Garrett finally speaks on Moore promotion

[PhillyCowboysFan]

what's an ounce of gold worth?

$1318.30

JG has a lot riding on a first year playcaller. Look to see him take over playcalling if we aren’t doing well after 5 games...

$1318.30

And nobody will pay you that. But cheap and sell high. Lol.

 

[Typhus]

I realize that he has been made wealthy beyond comprehension.....but honestly, how does The Clapping Carrot live with himself? How can he have even ONE ounce of pride???

Some men don't need to have pride on accomplishments, when they have a fat stack in the bank.

Football player at Princeton doesn't make you a genius. Means you were a mediocre QB.

Garrett's wonderlic was about as high as other smart QBs. Rodgers, Romo, Goff, Stafford, Eli,... Since coaches make their living *entirely* off their brains, I'd expect them to be *smarter* than their players.

Ha ha. Just looked up the Wonderlic of our new and improved boy genius Kellen Moore - 26. Garrett 36. Maybe you were right.

This team is such a clown show. The *only* qualification they've ever pointed to with Moore is his supposed genius, yet that appears to be a complete fraud, and one publicly verified as a fraud.

Some reporter has got to ask Jerry:
You and your staff have been raving about the Kellen Moore's intelligence.
Yet his wonderlic was 26, only slightly above average versus the general population, and lower than Travis and Zeke.
Do you see Moore as smarter than they are? If so, why?

Payton Manning’s wonderlic was 28, so obviously Jason Garrett is a way smarter football man, right? Drew Brees was also a 28. Who knew these guys were so average in reading defenses and understanding coverages and calling audibles and all the other mental aspects of the position and game?

The same as an ounce of feathers.....No wait, that's a different riddle.

 

[Runwildboys]

Say what?

He's right, the playbook will probably remain mostly the same. Hopefully, Moore will add some different looks, and make it more deceptive, but it'll still be Garrett's playbook overall.

 

[Alexander]

Get outta here with that weak comment. Did you expect him to publicly rip the move or say anything to indicate he wasn't fully confident in him?

It still was pretty vague. That sounded like you asked anyone else the exact same question.

You would think he would have something particularly insightful or even different from the stock response.

But there you go.

Which is probably the wrong playbook to match with Dak's skills overall. Square peg, round hole....again.

I'm hoping Moore is really smart enough to make the necessary adjustments.

I guess it all boils down to what Garrett allows. He just stubborn enough to believe that his playbook is perfection as is.

 

[blueblood70]

But we need to understand that Garrett went to Princeton and Moore just went to Boise State. Therefore, dance, puppet, dance.

did you watch Moore who his senior year at Boise call his own plays and remember that crazy offense on the blue carpet? I wasn't even fan but those offenses he ran in college were the type we are hoping at least find few plays into our playbook with Dak and Zeke running them..they were regularly on ESPN showing the razzle dazzle..

Puppet my azz lie KM or Garett going to let the same offense and stagnate calls that got scott fired to be ran the same.. If that happens and we atart out slow again JG Moore they are all gone I predict the plan is already laid, JG/Moore gone Kris R Interim HC, Kitna Interim OC, Nuss moves up to coach all the rest, Marinelli or whomever runs defense for rest of year..bank on it starting out slow anything that smells like 2018 , changes will be made..

Why would you think that? The vast majority of answers most coaches give to media questions are very simple. It’s rare that they provide any great insight. Generally they don’t really even care about answering those kinds of questions at all, but it’s a requirement of their job. We also have to remember that not every comment by a coach is at a press conference or media session that even allows time for more detailed answers. He did, at least, answer the question of whether he or Moore would be calling plays, which was a question on a lot of people’s minds

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Have we ever seen such a concerted effort from a team to prop up a non head coach as much as we’ve seen with Moore? I feel like they are trying to talk me into this kid being the next McVay.

Maybe he is, maybe he’s not, but enough with all the propaganda. We’ll know soon enough.

 

[Runwildboys]

He'll still get the credit, even if the play was Moore's concept.
I think the timing of the plays called is the bigger issue anyway, for the most part.

There is some truth to this, but many of the comments the media is digging up to support the idea of Moore’s football IQ are coming from sources outside the organization as well.

I agree. I can’t remember who it was that said this, but somewhere over the last few weeks I saw a comment from a player or coach that said the Rams playbook isn’t that much different than the Cowboys playbook, but the Rams used more shifts and motion to disguise plays than Dallas does. Assuming this is true, tweaks here and there may be all that is needed to help with the playbook, and, of course, as you indicated, what plays are called under various circumstances can make a big difference.

 

[kevm3]

The real question is will Moore be allowed to implement his own playbook

 

[Techsass]

Depends on the feathers. There was a story a while back about some guy who stole a bunch of feathers from a museum in England. I can't quite remember if he was American, but there was some Japanese connection. Who'd a thunk feathers were worth a trip to England?

I don't doubt that Moore has his own offensive philosophy and it's possible he could be the most innovative young coach in the league, but he's got to get Garrett to let him incorporate his innovation freely instead of just tweak the existing playbook that Garrett established.

Go back and look at Scott Linehan before he came to Dallas. What he did here is not what he was doing in his other stops. Some of the scheme principles were the same because he and Garrett run variations of the same scheme, but he had to meld his play-calling with Garrett's offensive philosophy.

Garrett is an offensive coach and he's not going to just let go of the reins. He didn't do it with Linehan, who was an established play-caller, so he's certainly not going to do it with a newbie. Moore will be handcuffed unless the Joneses have mandated that he be given free reign.

I hope that I'm wrong. I don't mind Garrett as an organizational coach as long as his offensive philosophy is scrapped. We can't just line up and expect our man to beat the other team's man across the board because it is difficult to just outtalent opponents. Execution has to be matched with creativity to keep the other team off balance.

Moore may have the creativity, but Linehan also showed some in other stops that he never seemed to be allowed to use here.
