Five Jason Garrett myths

[Rampage]

just a coach homers look even more foolish when they post drivel like this before the team reverts to "terribly coached" mode on the road.

ginger called a good game right? lol he abandoned the run after the 1st series and cost us this game

No we kept getting ******* penalties when we make big plays that lost us the game.

Some of that was just bad officiating.

Being an offensive coordinator has gotta be tough.

They only get 40 seconds to call a play while thinking of the situation (down and distance), the defense's tendecies, what formation he should call, and what personnel he should have in the game.

JG has done pretty awesome so far, I don't see how anyone can complain.

Wel put JBell. It's so easy for the complainers---who all know better.

Yeah, it missed the boat on the "running myth" and the whole myth about audibles is not really a myth.

It absolutely IS a myth with fans who can't add 2 + 2.

When an audible is called---Jason is no longer the play caller. And if you think most fans have connected the dots on this--------------you are flat wrong.

Accd to them...every play is Jason's fault.

Aren't we all agenda driven posters? Otherwise no one would post and there would be only white noise.

EXACTLY!

We were averaging 2 yards a carry and playing from behind. Find me one (1!) offensive coordinator who doesn't do the same thing.

Find me ONE!!!!

romo was under pressure all day...calling constant 7 step drops? that's tantamount to insanity. garrett's adjustments? almost non-existent.

i wonder what made romo believe that any offensive line could give him 8 seconds back there, though...

Garrett sucks.

He's bailed out more by players, Romo, Miles, Choice, etc. than anything he comes up with.

He has no sense of game management. It's all big play, pass happy all the time.

You can count the times on one finger or two how many times he's called three runs in a row, but count the number of miles to the moon he's done the opposite with the pass.

I am weary of posters failing to appreciate how the NFL works. There was yet another post in the past few days saying "Garrett isn't getting the ball enough to Witten in the red zone." Or "Garret needs to run the ball 40 times a game" These are examples of pure NFL ignorance.

Myth 1. Jason is calling all the plays.

In today's NFL when you come to line of the scrimmage there are many, many times when the play gets CHANGED at the line of scrimmage. This happens perhaps even more often with Romo. The play is changed BASED on the quarterbacks' read at the line of scrimmage.

Nowadays the DEFENSE dictates where plays are going to go. Ask a pro football expert and they will tell you: if a defense wants to take away one or two things that your offense wants to do------ANY NFL defense can do that. Today's NFL is a spontaneous chess match where offenses have to find the best opening left open by the defense on that particular play. And then it changes the next play.

Myth 2: Jason--or any coordinator--determines where a QB throws the ball.
Quarterbacks have up to 5 targets on a play. The coordinator doesn't decide which of those targets a QB throws. Yes there are primary targets but that doesn't always mean a whole lot. It's the quarterback's decision and again this often goes back to what defense is being played and the QB's last second read at the line of scrimmage of the defensive scheme and matches/mismatches.

Myth 3: You win NFL games by running the ball. No you don't. Look at the numbers and you'll see that the top teams pass the ball 60/40 and sometimes even 70/30 of the time. There is no such thing as a top team without an elite quarterback.

Who are the top running team in the NFL? Jets, Titans, Panthers and Dolphins? Bottom Dwellers!!!!! Who are the top ranked passing teams? Saints and Indy--both at 8-0. Also the Pats and Steelers. The two undefeated teams have almost no running games!!!

Myth 4: Jason Garrett is not football smart.
The posters who say this couldn't coach a pop warner football team. You have simply nooooo idea how sophisticated NFL offenses are and how good Garrett is.

Look at the results people!!! In 2 out of 3 seasons Garrett's has his offense in the top 3 of the rankings. That people is scary good. Elite.

Myth 5: Jason Garrett needs to do X, Y or Z more .
No he doesn't. He needs to do exactly what he's doing right now.

Myth Busters just called, they wanna talk to ya son....



Why we didn't try to establish a run game in the 1st 3 Quarters when it was close is why we continue to fizzle out against good teams. Eventually the pass happy Madden crowd will figure that out but will Garrett???

You didn't understand what I was saying. Its not a myth because I don't think many people are actually pushing that idea, if any at all.

Everyone knows about audibles.

Yes, these could be myths. But the same co-ordinator wont call a sure running play on 1st down from one yard line, which could have given us 7 points, instead of Romo interception against GB. May be it was Romo's call. Both needs to be blamed , high percentage plays needed to be executed and not stupid (staring down Witten and throwing behind him )

I am sick of this !

 

[The30YardSlant]

Five facts about Jason Garrett:

1: He refuses to stick with the running game, even when it is working

2: He always looks for the big play, even when it is clearly not there

3: He hasnt made a single successful in-game adjustment in 3 years. Not one.

4: His play selection is downright mornic. A functionally retarde chimpanzee would have more success by randomly picking plays. It's almost like he TRIES to hold our offense back.

5: He's a ginger, which means he is not to be trusted

weren't we in shotgum formation on the goalline? should've been in goaline and handed off to Barber since he doesn't use felic or tashard anymore

One reason to go pass in that situation on the goal line is clock management.If you run and don't make it you burn alot more time than by trying to pass the ball.If the ball is placed out in front of Witten you have 6 points instead of a pick.

Why would we go 3-step drops when none of our passing routes are short enough? On the 'fumble' by Felix, it was 2-deep safeties, and a blitz from the outside.
