Misplaced Linehan Rage

[CalPolyTechnique]

I dislike Garrett and Linehan as much as the next fan (if not more in the case of Garrett), but has anyone given thought that the offense (particularly the passing game) is oversimplified and predictable as a byproduct of the QB?

The reality is we don't have a guy with arm talent back there that's comfortable sitting in the pocket, making his progressions and throwing receivers open.

Instead, our passing game is stripped down to predominantly quick reads, comeback routes where a receiver is running to a spot waiting for the ball.

I would also add if your QB has to be rolled-out or use PA to try to create throwing windows and separation for receivers so your QB can feel comfortable making a throw, you're severely handicapping your offense.

I want Garrett and Linehan gone today, but replacing him doesn't make Dak more accurate, poised or savvy.

Two things can be equally true: 1) Garrett and Linehan are part of the problem and 2) Dak is not the answer

If they can't coach him up, bench him or get fired.

No because the offense was bland and basic with Romo as well.


Linehan took that offense and handed the ball of more in it.

The difference is Romo is not here to run around and extend bad plays. Dak has to run the bad plays because he doesn't extend plays often.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Whatever Dak is, that dosen't excuse the absurdity of running on every first down and not using Dak on the read option when it has repeadedly worked in prior games when the game and season clearly needed it and called for it.

Newton has looked immensely better with a new OC. No reason we should not see if that can help here.

 

[agk136]

It's the coaches job to put all players in the position to succeed.

 

[Batman1980]

Linehan is trash, period.

 

[jazzcat22]

Linehan is trash, period.

The entire offense scheme is as well.
Linehan, Garrett, Moore all need to go.
Well the entire offensive staffs needs to go.
And most the one on defense.

Romo had a mastery of the offense and the uncommon ability to read defenses and adjust.

His best and most efficient seasons were in his 30s when he was far less mobile.

 

[glimmerman]

This Offense isn’t stripped down or simplified for Dak. It’s wide open. It’s a 90’s playbook that consists of index card with about 7 plays. Linehan has to call plays from JG playbook. He playcalling has predictable timing.

We need a OC with his own playbook. Some creative stuff. If we got him during the season the team would have a chance to install it and get practice at it during real game speed instead of practice.

Did we ever see Romo without the ability to extend plays? That was the majore staple of his game. Always.

 

[Aviano90]

We need another Troy Aikman. Can't find him if we won't spend draft capital on the most important position on the team.

 

[acr731]

They have no one to coach him up. At least Romo had Parcels throwing out pointers and criticism. All Garrett does is clap if you screw up and clap more if you do good. There's no coaching, no communication, and no interaction whatsoever. Who the heck is stepping to help the kid or point out problem areas when he flubs up?

I think Marinelli was calling the Defense plays last night. It didn’t look the same.

The difference is, good coaching works with players strength more than expecting players to always conform to them.................a good example was when philly signed Murray after he won the NFL rushing title......Kelly tried to turn a N/S runner into an E/W runner and ended an ultimate fail...and quite likely shortened his career.....coaching makes a huge difference....Belichic is a kind of coach that has often turned mediocre talent into very good players...it's not by magic.

 

[Grevus]

Linehan and Garrett should be gone at the end of year. You keep Dak only because he's cheap and let him fight for a starting job next year. Bring in a new coach and let him decide if Dak goes or not. Right now, we don't have a replacement, so Dak is it until then.

 

[Kaiser]

I'm fine getting rid of the offensive coaches but they didn't exactly make coaching decisions to have their two top WRs completely disappear, go into the season with 4 TEs when none of them are starting quality and then lose the OL captain. You can put the OL technique problems on Alexander however.

You can put the red zone pick on Dak and that was a disaster, but the biggest issue yesterday was the defense basically never stopped the Titans on 3rd down. You can't beat a college team that way and TN converted almost every single 3rd down that wasn't a sack by the Dallas DL. The Titans converted 11 - 14 3rd down attempts when the NFL average is around 40%

I agree it's like having a team full of Shaq's and everyone wondering why you don't shoot 3s like the Warriors. There's a reason on third and 10+ we throw a screen pretty much every time, Linehan doesn't trust Dak. Pretty much every issue we have with our offense goes back to inadequate qbing, bad line play, struggling running game, wr-te production, it all falls on Dak and the decision to put all our eggs in that basket in 2016.

Dak can check out of any run and Decide to call a Pass . He doesnt

So stop blaming Linehan because he has no sacks .

NFL QB's can audible out of any play . Dak is just without any nuts

Agreed. We need a QB who can overcome the ineffective minds of his coaches.

He had Romo and Sanchez his rookie year, now he has Rush and White. Lol
