Play calling

[BrAinPaiNt]

You know I was upset with it the last few weeks but frankly with Weeden at the helm iI am not sure it makes much difference. Grrrrrr

We really need that "Kill, kill, Omaha, Omaha" guy back.

Scott is hamstrung by the fact that he clearly doesnt trust Weeden.

JG has zero heart, I'm convinced that Romo changing at the line is the reason for all the success.

What's the over and under on the number of complaints in this thread that will actually be about play calling?

Well the run on first down is getting old but they are limited with Weeden and guys who can't catch or run the ball.

Garrett had to coach today and he failed like 2013.

 

[JohnsKey19]

The organization has failed big time.You've got your team in a position where it is a CHALLENGE to complete a downfield pass after the injuries to 2 players. I'm sorry, Dez and Romo are obviously key players but what we're watching now is not acceptable regardless of the circumstance.

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.

I'll buy this, since I don't think he failed as a coach in 2013, either.

Cmike and 1 more carry!!! And in that carry looked better than all of our backs!

Go ahead, start this off with the second field goal call.

I chuckled once when they ran on first and got nothing, and then went play-action on second and ten. This was, I believe when even Simms was like they need to mix things up...

They are playing run on first and you try and make the defense bite on second, when you got to go long?

Horrible play-calling..

 

[Yakuza Rich]

It's still too predictable. They have to either crap or get off the pot with Weeden. Given him some less predictable play calling and if he makes ill advised throws and/or misses guys deep...then bench him. Even if Weeden was throwing the ball well, this type of predictable play calling...particularly on 1st down...just isn't going to rack up many points. You're basically dead in the water with this type of playcalling anyway...so mix things up a bit and see if maybe things get going that way and if they don't....yank Weeden out of there.

Damn, you lose already! Too easy, try again.

Scott is hamstrung by a front office that won't let him play his guy...and keeps shoving career backups down his throat. @ this point......Kellen Moore should ask for his release

 

[Tabascocat]

It is the scheme which results in bad play calls. It is mundane and outdated and doesn't put players in a position to succeed.

 

[Clove]

Run on first down, no pick plays for our doofus receiving core, trying to run the ball down 21 points, not even attempting to throw deep, when guys are in single coverage, not changing up protection into zone when it's obvious they are picking, the list goes on.

Scott is hamstrung by the fact that he clearly doesnt trust Weeden.

So at this point, you have to wonder who it was that made Weeden the backup? It's either the scheme that is terrible, or the backup QB. If the playcalling is that limited by your backup, you have to start questioning the decision to make him the backup.

in 2 carries C-mike has looked better than DMC has all season
