Note to Garrett: Did you see NE's RB lined up as Wr

[ninja]

I often wished RBs Dunbar and Murray would have been used a little like that. I especially thought Dunbar was also a good receiver and would have liked to see some ingenuity from Garrett. I don't remember Garrett doing anything like that with the RBs.

We have an OC who doesn't do anything creative. But on the bright side, at least we no longer have a defensive coordinator (Wade) who counters a quick RB lined up as a WR with a slow LB.

Putting your players in a position to succeed.

That's because Bill Belichick has a great, innovative coach with a great coaching staff.

The way they always have a "next man up" is really a marvel. Woodhead is a JAG, but they made him into such an important piece of the puzzle. When he goes down? No biggie, plug in Shane Vereen or whoever else.Truly amazing.

Yeah, that really doesn't make sense to me as to why we don't do that.

There aren't many LBers that can stay with a Murray or Dunbar, say on a crossing route or even a quick out to them. The same goes with Hanna, the guy is an athletic freak and we never try to take advantage of those matchups.

You're right but there is a belief on here that an Oline is just going to fix everything and we can play this bland style of football at this level with success.

They're trying to get a certain matchup. Usually trying to get a LB on a HB.

Our offense is just take what the defense gives. We don't really look for matchups.

It comes down to the discipline and focus of an entire team, which falls on the head coach. That, I believe, is where the Cowboys have sorely lacked over the last several years.

[Chocolate Lab]

Did anyone else catch the pregame of the Atlanta game where one of the ATL offensive players was saying that this year we have schemes that give us an advantage versus years before when we simply tried to out-execute everyone?

Yeah.

When Murray was drafted the DC website was going on about how good he would be in the passing game and could play WR. I've never seen him motion out or line up not in the backfield.

[Illini88228]

That doesn't work as well in a timing offense because you have to have running backs who run phenomenal routes. It's not enough for them to run away from the defense. They have to run routes like a receiver so that they're in the right place at the right time.

Besides the protection needed all the help it could get this year.

[Risen Star]

There's just no excuse to fail to exploit defenses with Lance Dunbar.

[btcutter]

Let's face it. NE has Bellichek but also has Brady who is one of the most accurate passers ever. Some of the throws were absolutely perfect. You cannot throw a better pass to RB on that TD.

[mgcowboy]

I thought we did as well as NE with the "next man up" thing....

NE are doing it with the existing roster...we had to go extra step to picking up people from the street and STILL managed to get to the division title game...

Stop the self-beating mentality...we are not NE at the moment but we are getting there....

[JPM]

Probably need another blocker since the OL couldn't keep Romo upright for more than 2-3 seconds...

Garrett doesn't have a creative cell in his entire body. Remember when we played Denver in 2009? He called like 6 running plays in a row. Yeah, that'll throw them off, Garrett.
Then, when he caught flack for that, the next game he called 6 passing plays in a row. We were on the 1-freaking-yard line. 3 pass plays.

Garrett's been a terrible OC for YEARS.

He got owned that game and we still almost won the game.

I can't believe Romo can do was he does with a bad Oline and a bad Playcaller.


Heck, Rodgers was the most sacked QB in the league this year but his ability plus coaching overcame it pretty well.
