You didn't give our RBs enough receptions. They had 80+ in 2010, 60 in 2009 and 70 in 2008 but you only give them 39.


And comparing Buehler to Vinatieri is beyond silly. The offense will continue to go for it instead of kicking the obvious field goal because Buehler is not a kicker. The "historically rookie kickers suck" comment is bunk as well as most of the time they are good from within 40 yards while Buehler has horrible from that distance.

Felix Jones with 8 receptions.

lol WTF lol

If any receiver on this team gets 100+ receptions, it would be Witten. Sorry, but I do not see Austin having 30 more receptions than Witten---I can see Witten having 30 more than Austin though. Witten has been this team's leader in receptions since 2007 and I do not see that changing. Yes, Austin and Dez will continue to emerge, but that will only benefit Witten, because those two guys will have more coverage rolled their way.


Romo's numbers look about doable. That certainly will be enough to win the division.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Yeah too many receptions to Austin.

Cut him by about 35 receptions, giving 25 of them to Felix and the other 10 to Witten.

Murray will be the specialist when it comes to pass catching and screens. Murray will get the primary 3rd down responsibility. In games where both tony romo and miles austin have both started Austin has caught 112 in those 18 games and witten has caught 103

just like when felix came to dallas. murray will take catches. barber went from 52 catches to 11.

Barber was never considered a good receiving back.

Felix is already considered a decent receiver. Even if he's out there just 1st & 2nd downs, he'll get more than a 1/2 catch a game.

it's more than half a catch. it had him missing 2 games.

I give CSB credit, though. He did some homework before writing this out.

Agreed.

That takes some effort and the eagerness to put one's neck out there in a forum environment.

Which one of these numbers is most dissimilar?

10%

20%

17%

23%


From my perspective its the 10% figure.

Now do you want to know what these numbers actually represent?

10% represents the percentage of receptions the backs are estimated to take in, as compared to the rest of the team, during the upcoming season per CSB.

20% represents the percentage of receptions the backs did receive during the 2010 season.

17% represents the percentage of receptions the backs received during the 2009 season.

23% represents the percentage of receptions the backs received during the 2008 season.

At this juncture there seems to be no paradigm shift within the Cowboy's braintrust that would indicate to me that the backs were going to have a much reduced role within the passing game during the upcoming season– especially taking into consideration the head coach is the person responsible for the ball distribution in three previous seasons.

As I posted before, I would redistribute the pass receptions to achieve more realistic numbers– with 20% going to the backs being a pretty solid number.

 

[Sheik]

Nice work, Mikey.

Maybe 10% seems bit low, but there hasnt been an explosive number two option like dez since terry glenn was around in 2006. in that season, the runningbacks had 10.3% of the receptions

RBs were getting receptions last year when Roy and Dez were putting up big numbers. 2006 is a poor reason to cut their numbers in half.

they were only putting up big numbers in the touchdown catagory. they each had only 1 100 yd game and they barely combined for 1000 yds

So why is that going to change this season? We didn't stop throwing to the RBs when Miles, Roy, Dez and Witten were available last year and there is no indication (rather than your observations of what happened under a different coaching staff in 2006) that we will stop throwing to the RBs this season.

That's the one right there that would strongly lead me to believe that the backs will get their customary 20% this year also.

Garrett, judging from past experience, believes in distributing passes all over the field. This goes back to the 91-95 Cowboy teams that did the same. Emmitt and Moose were always part of the passing offense, and I doubt Garrett changes his tune now.

By targeting the backs more, it helps alleviate some of the pressure on the running game, i.e. a quick pass to a back essentially serves as a running attempt. Plus it helps keep teams from keying on the wide receivers and tight-end. If a defense is sure a pass is going to one of three guys only, that creates an awfully big advantage for the defense.

Finally, we've heard repeatedly (and have seen) how good Felix Jones is in space. Well, there's no easier way of getting him in space than isolating him on a linebacker.

 

[sbk92]

I can see it.

It makes sense to think Felix Jones is going to go from 48 receptions in 2010 to 8 in 2011.
