Kellen Moore Play Calling

[Londonboy]

Oh, and where was the motion yesterday? Last week Lamb was in motion a lot, and it worked well. This week.........

The motion on the 4th down GL play actually put King in position to make the play, if the WR had stayed wide, King would have had to stay with Him and couldn't have made the tackle.

That was just a terrible play call.

McCarthy needs to have a hold of the back of the boys neck when he starts that cute play calling.

And we were behind with time running out.

I am gonna disagree with this. We abandoned the run by the 2Q. We had plenty of time to keep running and we didn't. The OP is right about misdirection/off tackle stuff. Plus we never use Dak much outside the pocket much. I don't understand why we don't get the defense moving all over during the first half. Get them tired. If we do that, we have the running game to absolutely destroy them in the second half when they are exhausted.

Can't wait for Moore to be GONE! Giuy has no imagination. No nothing. You put him up with the really good Oc's out there. He's a joke.

That's true.

You try to air it out in one of the all time rush defenses in nfl history and you have pollard and Zeke?

I get that Dak gets some of this pie but my goodness what was he thinking

That's the Jason Garrett school of thought. "Alright guys. We're going to play the worst rush defense, so we're going to throw the ball. They'll never expect that."

I said this in a thread during the week and was laughed at by some. Moore always goes away from what works and gets cute. It makes no sense. There was 0 motion yesterday. He has these Garrett game plans some weeks and you just shake your head.

So on our first touchdown its a beautifully designed play. I think zeke went one way, pollard the other. You can clearly see how the misdirection affected the defense. Last week against the colts we had Ceedee running those jet sweeps... dak running with the ball.

So KM does it on the first drive then doesn't do it again? I don't understand why he doesn't. It can be an effective part of the offense.Not only to help move the chains, but help dak get into rhythm as well. But we go away from it?

Its just mind boggling to me. Teams use that misdirection stuff the entire game, and it works for them. With the weapons and oline we have (not to mention dak running). It needs to be a bigger part of this offense.

Not all on KM 2 dropped Tds, some bad routes ran, dropped passes, OL getting pushed into Dak a few times effecting plays., come on man,., just stop bad game all around but we won.

 

[phildadon86]

I've said it a few times, but it was his worst performance all season.

We were running against the worse run defense in the last 50 years or so, and avg 7 yards a clip. There is NO good reason Dak should've thrown the ball 28 times in the first half.

KM was beyond terrible yesterday.

They literally came out throwing. I knew right there what the game plan was. And was not happy.

Many big plays were open , wasn't on Moore when many players failed too execute

Feel like whenever the game gets tight Kellen tightens up.

1st drive was the easiest of the game and we did PA a few times on 1st down for some easy throws. Then barely did it again after that. Also it was clear they were going heavy heavy cover 2 and we didn’t adjust well. Would love to have seen more quick, some beater throws.

It was an arrogant, sloppy game plan, and it back fired exactly as expected.

When we come out throwing downfield passes, we know our O will have trouble. It's not rocket science, but apparently it is to them.

Didn't we go 3 and out on first drive?

 

[phildadon86]

We scored on our opening drive

 

[cnuball21]

Didn't we go 3 and out on first drive?

Didn’t think so but could be wrong, maybe it was the second drive.

Either way, both of our early scoring drives we threw a few more times on 1st down and it helped open up run the run game.

Kellen then turned into Jason Garret going run, run pass and we looked terrible.

It’s almost like we want to play too conservative until we need to play aggressive which is why we’ve looked better in the 2nd half most games.

 

[Captain43Crash]

The 4th and goal after the Diggs fumble recovery was VERY disappointing. We ran every play but should have come up with something better on 4th.

That play had no chance. Terrible call.

Why don’t we use Philly’s QB sneak? They are almost unstoppable on 3rd and 1 or less with their QB sneak.

 

[Proof]

What's the game plan? Surprise McCarthy and Quinn with a two headed QB?

lol for real. I've yet to hear anyone say what blue print their defense used (unless it's abusing ball)

 

[Playmaker3128]

I was just pointing out in my initial analysis. It’s obvious dak isn’t a strict pocket passer. He’s running much better this season… why not take advantage of it.

Jalen hurts does it the entire game… josh Allen as wel. Mahomes and the list goes on.

you don’t have to be the fastest qb to use your feet…. But it can be a huge part of the offense. Something the defense has to account for. When we have used it this year it’s worked for us
