Garrett from MMQB

[CyberB0b]

Awesome offense.

Dreadful defense.

That's what 8-8 looks like.

The offense isn't always awesome. I can think of two years where it was, and one, Garrett was only the OC.

 

[Idgit]

I don't believe I said the defense was good.

Then you're missing out on the fact that the offense actually has been. Under Romo.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Nice that Peter King has finally wrote something that most Cowboys have known for the last few years. Hope nobody here is acting like this is new info.

 

[erod]

The offense isn't always awesome. I can think of two years where it was, and one, Garrett was only the OC.

This team, for a long time, relied way too heavily on Romo's Jedi mind tricks.

Now there's a REAL offensive line finally. Hopefully, they didn't beat Romo up to much to take advantage in the end.

 

[erod]

TO played a handful of snaps a game from the slot. Crayton was almost strictly a slot guy unless there was injury or someone came off the field. Not good examples at all.

Even still, like I said and you ignored, if that was the case with Dez, why did the team shell out all that $?

After 2014, what choice did Jerry have? Can you imagine if he didn't? People were screaming around here.

That's one signing I'll never blame Jerry for, no matter how it turns out. There was no choice.

They've been inconsistent. Did you even bother to read what I said, or are you just looking for someone to argue with cause you're having a bad monday?

That's probably right.

Dez is obviously not what I would call a student of the game, but I won't sit here and say Dez is the reason they're not creative on offense though. They're not creative with anyone. They've been telling us for how long now that they're going to use two TE's and how has that worked out? Even with Dez out, they made no adjustments to the a floundering offense. They didn't move Williams. They ignored Beasley for half the season. Screens? Nah!

It's an archaic offensive system that relies on the competitiveness and inventiveness of Romo on the field.

This is something you and I can definitely agree on--as well as the majority of Cowboy's fan I'd wager.

He provides structure throughout the week.

He is one of the worst strategic coaches I've ever seen and offers nothing to the team on gameday.

stats would say he's 100% average. if he was the worst our record would indicate that. it's only indicating that we're average so if you're to ERGO that to a rational conclusion, his record would indicate he is average, far from the worst. unless being .500 is the worst job in the NFL in the last 5 years.

 

[Idgit]

I saw what you said. It's just wrong. On a points/offensive series basis relative to the rest of the league, under Romo, we've been a good offense consistently. While on defense, we were really awful for a while and improved to middling.

My Monday's going great. I hope yours is, too.

He has a elite QB.


So pretty much anyone could coach the team and get average when you have an elite QB.

 

[NEODOG]

I, like many here on the zone, believe the Jerry thinks of Garrett as one of his home grown kids.
Stephen likes him too and he seems to fit into the family. Garrett has been a .500 coach and
he has to break that mold this year or Jerry will look for someone else. Now, you have to
also remember that Landry has some bad years his first few as the Cowboys head coach all
those years ago. Maybe Garrett will improve, we hope, but I will say that Garrett is not the
innovator that Landry was... No way, no how!!!

Did you just stick up for Garrett by comparing him to Landry?

Wholly fiddlesticks

Not one bit. Landry and Garrett each had their troubled seasons and Landry was given wide latitude in those
early losing years.

I wouldn't call it archaic as much as it's too dependent on Romo's reads at the line of scrimmage. There's not but 4-5 quarterbacks in the league that can do it like him.

Weeden, Cassel, Orton couldn't. I thought Moore actually showed more promise in that regard.

Son, Garrett can't carry Landry jockstrap

Landry lost early because of expansion.....

Garrett has lost because of ineptitude..... Smart man, he tries to emulate Landry's ways.

We still rely more on magic than actual strategy.

 

[Kaiser]

Romo is an elite QB and Garrett's record is 15-5 over the last two years when Romo plays.

Res Ipsa Shoulder Injury.

 

[CATCH17]

Res Ipsa Shoulder Injury.

And what is his record without him?

I bet Romo could win no problem with other coaches and at least do as well as he has done.

Garrett.. I'm not even sure if he could hold a NFL job.

 

[erod]

We still rely more on magic than actual strategy.

So Murray's 1,800 yards were magic?

I think Dallas relies on balance, but that requires Romo to have it.
