Jason Garrett thread

[Jimz31]

The bottom line is that we had 4 out of 5 guys being Petitti Jr. out there. Free was busy taking care of Allen when he came into the game.

Columbo was surprisingly Petitti like today.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

Free was blocking someone else. He wasn't even facing the right direction -- at least, that's my recollection, which, admittedly, is probably tainted by emotion right now.

Emotional? Emotional? I'm homicidal right now... I want to kill Red Balls!! :laugh2:

 

[gmb85]

Our offensive line has sucked all year. This time it really bit us in the ***. Unless things change, we're always gonna fall short.

At least I'm not as depressed as last year. One playoff win, woo-hoo.

Who likes a pitch to Barber 7 yards deep after Felix was gashing left and right?

Hold your hand highs.

This is exactly what my problem is with Garrett, no flow for the game at all. We are moving it at will and he gets cute and puts them in a hole, killing the drive.

The Wildcat play was another wasted down in the Red Zone. Seemed like every time the offense had momentum JG killed it.

You're damn straight it is. When your unit isn't playing well and you're making poor coaching decisions that exacerbate that situation, it's on you.

Not sure why anyone would think otherwise, quite frankly.

What did you want him to do??? Start kneeling the ball?

The OL was abused and we never had the opportunity to stretch the field. When they shorten the field like that, you don't have many options. You can only run it up the middle so much.

The draw was stuffed all day, the tosses. The power sweep worked for a few plays, but got predictable. Screens were blown up, slants were into the teeth of a defense that was crowding the 5 yard area around the LOS, because our OL couldn't give us time to do any double moves outside.

It all starts up front. If your line can't give you the time to stretch the D, you're going to feel suffocated.

I've already answered this question.

 

[Hoofbite]

That's on Garrett?? lol.

He still was the OC for the number 2 offense in the league right. Something tells me that if he leaves it's not going to be because we fired him. But i'm sure it will be perceived that we didn't want him back bad enough if he does go.

Yardage-wise.

Really sucks that Yards don't win games. Points do and in that category Dallas 14th. MEDIOCRITY at its finest.

Like theogt said, we have quality offensive lineman.

We have SOME quality on the line. Free looks like a keeper. Biggs didn't have a great game today, but he's had a good season. Columbo had a crappy game, but he's also a proven guy.

Gurode ? Overrated. After all the years at center, his shutgun snaps are below average at best. His vision is absolutely TERRIBLE. How many times during the season have defenders cross the line of scrimage and gotten back in time without punishment ? Part of the center's job is to be aware of what's going on and snap the ball, even if it's not the count, to get 5 extra yards.

Kozier ? Done. Too bad he wasn't blessed with a 6'5, 330 lbs, body but since he wasn't, he gets manhandled on the inside. He's an adecuate back up and temp starter, but he's too weak to be a full time starter.

FLO ? this should be his last game as a Cowboy. Great contributor, borderline Ring of Honor player, thanks for the memories, but it's time to move on.

 

[Randy White]

You're full of it.

And you're huge piece of IT

The offense was inept in the redzone from week 1 to the divisional round of the playoffs.

Who does that fall on?

 

[peplaw06]

YES!!!! You make adjustments. If we're not getting blocks, you run plays to one side with extra blocking. You make the adjustments where you get protection. You put a TE and a FB to one side and you roll the play out. You don't keep dropping back 3,5,7 steps and getting killed. It was on Garrett. If you don't see that, you're not qualified to even remark about the issue.

I'm just as qualified as you to remark about the issue. And oh, hey, I know we ran at least one play with an unbalanced line that I can remember off the top of my head, and it got one yard.

 

[Rampage]

you know it's bad when Theogt is going at it about the return of Coach Tecmo!

this thread is gonna be a long one.:laugh2:

Sadly, it won't be Garrett getting skewered in the national media.

I can already sense the paragraphs upon paragraphs of unsubstantiated, unwarranted criticism that are coursing digitally through PCs and laptops across this country and that tomorrow will be unleashed in a flurry of newspaper articles and blogs against Tony Romo.

 

[ctrous25]

he didnt play o line today did he?
wish he would ve tried a few wr screens but then again I didnt see what they were doing coverage wise every play

So you make adjustments. How hard is that to understand. You game call on the fly when things get rough. You don't keep running the same plays everyone knows you run every game.

'Twas a horrible game for Garrett. This team could have hung with Minnesota, but the play calling was counter-productive from the 1st quarter to the 4th.

 

[peplaw06]

Hold your hand highs.

No doubt that play was bad. It was a checkout of another play to the wrong side. That play to the side with Edwards on Colombo was a disaster. But it had worked to the other side prior to that with Austin.

I think it was a bad secondary call. But it was a checkout by Romo.

Look there's plenty of blame to go all around after a drubbing like that. But I'm not gonna pretend it's all on Garrett. That's myopic.

QUOTE=CowboyMcCoy;3236329]Garrett = failed to make adjustments + failed to realize what was happening out there

I could see the game was going south with the play calling. It all starts with play calling.

Stevie Wonder could see more than you. " It all starts " WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE, not the " playcalling ".

Red Balls didn't get it done. Barber had no business being out there. We had no business running on some of those plays. I think your use of ignorant is truly ironic. Look in the mirror. You'll see it.

blah, blah, blah... Typical clueless 2nd guesser..

I agree, you try your best to make adjustments. I'd rather have the team flame out spectacularly because Garrett realized something had to change to counter the Vike D-line, yet he did nothing at all.

Add to that wasting 8 carries on Barber and you have to place blame on Garrett.

Had Garrett done something, anything, even if it failed, I'd still have a little respect for his ability.
