Yesterday, cowboys seemed to just rush 3 or 4 on predictable passing plays and for the most part created pressure.

First sack early, Trai just let him go right up the middle untouched.
Second sack, 3 man rush and Cosmi pushes his guy up field but Carson backpedals past where the pocket should be.

If teams can create pressure only bringing 4 ... we are cooked. You cant really quick throw against that as guys are dropping back into zones/bracketing outside/so many moving parts on D .. and you dont have time for a receiver to shake coverage and do the scramble/broken play drill.

You cant do anything about it as a coach. Yes you can chip or double w a TE on the outside .. but you need your O lineman to be able to go hat on hat and hold for at least a few seconds.

Guys going untouched up the middle ... maybe keep your RB but still, coaches cant do much

Yeah the four man rush on known pass plays is a huge issue. I think we have to really stick to run and have the defense really question whether it is a run or passing down and for f sake stop doing play actions pass once the D has queued into that. You aren't fooling anyone

Running into a stacked D line on those 2nd and longs was frustrating but I somewhat get the conservative approach ... radio heads are asking if Carson is allowed to yell "can" and check out of run and go to pass against a stacked box. No one knew the answer.

Then discussion was whether its center or QB who would call slide protections after Qb ids mike ... and how we had Nick Martin in there ....

pass pro is a big problem with what we are trying to do.

4 games in .. we had to drastically change our offensive approach

not good
