Do you think the game has passed by our Coordinators?

[LocimusPrime]

We all yearn for those teams from the nineties. Lol

Sometimes I do, Garrett trying to recreate a team that won 3 Super Bowls, I was born in 84 and only got to see one SB win. Marinelli seems to have this entire defense willing to run through a brick wall for him, but he's as old school as it gets, maybe this Tampa 2, bend but don't break idea is out of date, I like to think I am wrong, but I'm not sure. I just want us to evolve if this whole thing is played out. This is the only team I ever cared about, sick of the heartbreak.

They spiked it instead of calling TO? Dallas was not trying to kill the clock they were already in FG range and after picking up a 1st down yes they spike it they were not looking to tie they were looking to get the TD as in playing not the lose. I had no problem at all with Dallas spiking it and trying to get the go ahead TD.

If they were looking to get the TD then why did they kick a FG? lol. POOR TIME MANAGEMENT LOST US THAT GAME

Funny both coordinators were getting praises all year and neither had any problems in the first GB game!

My issue is the dude leading them.

I recall at the beginning of training camp ,this year everybody saying we didn't have a chance because there was no talent on the
defensive side of the ball. I read loads of 8/8 predictions because of this lack of talent. Marinelli coached em up and we finished about
middle of the pack. Coaching is a teaching skill but you asked has the game passed him by?

Yes i did, some of my friends at work were saying that, i was wondering what people on here thought. That's why I asked, i didn't say i agreed.

I'm not qualified to say.

I give this post five stars. Most fans here don't even know our actual schemes and know even less about what the rest of the league is doing...what the trends are.

He was forced to capitulate to 3-man rush because our 4-man rush didn't have the talent to apply pressure.

I just dont get the Red hate still. Red puts together the staff. Runs the staff meetings.They put together the game plans
we go 13-3 with low talent on defense and a rookie QB [admittedly is a once in a decade QB] but you dont like Red.
I know why he doesnt have a bullying personality. Dont deny it.

One thing that made my head explode in the playoff game is pulling Zeke off the field in situations where one would think the threat of him getting the ball would have given most plays a better chance of success, even on plays when the ball was never going to Zeke. I though they were trying to emulate the 90's offense and if so, I dont recall Emmitt ever standing on the sidelines in key situations.

Am I crazy to think this way?

Zeke is pulled out to get a blow. Sometimes he takes himself out to get some air.

If we are going to talk about modern football...this is an absolute trend that virtually all teams have embraced.

Can you name a team with an every-down running back who runs more than Zeke? No, you can't. There isn't one.

I'm not at all sure Marinelli prefers "bend-don't-break."

Give him some personnel and we'd see a lot less bending.

Yep.

It's hard to raise the sails when you're too busy trying to plug holes in the hull.

Holes in the hull.

with a really good qb is don't take 7 years to build a superbowl contender Johnson built a mini-dynasty in four Quinn has the falcons in the super bowl in two the defense in dallas Is not good but there are other problems as well the coaching staff is part of it by the time this bunch gets a defense built the offense will be old and creaky

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

The game has passed by our owner and our coach

The guy doesnt understand time mgmt. Against the Cardinals we lost because time ran out on the FG kicker.... We lost against GB because he spiked the ball instead of calling a TO and gave Aaron Rodgers too much time.

soooo many to list man. soooo many time/clock management issues with JG.

i need to find that old list i had laying around. it needs some additions. i thought those additions would have been gone by now but lo and behold they reared their ugly head at the worst time. LOL

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

this is a good topic.


so may angles to hit this topic from. where to start?

my gut feeling is these guys/coordinators/coach staff are behind the times. these guys are vintage.

anachronistic.

that's not a bad thing and it can bring them success but it takes a lot of work to roll with the new guard/kids around the block.

(yeh sure modern day elements too, a hybrid patchwork but i remind you of the core of their philosophy. thats what its based on. old school style)

NEEDS TALENT to run. otherwise....... it will always be off.

A four man front is also meant to keep someone in the pocket and not allow him to get outside and buy more time. I like that capitulate word. Lol

Haha, when I first read your post, I read...Zeke is pulled out to get SOME blow..I did a double take on that one.

 

[conner01]

I don't think so. Defensively we have little talent on the DL this is a major area of need and I felt the defense played beyond the talent that was there. Offensively Dallas ranked 5th in points scored.

Our short comings on D are much more about talent than coaching
