Garrett couldn’t field a RG to save his life. He sucks with the Giants and in 2020, they hardly used pre-snap motion and play-action. It was the same with him over here. We had no real RG in Dallas under Garrett. The delayed draw was basically the only thing we ran and Barber was only a checkdown route in the passing game. And no short passing game.
Dallas under Garrett with Romo basically had to scrap the play and go shot-gun hurry up.
We lucked into Callahan who started rebuilding the blocking schemes to zone with the line and revamping the RG. Guys like Skip Peete were fired and Garrett’s brother, given a PR “not fired, but chance to move on to greater things” departing after 2012-2013 season.
Linehan completely adjusted the offense for Dak. He basically completely eliminated the 5-7 traditional drop step and halfway into Dak’s first season, they used more play-action than Romo did the whole season in 2014, his highest career usage. Linehan multiple times adjusted at half-time by going heavy run, including the GB and Seattle playoff games. Our WR Corp with Dez as the main X didn’t work well with Dak, because Dez doesn’t beat men man on man, he out jumps them. We are loaded at WR now.
