Schotty's offense will be different that MM. It will be more run based with more play action

[jazzcat22]

Play action does not work when you can't run the ball.

If we draft a top running back, our run game will be improved by osmosis, if you want to give the credit to BS, go ahead.

Run it back with our same RB's from last year and I would love to see how play action is going to work.

They will draft a RB. Well they better draft a RB.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yea we gonna try to draft Jeanty

I rather have Judkins or Henderson from Ohio State.
I was not impressed with Jeanty in their bowl game.

 

[jazzcat22]

Safe bet if he is still there, plus Jerral wants to sell some jerseys.

Judkins or Henderson.

You do not have to drink it. There is a kool aid field over by the asthma field for fans.

Oh, I don't drink kool aid. But it does not mean those who don't to go to that field.

That is correct but if you add a little vodka to it it tones down the sweetness and you're able to watch Cowboys games much calmer..lol.

They can drink all they want, I like water myself.

I wouldn't go that far he would not be a bad pick at #12 but he is not the draft or bust I get that people are making it like that would be so good I don't see him making it to 12...

And there are far more names than Henderson or Judkins, I'd rather have Henderson he's a little bit faster a little bit more of a creator on the field I don't care what the numbers say I watched the game closely 'cause they played the Texas Longhorns my team and I've seen them play Jeff kins reminds me of Ezekiel Elliott which isn't a bad thing but if I had to choose I'm taking Henderson.. I know it's crazy too because the other two options were the two from Penn State but they decided not to declare they were very similar to that Ohio State backfield 1 was a little bigger stronger one was faster like I wanted Singleton but Henderson and Singleton are a lot alike....

there's some really good running backs in this draft,

I think the Cowboys should double dip get one in the second or third round and you get another one in the fifth round I saw Miami and The Jets do it..

I think you get two different types of running backs and just go young there that's a way to save on the salary cap you don't need to pay Rico and it depends on what rico's asking but I prefer to get two young fresh Max because we need a run game like we did in 2016 to go with Schottenheimer's offense that would be very helpful this upcoming season for sure..

Good post.

Good post.

Well, thank you except for all the typos that I didn't get back quick enough to edit before they cut off editing lol

I think my point is you can go back and use 2016 as a reference you know learning experience Ezekiel Elliott was not a bad pick I still don't think it was a bad pick however when you look at how that draft worked out for running backs and Henry went in the second round that's probably going to be very similar to this season there is a lot of really good backs and you should not reach for need even though we got an explosive back, There maybe many of equal value/talent in lower rounds..

 

[Cmac]

True, but that has nothing to do with what he said.

nate dizzle......he talked about media scouts....I'm talking about play-action regarding what media scouts "declare".............who is media scouts and who is a moderator now does not dispel play action ain't gonna work if it's not respected?

 

[khiladi]

So basically return to the Linehan play calling that people say was a Garrett offense, but nothing like it as far as play-calling is concerned.. the same guy the Dak fanboys said was the problem and the reason why 2017 and 2018 happened and why they didn’t bring him back..

too bad we don’t have a top flight OL and Zeke running against stacked boxes more than any other team in the league..

 

[khiladi]

And BTW, that was supposedly was the reason Moore left and why MM took over the play-calling. He said he was going to run the ball and no wear down the defense.

Looks like they are just selling this as Dak-centered being shackled after paying him the contract, when they’ve been catering to this mediocrity ever since he’s been here.

 

[khiladi]

Zeke was drafted to play with Romo. If they didn’t bench Romo, then all the stacked boxes the QB was seeing to at least 2018 would have been exploited.

I would have loved to see that offense run with Tony and Zeke.

 

[phildadon86]

Not everyone can Larp at being an edgelord like you.

I admit when things are bad.

I also admit when things are good.

They could have brought Garrett back and Rambo would have been cheering. That’s the difference. Fans who take whatever Jerry gives them will never enact any change.

Unfortunately fans who want change can’t make it happen because there are too many fans like Rambo who make Jerry believe he’s doing the right thing.

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/20...ys-ezekiel-elliott-expected-points-added-epa/

This was in 2018, let alone 2016:

Elliott’s down EPA numbers might seem like a cause for concern, but perhaps even more context is necessary before dismissing him completely.

Rushing success is often predicated by the number of defenders in the box. According to Next Gen Stats, Elliott faced eight defenders in the box on 24.67 percent of his rush attempts.

No one above him on this list had more than 215 carries.

Considering that Elliott had 304 rushes, the number of stacked boxes he had to face throughout the season was demoralizing. This does explain some of his efficiency woes in 2018, and the hope is that Moore can scheme up some better looks in the run game.

Elliott’s rushing EPA simply states that as a team, the Cowboys were not as efficient. Despite seeing so many stacked boxes, Dallas continued to run right into them.

Four points here:

1. People don’t see this type of impact from a defensive game planning strategy. Defenses were stacking the box, meaning Zeke was the primary driver of this offense and Dak got to face a lot of man coverage.

2. This is why I didn’t mind Zeke sitting out for the contract, as his workload and impact in those first few years was insane.

3. Defenses wouldn’t have that luxury of stacking boxes as much with Romo and this would have made life better for Zeke as well. His first few years he had the ability to take it to the house. We would have seen a lot of big plays.

4. Defenses are playing a lot of cover 2 now. Dak isn’t good against zone and the RB and OL have to be above to force the defense to play closer to the line. Dak isn’t even a threat to extend plays anymore with his legs.

Moore isn't the HC there. He may have orders to lean on Barkley and not deviate.
I remember when Jimmy Johnson and Norv Turner were here.
Jimmy started a post game PC with the words: "I called up to Norv in the press box and told him I want to milk the clock in the 4th quarter drives. I want to see more Emmitt runs and less passes!"
Guessing maybe Nick Siaranni had a similar convo with Moore.

And that right there is why I prefer the OC be the play-caller. Let the HC manage the overall game. Who is going to tell the HC/OC to do something different? I guess it would be Jerry here.

 

[Chasing6]

Yep.....poor scouting, poor player evaluation, and poor player development will rear their ugly heads again......with poor roster formulation. Jeanty & Hampton.....you will not be coming to Dallas.

I still strongly believe playoff football is won in the trenches. Everyone else's job gets significantly easier, when you dominate line of scrimmage.

 

[JustChip]

They will draft a RB. Well they better draft a RB.

Just not round 1. Jeanty may be the best move for some teams. But there are other choices that will be available in later rounds that will be a significant upgrade to this team’s RB room. Go defense round 1.

That is the problem with the Jones, They will then say same thing in round 2, and hope and pray something is still available. Next think you know we will be in round 5 looking for a RB, and did not improve our OLine in FA.

 

[Trajan]

Thought Dak didn’t prefer laying under center ? Wasn’t the plan to create something Dak is comfortable with ?
