Basketball has gone wild with analytics. One of the outcomes of that is people figured out that statistically the best shots are by the rim or 3 pointers. If you take mid range shots frequently, you are going to lose.

I would be curious if the same holds for football. Are the best passes either high percentage dump off where you let the receiver run or long passes over the defense with mid range being lower value? It did seem that a lot of the INT's last year were those 10 to 15 yarders through the defense.

Wait, wasn't Moore being more aggressive last year in the passing game ... and look what happened ....

No I am not knocking Dak, but just pointing out a fact. Yes we will win games, but how many will it cost us as well.
Now was that on Moore for not calling the right plays, allowing Dak to get into bad situations, WR's running wrong routes. Probably a combination of it all.

Just be careful, but maybe MM's 30% change and playing calling will improve this.

Is this really your question? Where have you been? What cost us games were communication and everybody being in synch. That’s where the changes have been made.

aggressive or conservative

i just need better situational football

if the defense gets a turnover now is not a time for a trick play....if we're running the ball down their throat nows not the time to pop a quick screen

A generally simplified offense that is more likely to be learned by the whole O, so that there is less confusion/sync issues, sure seems like a very good idea, compared to last year.

Combine that with Lamb, a more fully-recovered Gallup, an outstanding vet in Cooks, a recovered Prescott, and maybe, just maybe, the O this year really is significantly better.

I’ve said it before. It’s not that Mike wants to run more.
He wants to run more in situations that are begging for trouble….3rd and long at our end of the field.
3rd and long in FG range when the defense has mostly DBs in the game. 3rd and long when we are playing with the lead. When the coach and play caller is careful based on the situation, the QB will be the same. When the coach and play caller is always trying to convert every 3rd down regardless of the situation, the QB will be overly aggressive.

However, I do believe it won’t always be actual “running play;” sometimes it will be the west coast short passes that we look at as similar to a running play but getting playmakers in space.

It‘s way early to assume anything. A coach who just wants to win, no matter the score or stats, will call the game every week based on the available personnel, how the QB, receivers, and OL are performing, along with how the opposition’s offense and defense is performing. Too many fans want to win the stats column. Too many fans want to say, “now don’t get conservative; stay aggressive; put your foot on their throats and end the game in the third quarter,” only to assign blame when it bites us in the butt. Go back and look at the scores when we had SB championship teams and the most talented team in the NFL. Seldom were we trying to run up the scores; we were much more conservative with leads because all we cared about was winning and getting the bye or resting players at the end of the regular season.

Good point. I think Mike always meant running situationally than pure volume.
