A real QB Coach is needed badly!

[Sydla]

If Marinelli goes, they would just promote Eberflus. And he, himself has never developed any LB's. And he would probably run the same schemes.
Unless the entire staff goes, it will be same crap.

I was just about to edit my post and say the same thing. They'd probably just promote Eberflus.

Also need a good db coach (turn your head!) and wr coach (Dooley? Really?).

Our defensive line has been great at being disruptive. Even in the Eagles game, we hit Wentz all game long..he just got up and kept fighting. Truthfully...Wentz wasn’t that great, he didn’t do enough to win until the Eagles started running the ball. He barely completely half his passes and didn’t even top 170 passing yards...we just got bashed in the run in the second half which calmed down our rushers and allowed a little bit to open up for him.[/QUOTE]

Well there were too many times they "almost" had him, or had him and he got away. I don't recall him getting hit all that much to make a difference. Too many times I seen 3 of our DL bottled up by 3 or 4 OL / TE but no other player came free to rush Wentz.[/QUOTE]

Eagles have a great OL. I thought we did enough to throw him off his game. No team is going to pile up sacks against that unit. As I said, he wasn’t that good. The running game bailed that offense out.

 

[Sydla]

LOL at Wentz not being that good. Yeah, he has a rough stretch after the opening drive, but in the 2nd half, he made legit big time throws and plays. He had a rating of 96 and a QBR of 71. Those are pretty good numbers.

It's hilarious how some of you are still trying to hold onto this belief that Wentz really isn't that good. He was the best QB on the field Sunday night and it wasn't even that close IMO.

NOTE: Before some of you get your panties wadded up, I am not suggesting Dak is a bad QB. He just wasn't very good Sunday night and Wentz was clearly the better QB last night, and for much of the season.

Why did we start trying to run right on key downs when it wasn't working and running left was?

We had a key third and 2 where they shifted Beasley into the backfield and instead of running left which had been more successful, they tried to run behind Cooper and Bell. They got smashed.

Cooper and Bell are on the left side...

 

[Sydla]

Cooper and Bell are on the left side...

LOL. Whoops. I meant the other way.

Me dumb.

The team badly needs Romo to return as QB coach. If you ask Dak last year what helped him progress into a star and helped him along the season he would say Romo was in his ear , helped him in the film room etc. Now that he is no longer here, and the fact Dak never got to sit back for a year or two to evaluate a true pro is now hurting him. #9 had a true strategic mind for the game.

Romo makes more than the highest paid Head Coach and can probably ask for a raise now that he has single-handily made CBS relevant. He is not going to be coaching.

I would love to see Michael Irvin as the WR coach. Can you imagine having that knowledge and passion on our sidelines?

 

[Bullet22]

I agree, I think Dak is trying to do too much with Elliott out.....

 

[AbeBeta]

No way Tony returns to be a QB coach. He is making way more money announcing. and it is something he seems to enjoy. And so much less stress. And probably less hours, especially in the off season.

He gets to travel, so there is a per diem expenses he gets also most likely.

Yes. Stay for the per diem.

 

[mahoneybill]

The guy that helped him is calling the game on Thursday

Bring Tony Back as Assistant head coach, and let him serve QB coach role as well. He can give sideline inputs into how to attack D, and offensive play calls.....

 

[mahoneybill]

I agree, I think Dak is trying to do too much with Elliott out.....

Would also help if our receivers caught the balls, even if its tough. Have often heard it said that if it hits their hands it should be a catch.

On another note, with the number of drops Dez has, lets use Butler on some deep routes, even if he doesn't catch it we won't be in any worse shape than Dez's current tendency to not make a catch...

Butler looks like he can get separation beyond the markers which is an improvement...

Wasn’t that Dak’s call to hand it and not keep?

 

[bodi]

Wilson has not helped any QB here ever.

I HAVE HATED on this guy for years

 

[khiladi]

I don't think all the players forgot how to play football since last year
I think lenahan's offense does very little to resemble what he installed last year. I can't believe he has a quarterback Who throws as good as anybody I've ever seen on the move and yet he wants to make him a drop-back pocket passer. Where was Jason Witten the other night that was screaming for a tight end but yet we didn't call his number I would have been happy with a 6 or 8 yard gain on first down. Why did we stop running outside when we were getting 10 + yards every single time.
Don't get me started on rodless Marinelli.
So there is what you need get ginger and the merry men out the door.
And yes Wade Wilson can go with them

Every coach in the world wants they’re qb to play from the pocket, because it doesn’t limit the field as far as where to pass. When your moving out the pocket you effectively, as a defense, have lesser field to defend, meaning half the field. QBs aren’t suppose to be throwing across the body regularly.

Plus, it’s a Coryell offense and that’s what the Qb is supposed to do. This is the main reason Dallas ended the Callahan project as play-caller, because they didn’t want to change the offensive playbook.

RG3 has statistically his first year almost as good a year as Dak, but a large part of that was because of the read-option and Shanny tailoring it to him while he was suppose to develop from the pocket. Teams adjusted like they do. They took away his first read and he was done.

The point is Dak HAD to learn to play from the pocket.. you can only keep him on a leash for so long..

 

[jazzcat22]

Yes. Stay for the per diem.

no, stay for the much higher pay and less stress and less hours

Romo should just say, you took away my chance when the stars inally aligned for me, and this after all the beatings I took..

Doesn't mean he can't throw from the pocket, but when you can't block, you have to adjust. Most QB's look like crap when under duress, especially young ones, we are not forcing defenses to cover the whole field. Dak played from the pocket last year and looked fine.

 

[DC Cowboy]

I am not doubting anyone at all. I’d love detailed anyalysis that compares our uncomplicated offense with a “modern offense”.

I’d also like the halftime adjustments quantified with some examples of what other coaches have done against us. Anyone could see them not adjusting to Green getting killed the entire game, but what are some others.

Make no mistake. Although I’ve been quiet about it I’ve never been on board with Garrett, but I was willing to give him plenty of chances. He simply seems unqualified, and yes his clapping is likely an attempt to mask his incompetence.

As for Rod I see clearly how the game has passed him by. Continually giving receivers 10 yard cushions as conceding 6-7 yard plays is just dumb.

I get the feeling offensive coordinators know exactjy what the D will do and how they will react to scheme.
A great player like Lee actually enables him to continue to not attempt outsmarting(scheming) the offense.

It’s past time to move on.

I thought it was very telling that Tony Romo, during the broadcast, referred to him as a motivator. Said nothing about his coaching/adjustments ...

 

[john van brocklin]

A lot has been written about the Cowboys demise and rightfully so. The offense needs some retooling but can be made whole again quickly. The receivers need to be taught how to run routes or replace them. The OL needs a couple of very good replacements/backups for injuries. But the real problem is at coaching. The first change is at QB coach that can solve the technique problems with Dak. The next coach change is OC who understands tactical changes and when to use them. It is hard to watch other teams who can change direction on a dime when needed. The head couch needs to be sat down with the GM and the facts of modern NFL play explained or a change needs to be made here as well.
The defense has a real good start but does need a few new parts. The middle of the defense is the problem followed by the secondary play. A real nose tackle, two more LBs who are field generals too, and couching change for LBs and secondary.
Now you have my changes for the off season that need to be made for the Cowboys to stay with the Eagles and make a run at the Super Bowl.

A real headcoach ?
