Dallas Cowboys: What Jason Witten’s return says about the offense
https://thelandryhat.com/2019/03/02/dallas-cowboys-jason-witten-offense/



...Witten expressed how much it bothered him that the team played a man-beat-man scheme a majority of the game and that it simply wasn’t sustainable for success. Jason also brought some of the frustration from his time playing to the light after the Cowboys’ offense started the game off sluggish. The 15-year veteran wondered why Dallas would wait until they were desperate before going up-tempo.

Witten wasn’t the only Cowboys player to voice their frustrations about the scheme and play-calling. In a Twitter rant, former wide receiver Dez Bryant took shots at Linehan calling out his poor play-calling and the fact everyone lined up in the same spot for 17 weeks.

Wideout Allen Hurns told ESPN’s Josina Anderson that during the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans, that Linehan made the worst play call you could make against the coverage they were showing. Veteran receiver Cole Beasley made it known he wasn’t a fan of the offense as well, and may lead him to look for a better fit.

So what does the Witten return tell us about the offense moving forward? Why would the tight end that retired so abruptly to become an analyst be so eager to get back on the field? I believe he’s returning because changes are being made on offense and he wants to accomplish the ultimate goal, winning a Super Bowl...

According to Brad Sham, because Lineham is gone and Moore is in.....

I won’t hold my breath until I see the new offense

Probably a cluster of reasons #82 is back.

I think the move to KM increased the chance of Bease would come back, but his contract demands are a whole different story.

I think Witten return has more to do with him stinkin it up on MNF.

And we obviously didn’t have a TE any better so we welcome him back. No need to make more out of it.

Interesting to see the tally of receivers criticizing the passing game. You can add Butler to that. You can add Cooper to that, as he and Dak went rogue to get a long TD.

It's easier to count the guys who *haven't* complained.
