West coast offense=donk, dink and Dak on steroids.
Dak will be fine with it and Witten will play another 5 years.
Say it ain't so. Please. Say it ain't so. It. Can't. Happen.

Sort of.
I don't think Dak Prescott would succeed in Bill Walsh's offense, he has real accuracy issues so this training camp will be interesting to watch.
You have to throw crossing routes. That is on of the best ways to beat man to man. All teams has crossing routes in their offenses.As long as they don’t run a lot of crossing routes where Dak has a tendency to throw high or behind the WRs.
Donovan McNabb was a 59% career passer and routinely threw passes in the dirt. He went to 4 NFCC and a SB playing in a WCO with pretty much no name receivers except TO for 1 season.
He did have few good RBs but our current RBs are better than what he had. Donavan was a better runner but Dak's a better passer than McNabb. Especially the short to intermediate passes.
I call false on saying that Dak doesn't have command of the offense. Also, you don't need to throw into tight window in the WCO. Your referring to more so to the Air Coryell offense which accuracy, reads, and timing is essential.
About 99.9% of fans/media refer to the Bill Walsh offense and it's it's derivatives as the West Coadt Offense.
At some point Defacto naming convention surpasses Technical definition...
Well as i heard over and over McCarthy said he has used this yr to change up his philosophy a bit with his playcalling. So take that for whatever its worth. If thats the case then i think we might see something different than his norm.So I have heard this mentioned several times by McCarthy.
I have watched the Packers bounce us out of the playoffs twice with it.
So what do you guys think about that aspect of the changing offense?
How does Dak fit that or will he struggle by having been in Linehan/Moore schemes?
Is it going to be obvious or a subtle change coming.?
We were lead to believe Moore had this profound change after Linehan was gone.
But I never saw much except we fell behind too often and had to throw to have any chance to stay in games.
Dak looked better but it was not due to design..it was due to have to.
So now West Coast?
Is this going to change anything?
Forum..check in.
Differing opinions welcome.
Oh, he threw it down field this year because Kitna told him to. We saw what that looked like.
Yards per attempt this year:
Tannehill 9.6
Stafford 8.6
Garoppolo 8.4
Mahomes 8.3
Prescott 8.2
Purely at the insistence of Kitna. That is not where he's comfortable at all. It looked shaky at best.FYI, the QB who threw the deepest, on average, in 2019:
Avg Depth of Target
(min 300 att)
1 Winston
2 Wilson
3 Allen
4 Prescott
5 Fitzpatrick
Surprised no one has mentioned Coop. Yes, Dak might be more successful with it, but Coop IS the essential WCO receiver. Great routes, one speed. Coop somewhat reminds me of Jerry Rice when he's hot. Coop fell off just like Dak at the end of the year and need something to revive his career too if we're going to pay him $20-$25million a year. I am stoked about the offense. McCarthy's systems work better for our talent, even using Zeke more for receptions. He's the right guy to mold young Kellen Moore and finetune this offense that we all saw didn't deserve #1 in stats, but has the potential to be great.
So does Zeke fit this role as a pass catching RB.?Agreed. I think we'll see a lot more of the screen/short passing game as a compliment to the run game.
That means fewer rushing attempts, specifically, but it should have the same impact.
Of course he fits, he's an excellent receiver. The lack of productivity this year, if we call it that, is just that they didn't use him int he passing game as much.So does Zeke fit this role as a pass catching RB.?
I am not as sure. There has been a lot of talk about getting Zeke more involved in the passing attack but he only had 400 or so passing yards this year.
Is that what we should expect in a WCO?
Should we see less running yds as a result.?

My take on not leading receivers was more obvious once his shoulder was hurt.I have no issue with using the WCO with added wrinkles. In reality, I'm ok with whatever we choose to do as long we dont totally abandon the run game which is something weve seen is a detriment to this team. Zeke has shown hes durable enough to carry the ball alot and I think hes our best offensive weapon assuming our o-line stays healthy.
I will say that assuming we use alot of short passing routes under McCarthy, Dak needs to quickly figure out how to lead slant passes much better then he has. I'm not trying to put it all on him but he does need to lead these receivers so they can turn these short passes into long gains.

My take on not leading receivers was more obvious once his shoulder was hurt.
He was not striding into his throw but sort of using an in b/w motion.
It had less velocity and was late or behind.
Regardless..
He needs to get well and needs more flexibility in that shoulder if he is going to still run.
