Jason Garrett thread

[Tommy]

It's not knee-jerk. We have supported Garrett in the past. Theo even made a post taunting the Vikings with Garrett. But when you call a game like that, a plain stupid game throughout, it deserves the criticism. The loss is emotional, yes. But we didn't have to lose that game--not if we call a decent game on the offensive side of the ball.

Wow! And all this time Ive been fooled into thinking its important to win the battle at the line of scrimmage.

Apparently, it just takes "decent" play calling to overcome being obliterated in the trenches.

Thanks for the education!

The problem on that play was that Leonard Davis didn't hear the kill kill kill. He pulled to the left, which obviously was not the checked play. That left the D-lineman he should have blocked run free to Barber.

HFA.

We gelled a bit too late, didn't we?

 

[theogt]

So you have privy to the playbook and what the signals at the line mean?

Sweet.

See my post above. It's obvious he checked out of a run play to the left. It would have worked nicely had Davis actually ran the right play.

 

[Randy White]

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.

That was Garrett's fault because " he didn't adjust "..

 

[peplaw06]

You "know", which shows how much you don't know. Peppy, Mr. "look at me, I went to law school"... Oh, please no knee-jerking after one crucial game. How thoughtless can you be? I know one thing, you'd never represent me, peppy.

haha. That's just what I need.... an insane client. Thanks, but no.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Could be that the Vikings putting in extra time on Dallas on their bi-week actually paid off for them. They were better in this game from coaching down to the individual players.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

lol. How do you ADJUST for a worthless RT?? Do you actually move Witten over there? Put another worthless RT in there?

Move a TE and/or FB over there, lessen the # of wideouts... fake a block, then pass it....basic stuff like that. I don't expect you to be able to make a worthy analysis.

Let's just blame it on the o-line. They played poorly, but it was because the defense of the Vikings was playing so well. So you go to the Xs and Os and you make adjustments.

It's simple if, then logic. I wonder how you passed the LSAT, if you even did.

didn't matter who was OC today. The OL got dominated from start to finish. not one of the 5 played worth a damn.

that just shows lack of communication

Gurode should have signaled the audible to the rest of his mates

 

[Brooksey]

When the O-line is not playing well, there isn't ANY adjustment ANYBODY could make, period. Put down the Madden football. This isn't a video game.

Not true. It's the time when you have to call plays like a dinasour. I know it's old school and boring but there comes a time when you run straight ahead and call some screens. You have to get them to stop the pressure or pay for bringing it. When FREEZE draw doesnt work and your losing 5 yards STOP calling it.

Everyone likes the slow developing plays and the tricks when they are working including me but when they don't work against a front four like this, you have to adjust. I mean we just saw our o-line be dominated, with these play calls against this this style d-line. Garret did not give our o-line A CHANCE TO SUCCEED. He is STUBBORN.

You're hopeless. You can't use 6-7 guys to block 4 ALL DAY LONG!!! You end up with 3-4 guys in a pattern with 7 in coverage. Sounds like it would work to me!!!!!

Sweet.

Hey, I wasn't playing on the o-line today, so take it easy on me.

Would it be better if I had prefaced my post with, "If Romo actually audibled into that play when he yelled..."?

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

haha. That's just what I need.... an insane client. Thanks, but no.

Yeah, and that's what I'd need..a lawyer who stoops to ad hominem. Congratulations, you've put forth the lowest kind of argument. Even Philosophy 101 would teach you that. I have my doubts, peppy. I smell a fake.

 

[percyhoward]

Any sentence that begins with "Gurode should have..." is bound to be 100% right.

Finally. Someone gets it.

This is the difference between Garrett and someone like Payton who's been developed under an old school coach like Bill Parcells. He has the offensive killer mentality, but he also knows when to pull back and go old school when necessary.

Garrett is too stubborn, with a mentality that has a semblance of arrogance to it as well, and probably liked playing Tecmo too much.

No kiddin...

Hopefully the " education " didn't cost you any money, or else you should ask for your money back.

I go straight for the ad hominem every time, and I think I'm still a decent lawyer.

It's more fun.

So keep running the ineffective Barber? That's the answer? Answer this, could Jason Garrett have made any adjustments that would have improved our chances? Or do you think he can do no wrong?

What is it that you're defending here?
