He can get through the holes faster, and be gone after he does. The ONLY knock or question on him has been, can he take the pounding. I want to find that out.
Dorsett - same questions existed about him until we found out he was so nifty, seldom could anyone ever get a solid hit on him. I believe that is Dunbar too.
How do we know this shit if we don't try it and find out?
True. I'm not saying let's not try something new and see if it works. I have been watching the Dunbar plays this year and the reps that he has been given have not played to his strength. (Going 5 wide with Dunbar as the target is a great concept but the reality is the Garrett 5 wide with slow receivers doesn't give Dunbar the time he needs to be effective). So, my complaint is the Garrett Syndrome of doing the same plays over and over expecting different results without any intelligent adjustment. Dunbar worked great in space last year but this year having him run between tackles has not been effective or explosive or Dunbar-esque.
For 4 years the guy at The DC Times (Bales) has been tracking the Cowboys success with play action and this year in particular has been almost flawless. Yet, those brainless 5 wide formations that I have seen Jason boast "puts pressure on the defense to try to cover" still
get called at the worst times. In the 4 games this year I would love to see the statistics of what happens when Dallas goes 5 wide as opposed to play action. I have seen only sacks, pressure on Romo and incompletions, but inhale not seen every snap.
So why do they keep trying something that doesn't work? That is what I am saying about Dunbar. He has a history of success in space and he has not been successful with Murray type plays.
