Sorry man but the irony of this post is pretty thick.
Almost as "thick" as the skull of the guy who "couldn't care less" but keeps responding.
Sorry man but the irony of this post is pretty thick.
I remember watching a couple of films of dez working out with the saints players. he was always a move or two behind the rest. looked totally out of shape. you could tell he hadn't spent his time way from football training seriously. perhaps he could sent out a Terrell owens video showing his washboard abs. or his rolls of flab. no one's going to come looking for dez. he'll need to send out his resume.
The more evidence Jerry has that this offense was predictable and easy to defend at times, the more chance he will finally do the smart thing and make changes. Hopefully, Moore gets the message! Talent alone does not win Playoff games. You need to scheme smart and call smart plays at the right time.I'm not interested in what's best for Cole Beasley, he's not a Cowboy any longer. I don't disagree that him talking like this doesn't paint him in a good light. But I don't care about how he said what he said, only what he said. And his confirmation that we have continued to run a rudimentary, uninspired system that is a liability to our players.
That's the takeaway.

I mean it's not like they're not telling the truth. what's our biggest complaint about the carrot? Offense is too simple, outdated, and easy to plan for. literally the same thing they are saying.
I tend to agree with you for the most part, but I also feel that predictability was a huge component as well. Opponents knew 'what the Cowboys do', and what was coming far too often. And those 9-yard comeback routes were far too prevalent, to the point to where it was a running joke.
This is an important off season. Can the O line stay healthy and intact? Will Elliott be productive. And will another off season help Copper and Gallup improve?The good news is that it's not difficult to make improvements. Just moving to a common set of route combinations instead of the excessive comebacks is an easy change to make.
The concern going forward is that scheme changes require players to learn and execute the plays. I don't think it will be a problem for this group of players; however, too much change too soon is always a concern with new coaches/schemes.
Close thread/People take things too personally. Dez & Beas have a right to criticize the offense. Most of us have been criticizing it for years. The truth shouldn't be scorned even if it isn't what you want to hear.
It's been pretty well documented that coaches have been very dismissive of any suggestions from players during the Garrett regime.
I wish them well.
If the cowboys succeed it will likely be because they change, which will validate their opinion.
Why do y'all get butthurt when an athlete echoes the same thing we've been saying on here for almost a decade?
Garrett is a con-artist. A politician who hides behind empty catch phrases because his football IQ is not up to par. He's hamstrung a decent roster for years and gotten away with it because he knows how to lay it on thick with the bossman upstairs and can drive the bus over scapegoats with the best of them. The day he is gone will be the greatest day in this franchise's history since Super Bowl XXX.
It’s rare that a great player doesn’t flourish in any offense.
What? Really? How many players flame out each year. All of them start out with the same opportunities, more of them flame out than flourish..lol

Should be fun to watch. I think we have more tools offensively than we've had in awhile.
Both are scorned exes. If you see either of them, please let them know that the once a month paper goes in straight not sideways. Thanks.
1. Stop tipping off the play with certain personnel packages.All these will help the passing game but also the run game to.
Great players find a way almost always.
Your argument is that a bunch of great players are flaming out quickly?
It’s rare to see a no name player switch teams and become great.
TO and Dez are battering Rams in catch and run scenarios but Garrett didn’t put them in a lot of those situations.
They still found a way in Garrett’s outdated / predictable offense to produce. Most because of the guy throwing the ball.
So I guess you're saying just keep doing what we've been doing right? Go linehan! Oh that's right he was fired. Lol1. Stop tipping off the play with certain personnel packages.
From 11 personnel (Play : Run)
Cowboys 66% : 34%
Patriots 68% : 32%
Rams 59% : 41%
2. Run different plays from same formation.
Same formation or same personnel group?
The Rams ran most of their plays from the same personnel group but they used many formations.
3. On third and short use the olines advantage by using the 11 package.
They used 11 personnel on 81% of third downs.
4. Stop using so many clear out routes which reduces the number of receivers that you can actually throw to.
???
A big part of the Rams offense was how they used route combinations to setup specific players to get open.
5. Stop running so many comeback routes, hit wrs on the move so they can increase the RAC.
For YAC per target (all players with over 50 targets):
Zeke was 11th overall.
Amari Cooper was 4th for WRs.
6. Develop an actual 3rd down scat/speed back.
Is there a 3rd down back better than Zeke?
Zeke 4th in receptions for RBs.
Zeke is an excellent pass blocker.
Tony Pollard
Terrific receiving ability as a RB in college
4.37 forty
Good blocker.
Tavon Austin
Randall Cobb (Has been used as a 3rd down back in the past)
