Memo to MM and KM

[CowboyChris]

1. it's time to change up the signals, and tendacies out of certain formations
2. run the ball more, and throw more RB screens especially to Pollard
3. delete all these double reverse type runs
4. how about an occasional bubble to screen to Turpin
5. more 3 step drops with the ball coming out

Finally....If I was KM, I would study the Eagles offense very hard, and incorporate some of what they are doing into our playbook, the Eagles offense is almost unstoppable, and they get after you in multiple ways

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They won't. This has been going on since Garrett. They didn't think it was a issue then and don't think it is now.....just tipping the defense off every play.

The TV announcers were calling our plays for gosh sakes.

Garrett left his clone behind to sabotage his successor. And it's been working. Please let Moore get a HC job this off-season.

The problem is the Cowboys still like to think it's the 1990s and that the only obstacle between losing and winning is "execution".

For me, I really hate when they throw short of the first down marker which adds two failure points to a single pass instead of one. The receiver has to catch it and also elude tacklers to get a first down.

I also hate comeback routes. I would not mind them if 50% of the time the receiver stopped, turned back to the quarterback and then spun around and took off toward the end zone.

At least that way when the receiver turns around the defender, who can see the ball coming, has to hestitate to make sure it's not a stop-turn-and-go move.

6. This team is terrible at running screen passes, please stop calling them it is a drive killer

 

[glimmerman]

I think JG liked to run more. He was from the 90’s era. It was linehan that JJ made the OC and he would to “totally fool them” by passing 3 straight times on 1st and goal from the 2. Lol.

We came out throwing but settled in this week. But seemed to try to use Pollard more earlier and did I see them trying to run counter plays or was it Pollard changing direction because the hole wasnt there.

Sounds good.
I will email Jerry this morning..
LOL

 

[DTK]

They need to throw all the screens they have in their playbook and trash them! We are and have been the worst screen team since I can remember. NO SCREENS!

 

[Adiba1977]

Bingo. Get ball to playmakers in space 1/1. Stop all the middle passes. Spread it out. practice screens to POLLARD not zeke. WAKE UP!!!!!

For whatever reason, KM does not seem to think a screen pass also includes lead blockers

This, remember in the Bucs loss, they knew what was coming the first game of the season because they had saw everything the previous season nothing changed.

I mean after big loss the defense says the same things and flags don’t go off to change it.

We don't have that kind of time during the week to add to the play book it's curl routes or don't play for this team. Other teams make it look easy for their offensive players

 

[jujoboys]

Add more wheel routes for Tony Pollard. There is not a LBer in the league that can cover him on that type of play. He had 2 against Minny, One for a 30 YD TD and one for a 68 yard TD. The 68 yard TD was a thing of beauty.

Good thing our players are so mega-talented that even though our opponents know every play we are going to run we are still the highest scoring team in the NFL when our starting QB plays.

This must be the greatest collection of offensive players in the history of football!

6. This team is terrible at running screen passes, please stop calling them it is a drive killer

But the question is why?

Pizza Boy obviously dont care about the screen, when it should be a staple in every NFL playbook.

Great equalizer when the other teams D-linemen are teeing off - ESPECIALLY when you got a guy like Pollard.

These guys should be able to run effective screens in their sleep.

 

[big dog cowboy]

2. throw more RB screens especially to Pollard

Until the Cowboys can run a screen play that doesn't lose yards, it should be scrapped from the playbook.

Worst screen team in the league.

3 step drop almost got Dak with a bad thumb again with Ball trying to block.
