Are you really surprised? Everyone is able to see our playcalling from a mile away. It’s not that hard. Moore needs to be fired. And he needs to take Dak with him.
Poppycock!

Dak's first interception happened because the Texans knew what play we were about to run. That's not Dak's fault. That's Kellen's.

The announcers do this every game for every team. It’s also important to remember, or maybe most fans just don’t know, that the angles the announcers have and that you have on TV give insight into plays that defensive players at field level from their vantage point don’t get. This is one reason why most coordinators prefer a booth rather than being on the field. If you know what you’re looking at even most educated fans can guess roughly what’s about to happen based on alignment, motion, situation and personnel. For instance, our first touchdown today was either going to be a dive to Zeke or an end around to Pollard. Those are literally the only two things you’d ever run out of that combination of wide side receiver/tackle alignment with the lone short side wide out coming in motion. The fact that said wide out was Tony Pollard makes it even more obvious. You had a 50% chance of being right just by knowing basics of offensive football.

If every defensive player had access to the pre snap view of the play from the TV angle the average score of an NFL game would be 10-7. The most challenging pre snap aspect of playing defense is the lack of relative depth and movement perception. It’s much harder to read linem

Umm. Announcers are often with the team several times in the week. They know what is happening. Then they get to use the information in the broadcast.

See it all the time if you pay attention

Sanchez made it sound like Blue and Red were fairly commonly used in the league to mean left and right. I dont think it was some secret code they learned by spending time at the team practice.

To be fair, that's a little on Dak too for not reading the defense and calling an audible (or if he did audible, for getting tricked into doing so). He's the field commander after all. But you're right, it's mostly on Kellen and his playbook. He needs to go.

There's no secrets at this stage of the season with all the analytics and film available. Gotta win your matchup and execute

Our offense is that vanilla
Moore running the Garrett 2.0 offense.
I've been telling everyone.....Garrett is still the head coach. He's like the deep state......He is coaching by proxy thru Kellen Moore. His fingerprints continue show up on the game planning every so often. McCarthy is only there go give the illusion of change. The Jonses could never fire family......Jason is the son Jerry never had.......

It's common practice in the NFL to have a word that begins with the letter "R" to represent right. And the opposite of that word means left. Teams just have to use enough dummy calls to camouflage real audibles.

So when Dak audibles and used the word "blue" the run was stuffed for no gain. But on the next series Dak will audible to blue again, but the run will go to the right. Because it's a dummy call. And that's were some of the big gains on the ground come from, dummy calls. It works for us and against us all the time.

Lol, too bad Mark Sanchez couldn’t read the defense when he played, lol easier to call stuff up in the booth.

But he's eminently more qualified than you or I to discuss football.
Tha's the reason he's paid more for two broadcasts than we make in a year in quid.

Red (run to the right)
Blue (run to the left)

Both runs were stuffed for losses. Are our audibles that simplistic?

Could be. On that 4th and goal I knew it was going to Zeke up the middle for no gain. I bet the defense knew it too. That play needs to thrown into the dumpster.

Yea. One of the booth guys said Ball missed his block. It didn't matter at all because the safety on the left side had already knifed thru and tackled Zeke in the backfield. Dak should have seen that safety on the line and kept the ball. He could have strolled right in.
