I really don’t get how some post so definitely about audibles and adjustments. I rarely give any statements on these because how in the world can a fan know anything about a teams audibles and calls?

Are y’all part of the offensive staff? How do so many people make definitive statements on our audibles and calls? By seeing what the result of the play was and then assuming the audible was wrong lol?

We may be bad at this we may be good, but who the heck can say either way as a fan on a couch? How many people on this forum take the time to watch all 22 tape? How many know the play calls, defensive coverages, and reads?

Just confuses me as to how some people are so sure about these things while literally having no idea lol. People act like experts on subjects they know nothing about, but fans are gonna fan so it won’t stop anytime soon.

we're too cocky and confident that we have an all world offense that nobody can stop. Plus we're too busy in the week to add something more DECEPTIVE to our game plan that wouldn't help to hurt us

Judging by this post you must don't watch our games closely! We're clearly calling out calls that are known around the league, and we fail to change it. This isn't a this year issue, this has been going on for years!!!!!

All I know is it pisses me off to no end when Dak changes the play and we run right into a 9 man front for no gain, or lose yards.

If I were a RB, I would let Dak know about it on my way back to the huddle.

Name all our audibles now, go!

Lmao acting like Dak stand up and says, “run right!” or “pass middle!”

All you hear is words man, you have no idea what they are and what the original call is. You do not install the offense.

Agree 100% on the audibles comment.
We do have a handful of serious film study posters that do give somewhat informed opinions on other topics.
Those are appreciated.

Yup, without at least that level of research I’m not sure how you can even begin to surmise what our audibles or adjustments are.

We do have some posters who are former coaches of varying degrees.
It's always nice when you can get informed opinions.
Still, a lot of educated guessing going on , lol

Dak isn’t smart. Just look at his face 90% of the game.

How do you know Dak is not smart, again have you met him? Are you in the education system? What exactly do you know about Dak that says he is not smart? You said he had a low IQ in another thread, you watch him play a game on TV, how is that relevant to is intelect at all?

That can't be, Dak only audibles into passes because he's so concerned with inflating his stats. Everyone on this board knows that.

They listened to mark sanchez then they ran to reddit and here to make threads about it

yes usually something like Red Wagon means "Run Wide" as when you call audibles youre listening to the R and the W

but there are dummy audibles, Peyton Manning was famous for calling 10 audibles at the line and ALL 10 were dummy calls

none of us really know, but something must be going right if were scoring what were scoring

Yeah I'm yet to see a Kill Kill turn into a pass.

I have to he mistaken, because we'd be absolute morons to make that a pattern.
i mean im sure its common they do it but some of that kill kill is a dummy audible

In the game that Greg Olsen pointed out the Red call, they ran Left on Red.

In the Texans game when Mark Sanchez pointed it out, they ran Right on Red...

I think the Cowboys might be intentionally trying to get defenses to jump right/left based on the call. Dak barking out Red or Blue seems far more obvious on some plays than others.

It can be an advantage to the offense if they know a LB is going to jump right/left at the snap. Run plays often fail just based on the final alignment/movement of a LB because it's the difference success/fail of a reach block.

I agree completely with the OP. people rag on Dak for audibles and they rag on Moore for bad play calling when they really have no idea who called what. And, just to add to the confusion, nobody knows what blocking assignment the center has called.
