Dallas with Huge Success using the 2012-15 Seahawks Offense

Watched the Dallas Cowboys game with extreme interest today.

My mission: figure out how Elliott is tearing it up, and to decide at what point it will be clear that Prescott forces Romo to clutch the clipboard, regardless of health, for the remainder of the season.

The Dallas offense was unstoppable today. They have an offensive identity established that they will build on, and for the first time in recent years, I am now developing a legitimate concern about that team creating a roadblock against our bid for HFA in the playoffs.

Paying extreme attention to play calling today, it became clear that the read option, utilizing a variety of TE alignments and blocking, was extremely effective for them. Two reasons for this: Dallas has simply come to the conclusion that manipulating the linebackers and down field coverage is more of a crapshoot than a consistent plan. They have made the conscious decision to focus on reading the DE, making an account for the WS linebacker and S is so much easier, than taking the occasional down field shot without a complete one-on-one isolation (in hopes of a DPI call) futile as well. They used deception with regard to how protections would be utilized on play action which was affective in getting the Bengals LB's to commit.

With an ailing Dez now cheerleading, they were forced into it, but I see them coming out of film study next week with this new tool in the box, and teams are going to need to get their defenses to disguise and confuse and blitz much less for any hope to contain the middle leaving a super fast and slashing Zeke to command the safety respect and getting more on-on-ones in the intermediate pass game.

For all intents and puposes, they have simply adopted about 20 percent of what the Seahawks had done with Wilson and Lynch 2013-2015, and applied it using a variety of relatively easy TE, LT, and guard blocking schemes to isolate and read the DE.

Their O-line is top shelf. Early on, they handled things by experimenting with blocking to find those isolation and read techniques to curtail both DT stunting, and creating running lanes. The blitz is now much easier for them based on the moble abilites of Prescott.

Marker my words ( :mrgreen: ) If this week's analyst's vocal puking doesn't draw correlations to the Hawks 12-15 Offensive stuff, at an almost disgustingly repetitiven pace, I'll eat my hat.

It was as though the Cowturds basically, and blatantly, stole a good chunk of the Hawks playbook, and they beat the total shit out of those hapless Bengals up front, clearing running lanes with surgical precision. Film study this week will solidify their belief in that investment, as Prescott and Elliott are going to continue to destroy teams using this scheme.

I will be showering following this post, with bleach, but nothing was more abundantly clear for me today.

Also getting away with a crap ton of holding everyweek helps as well. The rooks have looked good so far but haven't been tested.

Their defense is still crap.

.....the Hawks showed teams how you keep Prescott in check in the preseason, hit him hard and hit him often. He couldn't hit the broadside of a barn after Wagners stick and when Sherman sent him flying back 10 yards after his hit. Be interesting if GB puts Mathews to spy and get some hits on Dak.

I think Erin is going to Shred the *allas defense.

This Cowboy team with more or less the same roster won in Seattle.

And would have won last year if they had a QB functioning at 75% of Prescott's level.

The key to beating Seattle #1 is to not allow them to get in your head.

So far the Rams, Cards, Cowboys, Panthers , Packers are in that boat. Vikings are in that boat pretty much too.

Only the Niners kneel to the Hawks.

Sorry but they are definitely NOT using Bevell's offense. What they are doing is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Those route combinations are Air Coryell, not WCO-spread stuff that Bevell runs. Sure, they are using some zome read concepts, and yeah they are pounding the rock, but no they aren't running Bevell's offense. Not even close.

Your list of teams is pathetic. The only team on there correctly is the Rams. Going off the top of my head here is the records of the rest of the teams Vs the Hawks the last few years.

Cards 2-4 under Arians. Yes they won 2 games in Seattle but they have yet to win their own home games.

Cowboys 1-2 since Wilson arrived. Both teams traded close wins on the road. Romo's scramble and ridiculous Catch by Williams allowed the Cowboys to come back and win. The pathetic OL of the first half of last year allowed the Cowboys to keep it close.

Panthers 2-4 against Wilson led Hawks teams. Granted they won the last 2, the first game last year was close and resulted in yet another blown 4th quarter lead. The playoff game was a fluke. Back to back east coast 10am playoff games, the first of which was played in negative temperatures. They will play again this season and we will find out how close these 2 teams are.

Packers 1-4 vs Wilson Hawks teams. They survived another Hawks 4th quarter collapse last year. This was a big revenge game for them as the NFCCG was still in their minds. Again they will play later this year and we will see how they compare.

Vikings 0-3 last few years. Yes they almost won a home playoff game in negative temperatures, but they were curb stomped a few weeks prior to that when Wilson had his way with them. Their defense is good, but we will see how their offense holds up this year.

Yeah but NINEster, don't let the facts get in your way.

You've now officially become the new lvnginhwktwn, just another pathetic 9er fan that contributes practically nothing more to these boards than being a Seahawks hater. You did get one thing right though, Santa Clara gets on their knees for Seattle every time they play each other.
