Cowboys running "Razorback" offense

The Cowboys have unveiled their version of the Wildcat formation at OTA’s this week. It features and unbalanced line with Patrick Crayton reverting to his option QB days at Northwestern Oklahoma State. But the formation is really designed to get the ball to RB Felix Jones, and the Cowboys call it the “Razorback,” which is a reference to Jones’ college days at Arkansas where he helped make the formation famous.

“Man, it was great,” Jones said. “It brought back old memories. It’s just the first day. I believe we can get a lot better at it. You’ll see a lot more of it, I’m hoping, when the time comes.”

Head coach Wade Philips also talked about the new formation.

“We want to look at that and be prepared for it defensively and offensively and maybe have some options in that area,” Phillips said. “We will see if it goes any further than that. It depends on what we can do. If we feel like we can utilize and do some things from it and still help our offense or at least look at it defensively and come up with some schemes to stop it, this is the time to work at it.”

Many people are focusing on the fact that the Cowboys lost Terrell Owens and that will be a huge loss for them this season. And on the field, it is. But people are forgetting that Felix Jones is coming back and he’s a hell of a weapon. He helps to give them one of the best backfields in all of football. The Cowboys still have a lot of talent and will be a nice team this year.

Romo, Witten, Jones, Marion Barber and Roy Williams? That’s still some ammunition.
