Twitter: Dak and Kellen Moore worked together to make adjustments at halftime

[Crown Royal]

I’m going to take some heat and can’t believe it defending Garrett but I always thought the bigger issue was starting slow and having to make a ton of halftime adjustments to start beating teams. It wasn’t adjustments that I thought was a problem. It was not starting the game with any real thoughts on how to play the opponent.

Give credit where credit is due - MM empowers his coordinators to do what they do best. Call plays and lead.

But the facts dictate that the coordinators deserve the bulk if the credit for success of offense AND defense.

Players confirm this regularly.

Ad nauseum, the players LOVE and trust their coordinators.

Watch player interviews and coach pressers, this is clear as day.

This is only KM's 3rd year as OC.

Impressive **.

I'm guessing Garrett never took the time to do that with Romo or Dak. Lameass HC if there ever was one, and one of the reasons why he's now sucking it up in NY.

It’s a process (sarcasm)

 

[Rockport]

still remember when CZ homers defending Garrett told us that no one makes half time adjustments

Don’t remember too many of those to be honest.

Look at where MM is vs. KM.

Garret is screwed come Sunday.

Isn't that suppose to happen, all the time?

Not under Garrett lol. This is beautiful to see.

Jason thinks if you do the same thing over and over you will eventually be good at it and succeed.

Isn’t that the definition of insanity?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I don't think Garrett knew we were allowed to do that

Cowboys: Adjust
Garrett: Wait, that's illegal!

So this is what it's like having an actual coaching staff? My apologies as it's been 15 years since I've seen one in Dallas.

All NFL players and coaches admit that by the time you actually get inside, pee, etc, you realistically have about 90 seconds for the head coach to say something and maybe 30 seconds for a position coach before you head back outside. The 12 minute halftime starts when the clock hits zero and ends with teams lined up for kickoff.

So I’m guessing Dak basically said, “The DB is blitzing me with a free run from outside every play. I don’t even have time to throw the slant. You’ve gotta give him someone to cover or give me the RB to block him.”

but if Moore and Dak dont have to piss

 

[waving monkey]

really good blocks

It feels like we are a real organization for the 1st in a decade or so. It was maddening watching us not adjust and seeing the other team adjust and then win.

How did JG ever get another job…

I think the relationship of QB and OC is critical. As for halftime adjustments I'm sure they went over things but I would add with Moore on the sideline he and Dak talk and go over things when offense is on the sideline through out the game. What do people think they only talk and make adjustments at halftime? You think Moore just stands their with his thumb up his butt when defense is on the field?

Uh, except Garrett ran Cowboys NEVER adjusted...offensively or defensively. It was always "BEAT YOUR MAN" and "It's the players. The plan is perfect because I made it"

Name ONE time Garrett stepped up to the podium and said "Yeah, that was on me. I should have done *insert anything else* instead." He always had an excuse or willingness to throw players under the bus.

I wholeheartedly agree. One thing that doesn't get mentioned much is Moore's ability to step into the coaching role. Dak played a role in Kellen Moore not getting another shot as being a QB. He was ahead of Dak on the depth chart. He was right there when Dak when from QB3 to QB1. KM didn't miss a beat. Slid right into coaching without ever looking like he "missed his opportunity." However he worked out as a coach, that always impressed me.
