Twitter: Mike McCarthy on Changes to the Offense

We will see a more complex offense under McCarthy. More diverse WR and TE tree. Less of the Y-option.

From the beginning McCarthy has been a supporter and believer in Moore. Unless he leaves for a HC job in a few years, Moore will be the next HC of the Cowboys.

I'm eager to see these changes implemented on the field.

 

[HungryLion]

I would love to see some 2 back sets with Zeke and Pollard. And with a coach that will be willing to run more screen passes and split Pollard out into the slot or out wide.

 

[Ranched]

Fans will see a better & more diverse Cowboys team. No doubt.

Think back to when former WR Montgomery was the GB lead back....he ran lots of pass patterns from the backfield, the slot, and in motion. I think that's what we will see with Pollard in the 2-back set where Zeke is still a power run threat. I think we'll also see Zeke running inside with Pollard and Dak in the traditional QB/pitchman option rolls.

Force a team into a run D package then split Zeke and Pollard out for coverage mismatches. Could be fun.

I hope you guys are right.

I hear all this optimism people keep expressing about Moore.

I only saw a few things that seemed different from other years under Linehan.

And the breakdowns just seemed to overwhelm any success.

So maybe all the praise being afforded Moore becomes obvious why.

I still wait and watch.

All we can do is wait and see. Looks like a descent start so far. We have a new staff.

What does not make much sense yet to me is McCarthy talking about a 2 back offense.

Who is going to be the blocking back?

We drafting for one?

I’d be very leary of overdoing screen passes if my qb has the talent of dikky doo. Sure we’d move the ball between the 20’s just fine (like we did this year) but eventually you get to the red zone, like we did this year.

I don’t think we need a $40m dollar qb to throw screen passes either

Only a few teams use a lead blocking back. With our oline and WRs, spreading the defense out and running the ball in 1back sets is better than bunching the defense inside.

We will not have a $40 million dollar QB, it will be more like $35 million. So we will get what ever Moore calls to allow us to get.

 

[CouchCoach]

Other than QB and a few select players, McC did not have the talent the Cowboys have had on offense. He had to get creative with his calls to create the mismatches while Garrett has always been dependent on his guys beating their guys. That's how he learned it from Norv Turner and Nick Saban. Talent wins out.

I do believe McC is more creative than Garrett but that was the complaint we heard out of GB the last years he was there, lack of creativity. I am hoping part of his journey in 2019 was the realize that he lost a lot of that creative edge and a very accurate QB can do that to a lot of coaches.

 

[Redline360]

So your telling me were not going to run the same 8 or 9 plays over and over? Guess the rest of the league will have to throw out the 90s cowboys playbook hanging up in the locker room

 

[Direwolf63]

I'm much more concerned about the defense and special teams.

That's where the real problems are.

 

[Redball Express]

Dez?

I am reminded of that old high school cheer..

"Dez..Dez.. he's our man..

If he can't do it..

nobody can".

Pom poms flying and girl's skirts a shaken.

Yeah.
