If you like wide open games like the Broncos you'll love Linehan

From what I've been watching on NFL Rewind (pretty good deal for $40.00) if you loved the wide open attack that we saw against Denver, that's the norm with Linehan.

He LOVES the empty sets and is very creative with how he gets his backs involved in the passing game.

For those that say it's still Garretts offense, the sets are very similar if not identical. Also remember that Linehan chose Dallas over what is considered to be the best run organization in the NFL in the Ravens. Linehan wouldn't come here if he wasn't promised some authority in what's run, especially considering the uncertainty of the staff's status after this year.

He also has showed a propensity for running the ball when up with under 6 minutes to go. Where as Garrett struggled at times in trying to straddle the fence in being balanced, even in the routes, Linehan doesn't seem to have an identity crisis. His offense will attack, attack, attack. If the OL gives Romo time, and doesn't commit penalties, it will be fun to watch.

The one concern I have is with all the empty sets if Doug Free or Bernardeau struggle in pass protection, Romo won't last long. That's why I'd be in favor of an OL at 16/17 if and ONLY if he's the BPA there.

Well I dislike this hire even more after reading this thread. I would like a balanced offense maybe even a little run heavy O.

One of the few clowns..err coaches in the league that loves passing more than the clown...err coach we have.

The Lions ran 40% of the time, whereas we only ran 33%. The Lions also relied a TON on screens, to the point where their RBs were targeted on 50% of the plays had nearly 3k yards from the line of scrimmage. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry, it wasnt the MOST. But he has a history of being ridiculously pass happy. One season means nothing in the grand scheme of things and the analysis of last season being nothing at all special has already been done to death this week.

If we can use Beasley and Witten to set pic plays for Dez I'll be excited. If we can use DeMarco the way they used Bush, I'm Excited. If we can convert more 3rd downs like the Lions did, I'm excited. Overall, I think this will end up being a good move. If even for only one year. Anything is better than Bill Callahan...

DeMarco Murray will have nearly 2000 all purpose yards next year in a Linehan/Garrett offense.

I predict, before the draft, free agency, and all of that (i.e. take this with a grain of salt), the following:

D. Murray: 1200 yards rushing, 700 yards receiving, 15 total TDs.

Where did you get your stats from? I read on here that we ran more than Detroit did the past three years percentage wise

Mike Fisher and Albert Breer

Did not see that. I guess he knew he was coming to dallas before it was reported we were interested in him. Ravens announced the kubiac hire before the reports came out we were interested him. Not saying it isn't true just the 1st I've heard it

Average Detroit passing attempts/game by season under Linehan


2013: 39.6 (5th in the league)
2012: 46.2 (1st)
2011: 41.7 (2nd)
2010: 39.6 (3rd)
2009: 36.6 (6th)


One time out of the top 5. Ha ha ha. Keep dreaming about the running game folks.


PS.

Callahan outscored him this season.

Ha ha ha.

We can throw 50 times per game and it will have to be better then JG and his "no feel" play calling.

I like both moves, but the HC is a stooge, and the crowded coaching staff is ridiculous.

It's the typical Jerry routine, don't believe in the coach, so you surround him with every expert you can.

What's funny is when you take away Wes Phillips, JG has probably the least experience of the staff. Let that marinate.

How about we have him play 16 games and go from there?
