The man was dialing up some plays last night on a night where the run yards were tough to come by. Moore continues to use play action to put men in motion and attacked the soft areas of the zones. People say other teams has a blue print of Dallas well that blue print got shredded last night

I'm real hard on Moore. One of his worst critics. But he called an excellent game, I have to give him credit. I didn't see him being able to outscheme Bowles. But he did.

He will need to be as equally clever against the Niners defense. Maybe even moreso.

I've gone at him numerous times, all year. He did well last night. He and Dak work hand-in-hand, no getting around that. QB play well, OC looks well. QB play bad, OC looks shaky.
All because an OC already knows (should) strengths & weaknesses BEFORE we do, for QB, for other skill positions, and OL. Last night, KMoore you deserve your props.

The difference in play calls from last week to yesterday was huge. Looked obvious to me they were holding back vs Washington. Was like a whole new coaching staff came in and installed a new offense.

I agree it looked more like the Cowboys offense that put up big points on Philly 3 weeks back. I said after the Washington loss that the offense looked vanilla not much to it I don't think they threw the game but clearly Dallas had a lot they were not showing.

He definitely pulled out some of the ‘good plays’ last night.

His red zone calls were definitely on point against TB. The one thing we struggled with was running it up the gut on them. That usually results in settling for FG once you get to the RZ. But KM was able to scheme up plays all night resulting in wide open passes or runs down in their zone.

Only an idiot would refuse to give Moore props for the game he called last night. I absolutely LOVED how he kept the running game in no matter how meager the gains were early. And we saw as the game wore on the little 1-2 yard runs turned into 4-5 yard runs and occasionally popped for a 10+ yard run. And making Tampa continue to have to honor it opened up some GAPING holes in the coverage. It was what we talk about here every damn day. Never let the defense dictate what you do.. Take what the defense gives you but if you don't like what they are giving you go take what you want. The interior run blocking was sub par but it did just enough damage to make the other stuff go.

- Big difference with 1st Bucs game in season opener loss, was Kellen kept involving the run game .. although there was times in this
where i thought we went back to too much shot-gun formation - and that predictable draw play run outta shot gun.

- But Kellen didn't conservatively water it down to dink dunk- just because we're on the road, playing Tom Brady and the grass field.
and he designed some runs to the edge for Pollard instead of stubbornly ramming it inside vs Vita Vea and Hicks.

- Great Boot leg roll out call for a wide open Dak walk in TD - Bucs completely fooled by it .!

No doubt.
People were running free and wide open all day. A few of our TDs had nobody within several yards of the receiver.
It was beautiful.

Yards Dak picked up with his legs early in the game put TB defense on their heels.
Absolutely.
Once the playoffs start, no holds barred.
It seemed to take TB off guard.
Great stuff
