Offensive Adjustments

[TheMarathonContinues]

Switzer has been a giant disappointment. He fumbled and now he looks like a guy just trying not to make a mistake. I really thought he would of made more of an impact.

I knew this would happen. There was no reason for us to have him and Beasley.....it's the Witten effect.....hes not getting more snaps unless Beasley is hurt. He's insurance for Beasley and that makes no sense to me.

if the Eagles have a weakness— its their cornerbacks.

I would exploit that by going with a short passing game to mitigate their pass rush. I would put Switz and Beasley on the field at the same time and throw short option routes at the slot all day.

Precise, quick, dink and dunk is how I would start out moving the ball... move the pocket, get Dak on the edge and stress them with his legs, let him run— then when they creep up to play his runs— THEN you burn them over the top to Butler and Dez.

There are plays to be made against this Philly D... and I believe if we start out hot we can plant a seed of doubt in their minds, and gain some much needed confidence for our team

Excellent, excellent post. If we can see it and Garrett cant?

I see them either going 2 TE or spread them out 4 wide.

For today's game?

You are right. This season is so frustrating

 

[Verdict]

Exactly but the question isn't Switz playing? My guess either they don't trust him or they don't wanna take plays from Witten....

My goodness we can't take plays from old man Witten. He forbids it.

 

[Verdict]

Smith isn’t playing.

I expect us to either have the lead or be tied at half time.

Eagles will adjust to our game plan and in true Garrett fashion we won’t make any adjustments, and we’ll see multiple 3 and outs in the 2nd half then blame the defense for giving up 30 points and the “fire marinelli” threads will emerge

That sounds about right. Are you clairvoyant or have you been hanging out with Georgio from the Ancient Aliens tv series? I kid. We have seen this movie before haven't we?

We come up with some really valid ideas in the off season, but they never come to pass because we cater to Witten and Dez. Both are progress stoppers at this point.

 

[haleyrules]

Bring in Looney at TE to help our LT and run the ball rigjt at then. They will be sending the house and get caught. 3 man routes are all we need against an attacking defense. We won' have time for a four man progression anyway.

Nice. That is what you should be doing. Education is everything.

Agreed. Witten is still one of my all time favourite Cowboys.

Mine too, but damn, no one is more important than team success.

 

[mardwin]

Quick passing game would mitigate their passrush... We have to adapt our identity as an offense to succeed without Zeke and Smith.

This coaching staff is stubborn and slow to adjust anything though lol. I can only hope they got scared straight after last week lol

Unfortunately this is not an offense that attacks opposite defenses. The common logic would be to add some wrinkles like quick passes and screens to keep them honest but we already know our coaching staff thought process.

Offensive adjustments? What is that?

How about just replacing Dez with Switzer/Brown...

We should do that since Dez has been so ineffectual. It would help us decide if we want to move on without him next year .

 

[CCBoy]

Philadelphia has out scored opponents by the end of the 3rd quarter...3 to 1 in points.

Break this steady play, and Dallas has a chance.

Can you just park your car in his driveway before the next away game and see if he misses the plane? Then the offense can flow without Dak having to listen to Dez ranting and raving about not getting 10 passes the 1st 10 snaps.

 

[pitt33]

Dak also needs to step up in the pocket. He hardly ever does that. As an NFL quarterback, that is critical to the success of the offense. Step up and deliver.

I would love it if they played him at 1tech. Seeing him get flattened snap after snap would be funny. When he refused to continue, void his contract on the spot...
