We all agree with out Dez our WRs often cannot beat DBs 1 on 1.

Why in the world do we not run more pick plays to free up our receivers like Patriots and Denver???!!!

Most Gronk's receptions against Jones came of pick plays. Put more pick plays in our playbook PLEASE.

There is a strong possibility they just don't run pick or rub plays very well. Look at screens. We can't run them effectively either, probably because they are not practiced enough.

My point exactly. We have the past three weeks to adjust....yet NOTHING! Make those WR run pick plays all day in practice....not rocket science. I don't care if you occasionally get called for offensive PI. Watch the Pat's makes me sick! Almost every pass play involves some type of pick. NFL needs to do something about this....it's out of hand.

Somebody got penalized for running a pick play early in the season. I think it was Witten that got called for it but I'm not 100% certain.

how did we win before Dez, everyone making this argument thinks our orginzation starts with Dez. People, other teams can win with their number 1 WR which might not be a 1 WR on other teams. Yet they do it.

Those teams have one of the other..... real QB or awesome RB or dominating D..... we don't have any at this moment or the last three games for sure.

That explains why the Cowboy defense is so clueless when other teams run pick plays. The defense never saw it in practice from the offense. Apparently, the pick play is collecting dust like the screen pass.

When was the last time Garrett's cowboys showed any ingenuity or creativity? I can't remember one instance. Belichek even talked about it before the game. He said the Cowboys and Garrett run the same stuff with maybe a few tweaks here and there. The Cowboys are all about execution. However, execution works when you have talent like Romo and Dez. Focusing on execution is not going to work when you are missing your main weapons. You need to think outside the box now and become creative. Unfortunately, creativity is not in Garrett's DNA.

Bellicheck said there is no need to make half time adjustments because they make adjustments IMMEDIATELY after a play all through out the game.

I think our coaches wait until after the game and maybe make adjustments for the following game.

You would think we pull out a trick play or something against NE given that we really had no shot at winning after NE went up 20-6 and our O was completely impotent. JJ would have for certain. Yet Red had no balls! When was the last time we pulled a trick play?

They run a pick play, typically with Witten and Beasley. They ran it yesterday for a third down call. It was like 3 and 8 and Witten ran a 3 yard out off the rub by Beasley…that was just a stupid call to be that short of the down and distance.

It never has been. Last year is looking like a fluke. I'm not suggesting we're supposed to be winning every game with all of our injuries, but bad coaching has cost us two very winnable games, both NFC teams.

i dont thnk thats a fair assessment unless you can break the teams down and get a fair rating. I think some teams benefit form good coaching, bu i dont think the teams have just 1 and thats good enough. Some teams have been very average and can win a game or two, we cant do that.

Pats had 2 penalties called for a pick play yet they kept using it. The big play by Edelman was a result of a pick play and that came right after Edelman was called for a pick.

We try something and get penalized then we don't see it again for a long time.

I normally wouldn't agree about implementing more pick plays because they are illegal and have been for years.

With that being said, they don't ever call it and that is what more and more teams do now to free up receivers. I see it in pretty much every game I watch.

Garrett and Marinelli certainly don't have a clue as to how to stop it so it might be too much to ask for Garrett and the offense to know how to run it.

They don't like that new-school stuff. It's all about the vintage Air Coryell offense!

Does a surprise onside kick count? That's the closest thing under Garrett I can think of. Even then, one could argue we already had the division won by the time we played washington, so was it really be risky? I don't think so.

The patriots knew they would t call another so they ran one right after the call against them. We have to implement this to get it out of the NFL.

Maybe they'll name the rule after us or one of our coaches like some of the others. Roy Williams, emmitt helmet etc. :p

Lack of ability to adapt. Bellicheat does a great job of using rules to his advantage. So what if his O gets 1-2 offensive PI a game. But more than not it's not called and it gets him several big plays and 3rd down conversions per game.

We've been a victim for several games due to pick plays. Other teams has pick up on this and will continue to use them until we defend it. NFL isn't going to crack down on it so we need to use it as well.
