Garrett Has Lost Me

I was a big JG supporter from Day One. And it's not some his inexplicable individual play calls that have put me off his offensive approach.

It's the fact that he calls the run so lousy. That is, RB's talk about 'getting into a rhythm" and the amount of plays necessary for them to get that feeling. What I think that means is that the O-line gets into a rhythm. They get a feel for moving amongst themselves, and the RB gets a feel from the O-line.

Garrett seldom lts the O-line get into it's rhythm. It's pass-pass-pass or pass-run-pass but never a real commitment to the run. Which is fine when the passing game is hot, but when it's not, the whole offense is out of sync.

Bottom line: JG is just lucky he has a QB like Romo.

We're just lucky in general that we have Romo. He does make some mistakes, but he more than makes up for his and everyone else's mistakes when he's playing well.

I mean seriously, how can posters like this exist? Are we in Twilight zone and some fans get different feed of the game? Other than that Romo fumble while trying to throw end of the game, there can't be any faults to Garrett's playcalling. Even that throw, not sure it was Garrett's call to throw it, it could have been change by Romo to throw it.

I think Garrett designs some really nice plays. I'm just not real sure about his playcalling. I think it could be better. Then again, he's still a young coach and will only improve with time.

It's pretty tough to complain about the points and yards we've been putting up lately though.

Wow...


Have you ever thought that when something is working good (like passing the ball), you stick with it?

Why run just to run? If the Cowboys play a team that cannot stop the run, then they will run!

Garrett sprinkled in some genius playcalling, like the short drag, that ended up being a TD throw to Hurd, the delay screen to Felix

but his infactuation with the pass is disturbing

up until this game, he did a good job of balancing it all out, but then today he reverted to last year: "pass, pass, delayed draw, punt"

talk about Romo going off the reservation, Ginge does the same thing calling games

I'd bet your tune would be different had Romo gotten hurt cause of the ginger

Well I would like to see a little more running by him but I want you to do some checking...go see what ranking our offense is in the NFL and think things over a little more after you do.

There's absolutely no sense in coming out passing on that drive where Romo fumbled. That was just stupid.

That said, 90% of his playcalls were pretty good.

I do like how he was able to capitalize on his own odd playcalling. When we're up by multiple scores they should be taking away the short game, but because it's Garrett, he's able to call passes to Felix in the flat and TE screens that gain huge yardage.

I just don't think they're being truthful. Out of all days to complain about Garrett, and to be turned against him, THIS is the day?? That doesn't add up.

More likely, the person has been anti garrett for sometime and had to have something to complain about. God forbid we give anyone credit for a pasting of a team we should have beaten.

Edit: 36 passes, 29 rushes. 362 yards of offense, including 113 rushing yards (103 of which were from the RBs). Damn the offensive success.

whatever. throwing up by 4tds with 8 minutes left is just stupid. the bad things that can happen out-weigh the good by a lot.

It was a nice win despite Garrett's play calling but....

Romo was 12 for 23 at the half, not sure how much worse it was at the end of the game but whatever it was, if we don't start running the ball more then we can expect the same as the past two seasons when we get down the stretch...

We dominated a very weak Seahawk team, let me enjoy the win...

Yeah, I agree...at the end of that game, they should have just ran it out, or at least tried. But, I get the impression that some posters just want to moan about so much passing, especailly when it's working.

How many different recievers caught passes today?
