Is it Dez or is it our offensive game plan?

its mainly coaching and scheming. this coaching staff is atrocious. they need Romo to add the rocky road to their vanilla. i hope DAK goes off in a baskin robbins despite this limited coaching staff.

Yes..we all see it.

I wonder if his Hammie is still bothering him.

It's strange.

I watch the Steelers play and they still get the ball to Antonio Brown who despite his monster season last year and must have a target a mile wide on his back..

he's still getting open and producing.

I think they do send DEZ deep a lot and DAK is looking for quick throws and to nullify the pass rush..

leaving Dez at the tail end of the receiving tree.

I think they are going to need to put him in the slot and maybe put him in motion across the formation to get him open and away from the coverage.

Dez is the type of player that needs passes thrown to him early in games..always has been that way.

But we are not doing that..Beasley and Witten are getting a lot of throws and they are middle of the field guys.

I'm certain against the Skins it will be different.

Yes, it will be different because if we know anything it's that the Cowboys are a reactionary team. They will hear the criticism of the "Weeded Game Plan" and they will open it up next week. We are just so risk averse and it kills us at times as evidenced by the Giants.

We'll be better, unfortunately, it cost us a game already.

My thing is the passing game. Dak attempted 45 passing attempts. Why? Also it was dink and dunk to Witten or Beasely. Why didn't Morris get the ball more? He was making plays and moving the offense. Why does the Witten screen get called? Honestly with more explosive guys around why is he running that play? So many things looked funky on offense. It also didn't help that Dak needs to start adding throwing from center in his bag of tricks. Its one game. Im not going to draw many conclusions. Its one game. One thing for sure is the Giants defense is better than you guys think.

Play calling and handcuffs on every QB not named Romo. Garrett needs to pull his head out of his ***....

I don't care what scheme you got if your throw it 45 times and only target your outside WRs 8 of those plays, something is wrong.

Especially if only 5 are to your $13 million super star WR

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
I had the pleasure (except for the loss) of attending my first cowboys game yesterday with my family and I just don't understand how Dez just disappears for long periods of time. I only got to see the cardinals game last night on TV and the Steelers game today and Fitz and Brown are always open even when the other team knows they are throwing to them.
Yesterday just about every play ended with Dez about 40 yards downfield all alone and us throwing a 2 yard out to Witten on third and 3. I am a huge Dez fan however several times yesterday I saw him barely jogging back to the huddle while everyone else hustled and quite a few times I'd see him signal to the sidelines to send someone in for him instead of going back to the huddle. I don't understand how he pulls himself out so much, especially on some key third downs. Is the coaching staff really sending him deep EVERY play. We didn't throw him one screen, one slant, one drag, NOTHING. so frustrating watching these other receivers on other teams play every play and constantly get open. Anyone seeing what I'm seeing?
Dez = Loser

When we run rub routes, crossing routes, and using Dez in the slot then I'll say it's Dez until then it's coaching.

70% coaching, 15% rookie QB, 15% Dez.

Football is simple, its about matchups. Pitt did it last night. They tried as much as possible to get Brown on thier worst corner. Why the Cowboys dont adhere to simple winning concepts is a big mystery.
