Rob Ryan refers to Panther as running "some sort of junior high offense"

The Cowboys want turnovers so much, they’re going to stop calling them turnovers.

Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan joked Friday in his weekly media session that he now calls turnovers “takeovers.”

“Obviously, we’re not good at getting turnovers. We changed the name,” he said. “So I think we’re going to do much better. We’re getting takeovers, so we’re ready to go.”

The Cowboys have only four takeaways, an interception and three fumble recoveries, including a muffed punt.

“We’ve got a sound defense, we’ve got great players, we’re not turning people loose,” Ryan said. “The takeovers are coming, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Rob Ryan says don’t worry. He can handle the option.

Or whatever else the Carolina Panthers throw out this week to try to spring quarterback Cam Newton.

“People get turned loose all the time. You don’t see that happen with us, and you’re not going to see it happen with us,” the Cowboys defensive coordinator said Friday in his weekly media session. “So this guy runs some college offense or a high school offense or a junior high offense, we’re going to be sound, we’re going to get after their (stuff). It doesn’t matter what they run – dive option, zone read, whatever. We’re just going to get after their (stuff) and make them punt.”

Well, he's right.

Sounds about right. Going to be interesting to see how the Oline holds up without Kalil, and how Cam will run the pro style running we need so much without him. God help us.

I'd still rather Chud do it and help Cam grow and progress; he has the ability.

Maybe an extra dose of gadget plays to go with it as well......might see a flea flicking Statue of Liberty Mountaineer.

i bet that's what he spent the whole bye week trying to work out. that and watching a lot of kid's football movies for inspiration.

On NFLN they're talking about we're not the only team who's been running the "read option" as a base. Washington runs some of it, and Minnesota has run it. They even talked about how the "read option" has hurt Adrian Peterson's performance and limited him this season. It made me wonder why ANYONE would run it if it isnt getting great results this season.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
