Twitter: Dez Bryant blames the scheme for his declining production, not Dak Prescott

[FLCowboyFan]

What did he post? All I see is red Xs.

 

[Cowboys22]

He's right. The scheme sucks and it has to be frustrating but he has sucked as well. A new scheme with current route trees and no Dez would be the best of both worlds.

 

[Sasquatch]

Is it possible that both leave much to be desired?

 

[xwalker]

Plans to talk to Jerry.. what a joke.​

 

[Floatyworm]

And he would be right....

The scheme is awful. Why we don’t see Dez running slants, crossing routes, curls, and comeback routes is beyond me?

To me all we see is 9 routes and we have a QB that can’t throw that ball.

Formation wise, how many times have you seen our WRs in a bunch formation? Never...

It wasn’t until recently you started to see Dez line up inside. I find it hard to believe that he can’t play football anymore....

 

[Q_the_man]

If the scheme is busted, that sounds like a fairly technical, Xs and Os type discussion, so your first stop is... the owner?

LOL, we all know we have a busted system all around. I mean what has Jason Garrett ever done for us.

 

[Q_the_man]

Is the Cowboys scheme the reason for Dez and his drop and poor route running issues?

Really Dez?

On behalf of Dez, no one in this offense has 1000 yards and that's a shame, Zeke is the closest and he missed 6 games

Its awful because DCs know the personnel and had time to create schemes that neutralize it's (the offense) effectiveness. Granted, players need to execute but the expectation (of being perfect every play) is unrealistic if the coaches don't put them (players) in the most advantageous positions to maximize their talent.

To that end, there was a stat last year that Dez and Twill ran the most go routes for clear out purposes than any wrs in the league. They were clearing out for Beasley and Witten.

So the scheme is what causes balls to bounce off his hands or fumble. He may be onto something.....

 

[MileyDancer]

I've suggested that Jerry could hire Larry Allen to punch him in the face several times per game...

What's funny is they hired David Wells to be his babysitter, who is a gigantic piece of ****. I can almost guarantee you he was ripping Dez off.

 

[Corso]

Good Luck Dez. Run some precise routes, that you know are the ones you're supposed to run, while you're at it.
That's generally a good thing...

 

[NeonNinja]

He’s right that the scheme is trash. However, that’s no excuse for his drops, etc.

Maybe this can lead to a new scheme.

 

[texbumthelife]

More proof Garrett has lost the team. But stick with him Skeletor! It's working out perfectly!

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

All I know is when Romo was throwing him the ball he was a beast. I know it isn't that simple, but the scheme has to change. Dak has to be better and Dez has to adjust to Dak throwing instead of Romo.

 

[KJJ]

Would like to ask Dez if the scheme is causing his drops and fumbles.

 

[Asklesko]

Dez would a HOF on any other team. This team has wasted his career.

 

[Blackspider214]

Put him in New Orleans or Atlanta and he puts up Julio numbers.

This narrative is so false. He is not fast. He gets zero separation. Poor route running. Body is breaking down because of injuries. Below average hands. But he would automatically become Julio Jones. Riiiight.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Jerry demoted Garrett from calling his plays using his scheme. Linehan uses Garrett's playbook to call the plays.

What hasn't changed? The scheme.

Dez is right.
