2020 Dak broke his leg and it was the year after Moore took over play-calling from Linehan. MM is just making stuff up at this point, trying to present the picture the offense is changing, without it really changing. There is no West Coast offense, as this is an offense that has been tailored to Dak’s skill-set as MM admits. Dak has been baby-sat for years.

This is the SAME language Jerry used when he spoke about bringing in Linehan while retaining Garrett’s offense, I.e. Garrett didn’t know how to call plays. The only exception is that Jerry actually said that Tony Romo would have more input in the offense.

Linehan gives us a complete real change of our offense with our terminology,” Jones said. “Although [Garrett and Linehan] have been together coaching, you can’t see a lot of what we’ve been [doing] in what they did up in Detroit. He’s got a track record of really zeroing in and building the offense around the talent, the specific talent and the qualities of the players.”

“Look hard at how he maximized Johnson’s skills,” Jones said. “They designed stuff to take advantage of Johnson getting there. We’re not going to give any coach credit for Johnson, [but maybe] that’s not really the way it should be.”

Jones said Linehan has made the most of his assets passing and running dating to his days in Minnesota with Randy Moss and Robert Smith, both All-Pro players.

“He really does make adjustments to the personnel that are dictated by the scheme and the philosophy,” Jones said. “... He’s a proven imaginative coach, relative to using his talent, their particular skills.”[/qupte]

Dak learning a new offense, especially this late in his career, would expose him even more.

C'mon, this is the real problem and that deals little with Jerry, Stephen, Head Coach/coaches, or Dak Prescott himself...

10) Dallas Cowboys​

Dak Prescott is a statistical darling — perhaps like Tony Romo — and the Cowboys are expected to see some improvements because of their willingness to make moves for players like Brandin Cooks and Luke Schoonmaker. The model is a bit suspect of half of their offensive line, though, so the offense isn’t projected to do all-world numbers.

We've had great offensive lines over the recent past. And what has that yielded? The most one win in the playoffs then out.

Tell me again whose fault is it that we can't take advantage of a dominant line?
