No. Im arguing because you're using a guy who literally said he didnt want motion and trying to blame our HC to fit your agenda. You havent liked the hire since the beginning. Aaron Rodgers is a known diva and was the star of the franchise. Pretty sure MM was giving said Diva what he wanted.

Rodgers said he, McCarthy, didn't like motion and after 1 week where is the pre-snap motion Philadon?

Is this another Process that takes 10 years or can we just acknowledge early that this might be an issue.

Mike went to the playoffs 9 out of 13 seasons and had a top 10 offense like 11 times. That’s way better than JG could muster with two good QB’s. Mike also coached a lot of teams with a ton of injuries and still won.

Tony would add it in pre-snap to screw with the linebackers and safeties. But you’re limited if its not built into the offense.

its not necessary all the time, but it does add stress to the D.
The Rams seem to like it
Rams have a modern offense. Cowboys are always a day late and dollar short when it comes to creativity.
Cowboys motto is we will beat you with talent and not by scheme. It works when we have a lot more talent than the opposing team using the same philosophy.
But its why when we play bad teams we struggle to just blow them out. I am tired of the defense dictating what our offense does.
How about we set the tone on offense and defense instead of always reacting.

Favre & Rodgers

He needs to prove something and should not have the backing of any Cowboys fan until he seperates this offense from the same old crap we've looked at for years.

That was Jason Garrett last week. Nothing looked different. Just a boring stale offense with 0 flair to it.

So if the team comes out and there is all kinds of motion.

People will be mad right? The team is reacting to public complaining again.

Its the same as practicing outside right?

Oh well, looks like Jerry was sold a bill of goods that wasn't as advertised. He's been doing that to the fans for 20 years so I won't shed any tears for this.
One game does NOT make a trend and the only person who might have hoodwinked the Dc was Kellen Moore hes the lone variable from last years offense and well it looked a lot lime the one garett was supposed to be meddling with yet hes no longest here

so all the bs in all the threads about all the its the same ole same ole after ONE game needs to freaking REALX!!

if its still this way and not working after game 6 maybe we see a trend and im betting MM is smart enough to see he was fooled by boy wonder and takes back the play calling ..

that offense was ran by KM 2019 and 2020 and this time i believe we have HC who will try and teach KM after each game and if KM isnt capable of adapting, he will be demoted to OC with no play calling responsibility's.

lets give MM the benefit of ten doubt and see how he makes changes game to game..the toe stepping may begin much earlier then MM thought it would but it will happen, he likes to call plays and will take that back if the offense struggles..

You're right.. It's just 1 game.

But you would think that after having an entire training camp & new coach you would see some wrinkles added to the offense that would have the new coaches identity to it.

I mean they couldn't show camp to the fans or anything because they wanted the element of surprise.

The only surprise for me was it was the exact same offensive crap i've been looking at for years.

You want pre snap movement and motion? Dust off one of Tom Landry's playbooks. Just one play has more shifts and motion than an entire Jason Garrett season. If that doesn't stress the defense, at the very least it will aggravate them. If they were mic'd up back then you could probably hear the linebackers saying, c'mon, snap the ball already.

Did MM say he didnt like motion? or did Aaron Rodgers say MM didnt like motion?

The question is, did the time spent in the basement last year change his mind about all this?

That whole story was BS. Whatever time was spent was purely for show because it didn’t result in anything new. It was propaganda to help him land a new job. Once here, he kept the OC, terminology, and plays. He changed nothing which means he didn’t spend that year compiling some magical scheme comprised of all the things teams were doing that worked. We are still on the same path as before, we just have a fatter head coach.

Anyone have actual data/metric of how McCarthy called his offense? ex: playaction, motiion, 3 wr, 2 TE, 1 back and etc?

Scrolling through the all 22 and at 7:43 of the 2nd quarter 3rd and 3 cooper went in motion back to his spot. The ball is snapped...Lamb runs across the field wide open and dak ran and dove for 5 yards. If he just throws it to lamb there he might break a huge play.

3rd and 7 on the same drive 5:22 Jarwin is open for a TD. Dak throws it to a contested Lamb and it gets broken up.

maybe its not the motion.

The pre-snap motion pretty much disappear last year, didn't it?

Let's be honest, McCarthy had one of the great QBs of our time playing for him. Look at the plays we saw Rodgers made to beat the Cowboys. No doubt McCarthy looked like a genius with Rodgers at QB. Even so, he has to be better than Garrett. At least McCarthy got something out of his team. The Cowboys always underperformed with Garrett.

I know it's only week 1. But after the game I am here hoping both sides of the ball gets much better. Even Dallas at their best, that offense isn't taking us too far. It lacks any creativity. It's too simple. Defenses just tee off.

When do we play the Ravens? That might not be pretty. I'm also not looking forward to playing the Cards with that little rat running around behind the line.

We can only hope the vanilla offense that was on display last week comes from a combination or rust, lack of offseason prep, injuries that handicapped the game-plan, pressure from the D that affected their play-calling and limited their playbook, and trying to keep players comfortable in what they know as they make the transition under a new coaching staff

Hopefully we see some meaningful gains in terms of offensive production and efficiency. Also— “Rome wasn’t built in a day”— as frustrating as week 1 was, the staff deserves time to work before the product is judged.

I don’t want to believe it but I watched the game. Can anyone point out anything that we saw during the game that would point to someone studying all 32 teams for a year and then implementing the things that were working throughout the league? I saw slow developing comeback routes just like we had before. I saw a defense get no consistent pressure and leave huge holes everywhere that were easily exploited. I saw very little adjustment and nothing unique at all anywhere. That’s just more of the exact same thing with a different head coach. Did he really study the league for an entire year and only come up with the math saying going for it more on 4th down might be beneficial and then apply that at the exact wrong time late in a close game? Someone supplying me with facts to the contrary would greatly be welcomed. Thank you.
