Greg Olsen compares the Cowboys last year to this year, his thoughts on Dak, and what needs to change. Dallas segment starts at the 26:54 mark.


Another Todd France employee one of many as when it comes to PR Todd is KING baby!!!
P.S. Plus the tone of his voice makes your brain feel like it will explode............lousy announcer!!!

Olsen watched a lot of Cowboys games last season but he didn’t watch a couple of playoff games like he said. He’s right zero running game. Jason Ferguson hasn’t made the impact he did last year. Cooks hasn’t been much of a factor and games have been thrown on Dak. The defense has been bad and we’re not getting the defensive scores we did last season, especially with Bland out.

Great analysis and perspective from Olsen.
My takeaways:
1) Greg compared the offense to a high school offense, many agree with that.
2) Greg mentioned it's hard to function during the week in Dallas, hmmm.
3) The defense isn't built to play without a lead. It certainly shows every game.
Thanks @BigCowboysHomer

The part about how the rest of the league is running more under center, not as much shotgun, etc... I guarantee that's Dak. That's what he wants because that's what he's "comfortable" with.

I will die on this hill.

And the part about how great a leader and "dude" he is... Yeah, if I never hear that again it will be too soon.

We can say a lot about Dak but him saying “I’m not comfortable” in something isn’t his MO. I wish it was but that’s not holding. He’s the company guy.

If only there were these highly piad guys on the sidelines and at practices, with strong teaching and leadership skills, who could explain to a player what's best for the team.

Die on whatever hill you'd like.

You've done zero research and have no clue what you're talking about. None.
:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Playaction is what Dak is comfortable with because Dak historically EATS off playaction. That's his most successful type of pass play, by far.

If he could line up under center, go playaction, and have the defense actually be forced to react, he'd LOVE it. That's how Jared Goff is dominating this year.

But we can't run the ball and nobody on Earth is scared of Zeke, Dowdle or any of our other trash RBs.

So playaction doesn't work for us.

When you can't run the ball OR go playaction, you pretty much have to go spread formation and hope to find success that way.

That's what Greg Olsen laid out for you as well.

But you go ahead and "die on the hill" of ignorance and thinking you know this sport better than an NFL analyst and former All-Pro TE.

Playaction doesn't work at all for us this year.

Nobody's scared of our run game.
