start The Cowboys are implementing “some changes” on offense after they have fallen into offensive purgatory early in the season. Scott Linehan and Dak Prescott at least know that what they have been trying isn’t working. So http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/antwaun-woods-jersey-cheap , the offensive coordinator has decided to look at his roster that seemingly has 1,000 receivers and tighten up the rotation. For the first three games, six of the seven receivers on the roster have worked their way in and out of the lineup. Now, they have had some bright moments, like this one to Tavon Austin in week two’s win over the Giants (remember how fun that was?!).Then there was this one to the same guy even though it was during the middle of a terrrible game.These ‘moments’ have been really rare to find in an offense that has rarely found success lately. Scott Linehan is well aware of the angry mob steadily approaching “The Star” since this ‘slump’ started 11 games ago. He’s also well aware that in his 16-year NFL career calling offenses, he’s had a Top-10 offense in one area or another in 12 of them. Now, he faces a tough task of getting back to what worked for his personnel. That’s why tightening up the receiving rotation is a great place to start with the Detroit Lions’ number-one ranked pass defense coming to town.A few days ago, we noted the passing offense being in such rough shape because there just hasn’t been much of a plan at receiver. The Cowboys have done more to take away from their passing game than help it. There has been no rhythm because there is literally no rhythm in how or when they deploy their receivers. Right now, Ezekiel Elliott and Geoff Swaim are technically the two pass catchers in snap percentage, over 90% for both. In targets, it’s Elliott (1st) and Swaim (4th). In receptions, Elliott (2nd) and Swaim (4th) again though both guys are the two lowest in yards per catch. Here is what the snap counts and production look like from just the receivers on this team:PlayerSnap Pct. (Rank)Targets (Rank)Rec (Rank)Rec. Yards (Rank)TDOne thing that stands out is hopefully what Linehan is talking about, and that’s getting a consistent rotation going. What happened to trading for Tavon Austin and “having a plan” for him? Austin has been one of the only bright spots in their struggles to find a passing rhythm. Terrance Williams has primarily been getting snaps as a run blocker with zero targets in the passing game in week three. Now, they are preparing to possibly lose Williams for a stretch so they added Brice Butler to the mix. The coaches have to decide which guys are going to be most productive and use them against the Lions. Do you remember that NFL clich茅 about quarterbacks: If you have two of them Cheap Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , you don’t have a quarterback? Well, how about if you have seven receivers, you probably don’t have a chance for a clean passing game?When you’re facing off against guys like Quandre Diggs, Darius Slay, and Glover Quinn, a plan is going to be needed. You can’t make it as easy for the defense. When you don’t have the respect of the defense for your receivers, you must find ways to earn it. You probably want to start with the most important question:What mismatches do the Cowboys have that they can use?A.) Short-area quickness/Speed- Tavon Austin, Deonte Thompson, and Cole BeasleyB.) Size & Athleticism - Rico Gathers, Michael Gallup, Allen HurnsC.) YAC potential - All of the above if used correctlyIt’s about finding a rhythm between your quarterback and his receivers that can be efficient. It’s unlikely that the Cowboys are going walk into this matchup and dominate this Lions defense at what they do best, cover the pass. At the same time, you have to find ways for a more efficient passing game. Linehan and Dak have said that they have added more wrinkles to the offense but what could that mean?Well, hopefully it means much less Air-Coryell and vertical routes that don’t really fit the personnel. In order to create some success in the passing game Youth Maliek Collins Jersey , they will need to think more along the lines of the West Coast or Spread concepts. Try more underneath routes or rub routes. Heck, why not some pick plays? You run the risk of getting caught but check outhow these pick plays have worked for the Saints and Patriots. Why use Rico Gathers as a blocker when you can run him on a crossing pattern? Most of all, get Dak Prescott comfortable using play-action. This should be a great game for the Cowboys to establish the run, against a Lions defense that surrenders 149 rushing yards per game, which is 32nd in the league. If Scott Linehan is looking to tighten up his receiving corps, then that’s good news for the offense. Pick a few that the quarterback can start building chemistry with instead of having six guys with no chemistry. With as bad as this Lions run defense seems to be, the Cowboys don’t have to pass their way to victory. It’s just important for them to find something that resembles an efficient NFL passing offense, do that and they just might find themselves in the win column.Jason Garrett press conference: Cowboys need to “keep banging away” in hopes of an interception It’s Tuesday of a game week, that means head coach Jason Garrett addressed the media. Here’s what he had to say. (All Garrett answers are paraphrases of what he said and not direct quotes).Things are still up in the air with Terrance WilliamsThere’s been a cloud of doubt circling Terrance Williams for a few weeks now, what with a report that a suspension could be near. Williams was inactive for the first time ever this past Sunday, but we still don’t know much about his situation... or if there even is one.Jason Garrett said on Wednesday that Terrance was with the Cowboys on Tuesday and Wednesday, that he’s working through some issues off the field, and the team doesn’t know if he’ll practice on Wednesday.The Cowboys are going to see what’s up with Ezekiel ElliottZeke almost singlehandedly carried the team to victory on Sunday, and he was a little bit banged up in that effort. Garrett noted that the team would be monitoring him this week.David Irving is officially backJason Garrett noted that David Irving will be in full pads http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/deonte-thompson-jersey-cheap , but he also cautioned that the Cowboys have to be careful with a player that hasn’t played football in so long. Remember that Irving was not with the team at training camp so it’s been a long time since he was around this type of practice.Managing things at defensive tackle is just that, managingThe Cowboys have sustained injuries to Maliek Collins (who the Cowboys anticipate doing more) and Antwaun Woods so David Irving’s return comes at a great time. Jason Garrett did continue to note though that they were going to have to manage the position as a whole and that that’s just the way it is (shout out to Celine Dion).Cowboys need to “keep banging away” in hopes of an interceptionDallas is the only team in the NFL yet to record an interception on defense. They’re also last in the league in turnovers. That’s not great, Bob.Garrett discussed how turnovers and interceptions are a team thing, noting that they are a combination of rush in coverage. He talked about how sacks have a big impact, but consistent pressure to make the quarterback feel uncomfortable is where picks come from. He simply said the Cowboys have to keep emphasizing this when hoping for their first pick.Rico Gathers has been making “aggressive mistakes”This may sound like a bad thing, but Jason Garrett has always said that this is a compliment. He talks about how young players tend to slow down, but that’s not the case with Rico. Good to see for the young tight end.Deshaun Watson is a great football playerWhen asked about various players on the Houston Texans, Jason Garrett kept it Jason Garrett. He noted that Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, J.J. Watt, and Jadeveon Clowney are all great football players.Let’s hope not so great on Sunday night.The biggest thing for DeMarcus Lawrence has been staying healthyOne of the best parts about this young season has been seeing DeMarcus Lawrence build off of his impressive 2017 performance. When asked what the secret is, Jason Garrett talked about how they always knew there was something there even if the sample size was small. He continues to praise Tank’s preparation.Who will and won’t practice?Travis Frederick and Sean Lee won’t practice (obviously)Jeff Heath will be limitedThings are going to be taken slowly with David Irving Dallas is anticipating Maliek Collins to practice at least in a limited fashionZeke will at least be limited and might be moreDeMarcus Lawrence will be limited at the outset
