Play calling

[Joe_Fan]

This is true. The RBBC is killing this offense. Randle flat out sucks and I don't see why we keep giving him the ball. We need to see more from Cmike. He seems like the best back that we have.

I agree. We've tried the RBBC and it failed. A real coach would learn from the mistakes and move on from it. Unfortunately we have a stubborn coach who'd rather stick with a failed approach than adjust.

The coaching is horrible. JG had a great opportunity to send a message to the team after Randle's stunt last week but yet he starts again. It's not working. He's just a JAG. Weeden gotta go too. If they are both starting after the bye, won't have to worry about making the playoffs. These are winnable games but not with this bad coaching.

I'm more upset with play design than play calling. When you watch the Patriots pass offense every single route is designed and run with a specific purpose, then you watch our pass offense and its just 3 or 4 guys running in a straight line down the field.

What's worse is the design they do have plays right into the hands of the defense. The rollout plays to the right are an example. Everyone knows Weeden is right handed, so they cheat that way already. These plays just shrink the field even more to that side.

Well, you have McFadden and Michael behind him. Both career JAGs.

The problems with our offense started in the off-season. In the NFL you can't run the exact same offense in back to back seasons. I don't blame the personnel, because the Offensive Coordinator had to know that everyone in the NFL watched our tape from last year, and the same plays would not work this season like they did last season. Yet, our staff defiantly said they were going to run the ball like last year.

We need to come out of the bye week with a radically different approach. I had high hopes watching the Giants game with the new offensive wrinkles, then they seemingly disappeared, and we started playing exactly the same plays/sequences as last year.

Incorrect. We don't know what Michael can do yet. But he is the most talented RB on the roster and he gets one carry.

You know exactly what he can do, but you don't want to admit it.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

our offense is boring to watch. its hard to watch too. Gawd I miss me some Tony Romo.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Vanilla play-calling+Weedon+no credible running game=losses

 

[Deep_South]

McFadden is averaging 3.5 yards a carry. Time for him to ride the pine for a while and see what C-Mike can do for us.

I understand the injuries, but the lack of creativity on offense is puzzling.

This exactly the time when you would like to see the coaching staff go into its bag of tricks instead of running the SOS vanilla attack.

The Pats run those rub routes every other play and basically dare the refs to flag them every time, which of course they don't. I would have liked to have seen just ONE of those to get our pedestrian WR corps open.

And WHERE in the world is Gavin Escobar?

 

[Muhast]

Where are the slants and shallow crossing routes that are staples of most pro offenses?

Escobar caught TD passes, we dont do that in Cowboy Nation, we just want to run mediocrity and clap about it.

puzzling is an understatement.

What was the point of the secrecy this week? I saw nothing new or imaginative with formations, plays, or personnel. And did they throw the bubble screen out of the playbook? Couldnt a few of those gained some yards on first down rather than a run right into the line? I just scratch my head as to what these offensive coaches do all week....

 

[PoundTheRock]

You hear all of those stories about coaches working 80 hour weeks. Garrett is home by 4:30 PM every day.

He might work on clapping until 5:15PM or so.

Josh McDaniels put on a clinic. He is hamstrung by 5' 0" wide outs, but has produced one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL.

Yeah, be the best RB on this team. You are the one in denial.

The guy who can't get more than a carry from McFadden or Randle, and I am the one in denial? LOL!!!!!
