line up? My guess assuming health and all the players are already on the team:
OL: Flowers, Pugh, Richburg, Jerry, Hart
QB Eli
RB Jennings
FB/HB Johnson
WRs OBJ, Cruz, Shepard
I think Hart will beat out Newhouse when bullets start flying.
No way the team doesn't start with 3 WRs on the field, including Shepard.
Johnson and Jennings both start in the backfield for extra blocking initially and one or both release into pass routes or as dump off options in case Dallas keeps 7 back to defend the 3 WRs.
I think MacAdoo will be trying to dictate to the defense, more than to react to it. He will force the Cowboys to go to a nickle personnel package very early, testing their CBs and creating opportunities to run the ball with their LBs concerned about their pass drops and coverage responsibilities.
Pulling this out of my A** naturally.
Well you answered your question for me, although "crash and burn" for Newhouse is too strong a phrase, given what he showed throughout '15. I simply think Hart will progress and earn the job.
Of course we haven't seen it yet "in pajamas."
Oye vey - ( New Window )
will add a vet before long .
Holding my breath on Cruz .
lmao. Tipped at the LOS and picked off for a TD
Its either a quick dump off to OBJ to get Eli in the groove, or deep to Shepard; esp. if the pre-season they can get in a successful pass-mode.
I don't like the idea of airing it out on the first play. I would rather get the ball in the hands of ODB or SS and let them make something happen. I much prefer setting up a long drive rather than a quick hitter. Just beat them up consistently.
Bt what a way to start the season, by beating Dallas and Romo at home....
I think its more likely that Hart gets an opportunity when someone on OL is injured.
I'm sorry grandma dropped you on your head. But can you kindly limit your shart stains to other people's threads?
@Dallas (week 1) E.Manning pass short left to D.Fells pushed ob at NYG 33 for 13 yards.
I bet a run gets called, but 50/50 Eli audibles into a pass.
Surprised people's heads didn't roll after that play.
