package with three thighs ends then this was a luxury pick and negates what we have in Hanna.

 

[KB1122]

The 12 is yesterday's offense. Read Option is the future.

This is almost on the level as the guy last year who said "we need to trade Jenkins because he is going to spend the whole game on the bench." Players rotate in and out. They do for every team. And it doesn't hurt to have depth.

And considering that we will likely carry only 3 TEs, a formation with 3 TEs maybe shouldn't be anything more than a marginal part of our offense.
