Will new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's 'Dak Language' be a tweaking of old OC Kellen Moore's? OR. Will the new guy install some fundamental changes, maybe not a complete revision, but a real shift that does not have the old guys' fingerprints still showing prominently all over it.

Personally, I want Moore's Dak Language end up like Latin. In other words, dead.

just some more mumbo jumbo lol
None of that needed to be said.
Funny though it took him a year to "figure things out" lol that was the bad record season.

And it seems he was happy with 21 and 22, yet got rid of kellen and other coaches to make changes.
Now it seems not much is changing lol, just mike calling plays and a few new wrinkles.
And no mention of running more lol.

He's an offensive savant.

Had McCarthy been around he would have had all the answers to expose Landry's flex defense.

So he's not finna to change the language?
They’ve had the same language for years now, why make something new for both of them? Not to mention the OC was in the building last year as well.

Mike said the offense will have about a 30% change. His statement above is consistent with that. Changing language would be an overhaul. We don’t need an overhaul, we need situational tweaking and some schematic diversity here and there.

Agreed. I understand that all offenses have some similarities, but I want to put the offense that Garrett installed far behind us. Linehan built on that scheme. Moore built on that scheme. Yet, Garrett is out of the league as a coach because New York showed that his scheme was only as good as the talent of the team. Hopefully, language is the only thing we're keeping.

Hey, he brought back the Landry shift. Wait ... that was Garrett. Let's get rid of it.

The language doesn't matter, that's just determining if they want to call something a "go" or a "9"

The route combos, keys, and progressions will likely change, but the plays will still sound the same.

Just getting rid of the play where all receivers run a 5-yard curl route and not running a pass play from an empty set on 2nd and 2 will improve the offense by 30%.

The language isn’t really the issue. It’s just the terminology used. You can use different languages to convey the same meanings.
