Klayton Adams Interview (The Athletic)

[Kwyn]

Anyone interested an hour long interview with Clayton by Robert Mays, of the best foootball guys on the web, will love this.

Very detailed and specific about the cowboys offense and Adams history.

You can see why this guy is a hot property across the industry . With every team wanting offensive Head Coaches, it’s almost certain he’ll be the first Cowboy coordinator to go.

The YouTube version will be up at noon today



Here’s the podcast with two links. It’s live now.

I think Adams is a really good offensive line coach, especially for his run blocking schemes. I don't know what he is as an offensive coordinator because the offense is No-Schott's area of expertise. How much of the offense is No-Schott and how much is Adams?

If I'm a team looking for a head coach, I'd be much more interested in what Christian Parker does because you know his head coach isn't helping him on that side of the ball.

I think we might have the best OL coach since Callahan

Adams talks about that at length

He said that the offense is Schottenheimer’s and that obviously includes play calling

He said that when Schottenheimer recruited him for the job he wanted Clayton to bring some really out there ideas that were different than a lot of teams, especially in the run game. He had watched the Cardinals run game and noted that they did a lot of really inventive things and he wanted that for the Cowboys

So, i think it’s safe to say the running play design last year was heavily influenced by Adams but the general offensive strategy and all of the passing game was Schottenheimer

As to Parker, only 10 NFL head clashes come from the defensive side of the ball and the trends over the last decade are cycling more and more to the offensive side .
