Decoding the Offense - Week 11 SF

I know this extremely late, and therefore borders on irrelevent, but here are the results of the 49ers game...

The new Jason Garrett toy here is the "S11" Bunch. I did not distinguish the bunch plays from the other S11 plays because I have not tracked them all season. However, the Cowboys really started pounding this package for the first time against the 49ers. What they like to do is put Owens and Crayton to the right, Witten and Williams to the left and they are all bunched inside the numbers. This makes the defense declare its intentions and also makes them matchup in man to man. Well, the Cowboys ran this formation 5 times:

All 5 plays were passes:
5 yards to Barber
Inc Pass to Williams
10 yard TD to Crayton
75 yard TD to Owens
52 yards to Owens

5 plays for 142 yards and 2 Touchdowns is a nice return.

69 Offensive plays – (29 runs/40 passes) Here is how we break it down:

1st Down plays (26 = 8 different packages – 14 runs/ 12 passes)

“11” – 2 (2 runs for 1 yard)
“12” – 7 (6 run for 16 yards/1 pass for 8 yards)
“21” – 5 (2 runs for 11 yards/ 3 passes for 9 yards)
“22” – 3 (3 runs for 14 yards)
“12H” – 2 (2 Passes for 14 yards, FD)
”13” – 1 (1 pass for 0 yards)
Knee - 1

Shotgun

“S11” – 5 (5 passes for 6 yards, SACK)


2nd Downs (25 plays – 7 looks – 12 runs/13 passes):

“11” – 2 (1 run for 5 yards, 1 pass for 0 yards - FUMBLE)
“12” – 5 (4 runs for 11 yards, FD, 1 pass for 0 yards)
“13” – 2 (1 run for -1 yards, 1 pass for 7 yards)
“21” – 6 (1 run for 0 yards, 5 passes for 61 yards, 3 FD )
“22” – 4 (4 runs for 12 yards, FD)
Knee - 1

Shotgun

“S11” – 5 (5 passes for 10 yards)

18 3rd downs for the Cowboys – 4 looks (2 runs/16 passes) (9 for 18, 50%)

“22” – 2 (1 run for 5 yards, 1 pass for 16 yards) 2-2
“23” – 1 (1 pass for 1 yards, TD to Bennett) 1-1
Knee – 1

Shotgun
“S11” – 14 (14 passes for 209 yards, 2 TD) 6 for 14 – Touchdowns to Owens and Crayton


Regardless of Down and Distance, here are the yardage results for each personnel package:

29 runs - 40 passes

UNDER CENTER (45 – 28 runs/17 passes)

“11” – 4 (3 run for 6 yards, 1 pass for 0 yards, FUMBLE)
“12” – 12 (10 runs for 27 yards/ 2 passes for 8 yards)
“21” – 11 (3 runs for 11 yards/ 8 passes for 70 yards, 3FD)
“22” – 9 (8 runs for 31 yards, 1 pass for 16 yards, 2FD)
“23” – 1 (1 pass for 1 yards, TD)
“13” – 3 (1 run for -1 yards, 2 passes for 7 yards)
“12H” – 2 (2 passes for 14 yards, FD)
Knee - 3

SHOTGUN (24 – 24 passes)

“S11” – 24 (24 passes for 225 yards, 2 TDs, 4 FD, SACK)
