Part of what killed me about the play calling in the Cowboys loss to Minnesota was the way the passing attack was handled. I don't recall any play action out of the power I. This formation was the set that was producing success in the running game. And it was the inside running game that had been having the most success, with the exception of a couple of misdirection pitch outs. Play action passing works the best when it is done from the formation that has the inside game working because it works to stop penetration by defensive ends.
Minnesota was the wrong team for 1st and 2nd down shotgun formations. The draw/delay game never got going and the passing game became telegraphed.
Why does this team use so little under center single back. This team over relies on 2 formations and a few exotic sets that apparently have too few plays to be effective.
If the Cowboys plan on keeping Garrett he needs to be less predictable. He keeps letting himself get painted into a box.
