Still only 18th in scoring post Cooper trade and everyone's in love with this offense.

yeah, red zone offense is next on the list to improve. Cooper helps us move the ball but its not translating into points unless it's a long TD pass.

 

[Risen Star]

Totally agree. Red zone offense is bad for many reasons.

Lets list the reasons.

1. Dak Prescott

What else you got?

 

[Cowboyz88]

There's a much bigger problem with this offense than that. Much bigger.

Oh, I know…your man crush isn’t pulling the trigger.

Play calling. We ran 6 plays in the red zone during regulation. 5 of them were passes, 1 was a Elliott rush. We use him to get down there then get pass happy at the goal line (seemingly every time) and even that 1 rush was a draw out of the shotgun (if my memory serves me).

The running out of the shotgun in short yardage situations needs to end already.

Put Zeke deep behind the QB and let him have a head of steam when he gets the ball.

He can force the ball into the end zone.

Back issues this early in his career? Not good.

What's our TOP since the Cooper trade. That's where the big difference is. He converts 3rd downs so we can hand to Zeke. The other team's not scoring when we have the ball. We just run them into submission....

Do you have a solution? Top tier QBs don’t exactly grow on trees

Imagine being a Cowboys fan lying awake at night dreaming of Carson Wentz as the starting QB.
ROFL.

Not bad for a player that has been dealing with a bum knee most of the year.

The Rooney Rule, which requires NFL teams to interview at least one minority before hiring a new head coach or general manager, has been weakened in recent years by teams following the letter of the rule but ignoring its spirit. Those teams included the Browns in their hiring of G.M. John Dorsey, and the Raiders in their hiring of coach Jon Gruden.

Now the NFL is taking some steps that it hopes will strengthen the Rooney Rule.

At today’s league meeting, the NFL confirmed that the Rooney Rule has been updated to require teams to go outside their own organizations to interview a minority candidate, or to interview a candidate who is on the league’s career development advisory panel list.

That doesn’t solve the fundamental problem that Gruden’s hiring illustrated: Sometimes an owner makes up his mind about who to hire as his next coach or G.M., and his mind isn’t going to change. In those cases, an owner is still going to interview a minority candidate he’s not planning to hire. And if minority candidates take offense at that, or decline such interviews, it’s hard to blame them.
