When the Cowboys officially made the decision to move on from Scott Linehan and find a new offensive coordinator, a lot of fans were hopeful that it would be someone from outside the organization that could bring in an offensive system similar to the prolific offenses of the Rams, Chiefs, and Saints.

In the end, the Cowboys stayed in-house and promoted quarterbacks coach Kellen Moore to offensive coordinator, which seems to strongly suggest that Dallas believes it has the correct offensive scheme in place, but they just want a new play-caller to mix in some creativity and unpredictability. That means that the Cowboys won’t be overhauling their scheme, which has its roots in what’s known as Air Coryell. In order to first understand what Moore might bring to this offense, there must be an understanding of Air Coryell.

It has often been said by many that there are three basic offensive schemes: the West Coast offense, the Erhardt-Perkins offense, and the Air Coryell offense. The reality is that in today’s NFL, every offense has elements of these three schemes incorporated into their playbooks, but there are distinct differences in verbiage and philosophy between the three. The Air Coryell is named so because of Don Coryell, who became the first head coach to ever win over 100 games at both the college and professional level...

Bother to read and then expand the presented applications, first...

The offense we've run since Garrett took over is in NO WAY like Air Coryell, Norv's or anybody else's from that era. Garrett's, Linehan's offenses were closest to WCO's Jason's being a little more vertical and Linehan's being much more horizontal . Our only hope is a return to the hybrid they developed for Daks rookie year, and continue to develop it. Of course it all predicated upon creative play calling.
Don would puke if he heard any part of the scheme we've run the last few years was being compared to his.

That is what they said when linehan took over, so that does not bode well.

The article extended the three types in applications...but still, the type of principals was relevant.

Now in functions, what does a team's offensive line have to do with success...as well as receiver group?

Sounds more like a Mob offense that goes out and kills other defenses.

Seems like a major typo as we are more under the cupcake playbook with some Zeke sprinkles added in.

This team doesn't have the personnel to run Air Coryell.
Hey. That rhymed

yeah, I think NFL offenses use some of all three types. As far as Moore, all I can do is hope he's ok as a first time OC. Was that Amelia Erhardt... with an "a" instead of an "h" eh

Interesting read. I remember Air Coryell from the StL Cards back in the day. They threw the ball all over the field. Defenses knew they were in for a long day when defending against the Cards. I see certain similarities with the 90s Cowboys, but none in the Romo years or now. I'm not sure it's a good fit for Dak.

That was a really, really good history on the genetics of our offensive scheme.

That is what I remember, and a team would need a QB like Rodgers, and some good receivers to make it work.
No team is going to run the pure offense that people ran from those times now, and when you change things, it may
change the effectiveness.

The jones and even linehan said the same thing, that he was just going to be creative and tweak existing plays.
No new playbook.
Teams know our playbook so well now , especially the div opponents, it makes it easier to defend.
Talent and the players overcome the playbook at times, but their playbook is a weakness.

I read previously kellen would have a free hand to do whatever, so just have to wait and see what we do see when
regular season starts.

Running any scheme and sticking to it for long time is not good,defenses are very adaptive.
It is better to come up with new scheme for the players that you have, not force them to run some scheme
they are not suited to run.

We are just starting to see the applied elements that are being developed. We really have no clue as to function, beyond the point that we have been forewarned that a more sophisticated approach will be used and the Cowboys will more often force an opponent to show his stance taken before the ball is snapped...

and we all shall see how the Red Zone develops up this coming season. 'Proof in the pudding.'

That is what they said when linehan took over, so that does not bode well.

Linehan was a passing coordinator, then after they hire them two years later they draft Zeke and tell him to direct a run-oriented offense. He was out of place so he was doomed for failure as soon as they drafted Zeke. Sort of feel sorry for Linehan, he came here with Romo in place, then when Tony left, he was left to try and run an offense he isn't trained for...
