Cowboys working to get Dez Bryant free of double coverage
By Josh Sanchez
The Dallas Cowboys offense and passing game is much more effective whenever they are able to get the ball in the hands of star wide receiver Dez Bryant. Unfortunately for the Cowboys and Bryant fantasy owners, teams have begun to focus more and more on Bryant, which has led to some down numbers as the double teams increased.
However, during last week’s bye, Bryant says that the team was working hard to figure out a way to get him off double coverages and ways that will get him more often.
“You will see what happens,” Bryant said, via ESPN Dallas. “I’ve been seeing (double coverage) for a (while) now; we’ve been working on it.”
This likely means that the team will be working more on getting Bryant in motion and allowing him to take advantage of match ups across the opposing secondaries.
Bryant has largely been a decoy the past few weeks as he averages just over three catches a game, so if he is able to get open on a regular basis and provide a target for Tony Romo, the Cowboys offense will once again excel.
