think MM wanted to from day 1.
KM was Jerrys protege after his effort with Garrett failed. Reading between the lines think MM has been trying to get rid of KM for last 2 years. MM saying he made the change to run more is comical-we ran 45% of the time and previous posts say thats around MM's average

Situational play calling it the key.

Anyone that thinks the Cowboys have just upgraded their offensive coordinator will discover they're sadly mistaken. This is a lateral move at best.
Check back after next season.

Maybe the team throws a bunch of resources at the offense- that would do more than changing the OC. The defense wiould suffer then, which will be sad as they are finally putting together a decent defense. Just see how well the strategy of pounding the ball on the ground works when the defense is giving up more yards/ points. Hope I'm wrong.
how is that hurting a defense that already arrived? doesn't need much AT all. heck they spent a ton of draft picks a few years back i believe the entire draft but one player was all defenses. they just signed hooker and kearse, have few decisions to make but this defense isnt suffering. nearly the same d is coming back with a few tweaks. has zero top do with offense at all.in fact they got rid of cooper, ced, turner, jarwin, cwill, and Collins last year , so i assume that's why Moore, MM, and Dak all suffered with lamb and a bunch of dudes at WR, rookie LT new LG new RT LMAO. basically, rebuilt the D over the last 2 seasons while hurting the offense slightly,

which is it? its neither. Back to reality. Talent is always needed, Moore had both, its MM turn.. we do need to improve more on offense in talent.,

Wasn't MM's first season during the epidemic year? No training camp, zoom classes, chaos? Terminology would be difficult to change the second go round as he is implementing his culture face to face year two.

So sticking with KM in year's after may have been pressed by Jerry as a dictate.

Sometimes after reading a thread, I believe heavy drinking and speculation based on the Magic Eight Ball is a requirement here to post, and i didn't get the memo.

OK. But if Dallas takes an OL in the 1st round, WR in the 2nd, RB in the 3rd, and TE in the 4th- nobody can credit MM for an improvement in the offense. That's purely a result of resource allocation.

Don't expect the defense to maintain the same level of performance if all the draft capital goes to offense.

they aren't taking a TE Furgeson, Hendershot, and Mkeon can get it done.

problem solved..
we don't know the draft or FA list yet this year, ok way too soon guy....no ifs and butts, lets let the of build this team remember last year the responses were historically bad off season, year was being organically tanked, not enough talent.. all wrong. fans already overreacting before a team is assembled.

  • FT first
  • FA next
  • Draft
  • training camp
  • cut down
  • find even more talent after cut downs
  • churn the roster.
  • Preseason
  • PLAY THE DANG SEASON at least 9 games
then we can overreact LOL
ok "toosoon" fan base!

I simply ignore those types. Makes my time here much more enjoyable. There's prolly about a dozen posters that will severely affect a person's enjoyment of this site. Ignore them, and your enjoyment will simply be multiplied x a gadzillion.
Yes. There are about a dozen here who intentionally make everything personal. I have absolutely refused to use the ignore feature, because I am not thin skinned, and believe that most of the time it is better to hear divergent points of view rather than only people who agree with me.

But there are one or two that I finally gave up and “ignored” due to the fact that they are intentionally abrasive and in an ideal world you would just beat their $$$ because they have it coming. But we live in a civilized society so, the ignore feature is more appropriate than an $$$ beating. Lol.

MM couldn’t manage the clock or game without calling the plays…how will he do it while also calling them?

Dallas was #4 in the NFL last season in points per game. So yes, it can certainly get worse. A lot worse.

KM is highly regarded throughout the league. He was considered for several head coaching jobs, and got hired immediately after leaving Dallas. Teams around the league think more highly of him than many of the posters in the forum.

I don't the KM was the problem, or was holding this team back last season. A year from now we'll know, and it won't be a subject for debate any longer.

You could talk about regular season rankings all day long, it was the same story once they got into the playoffs. The offense couldn't look any more lost. That was a problem and that #4 offense was a facade, just like when Garrett's offense ranked in the upper echelon. It ultimately meant nothing.

Kellen was Dak's backup because he had Leave It To Beaver's body, and an NFL QBs brain.
