Felix nonsense...

[jimmy40]

If Felix were healthy, this thread wouldn't exist. Clearly he isn't 100%. You can run but not cut with certain knee injuries, as seems to be the case with Felix.

He was cutting extremely well on one of his kick returns. Felix isn't going to average 8 yards a rush for his career although a lot of posters here seem to think so.

Sometimes the defense may show it to late to change the protection. Thats why alot of teams run no huddle. Comentators are so wrong most of the time on TV. They think that teams run no huddle so that the defense can't substitute. Actually teams go no huddle so that once you get to the line of scrimage the ball can be snapped at any time. Notice you see Peyton do his hands like he wants the ball, but then he walks away and barks out a bunch of stuff and the ball isn't snapped for another 10-15 seconds. This is because once the QB is in position to take the snap, it forces the defence to be ready to play. They can't keep screwing around and moving around theey need to be ready for the snap. Its hard to call blitzes against a no huddle team, you almost force the defense to play base.

Dallas should play no huddle especially when Felix is in the game because he can flex out as a WR in the slot and force the defense to guard him with a LB. We can run this set out of 21 personell. everybody plays base Defense when they see a FB in the game. But when felix is in the game. Its really 11 personell if we wanted it to be. Look at how New Orleans uses Bush, and Philly uses Westbrook. We do nothing with Felix in the passing game other than throwing a few screens. You know the CB's will play the outside WR, The strong saftey will go to the TE side. A LB must flex out with Felix. This could always be a mismatc!.

Our gameplans are not creative at all. we focus more on playing the style that we want to play rather than focusing on finding individual matchups like I just spoke of. Jason Garrett in otherwords has his mind made up of how he see's the game rather than do what we need to do. He obviously is in his comfort zone when Tony is in shot gun throwing the ball. He took alot of heat early when we struggled. He changed, we won, he got back cocky ... and then resorted right back to his comfort zone. He does not want to be a ball control dominant OL type smash mouth team. I think since he has designs on being a Head Coach. He tries to use the offense as an operatunity to display his brillance, rather than use it do display the Dominance of the OL. I think if we contiued to rush for 200+ yards per game he is affraid he wouldn't get the credit. But if we throw for 4000 yards then he will get alot of credit. Wade is not the problem b/c this is the best Cowbot defense I have seen in a while. But jerry hired Garett so Wade can't override Jason. When Tony threw the INT. it was either 1st or 2nd down. Why the hell are we in shot gun wen Marion or Choice can get 3-4 at anytime. That would have been a good time to run that wilcat with choice.

very depressing post which cannot be completely ruled out at all.

Great post, cowboyMarlon.

I'm honestly tired of beating up RJ -- despite what some people think, I naturally I want him to succeed because he's one of ours. But to tell the truth, I've always suspected this, too:

It's always felt to me like Garrett is here to pad his resume and use the job as a stepping stone to a HC job as much as anything. For one, I've never heard him say one good thing about Wade, ever. You'd think he would -- even if he didn't really believe it -- just to be a team player. But I agree with what you said. I get the feeling he wants to improve his own stock as much as anything.

Now I'll admit I could be wrong. But he doesn't help his case much when he never, ever talks to the media, so we really don't know what he thinks about a lot of things. But I guess it's good that someone else sees the same thing I've been thinking.

If the argument was give more carries to Choice instead of Barber, I would be all in. Relax about everyone's favorite pet star, Felix. He will be just fine if he ever gets healthy. To much potential to risk, is what the staff could be thinking. It's what I'm thinking.

Do you think that he's 100%? He looks tentative to me.

I think that you a dead on here. Of course the stupidity of this mindset, if true, is that nothing succeeds like success especially in the resume department. Adjusting game plans to defenses and game situations would earn him more credit than his highly variable approach that produces flashy numbers but not enough wins against better defenses.
