[RainMan]

I don't know enough Xs and Os to know what kind of adjustments Garrett should have made today. I know about chipping with a back, leaving a tight end to block, running shorter routes -- screens, even -- to counter act the ferocious rush. But I don't really know what option we should have taken when we have a four-man jailbreak coming at Romo play after play.

I'm still too 'hot' after the loss to probably make a rationale statement on what I think of our coaches. I thought Wade's D did pretty good today -- some of those Rice touchdowns were sick; great coverage, just a better offensive play made. What do you do? Four (or however many) turnovers didn't help.

Offensively, there was obviously much more to moan about. This one had the 'feel' of the Green Bay, Denver, etc. losses. It was a game where our offense was getting beat and had no answer. Frustrating.

I liked what we could do as a 'front-runner' (getting up early on a team), but ultimately dislike that we had no answer when we couldn't get a sizeable lead early. Whose fault is that? Garrett's? Is it fixable?

 

[EPL0c0]

As good as Garrett had been doing the last few weeks, he was just as bad today.

It seemed the offense made NO adjustments to the pressure being shown by the Vikings.

Alot of the blame should be shouldered on Jason Garrett. If they replace him this year I'd be very happy.

This isn't the first time that our Oline got demolished. It happened against the Giants in 2007. It also happened against Denver and Green Bay this year. All the Vikings had to do was watch film against Denver and Green Bay. Then make sure the Dline isn't fooled by our bread and butter run play which is the delayed draw.

Garrett never changed his play calling. He kept doing those delayed draws. He also kept putting Barber in there when Jones was slicing up the D. And the worst part is why are we pitching the ball out to Barber on the outside?

I can't also imagine why we weren't using alot of quick passes and 3 step drops or even call a screen to Felix?

Garrett is very much overrated. He garnishes alot of praise because he has Romo. But put him in another offense he you will see how lousy of a off coordinator he really is.

He never adjusts, never changes his playcalilng. You want proof? Rewatch this years Denver and Green bay game. Its the same exact blueprint that the Vikings used against us.

I think the way to beat the Dallas offense is to smack the o-line in the nose from the get go and they will fold more often than not.They are not mentally tough enough to overcome a physical/mentally prepared d-line.I also think the mentality of this team is a reflection of Wade and the dog's bark is way bigger than it's bite.

Replace Jason Garrett with WHO exactly???? And would this new OC be coming in w/a top 5 offense?

JG came in with a top five offense.

PLAYACTION to Felix on 1st and 10 at 11:50 of 1st quarter.

Swing pass to Felix on 1st and 10 at 8:15 of 1st quarter. Not a screen, but it got a back involved out in a pass play. And it was for a 1st down.

SLANT to Austin on 3rd and 9 at 6:30 of 1st quarter. Pass tipped by Witten, but caught by Austin, and intended for Austin.

PLAYACTION to Barber on 1st and 10 at 2:03 of 1st quarter, AND they set up a backside SCREEN to Bennett that was thrown at his feet... Bennett was covered.

Austin ran a SLANT stop route on 2nd and Goal at 12:54 of the 2nd quarter. Romo sacked before he got the ball out.

The play where Allen sacked Romo and forced the fumble was a DRAWACTION play on 2nd and 11 at 6:35 of the 2nd quarter.

At this point, down 17-3, Fox shows a graphic that on 17 Romo dropbacks, he had been sacked 3 times and hit 8 times.

SLANT to Austin on 3rd and 3 at 2:00 of the 2nd quarter. The DL over Colombo jumped offsides, Gurode didn't snap it, Romo throws high. Austin got his hands on it, but was in the middle of 4 guys.

Swing pass to Felix on 1st and 10 at 2:30 of the 3rd quarter. Makes 4 yards out of nothing.

And you've already acknowledged the SCREEN to Felix in the 4th quarter. Not real sure if you're talking about the one at 13:30 of the quarter on 1st and 10 that drew the ineligible down field flag. But there it is.

What do I win?

You win nothing and you will like it. I will have to rewatch to see how many of those slants were check with me's at the los.

Sorry, I want to do more than look at the nfl gamecast.

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

ive been saying this since last season

garrett is the biggest problem. wade has the d moving in theright direction

but everyone wanted to jump back on the garrett bandwagon after a few good weeks

forget his prior failures and questionable calls right?

he is one of the worse in the league when he is forced to make adjustments

 

[vaquerosdedallas]

First of all, Garrett did not even realize that the best receiver on our team is Miles Austin until Roy Williams got hurt and Autin was given the opportunity to start. DUH! He had all of pre-season to evaluate Autin and he still could not recognize that Austin is the best receiver that we have.

Now he seems unaware that Felix Jones is our best running back! He starts Barber despite the fact that Barber has shown nothing for some time. Jones should have been the starter today and the game plan should have been built around Jones running the ball to set up the play action pass.

Let us get another OC. Garrett is not the answer.

Second That. But i guess we are just overreacting things that are two and three year trends.

I disagree

Not sure what he was supposed to do with absolutly no OL support.

