After last night’s 23-13 loss at Green Bay, the league has Schotty and this scheme figured out.
The old formula to beat the Cowboys was simple: long, sustained drives that keep their offense off the field. That still works. But what’s new, and more damning, is that even when this offense is on the field, it no longer matters.
Schotty’s attack is pass-happy and one-dimensional.
They rank 31st in the NFL in rushing at just 76 yards per game.
Against Green Bay they managed 48.
Ten days earlier against Tampa Bay they had 50.
Meanwhile Dak is forced into nights like 54 pass attempts at a putrid 4.8 yards per attempt.
When you refuse to run the ball, defenses load the box, sit on the pass, and dare you to beat them.
Green Bay and Tampa Bay both did exactly that.
Look at the collapse. Early in the season they were scoring 30+.
The last two games? A combined 29 points.
They were shut out 17-0 in the first half last night for the first time since 2021.
Two interceptions. No identity. No sustained drives of their own.
Just a predictable, pass-first offense that can’t punish teams for selling out against the run.
Schotty is 9-13-1 as a head coach.
The same problems keep repeating. No commitment to the run game, soft early downs, and zero visible adjustments. Opponents know the formula now, control the clock and dare this offense to beat you through the air.
Both parts are working.
This team keeps showing up unprepared and unwilling. Winning a soft NFC East doesn’t fix any of it. It just means he gets another year while the rest of the league continues to prove they’ve already solved him.
