Will KM stick to this gameplan when Dak comes back?

Ball control and setting up the pass through the run game? Dak is good, but he shouldn't be throwing the ball 40 times a game....50/50 pass and run along with a stout defense has won many games in this league. Protect your defense and keep them fresh....
I know Dak calls many pass plays from the line, he needs to be held back a bit from doing this. Hopefully, he's learning something from the sideline and hopefully KM and MM have the sack to hold him accountable.

I think ultimately for this team to hit its potential they can’t play conservative. They are gonna have to sit it out but have to do it smart. Definetly need to call some plays that takes advantage of Dak’s legs and allows him to throw on the run.

Rush is getting the ball out fast and either Dak needs to do the same or they need to adjust to his actual skill set.

When he comes back I hope he's on point, if he struggles it's going to be brutal. The fans and the media will be all over him. Numerous articles "why did the Cowboys make that move, was he ready" fans chanting "we want Rush" that's a lot to deal with, and the bright lights of Dallas makes it even worse.

Ok sounds good. Now tell me exactly what skill set they are working with.... And go...

Why do you think the game plan is different?

He wants Dak to have a gazzilion stats...and can win the game by himself....but Cooper needs coddled with a run game and a defense. And we are winning.


Sorry dude...I'm dense. I don't understand this theory. If you are right....Dak and Kellen Moore and maybe Mike need fired...NOW.

There are other people that would have known this way before now.

This is the formula, and it hasn't changed. This approach even fit s the personnel (OL better at run blocking, good RBs, WR n TEs can block). A run heavy scheme supports/compliments a good defense. Cowboys have been running over every opponent, and ppl want them to start passing for what? Dak's stats? You play the game to win.

I’ve been seeing a lot posters here say the offense has been dumbed down and simplified for Rush. Now I see that KM needs to have the same offensive plan for Dak.

So are some of you finally admitting that Dak isn’t all that great?

It's more like Kellens high flying, easy tricked into pass heavy game plans aren't all that great. Keep it simple. It's a problem that predates Kellen tho.

I’m afraid everything will be second guessed even more now.

Dak forces to many plays, whether that's his doing or KMs doing is not clear. Dumbed down is not the way I would describe it. Aikman ram this type of offense, I don't think it was dumber down for him.

We’re have to open up the passing game a little if we’re going to score more points and be able to pull away. The last two games have come down to the last possession of the game. Hard to keep winning games scoring under 24 points every week.
