what does Kellen Moore’s offense look like?
kinda like the "the greatest show on turf" with more power running - this IMO is where JG wanted to go along - a "play fast" version of a play action deep timing system
first off, they probably will not look to milk the clock with small lead
the big difference between what they did the first 2 and a 1/2 years of Dak's career is the last half of 2018 was running 70 plays a game rather 60 makes a huge difference all by itself
expect Zeke to be Zeke, and expect Pollard to be used a lot like Marshall Faulk when on the field
IMO, all the things they wanted to with Austin and Dunbar they can do with Pollard
with simple man blocking it won't be hard to get both over 5.0 YPA
expect more common sense passing, running slants and TE dumps are critical in this system,
gets LBs and Ss guessing rather than focusing on Zeke, stops run blitzing
I'd note all of the targets on this team have really good hands
after Dez and Twill ... we all feel that way about it, the FO is weird not stupid
expect Dak on the move, he's decent in the pocket, but can go deep on the move as well as any,
and that may be the most valuable skill in football
one other thing about Dak, he's rather smart
last year we saw a big change "no #1 WR", or rather, no one played X (usually read 1) every down
they started using a more QB directed motion to work match ups and pick your X
notice that depends on really bright QB, it ain't like X = Dez, Y = TWill, Z = Beasley every down
3 or 4 guys will play X every game, Y every game, and Z every game (sometimes even on the same drive)
* aside from a bright QB it take versatile WRs *
one of the key O features of JG has always been double moves deep
Scott asked both Tony and Dak to extend plays from the pocket way too much
it near crippled Tony, and keep in mind Dak took far more hits the last year than Tony ever did
I have no idea if this OL will hold up - is Fred back? do we have a LG? what are the odds we get better RT play?
I'd point out the classic passing solution with a mobile QB and an iffy OL is to shorten the read structure
instead of read 1 - 2 - 3 - dumb / scramble ... go to read 1 - 2 - scramble and look deep
DUH
Scott was a stubborn idiot
back to the diff between 60 plays and 70 - what if 5 of those extra 10 plays are read 1 - 2 - scramble and look deep
and the other 5 are R/P options ... the sky's the limit
that's a real simple path to another 7+ points a game
