Will Philly’s passing game be a challenge for the Cowboys?

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

Dallas Cowboys Color Analysis Babe Laufenberg joins RJ and Bobby to preview the Cowboys vs Eagles game this Sunday. He discusses that Philly’s passing game is not as strong as their run game due to Jalen Hurts scrambling in the pocket before throwing the ball. How can the Cowboys’ defense take advantage of this weakness to give them a chance at defeating their division rivals?

00:00All right, so you mentioned the Philly running game with Hertz as a running quarterback,

00:20but how has their passing game been this year?

00:24Very average, as you guys probably have seen.

00:27And I don't know, I mean, the whole thing with Hertz is make them be a pocket passer.

00:35And it's just been disjointed.

00:38It's very strange.

00:39And I've watched some games, I've watched some tape, there are people open, and you

00:44just say, throw it, you know, throw it, you know, and then all of a sudden he starts moving

00:51out of the pocket.

00:52And on TV, it doesn't do it justice, obviously, and for good reason, but they're kind of following

00:57the ball.

00:58You're getting a tight shot.

00:59You're not seeing people downfield until they come back and show a replay and show you what

01:03happened.

01:04But there are people open, and I know Drew Bledsoe, we talked one time and he said, when

01:12he was in New England, parcels would just stand behind him during practice and say,

01:17throw it, throw it, throw it.

01:19Like the minute he took the snap.

01:21And he said, I got so tired of that, and he said, the games were so easy because I couldn't

01:25hear him.

01:26I'm on the field, I'm playing.

01:28And when I'm watching Jalen sometimes, I just want to say, throw it, throw it.

01:34But obviously they're running the ball pretty darn well.
