Kellen Moore, halftime adjustments

Isn't it so amazing. How important halftime adjustments are. I believe the Cowboys are the number one third-quarter team in the league. I can't recall the last time we came out of the locker room like a different team. Like we know what we were doing.
Offensively.

While the defense has performed well, there has not been any major visible in-game adjustments by the defense. On the other hand, steady four-quarter defensive performance has worked well enough thus far...

So what have the adjustments been that have been made at half time ? List them please.
 
Not to be a contrarian, but Moore's making adjustments BEFORE halftime. For example, in the Washington game the Cowboys were taking their time with shifts and motion and Washington was reacting to it pretty well. In the 2nd quarter the Cowboys sped up their time to snap by 5-12 seconds not giving Washington time to react, and it was all downhill (in a good way) from there.

Versus Miami, it became apparent that the Dolphins were mostly content with rushing 3 and daring Dallas to run on them (imagine that!), and Dallas obliged by having two backs run for 100+.

PIzza Boy 2020. Moore's The Man.

Considering there were no halftime adjustments whatsoever the entire time Garrett was running the offense, I would say it is quite refreshing to see something being done to play better in the 2nd half of games so far this season.

Yes he's done that also

Yeah I don't know why was that Garrett was that Lanahan.? Garrett's job is field management it's lenihan's job to put the game plan in place I thought. Just like now it's Kellen Moore please don't make this about Garrett

Until he gets fired it's ALWAYS about Garrett. Nice try at deflection, but you failed.
 
Against Miami alone. Coming out in the second half. Did you not see the difference in the offense. Come on do I really need to explain it
Yes. You do. Because I want to know the major adjustments that were made in the 3 min time period during half time.

Better play doesn’t mean anything at all was changed. It means players executed better. So tell me the things that were changed. Did they change their blocking scheme? Did they alter their pass patterns? Of anything was changed st half time the decision to be more aggressive on d was made. But again you mentioned Moore. So what did he change at half time that he didn’t change in the 2nd q. And why did he wait until half time to make those changes.

Since you are so interested why dont you call up Moore and ask for yourself. I am pretty sure he could breakdown everything you are itching to know in precise details, from what plays he scrapped at halftime, name and brand of the machine he used to laminate his playcalling sheets, on down to what he had for breakfast that morning.

A snickers wouldnt do you any good, but info like this would definitely satisfy you.

So really, you guys don't know that any adjustments were made, but it sure sounds smart to say so. I get it. I just find it laughable, people harp on stuff like "half time adjustments" but yet don't know what the crap they are talking about because they don't know what, if any, adjustments were made at all.

Here is a hint, more adjustments are made during the game than at half time. There is nothing magical going on in the locker room at half time.

All I am saying is that if you Google the meaning anal-retentive your face would plaster all over the computer screen.

Why does it have to be that serious? Its not.

Seems you have an insecurity and feel you need to get one over on someone just to feel good about yourself for a day.

Most fans have a simple view of what goes on in a football game. Why would those fan care about explaining the mathematics and technicals of how things happened within said game?

I am pretty sure there are probably about half of 1% of the fans on this forum that are willing to give you the time, day, or satisfaction on the stupidity that you are suggesting.

I get his point though. Just because we came out in the third and started scoring doesn’t have to mean any “adjustments” were made. It could simply be that we started executing the plays better
 
There may be nothing more happening during halftime than they review the plays, and what worked well, they will continue, what didn't work, they don't do any more that game. And that they review the game plan and let the players know a particular play or two or three that they plan to run, so the players can be prepared a bit more for that, not having to think about the myriad of plays in the playbook that could be run.

But as a practical matter, not a lot you can do in the halftime, first the players have to get off the field and back on the field, in some stadiums it's more than a few seconds' walk. Players also may go for a potty break, get a snack, have ankles re-taped or equipment modified or changed, get minor injuries looked at, and have positional meetings. Any changes have to be based on what went on in the days before the game, just a re-fresher so to speak.

Not going to make huge changes, just no time for that, though minor changes can and do create some big plays....
