Jason Garrett

[windward]

Anybody else enjoy his enthusiasim with the players ? I love the way we used the tight end today and overall just have a really good feeling with him as OC.

 

[dmq]

Well, he has one thing going for him. He has a fan in Troy Aikman.

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

That 1st drive reminded me of the play calling from the early to mid 90's. A nice slow methodically drive. Take what the defense gives you. Mix up the play calling.

Very well done for being vanilla. Also I think the defense did decent job for not being too aggressive with a lot of blitzes. Don't want to tip our hand too early for the Giants.

And it was HOT and HUMID, I am still sweating from being out there. Or was it the Cowboys Cheerleaders made me feel that way.

The main thing I liked to see with Garrett (can we get this guy a nickname please? And 'Red Ball' or whatever is dumb as hell), was his willingness to give Romo some bootlegs and get that second TE involved. You saw it with Moore and Curtis as well.

Above all, we're going to get rid of that stodgy old playcalling and get some new, fresh ideas in there. And plus, all Garrett has to worry about is the offense. That's a nice thought.

 

[windward]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

That could be better but I am willing to cut him a little slack in the first preseason game.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I loved it.

Red looked sharp on the sidelines and the players seemed to really respond to him.

That first drive consumed almost 10 minutes as I recall. Not bad for the first pre-season snaps.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

I doubt that's the way he would call it in a real game.

 

[ndanger]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

You gotta think those are the plays they want to keep hidden for the games that count though.

 

[J-DOG]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

His play calling reminds me of Norv Turner.
And wasn't it Norv Turner that had the media and fans up in arms about his play calling in the redzone during preseason games????
They were very vanilla on offense guys...it is preseason. No reason to panic.

Who's panicking?

 

[Bizwah]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

Yes, very unimaginative.

Hopefully, we're just trying to be simple with our first game.

I noticed that we immediately went with runs up the gut. No play-action, no shots to the endzone.

Remember our last four or five PS openers? We couldn't score. Even last year we couldn't score but one TD....our offense looked fine last year. I'm looking for some improvement vs Denver.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

The first two drive went inside the 10 and we didn't make any attempt into the end zone? Not even once? Reminded me of the end of the Seattle playoff game. It's like we were afraid we were going to score a TD.

 

[J-DOG]

Who's panicking?

You watch...first it was camp cupcake...another preseason game with field goals inside the 20 and you will see the media make a mountain out of a molehill on this very subject.
They did that with the team in the 90's and it was made out to be a problem, so much so that I can remember Aikman diving for a td near the goaline against the Houston Oilers and getting knocked head over heels into the endzone and landing on his head.
Later after the game Aikman remarked he was tired of the media saying how they were having problems with thier red-zone offense and was determined to get it in the endzone.
Seeing your franchise qb landing on his head during a preseason game leaves a lasting impression.

The drama queens of the media.

Actually our redzone playcalling wasn't that great with the triplets in the 90's either. We would just run Emmitt or draw Emmitt with a dominating offensive line. Either that or Troy would look for Novacek in the middle. We were just better than the opposition. I'm not at all concerned at this point. I have confidence that Garrett will be creative.

Enthusiasim and raw passsion has been lacking on this team for some time now. Very glad to see some back...especially on the coaching level.

Oh yeah, absolutely.

That was our whole offense....not just the RZ. We had very few plays even in between the twenties.

We executed.

This team isn't as good (our 90s teams were probably the best ever), so we have to get a little more creative in the RZ. The Colts were stacking up against the run.....I believe the four 1st and 2nd down plays we ran were all inside runs.

Again, first PS game.....We're not going to be very creative. Probably in the reg season, we'd see more PA.

 

[Little Jr]

Yes, but I did not love the red zone play calling.

I didnt either. I think(or hope) that if this was a regular season game it may had been called different. I think(or hope) that they were just trying different things since it was a preseason game.
