Using a ‘93 game plan in 2019

One of the after shocks of the rams loss for me was what I saw when I went back and watched the game again. I usually record all the Cowboys games so I can go back and look at the game when I’m not just into the moment live.

My impression after watching that game again after a couple of weeks of letting it stew, was how badly our team got outcoached. The effort was there. Our guys played hard for a full 60 minutes. Effort wasn’t the problem at all.

DEFENSE
Here’s the obvious kicker- on defense everyone was constantly out of position. They simply used our aggression from our front 7 against us. They DID NOT physically whip us. They just hatched a game plan that took advantage of our tendencies on defense. They came up with a great game plan that didn’t require physical dominance. Let’s call it a “modern” game plan. A 2019 game plan. Lots of deception and finesse.

OFFENSE
Us on offense, it was the exact opposite. Garrett and Linehan offer no wrinkles other than an occasional three TE formation or using Noah Brown as a blocker in short yardage situations. Our offensive game plan was simple- run the ball, physically dominate them. Pass when you’re behind the chains.

Problem is what are you gonna do when Connor Williams and Joe Looney can’t block Aaron Donald? Garret’s Answer: Keep doing it anyway. In fact our game plan looked it was devised for a game in ‘93 when our Cowboys could physically dominate anyone. But it’s 2019 and no team in this league can physically dominate anyone else.

CONCLUSION
We have a lot of talent now on this roster. We aren’t that far away from anyone in this league in the talent dept. But we are way behind in the coaching dept but Jerry apparently isn’t bothered enough by that. We got beat in the film room and rams coaches offices- not on the turf. We rolled out a ‘93 game plan against the best game planner in 2019.

And If we’re ever going to compete for a championship in my lifetime again our 76 year old owner has to understand that Garrett isn’t going to get us to the promised land without a major offensive philosophy change. I’m not holding my breath. His only coaching move appears to hinge on our ability to physically dominate everyone.

SMDH.

You have a decade of proof, what more do you need?

Proof of What? That they haven't won a super bowl? A championship game? Look around the league? Let's also look at it for what it really is, they haven't won nothing for 25 years, so logic would tell you it ain't the coach.

Clove said:

Then we should go back and rehire Switzer or Gailey or Campo or Parcells or Phillips, because obviously, it wasn't their fault. They didn't have a decade to prove themselves.

You're right they didn't and Garrett did more than all of them except Switzer

Clove said:

But why fire all of them. Obviously they didn't have enough time to turn it around?

Campo had what 3 5-11 seasons? Chan Gailey was hated by Aikman, BP quit after Romo's fumble, saying he couldn't take another year of that, Phillips lost the team completely , they quit on him.

Every EX player who played for Garrett is completely trashing him.

Dre11 said:

Bs. TO and Crayton. You took Romo comments as trashing him, which wasn't. You haven't heard Murray, Witten, nor Ware.

Doesn't look like Jerry is extending him. I wonder why?

When Garrett is finally fired, I hope you leave with him. That would be a nice present.

Only a fan who has a Garrett pillow would want someone here who's been here over a decade and won what exactly? I thought this was a winning business.
