1.
Get Moore creative on offense
ACTION ITEM:
Kellen Moore
The Cowboys offense has gradually gotten worse over the last two seasons. Last year, they ranked 22nd in the league, averaging 21 points per game. With an improved defense, this team has it in them to be a force, but the offense has to be clicking for that to happen. Dallas flashed great offense at times; six times they scored 27 or more points and four of those instances came during the final six regular-season games. But then they would also throw out a goose egg late in the season against Indianapolis. The offense just wasn’t playing to their potential.
2.
Improve in the Red Zone
ACTION ITEM: Doug Nussmeier
The Cowboys had all kinds of problems scoring touchdowns in the red zone last season. After 14 games, they were ranked 31st in the league, converting only 44% of their red zone opportunities into touchdowns. They did improve over their last four games that included their two playoff contests, but the ineptness in the red zone plagued them most of the season. Some of this is attributed to the fact that they have no push in the interior offensive line with
Travis Frederick out and rookie
Connor Williams starting at left guard.
3. Get Dak to throw downfield
ACTION ITEM: Jon Kitna
Dak Prescott will be the first to tell you that he just wasn’t comfortable at times last season. In fact,
he expressed those exact sentiments last week when he was on 105.3 The Fan.
“Guys were doing well. Honestly, I wasn’t comfortable. It wasn’t the same guys at the same positions, as much as it was anything. You look out there and it was a different X than it was a play ago, there was a different Z than there was a play ago. I think what that did is create a little bit of uncertainty for me.”
That’s understandable.
Cole Beasley was his most targeted wide receiver last season, but the next five highest targets weren’t even on the team in 2017. One of them didn’t even join the squad until the eighth game of the season last year. Once
Amari Cooper arrived, things improved significantly for
Prescott.
