A WR Option Noone is talking about

[Rayman70]

maybe it is just me, but I don't feel like Dallas offense gurus put their players in the best position to succeed. I don't feel Dez, Twill, Butler or Beasly are the problem.
Dallas runs lots of single back 3 WR sets.
Dallas needs Dez on the side with single coverage running skinny posts and slants, hoping he can beat his man after the catch.
Beasley and/or Switzer need to be on the other side slot running combo rubs, picks, and clear out patterns forcing 3dbs to cover 2 in a zone.
TWill needs to make his $$$ across the middle.
Butler needs to take the top off.
JWitten needs to do his chain moving square in/out to use his big body as a shield alternately Hanna/Rico need to run seam routes when they can get LB coverage.

Sometimes it seems like Dallas just doesn't understand where the strength of their own players is at, and tries to get the player to fit the scheme instead of modifying the scheme to fit the players.

More precise,its the lack of good situational play calling. The good teams do that aspect very well. Sometimes JG and Linehan seem to be unwavering to a fault with their philosophy and unwillingness to evolve with each game..the ebb and flow.

And an inability of our outside WR's to create separation has been a problem for a long time, going well back into the Romo era. Romo covered this problem up to a great degree by scrambling to extend the play.

When Romo went down, all our backup QB's looked terrible, even though they had all looked viable at other times in their careers.

Man, there's just so many signs to point toward. And as in all things in life, it's a combo of all of it. Not sure this can be solved w/ the status quo in play calling.
