The one big change that could get Dak Prescott back on track
https://goo.gl/SuTamy
Interesting to see someone make the diagnosis back in 2016 before the season was done.
Solution:
I also think that some max protect and really attacking the isolated press man coverage on Dez and Williams would have helped, although doing the same with Butler would have been even better.
Another interesting point:
I did feel that in 2016 we did a lot more short, quick horizontal routes than our usual vertical routes. Much like the Jon Kitna era. Daj got the backup QB's offense. We got the ball out of Dak's hands quickly. I've never seen any analysis to confirm that, however.
The Kitna offense rolled pretty well. Felix was tremendously effective as receiver out of the backfield. Almost 10 yards per target, 90% completion rate. Making the reads short to long is the opposite of the long to short reads of Garrett's Coryell offense. It also backs off the dline, and particularly the DEs. It always would have helped our offense. I really hoped that they would continue with that when Tony came back, that they would have actually *learned* something by that. But no. We went back to the same old same old once Tony came back in 2011.
Garrett sticks with the Coryell when he has his starting QB. Makes life easier on the QB by getting the ball out of his hands sooner when he has a backup.
That's what it looked like to me to start the year. Dak was no longer the backup, and so he no longer got the backup offense *that worked so well*. They gave him the starter offense. And had him making a million pre snap adjustments too, just like they did with Tony.

Opposing defenses have figured out how to beat Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense.
The book on how to do it is in the public domain.

1. Cornerbacks are able to win one-on-one against receivers, allowing safeties to play back on passing downs and up on rushing downs
Solution:
Create more time
The Cowboys need to take a page out of the Seahawks’ playbook and get Prescott out of the pocket often Sunday and beyond.

taking away a lot of short routes that the Cowboys’ West Coast-style passing game needs to be effective.
