David Moore: With focus on balance, Cowboys likely still emphasize two-tight end sets + Q&A
David Moore, Cowboys beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered readers' questions in a chat on Friday. Some excerpts:
On if Mike Martz is on the short list of replacements:
If you don't like the running game now, you really wouldn't like it with Martz as head coach.
On cutting some of the offensive and defensive plays:
I think there's something to be said for paring down the playbook when a team is struggling. Give players on both sides of the ball fewer packages to run in an attempt to improve execution. Then, once you regain your equilibrium, broaden the packages back to where they've always been.
The thing is, I'm not a coach. The Cowboys may simplify things a bit, but not much, and certainly not be 50 percent.
