Have the Cowboys eliminated their 'tells'?

[jrumann59]

I think how all the QBs of this team felt that last 10 years when it came to the playbook.

This is still a big question for me. Have the Cowboys identified and eliminated the tells that allowed the Rams to run all over them and eliminate them from the playoffs?

Do they know now what the Rams knew then?

Is this huge liability now eliminated from hurting the team again in 2019?

I've tried to search for something on this topic but all I've found is Jerry half-acknowledging the embarrassingly obvious and Garrett trying not to admit it at all.

How will you know the answer until you see them play?

I mean you might be able to find something that says they realize the tells and have changed it but frankly until you see it for yourself who would you really know.

We have seen in the past where they would (prior to dak) get too pass happy and abandon the run, face criticism for it, change it for one game and then go back to the same thing a game or too later.
So they knew there was an issue, corrected it, only to go back to what they were comfortable with.

So...we have heard Jerry say he wanted more innovation and newness to the offense....the only way we know if that will happen is when we see them play.

So predictability is a good thing?

Did anyone say it was?

Go ahead and try to “execute” when your opponent knows exactly what you’re trying to “execute”.

Yeah because teams want to let you know so you can correct your mistakes?

That's why it was players giving out those trade secrets and nit the coaches or scouts that actually found them.

I make no excuses Dallas got beat. I expect to see this defensive to continue to improve and have full faith in our defensive coaches.

My faith is lacking in our defensive line coach. His Rushmen continue to disappoint. And the game passes everyone by eventually.

That's what you're comments are suggesting. Intentionally or unintentionally, that's what you're saying.

I can't help how you feel. Nor do I have any intent on trying.

I'd feel better if somebody said something about them being fixed, even if it was one of the "insiders" from one of their radio shows. I'd feel better if someone said they realized what they were doing wrong and actually fixed it.

We have seen in the past where they would (prior to dak) get too pass happy and abandon the run, face criticism for it, change it for one game and then go back to the same thing a game or too later.

Very true. But I'm hoping that tendency left town when Linehan did. Fingers crossed.

So...we have heard Jerry say he wanted more innovation and newness to the offense....the only way we know if that will happen is when we see them play.

Ultimately, yes, but I'd like to hear more word on what ultimately got us eliminated from the playoffs. For me it's the elephant that's still in the room.

Who remembers the year before in Denver???/ Anyone. yeah that game, the one we made the schmuck QB what's his name look like the 2nd coming of Tom the goat Brady. What was so different here, except clapper had an added HOUR to adjust to what Denver was doing.... and FAILED. Ram's game not so different, other then clapper could have made changes at the half to 1 up McVay, get with his D coaches and tell them to stop doing what they were doing, cause it wasn't working except to make us look like a pre K defense. Doesn't matter that clap knew or didn't know they had our defense's pre snap stances, what mattered was how enept clap is at adjusting to ANY thing during a game. We could have won in LA, I still believe that, we were moving the ball on them on offense, but if you can't stop them on D, your done. No chance to even get even if they score every possession. It's my bet, even with them coming out and declaring they knew, that clapper will do a damn thing about it. Let's just hope our 1st pick at 58, is a Dlineman, and a good one... that happens I'll banter a guess they took it serious.
