Was it good enough for the previous players?

 

[noshame]

Yes as I've said since 2015

You would think an OC on the hot seat, along with the HC, would try to mix it up.
Not run the same ole predicable plays that have also lead to poor offensive outputs in the past.

Also would think he would call more read options, even if his bosses son doesn't like them.

Well, if you watch that run play featured it wouldn't really matter who was playing. It wasn't a pass play. That TE needed to engage the DE. But I'm thinking the TE missed the assignment over poor play design.

 

[Diehardblues]

Was it good enough for the previous players?

Yes probably so.

But it’s worth noting though that pending your current talent perhaps some adjustments are necessary.

Running on 1st down consistently is a worthy criticism as this story revealed. Troy and Tony have called this out as well in their broadcast.

So was Dalton benched after that???

 

[Brooksey]

At this point just go back to "Air Garrett" and throw it 50 times per game to open up the run, pick up the tempo.

The "jumbo" package run game is dead. Spread it out, read options, slants, crossing routes, draws, screens etc.

If our run game had any life, I'm all for a power running game that chews the clock, we don't have the juice.

How many Conference Championships did those previous players play in?

OMG!!
I love this article, it clearly points out what most people have been saying for a while.
This is priceless
".@dallascowboys are in real trouble. Let’s be clear. No one in the @NFL runs this “counter trey” without controlling the backside DE. In fact, no one in Texas HS Football runs this play. This is the most basic fundamental to this play"

I also wonder why Dak doesn't change the play at the line??

Forgot this good part also
"Ezekiel Elliott had 96 total yards in the first half.. and then touched the ball 6 times in the 2nd half. The Titans didn't keep Zeke in check.. The Cowboys kept Zeke in check..and that's ridiculous"

We don't have Romo who could change plays from what he saw vs. the play called in. Prescott doesn't have the experience or the confidence to do so.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Can anybody in their right mind tell me why Dallas ran two counter plays at the goal line in stead of running it up the gut with elliot?

I mean elliot lost two yards on one leading to the int by dak.

Who the hell does that with a powerful back like elliot.

I get that, it doesn't seem like he is changing much at the line.
but...... in his defense, what did Romo accomplish in this same offense???

At least when #9 was on the field, you always had a shot. He could put this team on his back and either finish games, or put the team in position to win a game.

Dak Prescott misses open TD throws, makes terrible reads, fumbles the ball away on potential game tying possessions, and even threw the ball away on 4th and 10 Monday night for crying out loud.

Hey, I'm a Romo fan and I'd like to see Dak do well.
I'm not saying Dak is the man, just pointing out how no matter what Romo did in this offense it didn't get us far.
So I don't think it matters who is behind center in this basic offense with the stupid play calls, no one will be successful.
I mean think about it, we all can agree that Dak needs to be coached up better but look who they put in the position to coach him. Gimme a break!!!!!!!! The ultimate killer for this team is the decision making, the results flow all the way down to the field and it shows.
Dak doesn't get all the blame for this crap show, he's just the scapegoat as is most QB's

I'm not sure. It depends on which Romo you're talking about. Everyone can pile on Prescott and be lazy dismissing the other components of an offense, but this offense is looking bad. Specifically the O line.

Totally agree, but it has to start above those guys.
