Dak on how much the offense will change with McCarthy: “Mike told me 20-30% change."

Someone just shot a Nilgai in my front yard and I whooped his butt...that's as important as this post.lol!

What the heck is a nilgai?

 

[nightrain]

instead of 3 route trees they will 4.

 

[LonnieElam]

Blah blah blah. It'll be the same crap next season.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Sorry if this is a repost.

Sounds like a number pulled out from his arse. How do you measure this? LOL....and i wonder if Dak is gonna come into camp
in "the best shape of my life" again. Anywhooo, this should have happened the moment MM was hired, now back to square one. KM experiment a disaster. Thanks Jerry, at least it didn't take you 10 years to figure this one out.

Lol, okay. I guess I need to just Google it.

Lol, okay. I guess I need to just Google it.

…..or a horse with antlers, lol

but definitely nothing like a pushmi pullyu

I hope the 20% includes less Dak interceptions.

I'm okay with risking an INT on an arm punt type shot on 3rd and long instead of being check down charlie with Witten/Schultz for a 5-6 yard gain on 3rd & 10+.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Won't matter if he doesn't stop throwing interceptions. That's what he needs to fix.

He's a choker and against defenses with a pulse fails miserably.
This is something that will NEVER change unless brain transplants become a reality as it's mostly mental with him!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

They just need to take care of the RB position now and they should play even tougher on offense.

I really am excited to see the offense… for the first time in I don’t know how long.

100% .....what's crazy is the frustration fans/posters are showing it's hard to tell if we finished the season 12-5 or 5-12. They are frustrated and rightfully so but man we were just one game ( and solid QB performance ) from playing in NFCCG. That is def something to hang your hat on going forward. Hell, with Quinn back and the running game becoming more priority I'm Jacked also.

Just me, but it appears they have come to grips with how to best win it with Dak........hence ( 2016 = having a league-leading rushing attack )

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

If McCarthy were smart he'd use the offseason to evaluate if Dak is even able to handle a 20% change to the offense, if not then they need to be drafting a QB.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Hopefully that means creating mismatches and better play design will finally be a part of the offense.

What the heck is a nilgai?

[Polkton31]

20% that is basically nothing.

Unless it's taken out of your paycheck... then 20% becomes a HUGE amount.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I can agree with that.

Yup,
Good call. Because he had so masterfully perfected the same offense he had been running for 7 years I'm sure Dak's decision making improves greatly now that there's a 20 to 30 percent change.
Such BS. Playcaller or scheme won't matter, in fact I bet it's even worse.
SleepNumber real time decision making won't change because of playcaller or scheme.

Next offseason when Mike is fired, it will be all about how Mike did not know how to use or mis-used Dak and people will want Kellen back, lol.

Too funny.

I did. I had no idea… and I grew up in North Texas.

Three curls / four curls is actually a good playcall on first down because it gets you ahead of the chains and sets up short 2nd downs. It's also an extremely effective playcall on, say, 1st and 20 after a penalty, because it pretty much guarantees you get roughly half your penalty yardage back and can salvage the drive. McCarthy did that a TON in the Rodgers era.

It's a bad playcall on third down because other teams know it's coming and they will guard the sticks like a hawk, so the windows are very tight to throw if they are there at all.

That's why I said it should be tweaked and or removed. Not remove it completely.
Most film break downs by ex-players all say they hate that play and don't know why some teams run it so much. Warner says the timing is all wrong with the way we run it. He said it should be tweaked if we want to continue using it. He's not a fan of the play.

 

[Zman5]

Fair enough. I feel like the reason no one likes the route trees is because they are basic. Say what you want about Warner but the guy is a true jedi master at the QB position and when he breaks down the film he is always saying stuff like when we did this it was an option, when we did this the WR had a choice. I am to the point where I believe that Dak is never going to be that guy that picks a team apart because he knows what they are doing and takes advantage. It is why he was so effective and efficient as a rookie. IMHO no change to the offense is going to make that much of a difference. Dak is pretty much at his ceiling. It isn't a terrible ceiling but it doesn't look like it is championship caliber either.

Warner also repeatedly says he doesn't understand what the OC is trying to do when he breaks down our offense. He also points out some of the route combos we run are garbage and there are better ways to run them.
