@JoeRomano51 @Afrotooey Thank you! Gotta get myself some compression socks lol

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

Wide toe boxes should be the norm for shoes. Insane to me that we force our feet into narrow toe boxes for no reason

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

@Afrotooey @JoeRomano51 tell me more about the benefits of compression socks, I'm not familiar

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

@InsideTh3Lines I've heard the opposite tbh. I heard Simmons is the one whose been worse vs the run, especially setting the edge.

[Cody Alexander @The_Coach_A]

Cowboys getting in on the "all-up" presentations.

Dallas triggers the RB inside with a double-mug alignment.

Once everyone drops out, the rush is only four, but because of the presentation, the Colts have no one for Downs.

The final scheme ends up being a Quarters simulated pressure.

Sumo is COOL. Tell your friends

[Lexi - Puppy Girl Scientist - Catnip for British @LexiMilfArc]

I'm a massive fan of an underdog story in sports.
Yesterday, the smallest active sumo wrestler made his debut at 125 lbs at just 15 years old. Here is he taking on the 330lb 21 year old Toramusashi.

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

@Badgerboy71 It's because he's not good in the zone match stuff. Busts a lot in those coverages, which still are the majority of the calls. I just think Parker doesnt trust him

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

JPJ: Pretty good!

CB separation prevented and on ball grades

@LelouchVeeGeass Smart! Totally agree

Cowboys rookie Jaishawn Barham was working with the outside linebackers during the media’s viewing portion of practice today. Barham has been at inside linebacker, and only played three defensive snaps against the Colts last week.

I always envisioned Caleb Downs in a role similar to Brian Branch in Detroit.

Base = Safety
Nickel = Slot

Downs showed his range as a Hash Safety against the Colts.

Dallas is running Base against Indy's 12-personnel and calls "Sam 8," putting the C2 side to the field.

Indianapolis runs a play-action "Cross-Country" concept with the over concept to Downs' side.

Once Downs realizes that Jones is going for the Post, he beelines to the route and breaks it up.

@acosta32_jp Hell yeah dude! Looks great!

[John Owning @JohnOwning]

This is so great! Follow Cody and get smarter!

[Cody Alexander @The_Coach_A]

A great example of how the Ni needs to run vertical routes in Cover 8.

The Colts are in a 3x1 formation, meaning the Ni doesn't have to match #2 back because he has a Poach Safety.

Once #3 (TE) eliminates, you can see the Weak Safety give a "shove" call, indicating he is moving to the Post.

Caleb Downs continues to pedal with the vertical, but has his eyes outside, allowing him to undercut the Dig.

The Mike is now a "vision" defender and works on his level through the route combination.

Nice job by Downs packing inside and understanding that if you have two verticals running tight together, one is breaking in...

Jones never sees Downs and throws the pick.
