I couldn't find the video for this but Here is the audio.

Go to about the 14:45 mark and listen to what Ray Lewis had to say about the Cowboys offensive scheme.

 
As of last week, he's right. Dak is struggling due to not having 2nd and 5 instead of 2nd and 9 every drive. He's being pressured on 3rd down more and not making the throws into coverage. The OL has drastically underperformed so far with the exception of the Giant game.
Letting Leary go instead of anyone was a mistake because he opened holes for the backs. We definitely regressed on the OL and
there is no cohesion right now. Teams follow the "beat Cowboys" recipe and they have a good chance to do it right now.
 
It's worth listening to his thoughts, and it's thoughts he and others have echoed before.

His criticism is that the coaches aren't creating mismatches. Defenders don't have to think much when going against our offense because it's just the basics, so a defender can react quicker because they aren't confused by what we do.

He's not wrong.

I am trying to keep this about Xs and Os. I am not interested in what you think of him as a person...but he is one of the BEST to have ever done it. And he has played against Garrett. He has said this before...and nothing has changed. Look what is going on with the Rams...with a young, energetic, creative offensive mind. It is beyond maddening that we have sat back and allowed this to continue for as long as it has.
 
That's not really what the offense is designed to do. This has been said for years, but the offense is more competitive than most on a per-play basis.

I don't love our scheme, either, but the breakdowns, to the extent we have them, have been execution breakdowns. And the offense is still putting up points.

Meanwhile, our LBs can't cover and our Ss are liabilities in space and our tackling has been subpar so far this season. And we can't take the ball away from anybody. Let's focus on the real reasons we're getting beat.

This offense will not win 3 game in the postseason. You would need a really strong defense to get 3 wins in the postseason with this offense. It is slow, plodding and predictable.

There are definitely issues on offense. But it's basiacally the same system few teams could stop last season. The issue isn't with its design. It's with execution right now.

He is right our offense is pure Vanilla. When you stop the run this offense can't do anything because of the pop warner plays. Would love to see this team with a creative offensive co-ordinator.

Pop Warner is a good way to describe our offensive scheme. It's heartbreaking to watch other games around the league and see the creativity used to cover for teams' weaknesses.

There is not and never has been an ounce of creativity in a JG scheme in his decade here.
