ESPNDallas: Garrett doesn't want to be one-dimensional

[Doomsday101]

You can pick that apart with any game. It always comes down to making plays. But when you have multiple drives that are three and out, nine times out of ten, you probably passed too much and exposed your defense to being on the field too much, which Phillips himself confirmed.

But answer this, which type of play is easier to execute and get positive yards with? Run or pass?

Take as much time as you need.

That would depend on the call, there is a lot more to having guards or tackles pulling around or running traps along the line as far as complex blocking. Again I would have like to seen us run more then again had we made many of the plays I mentioned we may have been able to get some drives going that would have allowed us more situations to run. As for picking the game apart I believe that is what the other side of this argument is doing as well. We could have ran it 3 time stright and punted had the results been the same I can promise you Garrett would be called out for that as well.

Folk missed field goal from 38 yards

not 1 of those plays was a running play. shocking!

your point? hypnotoad>DallasEast

 

[Doomsday101]

I personally think the game-plan should be based upon our opponent and whether were at home or on the road. Try to grind the clock out and pick up first downs on the road, take the crowd out of the game. We did the opposite and it back-fired big time.

We did it in Philly and won. A defense who knows how to bring the heat in a hostile stadium. Only differance our guys stepped up and made plays in doing that we could keep drive moving. In GB we didn't

You don't have to be so mean.

You don't have to be so mean.

:laugh2: you're still the best Mod on this site though

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

My only knock on Garrett is that he doesn't like to establish the run. I'd like to see him improve on that. After this loss, I think he will.

 

[CF74]

He said play action.

When has he ever ran that and why would teams fall for it as much as we pass???

But the Cowboys abandoned the run after the first quarter, when Marion Barber had four carries for 27 yards.

It must be nice to be able to create lies to justify your job MacMahon.

I agree, it is called situational awareness. A team should tailor their gameplan to the team they are playing and where they are playing.

To go on the road to a stadium that the team has only 1 victory in team history and go 85% pass plays agains a blitz happy defense is just ********. I have no idea what the hell Garrett was thinking.

They weren't anywhere close to 85% until the very end of the game after 27 (29 if you count Romo scrambles) consecutive pass plays after being down 17-0.

Not counting the 3 pass plays at the end of the first half where they were trying to get a score before halftime, the Cowboys had a 60-40 pass/run ratio before being down 17-0. Now if they had a few less 2nd and 3rd and longs that ratio more than likely would have been closer to 50-50. I wish people would stop fabricating a false idea of what actually happened, and look at what actually DID happen.

I surely hope it shows in Jason G. play calling that he don't want to be one-dimensional instead of multi-dimensional.

Yes, these are drive killers. You not going to get a chance to keep drives alive to force defense to back off when you are shooting yourself in the foot like that. Defense is not going to back down until you start putting up points on them if all you are going to do is make mistakes they will keep coming.

Yeah, you're right. They will keep coming with run and pass blitzes until you stop it. But it wasn't just execution which caused them to keep coming. It was also play calling. You beat the blitz with quick slants, bubble screens, draws, and screens yada. You can also keep running the ball and you will break one. And the wildcat is a good scheme to run in.

It isn't all on Garrett except in the sense the offense is his show. However, it fails is on him. Players need to execute because he's only the coach. But he needs to put them in the best position to succeed. And that wasn't done Sunday with any continuity.

What is most bothersome is there is a template for other teams to attack the offense. Eventually they have to step up and defeat blitzes. They do that with execution, recognition, and the right plays.

Garrett is the OC so yes he shared in the blame but again we had the plays there for the taking that should have been made we failed to make them and these plays were big drive killers for us. It is hard to have balance when simple plays are not converted that keeps drives alive instead we are forced to punt.

Garrett's biggest problem is that if he doesn't get a good amount of yardage on first down, whether it's from the run or the pass, he almost ALWAYS passes on 2nd down. He needs to learn that if he gets 2 or 3 yards running the ball on 1st down, run the ball again on 2nd down! It's all about putting the team in position on manageable 3rd downs so Romo doesn't get KILLED.

He seems to get impatient. After we drove the field running the offense exactly how it should be run, we ended up missing a TD pass (a tad high and Austin jumped off the wrong foot) and then missed a FG, it seemed like Garrett felt like he had to hurry up and make up for that possession as fast as he could, instead of just doing what he did on the first drive. The second we get behid, no matter by how much, Garrett seems to get impatient, especially if it's after a lost opportunity. This is where a Dan Reeves would have helped. There is no one there to tell Garrett to take a breath.

Garrett sounds like John Edwards in South Park

"I'm NOT A ******!!"

Except that Garrett pretty much ran all the other drives exactly the same way.

After the misses FG the next series by Dallas was

1st down Barber runs for 5 yards
2nd and 5 Romo quick throw to Barber for 13 yards and a 1st down

1st down Choice run for neg 1 yard
2nd and 11 Barber run for 2 yards
3rd and 9 incomplete to Austin

Punt

Next time we get the ball

1st down Jones 2 yard run
2nd 8 Romo sacked
3rd and 18 Romo throw to Jones for 9 yards

Punt

Garrett did not get away from trying to run it we did not do a good job when we did try to run the ball leaving ourself in long situations.

 

[superpunk]

It starts with the run and pass. It starts with running it inside, running it outside, throwing it long, throwing it short and using different personnel groups and different players. That’s what we’re always trying to do. Sometimes game situations throw that out of whack.” .

Apparently it "starts" with about 8 different things.

What do "starts" mean?

 

[InmanRoshi]

BP is tops in my book but we lead the league in penalties under him as well.

Uhm, no we didn't.
