00:00We'll talk more about it now with John Oning, editor of Pro Football Focus, and a good afternoon
00:20sir.
00:21How the heck are you?
00:22Doing great.
00:23Cannot complain.
00:24How about you fellas?
00:25About the same.
00:26You know, hoping for the best.
00:28Shoddy today in his own words saying he likes shifts, he likes cut splits, and he likes
00:34motions.
00:35Do these words, should they excite Cowboys fans, John?
00:38Oh yeah, I definitely think so, especially in the Mike McCarthy era.
00:42The Cowboys were below average I think almost every year in the rate of motions, motion
00:48at the snap, shifts.
00:49I mean a lot of the motions that the Cowboys used were a lot of just window dressing, the
00:53guys jogging across the formation, getting set before the snap, they're not really stressing
00:59opposing defenses.
01:00And I think Shoddy kind of talked about the ability to stress defenses using those shifts,
01:05those motions, using tempo, all these different type of things that can kind of just make
01:10life more difficult for the defense, you know, make things more difficult on the second level
01:14defenders, make them have to adjust post-snap.
01:17Those type of things I think are some of the core tenets of some of the best offenses in
01:21the NFL.
01:22And I think that's something we're going to see, especially in the Super Bowl with teams
01:25like the Chiefs and the Eagles who really use those concepts a lot.
