Ray Lewis says Cowboys Offense doesn't scare anyone

[Idgit]

Some are still under the impression the scheme doesn't matter.

Schemes matter, of course. That's not the same thing as saying the problem in Dallas is the scheme, just because the scheme is predictable.

it didnt matter when Emmitt Smith was running for all time great yards
same plays over and over, throw to Irvin on 3rd if you need to

they didnt care what you know or what you did
neither did Cowboys last year

It's not the only problem but it is a problem. It's more concerning when the other coaches/players keep mentioning this and we don't do much about it.

You are not going to always have better talent. The 90's teams were loaded. Their backups could have started for most teams. Even Emmitt alluded to this during his visit on NFL network this morning.

When the talent levels are equal between the two teams, it usually comes down to coaching/scheme who wins.

I don't think we consider it necessarily a negative.

the coach hisself,, Linehan, other teams coaches and players everybody, EVERYBODY including you and me know

what is the identity of the Dallas Cowboys?

well on offense they going to run first, they going to wear you down, grind your time spent with your offense on a bench
on defense, rally to ball prevent big plays and tackle well.

we are not running well because the line has 40% change, Witten playing poorly maybe hurt who knows
defense no Lee and Church was a big loss, but I think Woods will change that soon.

You are right, some teams have better talent but its very unusual or rare to have what Denver has right now.
our team is built to do one thing and do it very very well. run the ball. and with Chaz and La el we have failed so far otherwise we have some running game verses Denver. they are great so they win some yes but we compete at the highest level. but we cant because the line. thats the thing defenses not scared of.

if that line gels people suddenly going to rethink the nobody scared part

 

[DejectedFan1996]

Romo said something yesterday during the Pats game about the offense in Dallas being all vertical and never having option routes with his receivers until Cole Beasley developed

Anyone else hear that?

Yup said all our plays were long developing plays with WR’s running 20 yards down the field.

Garrett is friggin terrible

 

[LittleD]

Ok but 30 points you should win that game.

Should be 3-1.... but we’re not!



Dak should give packers a dose of Rodgers-type-play and run to win the game. Game plan be damned!

You have to give it to the Ram's coaches...they adjusted to what Dallas was doing and our coaches couldn't adjust in the
second half. Come to think about it, they don't ever seem to be able to adjust.

 

[links18]

The differential between halves is trivial on a points basis-one extra rushing TD's difference through four games.

Iirc, though, all of Dak's picks did come in the 2nd half so far. Some of that was the game situation in Denver. I guess the Rams pick would qualify, too.

We scored 16 points in the first half against the Giants, only 3 in the second. We posted 24 in the first half against the Rams, 6 in the second. Similarly, we were shut out completely in the first quarter against the Cardinals. Don't ask me about the Denver game, because I gave myself a concussion right after it, so I would forget. We either have problems with slow starts, or problems closing out games. Consistency hasn't been a strong suit so far. Granted some of this is dictated by game situation in the second half, but we weren't trying to run out the clock last week and only manged 6 points, after looking darn near unstoppable in the first half.

by the way that team? that team was built Tony Romo friendly. not pound your defense till they tired to see you.
only thing Romo said is he wanted shorter stuff
then he said so they brought in Beasley
Romo WAS the offense. he was who you scared of or not.
until Demarco Dallas had no run game not even Barber was the main threat
it was always stop Romo somehow, you win

 

[DiResta]

Garrett says we dont care what you do, its about us. he tells his team execute and you can win. if you dont execute you can lose. simple
if you dont execute on that play, forget it.
execute the next one.
its all very simple really.
the only reason people saying anything is because winning cures all
and we not winning because why?
see above

 

[visionary]

Idgit is still one of my favorites. Even though we fight like Tom and Jerry. His affections for Clappy are a bit much, but you have to admire his loyalty.

So you consider misinformed delusion "admirable"?

Easy to throw around 'misinformed.' From where I'm sitting, you're the one slinking away 10 times out of 10 when you do actually engage in a topic other than outright bashing the team or another poster.

You got information, we're all down for being informed. Nobody's stopping you from participating in this topic, for example.

Have a take worth sharing?

 

[Bullet22]

He is right our offense is pure Vanilla. When you stop the run this offense can't do anything because of the pop warner plays. Would love to see this team with a creative offensive co-ordinator.

Dez and Williams make the circus catch and miss the easy one's too much, plus Witten is not the same player anymore...I agree we should have kept Leary..

 

[Chuck 54]

It's the same offense that scared everyone last year, an offense that dominated. The difference is execution. The OL must improve and gel as a unit, and everyone must execute better.

When the offense rolls, everyone is happy..."the offense is our best defense." When the offense struggles, "the offense is too simple; Linehan is a terrible playcaller; Garret's offense is outdated."

If the players execute, there are no problems with the offense.

 

[JD_KaPow]

It's not the only problem but it is a problem. It's more concerning when the other coaches/players keep mentioning this and we don't do much about it.

We're too busy scoring 28-30 points to do much about it.

The issue is that knowing you can't run because you are missing 40% of the players from last year, the coaches are still doing what they did last year as though they still have the same line. That's just insane. They need to make adjustments and quick.

 

[JD_KaPow]

You have to give it to the Ram's coaches...they adjusted to what Dallas was doing and our coaches couldn't adjust in the
second half. Come to think about it, they don't ever seem to be able to adjust.

One week ago, all the talk on this board was about the tremendous adjustments made by our coaches against Arizona.

And the adjustments the Rams made primarily amounted to "get the Dallas receivers to drop passes."

 

[DiResta]

I agree we should have kept Leary..

this impossible to know though
Chaz played very well for Tyron, his only problem was he got tired and started holding later in game plus his health has really cost him millions. he would be starting somewhere if not for injuries history
Bell and Cooper both exciting prospects but there was no way to know as long as Leary was still playing here and keeping him would mean losing someone else later i think.
i dont blame them for letting him try FA, it just hasnt worked out well so far
