Why the Cowboys chose Mazi

Check out 21 min mark as Greg Cosell describes Mazi

I think this is why:
Eagles converted 36 of 39 QB sneaks with Hurts last year, good for a 92.3% conversion rate.

Yeah....Micah said "no more QB sneaks" after we drafted Mazi.

I just don’t watch him and see a guy that’s some dominant force that makes everyone better.

For sure the upside is there but I’d like for someone to show me a game where he’s just this huge presence for them.

He doesn't have to be that force right away. But mixed in with others, they will be a collective force.....team game....

If he can use his strength to push the pocket backwards and create a traffic of bodies in front of the QB that they can't step through when Micah is coming around the edge, then he's already doing enough as is in the passing game. Run game is self-explanatory already. Longer down and distances would be the biggest impact of course.

The Cowboys new short yardage play:

direct snaps to Deuce Vaughn.

Tyler Smith lined up behind Deuce and tosses him 10-yards over the line...

 

[TexasHillbilly]

The new push from behind rule makes it almost impossible to stop a 4 and less than a yard. Once again, the offense has the advantage.

 

[stinkface]

They are talking about outlawing that play.

Mazi isn't stopping the qb sneak lol. Yall already trying to set him up to fail smh. Eagles converted like 95 percent so why is a rookie changing that?

Some of those were helped by the "push" and hopefully that wont happen anymore if the rule changed to make that illegal, which in itself should be interesting how and when it gets called.

Well he better get ready bc that is exactly the expectation. Drafting a 300+lb nose in round one is to make the interior DL better at stopping the team from running up the middle. Running up the middle includes the QB sneak from your 2x a year division foe.

So we're not talking about dropping a deuce we're talking about tossing a deuce...

 

[Creeper]

The Eagles ran that same play against teams will All-Pro DTs with great success. I'd like to think the Cowboys drafted Mazi because they finally realized that they are weak up the middle and needed to improve their strength there. I don't think any one play or one team was involved in their decision.
