Jimmy Johnson doesn't see how the Cowboys' hiring of the pass-happy Scott Linehan helps run game

Not only that, we're building a OL made to maul people, our QB's on his last leg, so of course we should pass 80%o_O
 
Yeah that Jimmy really knows nothing and is just talking out his rear. ..... Eye roll



In the 11 previous years Linehan has had just 2 Top 10 rushing attacks...Minnesota in 2002 and 2003. With the Lions...24, 23, 29, 23 and 17.

Scott Linehan Lions Os finished 6th, 3rd, 1st, 1st & 5th in NFL in pass attempts last 5 years.#Cowboys will be slinging it around the yard .

More on the alleged running. From Sturm
@sportssturmLinehan is on the short list of guys who enjoy running the ball and physical smash less than Garrett. So, you know, finesse this thing!!

Listen..

until DeMarco Murray finally finished as season healthy..

his first in like 4 years..

nobody in Dallas trusted this OL to block.

So the only thing to do was ride Romo's arm..Witten's and Dez' legs..

..and hope things worked out.

Now..Murray has made the Pro Bowl and he's established he can do it.

Of course..it helps the team has committed it's last two #1draft picks at tackle and center to open holes to run thru.

So before we all get convinced the play callers won't run it..

Let's see.

Right, they weren't convinced when he was gashing GB for 7 yds a carry either. It's not a big deal, just cost us a trip to playoffs, no biggie.

So, let's see. We have people slamming Jimmy Johnson, hashtagging themselves as members of "TeamJerry" all in some desperate and downright pathetic attempt to make themselves feel better about the current regime. Absolutely incredible and to be honest, frightening.
 
Come aboard the SCOTT LINEHAN ship its been a super productive sailing career

I don't think Linehan's hire was ever about the run game. That's linear thinking. Hire a new OC who will emphasize the run? Why would Garrett do that? It's never been part of his offensive philosophy and while folks can gripe about it, it's not gonna change in 2014 either. That's not the team's identity.

Hiring Linehan was all about getting someone who shares his offensive philosophy and who could potentially make this offensive more dynamic than what it's been...and definitely more than what it was in 2013.

If we're trying to build an OL that mauls people, remind me again why we didn't have Larry Warford on our board last year?

Because he combines quickness and power. He's over 330lbs. I'm guessing that's why.
