I'm really anxious to see the new offense against the Giants. Cowboys have the weapons to run so many different plays. They haven't been good at the screen in many years. That's always been something I never understood. Maybe with Kellen gone the will figure it out and at least be decent at it. I'm expecting a more diversified offense now and running an effective screens and draws to be a part of it is a big step in the right direction.

Ball needs to come out quickly and accurately for those screens to work, it's not just the guys catching and blocking. I still have nightmares when we threw the dang ball to the DE.

I've heard coaches say they don't run more screens because it takes so much dedicated time at practice to make sure the execution is right.

I like him. This is the first time I've ever heard an interview with him. Love his attitude and positivity. The philosophy makes sense. Someday he might be a Head Coach. He gives off that vibe. Gives me a Dan Quinn type genuine feel. He seems like a guy the players would play hard for. My main worry is short yardage. Can we get the tuff yards in the run with the backs we have?

A lot is going to fall on Oline Coach Mike Solari to make sure he has his linemen in tip top shape and both physically and mentally be able to run those screens and draws. If the Oline breaks down, so will them plays.
bingo. If we have 1 big question mark, that's it. If we can figure that out, we might be very good.

Yes, Yes, YES!! Unreal that this team couldn't execute a simple screen during Moore's tenture as the oc.
heck we didn't really run screens at all for the last 25 years. Really weird.