I also dont think Wade should go. Defense did all they could given the support they had.

maybe plays that dont require 5 step drops? how using the aggressiveness of the ends against them, by running through the gap on some obvious pass downs? did we run one quick slant or bubble screen to a wideout today?
how about getting felix out of the back field and into a pass play? we did nothing to make them think twice about going up field on our OT's. how about moving the pocket on a roll out a play or two? just something else besides, 5 step drop, pressure and sack. how about freakin benching barber who had NOTHING. and *** was that wildcat crap again on 1st and goal?!?!?!!!?!!? i did face palm when they lined up in that formation because I knew it was gonna fail.

PLAYACTION to Felix on 1st and 10 at 11:50 of 1st quarter.

Swing pass to Felix on 1st and 10 at 8:15 of 1st quarter. Not a screen, but it got a back involved out in a pass play. And it was for a 1st down.

Both of these worked, as well. The swing pass to Felix went for 9. I don't think we ever ran another swing pass to the left again.

The playaction worked, but Tony freaked out. The linebackers froze. He had pressure from behind, but had room to step up. This is the one where he should have, at a minimum, ran for 5+ yards, but decided to throw it into the back of a lineman. Do we run a playaction again after that?

SLANT to Austin on 3rd and 9 at 6:30 of 1st quarter. Pass tipped by Witten, but caught by Austin, and intended for Austin.

That's not a slant.

PLAYACTION to Barber on 1st and 10 at 2:03 of 1st quarter, AND they set up a backside SCREEN to Bennett that was thrown at his feet... Bennett was covered.

This wasn't intended to be a playaction, I don't think. Barber didn't seem to think so. Romo had to run way out to get even close to him. The left side of the line was blocking like it was a screen to the left, so who knows what was going on there.

Lack of cohesiveness/coordination is a common theme with Jason Garrett units.

Austin ran a SLANT stop route on 2nd and Goal at 12:54 of the 2nd quarter. Romo sacked before he got the ball out.

That's not really a slant either. More like a short curl route.

The play where Allen sacked Romo and forced the fumble was a DRAWACTION play on 2nd and 11 at 6:35 of the 2nd quarter.

That was beyond stupid. If they ever run that play again, they should be shot. A draw is a fake pass, then run. A "drawaction" is a fake pass, then fake run, then pass. What happens there? Your QB gets sacked.

SLANT to Austin on 3rd and 3 at 2:00 of the 2nd quarter. The DL over Colombo jumped offsides, Gurode didn't snap it, Romo throws high. Austin got his hands on it, but was in the middle of 4 guys.

I pointed out earlier in the thread, this isn't a slant.

Swing pass to Felix on 1st and 10 at 2:30 of the 3rd quarter. Makes 4 yards out of nothing.

This is why it needs to be run more often.

And you've already acknowledged the SCREEN to Felix in the 4th quarter. Not real sure if you're talking about the one at 13:30 of the quarter on 1st and 10 that drew the ineligible down field flag. But there it is.

What do I win?

Nothing, because you haven't helped your cause.

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

Did anyone actually SEE Colombo out there? He was worthless!! I would have rather had friggin Solomon Page out there. Witten at RT would have been better.

well garrett tried him at LT againgst jared allen

maybe if garrett put him there he wouldve done better

brilliant call jason

 

[Doomsday]

Replace Jason Garrett with WHO exactly???? And would this new OC be coming in w/a top 5 offense?

Top 5 in yards 14th in scoring offense. With the weapons and QB Dallas has there is no reason for this team to be ranked out side the top 10 in scoring offense if not top 5. We need an experienced OC that has a better feel for the flow of the game.

 

[crazytown41]

7 points against the Packers. 7 points against the Deadskins. 17 against the Dolts. And now 3.

Get this bum outta here. He's had enough chances here.

 

[dfense]

Gotta go. Let Wade pick his OC, one that actually knows how to call an offense.

This guy's an idiot. Doesn't deserve to be in the NFL coaching.

#2 offense in the league. Glad you're not making the knee-jerk decisions.

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

His playin calling on the opponents side of the field is awful at times. He gets way too cute and it ends up putting the team in bad downs and distance. He is the main reason we move the ball up and down the field and cant score. Some times simple is better.

At times? Dallas was the WORST red-zone team in the league - not just playoffs, but the WHOLE LEAGUE! All other offensive coordinators in the NFL do much more with much less, unlike Garrett who does much less with much more.

This was the kind of game where we needed the offensive coordinator to get crafty with the weapons he has -Some misdirection screens, slants, and even moving the pocket to force the rush sideways, would have been nice. Rolling Romo out of the pocket, where he's most dangerous, would have been nice. Taking afew s hots downfield (we took NONE!), just to keep them honest, would have been nice. Sone second-half adjusting would've been nice.

But once again, we saw NONE of that. Garrett just stubbournly stuck to a flawed game plan all game long. This was the one thing - the ONLY thing - I entered this game most worried about, and once again Garrett proved why I should have been worried. I suppose I should not be surprised. Until this jammoke gets the boot this team isn't going anywhere.
