Day after throughts- preseason week two

[ZeroClub]

The use of "Hostile" is out of line. You can say all the bad things you want about dbair and about any and all of the women in his family, but shit, don't call him Hostile. There are limits.

Also, this offense will be quite good.

When the optimism flows like sap into a bucket, I can only assume Hostile got a hold of sign on. Sure reads like it. You know the way Hostile has tried to polish the Garrett turd for six years amongst other things.

 

[dbair1967]

Whoa lets tap on the breaks there Hostile. While I am cautiously optimistic about the offense could we at least have a couple of regular season games where opposing D co ordinators game plan and throw everything at em before we start conjuring up visions of the 81 Chargers.

Eat a dick asshole

The offense SHOULD be good this year but we weren't setting the world on fire those first few games Romo was playing

Lets not forget the lack of creativity our offensive coaching has

That's true, but I don't think any of last years RB's are anywhere near as good as Elliott or Morris are now. And Dez got hurt in that first game against NYG after missing all of TC with that bad hamstring. He never looked right when he was on the field and obviously wasn't in the Philly game the next week.

Also wasn't last yrs NYG in week one where Romo got cheap shotted late in the game and it wasn't called? He didn't look right at all the next week and then he got busted up and was out with the collarbone.

I didn't find anything that dbair actually said dripping with optimism. We've known for quite a few years the issue we have is on defense, the offense just keeps getting better, yes last year it was a weakness, but any team that loses it's starting qb for basically the year in game 2 and it's starting wide out in game 1 for half a year while not finding it's starting running back until game 4 is gonna be hurting on offense. You can lose 1 of the 3, but you can't lose all 3 of the chain movers.

I know it's preseason, but Dak has gone, at least me me, from uggg why bother to a legit #2 and barring injury and ego a possible starter for this club in a couple years from now. The kid seems to be, much like Romo, a student of the game. And I know the Defenses aren't game planning at all, but that goes for all 32 teams supposedly. Why aren't any of the guys picked in the first 3 rounds doing just as well?

It seems like when Dak is in the distribution to the WRs is greater. Seems like Dez, then Bease, then TWillys boob, then Dez, then off Swaims hands etc. Its good stuff. Beasely has been running the crossing patterns with précision.

In worried about the defense not stopping the run. Almost seems like the rushmen are so intent on being lithe and speedy to the QB that they get manhandled in power running plays or they over run the play.

Dax Swanson. He also gets the Kellen Moore award for great works against 5th string opponents in scrub time. Plays aggressively and can return kicks.

I know it's just preseason but the Red Zone infertility looks so much like the regular season from 2008, 2010-2013, and 2015 that I can't help worrying. If it's a run its such a common run with no misdirection, motion or elements of surprise that teams can basically just load the line and run at the RB. If it's a pass. Same thing. Just wait for the snap and run at the QB or run with the WRs in a straight line.

What happened to that one play in the Bronco game where it was a huge fake handoff and short pass to the full back. What about sending Lucky on a fake. What about appearing to execute one kind of play and really disgusting another???

Omega, you'd have loved the 1975 team.

Omega, you'd have loved the 1975 team.

Which part?

 

[ZeroClub]

Every part.

Landry was at the top of his game. '75 was Landry's thought experiment. That offense was all about deception. Screens, reverse screens, middle screens, draws, fakes, roll outs. It was an intelligent offense. Cerebral. You'd have loved it. Preston Pearson catching a screen pass and then artfully following his blocks. ... it was a beautiful thing.

 

[dbair1967]

Was 75 the yr he brought the shotgun back?

 

[ZeroClub]

'75 was the year they used it regularly.

Landry kept an RB next to Staubach in the shotgun, to maintain the rushing threat. Of course.

Landry was remarkably good at this point in his career. He had a very well coached team.

75 was the first yr I remember watching their games. I think that was the year of the Dirty Dozen draft class too. Randy White, Hollywood Henderson, Burton Lawless, Bob Breunig, Pat Donovan, Randy Hughes, Mike Hegman, Herbert Scott, Scott Laidlaw

Of course White was the headliner and HOF player. But Donovan and Scott became perennial probowlers, Henderson had his issues but was a sensational player for a few years. Breunig was the MLB of the flex for years. Randy Hughes was a really good backup safety. hegman was a quality player.

 

[Midswat]

You guys are old af.

 

[ZeroClub]

and yet my weiner works better than yours.

 

[bbgun]

middy: "what is this 'flex' defense you speak of?"

 

[Midswat]

Well what is it?

 

[bbgun]

 

[dbair1967]

Well what is it?

It was a scheme that kicked ass in the 70's

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Damn Belichick is awesome. Even as big a curmudgeon as he is and as grudgingly as he gives genuine praise, you could hear the admiration in his voice.

Of course any coach with half a brain is going to feel that way about one of the best football coaches who ever lived.
