i guess he sucked too in 2016.
No. He didn't but that's part of the point. He had the advantage of a rookie QB who no one had tape on. He had an o-line that was dominate.
He doesn't now. But he doesn't adjust. Last year's Falcons game was a microcosm. One lineman was getting destroyed but he never adjusted. He allowed that one lineman to get mauled and cost Dak's confidence in the process. No adjustments at all.
But its not just a single play, or game. It is multiple seasons. We are still running the same damn offense that worked in 2014. That was a beautiful year, no doubt, but those players aren't these players. Dak ain't Romo. Zeke ain't Murray. Cooper ain't Dez. Quit running a damn offense like they are.
He doesn't tailor his offense to his players. He expects the players to tai!or themselves to his offense. That won't work. Dak doesn't have the same strengths Romo had. Get him out of the pocket more. Quit running the same damn routes.
To be fair, this isn't just Linehan's fault. It is endemic to Garrett's offensive style. I firmly believe that Garrett could be a fine head coach, if we left his offensive style completely behind. Bring in someone completely new and even out of Jason's comfort zone, who understands how to utilize a running QB and all the weapons we have. I believe Garrett would look massively improved, as would Dak.
PS: An actual QB coach and a healthy o-line wouldn't hurt.
