I changed my mind on Linehan

[Keithfansince5]

What if I told you my first name is Keith?

Changes things, doesn't it?

Well, Keith is a cool name so you got that going for ya. Not sure about it changing anything though. Was it supposed too?

 

[waving monkey]

Linehan sucks, Dak sucks, wideouts suck, offense sucks, Garrett sucks, JJ sucks, they suck, you suck, we suck.

That should about cover it.

good job

 

[CATCH17]

Linehan is awful but Dak had some opportunities and he didn’t see the field well at all.

The Atlanta and Seattle game still happened last year and those games should’ve got the entire staff fired.

Any plan that doesn't involve your best player more involved is a failure. Why is the focal point Dak and substandard TEs and average WRs and not on one of the best RBs in the NFL. There's no question that Dak has to play better, but how about getting the ball in Zeke's hands. What happened to trying to get Tavon, the fastest guy on the field, some touches? No doubt, Dak is a big part of the problem, but the coaching staff's plan was flawed to begin with. The coaching staff did a poor job of getting our playmakers involved. Instead of getting Zeke or Tavon touches, we relied on getting the ball to our jag TEs and WRs. Dak is a problem but the gameplan and playcalling, OL play, execution were all problems. There were multiple problems and while the QB is the most visible, every offensive player and coach had a hand in making that pile of shinola.

I am guessing you didn't watch the vid? Had we had a competant QB, Jarwin would have gone over 100 with a couple TD's. No one would be calling him a jag.

Linehan does have a tendency to get away from the run. Zeke should never have 15 carries in a game that's not decided until the end and he was healthy throughout. Too much empty backfield. He gets too cute and needs to do a better job at recognizing what he has to work with. Play to our strength. Not rely on our weakness. We're not New Orleans or Green Bay. We can't sling the ball all over the field. Okay, you stopped our run for 2 quarters but can you stop it for 4? The game was close enough to stay committed to it.

But most of the criticism of him really is due to the QB who makes him look bad. It's like why all our receivers suck the last couple of years. The QB, first and foremost. We lack talent at WR but this QB downgrades the group as well.

It seems people are finally coming to grips with it. Consider yourselves sucked.

I'll be mailing you all my pinky ring. Kiss it and mail it back.

After watching a video from AKOYE Media, demonstrating just how bad Dak is, and just how open our receivers where, I changed my mind on Linehan.

Folks, we have a problem here. Dak is costing us games. His fear and inability to throw the ball, it is crushing this team. This loss falls squarely on Dak.

Dak routinely ONLY looks at one half of the field. Guys are running wide open and Dak isn't even looking. It takes him too long to process this info for him to pull the trigger. Often times he creates a sack when in fact he had a receiver wide open.

Not sure how Dak recovers from this. He simply is not throwing to guys who are open for 10-20 yards. He literally had 2 EASY TD's sitting there that he muffed. One was a 60+ yarder to Jarwin the other a 50+ yarder to TWill. Dang.

Watch this expose on Dak. Be prepared to be sick.

Akoye does a good job evaluating some positions, but it’s hard to evaluate QB’s. We don’t know if the receivers were exactly where they were supposed to be or if they ran the route correctly. The timing seemed to be off between the QB’s and the receivers, and the communication was off between the offensive linemen. Sitting Dak and most of the OL for the week 3 preseason game contributed to the sloppy play. The team also misses the on field leadership for Jason Witten and Travis Frederick. The coaching staff and the players will have until Sunday to fix it.

Sometimes it takes me a bit longer to see things, but I always get there eventually.

A lot of getting Zeke the ball is checkdowns. For example, Murray had 57 catches in 2014. Zeke has 61 for his career. They didn't run 57 screens to Murray. But the checkdown is the final read in the progression and it looks like Dak isn't getting through his progressions.

Well, that's part of the issue I've been bringing up. Instead of Zeke being just the checkdown guy, why isn't he being targeted on quick flare, shallow drags or wheel routes? He's our best player and his passing game duties are last read emergency dump off guy? Just because he's listed as a running back doesn't mean he can't catch the ball too. What was the point in drafting him 4th overall, if they're not going to use him? What are we saving him for......his next team?

 

[exciter]

Linehan sucks, Dak sucks, wideouts suck, offense sucks, Garrett sucks, JJ sucks, they suck, you suck, we suck.

That should about cover it.

You forgot asparagus and broccoli!

Got mad love for broccoli.

Zeke getting only 15 touches is a fail on the coaching staff. This offense should revolve around getting Zeke the ball, whether running or catching. 15 touches to far and away our best player is terrible coaching.

You can't put that all on the coaches when the offensive line has 4 penalties in the first 20 plays and Dak only converts on 2 third downs all game.

How are you suppose to run the ball when it is 1 and 20 and you are not putting together any drives?

And your QB ain't pulling the trigger on wide open guys and if he does, misses them badly!

He had some designed throws. He saved an interception on the one that was behind him. But complaining about him being a checkdown doesn't make sense. The RB is pretty much the checkdown on every pass if he doesn't have to stay in and protect.

In 2014 there were several times the QB who cannot be named saw that the defense had his downfield options covered and he hit Murray quickly as the checkdown. Don't knock the checkdown-

Nope, just smelling it within 20 feet elicits a gag reflex!

I've watched the breakdowns and there was more than just the QB that had problems. Linehan is no way absolved of the failures from his unit. Even if Jarwin catches that ball, he's still a jag, he was open due to a defensive breakdown, not because of his own ability. Dak played poorly, but we can't pretend there weren't other issues. Poor QB magnifies the problems and there were other problems throughout the day across the board.

Linehan is an idiot who can’t coach

Or he was schemed open. How did the defense break down? What coverage were they in?
