Kellen Moore, halftime adjustments

[Cowboy4ever]

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.

So you guys make some stupid comment boosting about half time adjustments, get called on your stupidity, and since you can't back up anything with anything, you go on some type of rant. Good job.

Moore and the other coaches are doing a great job so far and plenty of adjustments are being made on both sides of the ball. And adjustments were made last year, and the year before, and the year before. But these little petty backhanded shots at Garrett are just childish. Why bring up halftime adjustments at all, if you don't have any clue of what they were or if any were even made. It's just a childish attempt to dig at Garrett. It's kinda pathetic actually.

So what have the adjustments been that have been made at half time ? List them please.

Through three games, the Cowboys have outscored their opponents by 25 points in the third quarter.

In 2018 under Linehan, they were -16.

Dak Prescott in the third quarter this year: 9 for 9, 137 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown (and an eight-yard rushing touchdown)

ok.. and??

Either he or Dak have been able to refocus the team after halftime.

 

[noshame]

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.

Please let this go, HS teams make halftime adjustments.
Making small adjustments to routes, adjusting to different situational play calls, and as simple as adding motion to a play can make a huge difference, Trust me, they don't sit around sipping Gatorade and playing poker.

 

[SoupcanSam]

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

I refuse to believe that the cowboys continued to play into the hands of the dolphins for four quarters. This is the Kellen Moore era, not the linehan era.

ok.. and??

y u so mad?

First off, this isn't HS. The NFL has instant access to all types of data. The point I am making is don't harp on Halftime adjustments, they are no more or less important than any other adjustments. Adjustments are made after every series on both sides of the ball through out the entire game. There is nothing magical at half time. The people that keep harping on these "half time adjustments" are simply takes shots at Garrett in a backhanded way. If someone thinks that adjustments were not made by the team up until the last 3 games, that is just beyond stupid. We could argue whether or not that the adjustments made were good bad or whatever, put to say stuff like "it's great to finally see halftime adjustments" is just a dig at Garrett with no basis and it's just plain stupid. That's all. I have been in an NFL lockerroom at halftime about 2 years ago.. I can tell you first hand, nothing magical happens. The coaches meet behind closed doors for roughly 2 minutes. The position coaches come out and speak with their groups for about a minute.. the HC says a few words about what the expectations are in the 2 Q.. teams leave the locker room to go warm up.. again, nothing magical is happening in that 3 minutes the players talk football during the halftime.

 

[TheSkaven]

ok.. and??

And what? It's self-evident. If you're scoring all your points in the third quarter, then it's obvious that adjustments have been made.

What are you exactly looking for here? You want to know exactly what specific adjustments he made?

 

[SoupcanSam]

But these little petty backhanded shots at Garrett are just childish.

Finally.....the light at the end of the tunnel.

So now that we know the man crush is in full bloom, I guess we all can move onward through the fog.

Nothing to see here.

With that logic, the teams that aren't successful in the 3rd Q, aren't making adjustments? So coaches like Chucky who have won SB and is considered an O guru, just don't make adjustments at HT, or Pete Carrol, that makes no sense. Why wouldn't they make all these magical adjustments during Halftime?

Again, nothing to say other than to deflect. typical.

Had they said "in-game adjustments" instead of "half-time adjustments" would that have avoided all this?

Yeah because youve clearly stated facts on why you believe the OP is wrong!

All you have done is cry about nothing that has turned out to be a lovefest for Garrett at the end of the day.

It's not like you have provided details on how the cowboys did/didnt adjust after halftime.

But it does sound like you are assuming that the cowboys didnt adjust......but the dolphins adjusted to lose the game after a competitive first half.

Yeah let's just go with that. All of those 2nd half points just came out of nowhere because the dolphins got tired of trying to win a competitive game.

Who knew...

 

[JD_KaPow]

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.

Against the Giants, we scored TDs on our three drives leading into halftime.
Against the Skins, we scored TDs on our two drives leading into halftime.
Against the Dolphins, we scored on our first two drives, and then yes, went into a funk until the 3rd quarter. That's really the only game where you could argue anything changed at halftime.
We've scored 45 points in the first half and 52 in the second half.
We've put up 725 yards in the first half and 719 yards in the second half.

The defense has allowed 20 points in the first half and 24 points in the second half.
The defense has allowed 502 yards in the first half and 538 in the second half.

Don't really need "halftime adjustments" to explain these numbers.

Well Here are the facts: Adjustments are made after every single series played during an NFL game on both sides of the ball. I am sure you have seen the coaches with the players with the tablets, white boards, etc talking to the players.. you think they are exchanging recipes? There is nothing magical about halftime. They have less time to discuss this stuff at half time than they do between series. But if you want to continue to believe that they have some magical moment where they re-design their game plan and coach the players on those changes in the 3 minutes they have with them, great, keep on trucking brother. And to imply that Garrett or any coach on any team in the NFL does not do adjustments during the game, halftime etc is either A. Agenda driven B. total lack of football knowledge. I don't care which category someone falls into, it's just stupid either way.

It's not a love fest with Garrett. He has many areas that can be and are criticized and rightfully so. But this adjustment non sense falls into the same category as Romo wearing his hat backwards affected his ability to play the QB position, and icing his own kicker.. both of which are totally crazy but they do fit within peoples agendas so they get re-hashed by stupid fans all the time.

It's not that I love Garrett, it's that I hate stupid.

 

[Idgit]

I don't think halftime adjustments are a real thing anymore. Teams are adjusting from series to series now. Whatever's going on it's obviously related to the break somehow, but I'm not sure what all goes into it.

I think Garrett adjusted his left (you know what). I don't think the OP really has any intention of dogging JG. Maybe he was trying to dig on the "old" OC, who knows. It's just banter and creates conversation. Don't (and I am talking to Cowboy4Ever) bust chops just because you think it is a Garrett bashing thread. Maybe the adjustment was, "hey Dak, stop throwing so many long balls and let's get a little control on the passing game". That's what I would have said and I was thinking it way before halftime.

 

[Tommy]

Until he gets fired it's ALWAYS about Garrett. Nice try at deflection, but you failed.

Awesome! Because we are 3-0.

Great job Garrett.
