Play Calling: McCarthy > Moore

[Big_D]

You’re seeing the difference between a coach with an actual resume and an OC with only Jerry as his coaching tree. That experience is important and it’s a factor here.

Dak threw 38 times. How is that more balanced than what Moore called?

Balance was almost same number of run plays and TOP. Mac knows Defense cant be exhausted and get short passing and run sledging to keep the offense going ( even settles for FGs , instead of pushing for TDs - conservative ball control offense ) to keep Defense fresh and aggressive , basically improve winning percentage

 

[nalam]

Fan nonsense. Nothing more.

Which you are not .


LOL, JK Risen

Must... resist... making... dwarf tree joke...

This is what tailoring the offense and game plan for Dak looks like. Zero turnovers so far.

 

[Carson]

You guys are no longer interested in 3rd and 7 and we run all go routes?

Or when we average 6 yards a carry we decide to go pass heavy?

Didnt think so.

For me, it’s not even just the lack of turnovers. It’s the footwork and mental clock in his head.

It’s get the ball, take your steps and make your read. Nothing is there dump it off

Like Charlie Browns Christmas tree.

Like Charlie Browns Christmas tree.

Oh. That's better.

 

[Big_D]

Nice to see an actual screen play. And they were facing a top tier defense.

I think it’s been wonderful so far. The OL is making the adjustments based on the defence and the calls are coming in faster so the team can get to the line and deliver at a better tempo. Can’t wait to see what Tyler Smith brings to the line when healthy.

 

[Redline360]

Glad I didn't see

Run up the gut for 2 yards
Screen pass for 1 yard
3 and 7 run to the pilon and turn around
5x a game

Or having recivers bunched up running almost identical routes on one side of the field

 

[CowboyRoy]

And using Turpin appropriately

And Deuce, Luepke, Dowdle, Schoonmaker, ect.....ect.....

 

[eromeopolk]

I have one word for you (or maybe 2)....FULLBACK!

The Big Blue M&M is earning his keep with 2 good games as play caller.

 

[renny]

Don't forget, with linebackers and corners sitting on the routes.

 

[kskboys]

McCarthy is attacking the areas of the field that Moore ignored for years with big results.

Well put.

 

[kskboys]

I’m kinda underwhelmed to be honest. Offense definitely is not clicking on all 12 cylinders that I can tell. Dak high % in completions but does anything really stand out? Weird game imo…

Yes sir, it does. TOP. We are possessing the ball for large chunks of time. Driving down the field reminiscent of Emmit and Troy. This is how you win super bowls.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Situational awareness is better. Moore would’ve had Dak lofting prayers into the end zone on some of those third and longs in the red zone.

Yep and no need to force anything, just punt it and let the defense score

 

[gimmesix]

Red zone O was terrible but MM is light years ahead of Kellen in managing a game and playing complimentary football

I don't know if the play-calls were bad, though. Dak had two players open on his missed throw to Ferguson in the end zone, and Hendershot would have likely scored if he would have turned his run in instead of trying to take it wide. Maybe the fault with that one was handing it to Hendershot.
