Methodical. "Boring". I love it

[Garrettop]

Hand off. Slant. Hand off. Bootleg. Hand off. Out route. 5 yards. 2 yards. 7 yards. -1. 11. 2 minutes. 5 minutes. 8 minutes. 1st and 30? Sounds like a great start to a scoring drive. 3 plays, first down. 13 plays to score. 10 plays to score. Etc.

But lest anyone think this is because this offense *couldn't* light up the scoreboard like the Greatest Show on Turf, they can also score in less than 30 seconds when the situation dictates. This mindset, this culture: Line em up, hit em in the mouth, until they can't take it anymore. So what if it "protects the defense".

I. LOVE. IT.

We run basic plays because our stalls are Stacked offensively...

Boring is not the word I would use.



Imposing is the word. That's very un-boring.

This is highly encouraging, Percy! Due to the implications for those teams (read: their success)

I think it's fair to say, with a healthy secondary, we have a better D than those Rams' squads.

But I also feel like it could be more powerful with some extra speed at wr.

I think a TE with speed with do more for us than a WR.

I agree. "Boring" is not a word I would use to describe our offense. Methodical is the word I would use.

I'll take a combo please.

Methodically Imposing!

Yeah there's nothing boring about it at all. These guys are incredibly exciting to watch.

Break the bodies. Break the will. Break the scoreboard. Break the records.

The Cowboys have been fantastic at protecting the ball this year. Combine that with their physical imposing style of play and it's a joy to watch.

Watching the game yesterday confirmed something I heard Louis Riddick say on radio.
He said that the OL wears you out to a point you don't wanna play anymore.
Baltimore showed up and made plays in the first 2 quarters,but as the game progressed,Baltimore's DL deteriorated.
The Cowboys have been doing that consistently this year.Sometimes they start slow,but once they get it going,they become an avalanche of offense.
Credit to Dak,even when he has shaky starts,he does not get rattled.He keeps his cool.Zeke is an absolute stud,and the supporting cast is also contributing.
This is a complete team effort.

Efficient and effective.

.......and kills 99% of germs.

 

[Longboysfan]

the 5 Steam rollers proving they get the job done week after week.
The Cowboys line provides lanes in the running game and time to pass.

They may not be number 1 in rushing or passing but combined look awfully great at this point.

.......and kills 99% of other teams.

Corrected.

They're so similar to the '90s offense in terms of philosophy and construction. The only real difference that I see is that we have a mobile QB, and we have Beasely whose style of play was something that didn't really exist in the 90's. The 90's team did have a FB who had a big role, which we don't have.

Combined with the fact that outside of Alfred Morris and Brice Butler, every single offensive player they have taking snaps is homegrown, and it starts to look like they had a plan for this from the beginning. I have to think that Garrett having been a part of those 90's teams wanted this from when he took over.
