Mike McCarthy is making new playbook Dak inclusive and friendly

[CowboyoWales]

We has too many "fans" who accentuate Dak's negatives and ignore the positives. MM just wants to maximize what Dak does best.

That's because evaluating the positives and trying to recreate them in situations of need (ie trailing the 49ers in hurry up offense needing a TD) just doesnt work. If there's an issue it has be addressed, not brushed under the table and ignored. Dak's negatives get 'accentuated' because he's got the ball in his hands, yes there's other factors, but they havent the direct effect that he does. This is the issue with fans who deflect the blame on everything bar Dak, and dismiss his part in the failure by saying "ok he's not elite".

Dak does a lot of things well just not consistently.

The problem is that the stuff Dak is good at and the stuff Dak wants to do are two different things.

I do wonder if last year he tried to play up to the 'contract', whether that was self imposed or an organizational directive/desire I'm uncertain. This is the basis of the paying Dak top dollar debate (moving forward), whether that's a winning strategy if he can't step up without expensive weapons.
It'll be interesting how we approach this season.

There is definitely an element of this at play. It is not just him trying to live up to it but the organization wanting him to be something more. The leg injury was a game changer also.

if we can run the football and have balance,fans may love dak

That is only one way the fans will ever love Dak.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

What a ray of sunshine we have here.

Geez, it's just football for crying out loud.

exactly, talk to some of these trolls who talk about everything, including their fathers not raising them right....than talk football. some can't even spell football

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I think that is what Moore was dealing with. Dak is erratic at times and he tried giving Dak those Curl routes to throw to simplify the non moving target.

so he tried to help him with curl routes, by having 4 WRs running it at the same time...what a genuis!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I took a look at the playbook one play that has been scrapped is throwing a 4 yard pass when you need 10. Boy wonder’s favorite play.

don't forget curl routes or running WRs to the same spot, just to fool the defense.

Dude needs to play a reliable and efficient brand of football that leads to sustained post season success. Minimum an NFC championship game appearance. That is not a big ask. Almost all of the other big pay day QBs have accomplished that much or more.

Which is what every coach does. At least successful ones....

 

[Rockport]

The restructure earlier this year destroyed any of those hopes. They’re on the hook for 60M for Dak next season. There is only 1 way to go from here, it’s an extension. Whether we like it or not. The FO has backed themselves into a corner w Daks contract.

Good! Phew!

There’s 53 players and about that many coaches in case you didn’t know. I guess Rogers sucks too since he didn’t make it to the NFC Championship game.

 

[charron]

This all sounds good but this is fairly normal. Still big questions on how different the plays are. How effective is this new offense as defenses adjust to it. As teams begin to counter this offense does dak hold the ball longer, or run more, etc. It will be interesting to see

 

[Buzzbait]

I have no problem with what McCarthy told Dak, sounded perfectly logical to me.

Sarge said:
Sounds like they’re acknowledging his weaknesses. Makes sense I guess, but somehow concerning.

I'd rather that than the Cowboys not acknowledging it and go through the next few years just sticking their heads in the sand,

I'm with ya big dog. It'd be stupid to blindly call plays that the QB is clearly uncomfortable with. You have to tailor your offensive scheme to your offense's talent and ability. Anything else would be foolish.

Humor us and be precise. What are those things?

 

[Buzzbait]

I want a WIN friendly offense including more playoff wins.

So do I jazz, so do I. But as long as Dak is QB1, you need an offense that is Dak friendly, just like if QB X was our QB, we would need an offense that is QB X friendly. Nevertheless I agree, we DO need a WIN friendly offense. LOL

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Probably.

It is an effort to do exactly what the situation with Romo was.

There is a significant financial commitment and since the player is above par, they are going to max the situation out.

He had his flaws and the idea is to eliminate the decision making to a minimum.

From the sounds of it and comments like "the same plays but we have detailed the ish out of them," it seems more like they are trying to allow him to make informed decisions.

Moore seemed big on the how and what but nonexistent on the why. Now they are detailing the out of plays.

Noooo....we dont want Dak thinking, that's where the uncertainty arises when receivers dont get open and he thinks he has to make the play (whether it's there or not). To me he looks better as a quick one/two read and then checkdown, rely on our two best receivers YAC attributes.
