Twitter: McCarthy: Cowboys 1 offseason goal is addressing penalties

[Carson]

Hook, line and sinker!

Penalties is just one goal. Mental discipline. Better preparation. More focus on details. Better execution. Working on basic fundamental techniques along the OL and DL.

Overhauling a tired and exposed offensive system. Working with your QB on actually seeing the field and throwing to open WRs. Developing innovative schemes on offense and defense.

So yah… fix the damn penalties. And everything else while you’re at it lol

 

[Hawkeye19]

Wow… gotta have a kindergarten offense for Dak? Even if Kellen goes elsewhere? Ridiculous. What a clown-show.

Clean-up on aisle #4

We also need to address our running game since we’re not moving on from Dak .

Accountability starts with the coaches themselves, finger-pointing and blaming the refs thru so many games - that melted down to the players themselves,.. and they (players) did not let up
with the ref-blaming and it spilled over to even the biggest leaders on the team, and right into the media ranks.
And the rest of the team is to be influenced and gonna act and react accordingly.

Either it was ignored or it was welcomed by the coaches. Unfortunately that's a sign of weakness, a sign of pity, and a sign of helplessness.
Penalties were a big part of the Garrett era, ..and it's become a big part of the McCarthy era.

This is a start in the right direction. If they just could become even middle of the pack in penalties, it will be more victories.

This has been an issue with multiple HC's like the inability to create defensive turnovers for years until recently. Coaches need to make the players accountable, if they continue to hurt the team head to the bench or even leave the team.

Oh...this is bad. This joker is talking penalties, dude needs to be accountable for his role because there's a long list of things he did wrong without having a penalty conversation.

What type of crap is "it's harder the first time in the playoffs" bruh you won the SB and it doesn't matter about first time...you play to win the game.

Only 45 combined carries n completions..really. MM you can literally order Pollard more carries, Coop/Lamb more targets. Also, how many incompletions were there MM?

This coach is a joke, for real. Cowboys would be lucky to even make the playoffs next year. The moment it's official McCarthy is back is the moment you know next season is already a wrap, and it might have more to do with Jerry to tell the truth.

 

[CouchCoach]

I would like to know how he plans on fixing it. Does he think he will be allowed to discipline players? What happens to players that commit penalties now? Did you see them even get jerked off the field?

Do the players actually think anything will happen or is this just the same ole "we gotta get better at that" lip service they give the media and fans every year.

Until there are consequences to the behavior, it will continue.

And let's not forget, this GM refused to let another HC raise fines when players were showing up late or not at all. I have never heard of anything like that on any team.

 

[quickccc]

well, of course the offense will continue to be build around the 40 million per year .. who would think otherwise ? ..lol

The question is will the OC role and play calling change ...- whether Kellen remains here .. or he moves on as a new HC ? ....

 

[The Fonz]

So after 2 years Mr analytic just woke up to give us this BS again?

 

[glimmerman]

Start with firing your buddy that’s the line coach.

 

[unionjack8]

Just because it didn’t happen in season doesn’t mean it wasn’t a point of emphasis. It’s much hard to coach bad habits out of guys in season than during an entire offseason. if they willingly make it a direct initiative to stop the penalties and mm holds people accountable all offseason- ota’s, training camp, pre season etc than I think you can see a correlation

He had an entire offseason....

 

[glimmerman]

The problem only has one solution, get rid of the perps. Williams and Gregory have been doing this, just as Pozderac did back in Landry's day. He finally solved the problem by getting rid of the player.

They had this problem with Flozell but he balanced that out by being an outstanding LT. Neither Williams nor Gregory is outstanding.

Want to get the rest of the team's attention? Fire those two and let it be known just why they're gone. Now, do the rest of you want to pay attention?

Gregory is just lazy and stupid. Plenty of players smoked pot and committed infractions but they're smart enough not to get caught. I despise players that screw up and then laugh about it.

Williams was benched for it and they let him out only to do it again in the most important game of the season.

What about the OL and run game?

========

Should have been done in season. Feels like I watched the house burn down, and I knew I should have put out the flames when I first saw them ....
