From the 6 writers. All have some good opinions.

From Patrik Walker.
The "Texas Coast" offense is shaping up to be much more versatile and unpredictable than any offense McCarthy ran in Green Bay.

It was mentioned that there will be more balance. But I believe many are taking that the wrong way. Balance, as they had some last season, does not meant a 50 / 50 split of run to pass, or close to it.
I think it means more a balance of when the plays are called. We seen how Moore would Run Run Run, then if working go to Pass Pass Pass. He got into a funk of doing too much of one or the other. I think MM mixes that play calling up, to be more balanced within each series.

Of course if the run is working, you stick to it more, same for the pass at times. But Moore did not even do that.

I expect just as much criticism about his play calling as we had with Moore and will be surprised if there are not a lot of fans lamenting about losing Moore.

Right the first punt the first three and out the place will meltdown... It's what fans do especially around the zone they will complain about every snap every series... They will be talking about tanking if we're losing at halftime I'm game one..

It's ironic they will be clamoring for Kellen Moore to come back even though they were upset he stayed with Mike McCarthy.. They all said it was Jerry forcing more on Mike McCarthy now that he's gone they're gonna want him back the place is literally bipolar...

McCarthy was always a very good offensive general. The criticism he got was getting away from the run. I expect Dallas to play with more tempo, be less predictable, and do a better job making Dak’s life easy.

Think about it…Moore learned under Garrett.Garrett is a proven fraud right now. It will be wonderful to finally get away from the loser regime once and for all.

Also the choice of play and choice of the ball carrier used was a problem. Using Zeke on a outside stretch play when Tony Pollard would have been more effecient was questionable. But we are moving on.

Football used to set up the pass with the run game, that has flipped. Play callers now set up the run with the pass.
I go back to what I've been saying, situational play calling is the key, especially if you do not have a dynamic QB. Dak is very good, but not dynamic. KM called played as if Dak was......this is where MM can really help Dak and our entire team.
Keep the defense on the sidelines and call smart plays. IMO

Define dynamic.

 

[Ranching]

Define dynamic.

Mahomes

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Mahomes

Ok so then 31 teams in the league can't call those plays.

That said, what plays are you actually talking about that require Dak to be more dynamic? That's a pretty vague and unserious criticism if your standard is Mahomes.

 

[PackersNation]

I saw every play Mike McCarthy called for the Packers. I've heard him speak extensively on his thoughts on play calling for many years, but I was told not to discuss the Packers at all in the Fan Zone, so If I get time I will start a thread about my experience and knowledge with Mike McCarthy and his play calling.

Toodle Loo!

I don't give a flying flip about those teams! I guess you do....trying to instigate something......jeez.

When did I say try to make Dak more dynamic? Huh??

You didn't, you said KM called plays as if he was more dynamic than he is...which is nonsensical if you can't give anything specific.

No matter what happens the trolls will whine about something.

McCarthy better hope and pray that his offense is successful. If it stutters and shakes there will be no one else to blame and then say hello to Mr Quinn!

Well it’s kinda funny that u mention this. Rodgers did call him, What exactly?

I have eyes and football knowledge.....now shoo

As labeled above, all called plays called operate on that very principal. If focusing instead on success, some defining work and point towards what you are defining beyond your own sense of success. Do some of the work instead of chunking a rock when you only describe a generalized description.

Your observations of Mike McCarthy's coaching would be relevant to the Fan Zone. Do not include Green Bay Packer boasting with those observations to avoid the thread being moved to either the NFL Zone or Overtime Zone.
