The problem with Garrett is his stubbornness. It seems that he will stick to the same gameplan with every team that we've played. Whether it be a bad defense or a good defense that we play against, it seems Garrett never changes his playcalling. He can and should have adjusted on all those games that we lost. But his refusal to do so is what ultimately made this offense sputter down the stretch.
Garrett should have known that whatever took place in Minnesota was gonna happen. The same way we lost to the Vikings was the same way we lost to the Giants, Green bay, and Denver. There was a pattern to those losses and yet Garrett stubbornly stuck with the same gameplan which netted the same results -- a lost.
This is the problem with Garrett and he really needs to learn how to scrap a gameplan when its not working. We don't have Aikman and Emmitt and he seems to call plays as though as we do.
His entire philosophy needs to change. If Romo is on a hotstreak passing the ball, continue with that momentum. Let him pass it. Don't put in Tashard in wildcat formation. It just ruins that momentum.
There is alot that Garrett needs to do. He is far from perfect. Thus this is why I disagree with some of what the article says. Garrett to me is not gutsy and not as creative as Peyton. Peyton has a feel for the game. He knows how to milk the momentum over and over until the opposing team can stop them. Garrett on the other hand, doesn't know the true value of momentum. He stubbornly sticks with a gameplan no matter if it kills us. That why i doubt that Garrett will make a great coach. Unless I see that he changes his entire offensive philosophy, I won't be eating crow any time soon.
