You may be right and this is where both Dak and Kellen need to get real with each other.Problem is I don't think Moore CAN figure this problem out.. Or should I say he won't. Moore thinks "yards are yards" so there is no amount of study that is going to convince him of the value of a 3 yard run and of 15-20 3 yard runs just like it pounding on the defense. I think Dak is going to have to figure this out for himself in much the same way Romo eventually had to overcome Garrett.
Yesterday I watched Derrick Henry average about 2.5 yards per carry through his first 12-14 carries but then late in the game he started breaking off some big ones. He still didn't have a BIG day but he finished with a respectable 20 for 85. We see great backs do it every Sunday.. pound away at the defense until the dam breaks.. Our OC and by extension our QB doesn't have the patience to do that. So if we fall behind by 3 points we play as if we're down 3 scores. And it sucks.
People always get caught up in "magic numbers" of runs or run/pass ratio.. but in reality it's never about these imaginary magic numbers.. It's about calling the right play at the right time for the right defense. Period.
I can do this and that, so what do we do when this and that happens to counter my this and that?
How should I call out of plays to make an advantage rather than being manipulated by the D pre-snap look?
They need to get to work on this.
