Jason Garret is terrible

[stilltheguru]

Garrett, Romo and Roy. Just, wow. This is what yall wanted though. Enjoy

 

[Cochese]

he is a joke. period. end of story. anyone want to quote stats at me about how good he is right now? i diddnt think so.

This is one of the most cliche quotes ever but "players play and coaches coach". I had no problem with the coaching today. Garrett can't catch footballs or block for our backs or throw with accuracy.

What was the alternative? Norv Turner, Aikman and Irvin?

How are we going to Sam Hurd covered by Champ Bailey twice in a row with the game on the line? How?

Why is Sam Hurd even in the game? Is Sam a better player than Martellus Bennett?

Why aren't we throwing the ball to our potential HOF TE instead of our #4 WR?

Argh. Incredibly frustrating.

Agree. Apparently we were shut down but a junior varsity high school team. Don't give the defense ANY credit. Apparently we are supposed to be the second coming of the greatest show on turf.

cause garrett thinks he is outsmarting someone by doing that.. "yes they will never expect me to go right back to sam hurd Vs. champ bailey.. hahaha im a genius!!" "i wonder if there is some reason they wouldn't expect that.. oh well allready called the play.. if anything goes wrong the world will blame tony romo anyhow.."

There were other receivers out running patterns, and one of them was open.

I can't imagine that Garrett told Romo to stare down Hurd and not look at his other receivers on both plays.

 

[sbuscha]

I was being sarcastic. I just know a lot of the "upper hierarchy" on this board are fond of him and want him as our next HC.

He might be someday.....but it won't be for us. The team won't listen to him. If they did...they already would!

SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!!! PLEASE???

8 rushes in the second half, the ginger is a genius.

From what Witten said in his post game interview, there was just a two man route; Hurd and Austin, on both of the last plays. The RB's and TE's were kept in to pass protect, again, according to Witten.

So there you have it. The genius coordinator only had two receivers running routes on the games most important plays with the game on the line, and those two receivers are #3 and #4 on the depth chart (actually lower than that when you count the RB's and TE's as receivers).

How is that possible? I mean, seriously... How?

Well, Crayton was running a route on both plays as well. On the first one he might have very well been running a "pick" route, but the second play he was visibly running a slant.

And to play devil's advocate: If we send four receivers out on routes and Romo gets hammered for a game-losing sack, are we not crying that genius Red Ball should have left someone in to block?

genius red ball emptied the backfield on romos blind side fumble.

Our running game kept getting stuffed or penalized in the second half.

First-and-10 at Denver's 16, Choice loses 1 yard.

Second-and-9 at our 31, Choice gains only 2, leaving third-and-long.

Choice runs for 17, called back for holding, leaving second-and-13.

First-and-10 at our 47, Choice loses 2 yards, leaving second-and-12.


It's pretty difficult to keep running the ball when you're facing second-and-11, second-and-12 and second-and-13 because your running game is not working. Sure, you could run it again, but then you'd probably be facing third-and-long anyway.

My gripe was that our best available receiver (Witten) was not out there to catch the ball.

There were three receivers running routes.

Like I said, just posting what the play was according to Witten.

It's not so much the number of people running routes, but who was running them.

Or, more accurately, who was not running them.

That's how I remember it too. The offense as a whole wasn't really executing, and that includes the running game.

I do wonder, why wasn't Barber in the game more in the second half. Did he re-aggravate that quad muscle?
