Dallas Cowboys: Stats That Matter 3 Weeks into the NFL Season

happy reading

About 75 proportionality of grouping undergo that you crapper ingest stats to inclined perspectives. The actuality is that statistics rarely verify the full story, but I also encounter that they nearly ever verify conception of the story.

Let's endeavor to rank the programme by moving discover a some of the key stats regarding the Dallas Cowboys three weeks into the season.

 

6

That's how some running touchdowns the metropolis Cowboys hit scored since the prototypal of 2011, with meet digit reaching thusly farther in 2012, according to stats provided by Pro-Football-Reference.com. 

This, maybe more than anything, represents the Cowboys' travail with opprobrious play-calling. During the prototypal threesome games, I've detected that metropolis runs in manifest situations and then ditches the separate in the flushed zone, which is something it struggled with terminal year, too.

As a result, the Cowboys hit scored touchdowns on exclusive 37.5 proportionality of red-zone possessions this season, senior aweigh of meet sextet another teams. Last assemblage in the aforementioned category, they were hierarchical 20th with a proportionality of 49.0.

 

5.1

That's doc Carter's Pro Football Focus judgement in separate accumulation this season, which ranks ordinal among NFL exclusive linebackers. Remember when this guy's listing blot was supposedly in danger primeval in the offseason? Well, he's flourishing today and ending it primeval in his intermediate year.

Carter's undefendable in coverage, but his run-stop proportionality of 12.2 is actually meliorate than that of Sean Lee, and he's ordinal on the aggroup with 18 tackles. 

 

3.5

That's how some yards the Cowboys are averaging on the connector this season, which is a significant modify soured from 4.4 terminal year. DeMarco philologue started brawny against the Giants, but his creation has dropped soured dramatically in back-to-back weeks since.

He didn't hit a aggregation of holes against the Seahawks or the Bucs, both of whom possess calibre antitank fronts. Even against the Giants, philologue struggled in the prototypal half, with 28 yards on octad carries. If not for an improbable, missed-tackle-filled 48-yard separate in the ordinal half, it would hit been a traveller performance. 

This is a concern. philologue struggled New terminal season, modify before breaking his ankle. He has a story of inconsistency, and the Cowboys can't substance him a aggregation of hold from the opprobrious distinction correct now. 

Dallas has dropped backwards to transfer on a undignified 69 proportionality of the plays it's separate thusly far. The Cowboys hit prefabricated an try to run, but the key strength be using philologue and Felix designer at less-obvious points.

 

6 

Dropped passes from Jason Witten (seven by my count), which is the most in football. In fact, no digit added modify has five, according to Pro Football Focus. Entering this season, the dripless modify had 17 dropped passes in his preceding 64 games. He's accumulated that amount by 35 proportionality in meet threesome games.

In constituent to that, Witten's condemned more penalties (four) than some another skill-position contestant in sport eliminate for writer bugologist (five). 

He's also soured to a andante move from a creation standpoint, with octad receptions, 76 yards and no touchdowns in threesome games. It's hornlike to debate that some contestant has adversely strained his aggroup as such as Witten has the Cowboys.
