Miles Sanders drops a hint on a new-look offense for Dallas

[charron]

It was encouraging to see the boys run harder/better late in the season last year. Will staff changes translate to a better run game? I hope so. Will they draft a legit back to further help the run game? Time will tell.

Big Mike's offense was busted.

is that an actual stat? Because I can’t see McCaffery averaging 4 yards a carry and gets 3.5 before being touched.

It actually IS a stat and SF averages over 2, but less than 3, yards before contact.

When you change "SF" in the pull down menu to "Teams", you get the entire NFL. Oh, and the stats for Dallas will surprise everyone.

SF sorted yards before contact

when we see at least a fifty fifty run pass ratio in multiple games THEN I will believe it.
Not until.

Do we have the push in the OL for this to happen? May be the new HC realized Dak needs too much pass blocking and going with run first offense and when is working will get pass game sprinkled in and go ….?

One can wish

 

[CyberB0b]

Nice plan, except the offense line is terrible and we have no legitimate running back.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Come on man, that never happens does it?!

NEEEEEE-VEEEERRRRR!!!!!

I meant is that the correct stat because 3.5 seems extremely high.

 

[Verdict]

Sounds like the Cowboys are very serious about getting back to a dominant running offense again. Pretty good article. It gets into the new OL coaches. A physical run game is never a bad thing.

The new running back in town tips the hand of the Cowboys offense and what the plan will be this year.

“The plan for the offense is to go through the run….You don’t get too many places where the offensive coordinator is an offensive line coach, and I know he’s playing a big part in the plan, I’m excited.”

Wouldn’t it be something if we won a SB only passing about 10 percent of the time using Dak as a very limited bus driver (that he is) and paying him $60m per to do it, when we could have just added a bus driver and paid him accordingly?

Schottenheimer has been an assistant coach in the NFL for 25 seasons. Exactly when did “Schotty” develop “his offense”? I don’t believe he fits the mold of modern day NFL coach. Has there ever been an NFL head coach get his first chance at head coach after 25 years as an assistant? Fans have no idea what kind of head coach Brian Schottenheimer is going to be. Jerry doesn’t either. Jerry likes his head coach being beholden to him. Imagine how grateful Schotty is going to be to the owner that gave him his first head coach opportunity in over a quarter century of coaching, college and pros.

He’ll only do as he’s told.

And this, Cowboys fans, is reality.
Head Coach Jones remains.

We said that last year and ended up with Rico and Zeke.

What does that have to do with this year?

 

[big dog cowboy]

I mean if we win the SB do we care how much he he gets paid?

Win a super bowl with Dak? In what reality is that remotely possible? He can't win 2 playoff games in one year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Jerry isn't paying Dak 60M a year to hand the ball off or CD 30M to block............ even if we did have a decent rb.

That is Jerry fault. And Schotty needs to run the team as he sees fit not by how much players are getting paid.

 

[atlantacowboy]

That is Jerry fault. And Schotty needs to run the team as he sees fit not by how much players are getting paid.

Jerry hasn't let a coach run the team since parcels and shotty is no HOF coach.

Jerry built this team. Jerry hired the coaches. Jerry will let it be known if he doesn't like the results of offensive play calling. Clearly running the ball a lot is what we would do but that hasn't stopped Dak yet.

New offense?????? Nope, just another reason for Prescott when he stands on the podium and starts with the, " I need to play better" or " With this new offense, it's going to take more time, so I plan on being better after I sign my 3rd Mega LOTTO contract".

I hated mikes offense.

3.5 is not correct, obviously. I would guess that it was a "swag" guessimate. But Mason did average 2.9 yards before contact across 153 attempts. That is pretty darn good OL play.

I did the math and SF averaged almost exactly 2.5 yards before contact for ALL running plays by Running Backs.

Hmmm. Dallas averaged 2.15 yards before contact, by way of comparison.

Lets see trade up and dont fix the Run D and see if a run first offense helps...or....
let me tell you what running the ball 40 times a game gets you when your down 2 scores....see Chicago with fields...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What does that have to do with this year?

I mean incompetence has been occurring for over 28:years…..but nothing. The past 28 years have nothing to do with this year.

 

[nalam]

As soon the D gives up 6 TD's in a row, we will be forced to abandon the run game.

6 , it will start after 2 , LOL, Even without Mac or Moore still it will be like taht

If Trent Dilfer can win and Eli can in 2? Anything is possible. Rex Grossman made a SB.
