Tampa's Mike Evans says the Cowboys are simple

[lukin2006]

Of course they are simple…Mike McCarthy is a fraud head coach.

I would love to have a legit coach…

According to Mike Evans of the TB Bucs, we have a lot of talent but run simple schemes that are easy to figure out.

I don't like the sound of that. And if I'm Big Mike and Kellen Moore I'm coming at them with all the good stuff we haven't shown anyone yet.

but but but its not Moore its Dak , its Brown, its Zeke.....
been saying it for a while, if I can tell what plays are going to be run offensively, then imagine a real NFL player and coaches can do. this is the garrett mentality that's still here. we just have to execute. the scheme, design be damned.

This is why I laugh at fans outside of Dallas. They always argue how Moore is near tops in the league with his offense. He is. Because Dallas possesses more talent than most of the league on offense.

But it’s what hinders is against elite teams (SF) and teams with elite defenses (Washington)

This is not the 1st time we've heard this...it all starts at the top. The Jones boys have no clue about hiring good coaches. They hire retreads...or guys like Moore and Garret that have low football IQ. This team needs a football GM...not an owner who thinks he's a GM...

You have to run what your QB is capable of doing.

SAID THAT DURING THE PRE SEASON AND STILL THE SAME PLAYS AND CONCEPTS OCCUR!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Bucs won't expect the run on first down 80% 70% of the time!
And if Turpin checks in on offense, he's going deep and not doing a jet sweep!

It's automatic when he comes in lol sweep!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

When N. Brown is on the field there is a 80-90% change Dak will throw it him.

It used to always be a run

same gripe for the past decade+, we never outsmart an opponent

 

[Coogiguy03]

You know, I agree with the guy. Dallas offense does look simple to me. But to be honest, so does Tampa's offense.

Yet we can't stop it and won't!!! Stopping curl routes shouldn't be hard

 

[Coogiguy03]

What?!? I thought running the ball right up the Center’s butt and 8 yard comebacks were a thing of the future!……

So so true lol

 

[blueblood70]

that's a wrinkle, last year if NB was in it was for sure a RUN!

 

[Coogiguy03]

I believe simple is the only offense we can run with Dak.

Funny but this may be true we want to keep it simple to keep him interested!! You make things harder he's going to complain and want things simplified

 

[Coogiguy03]

Or maybe we're just so talented we make everything look simple.

We like our guys we really feel good about our talent lol

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Funny but this may be true we want to keep it simple to keep him interested!! You make things harder he's going to complain and want things simplified

Or he just flat out can't run a complex offense.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I'm telling you it's something of that nature

 

[Grevus]

True

 

[TheCoolFan]

Not a surprise...even us fans have been saying that for years and we don't have the full resources of game film and study that teams have.

The Cowboys run basic schemes. If they win, it will because they "out-execute" the opponent, not because they out-schemed them! And when you rely on simply out-executing, you have even less room for error so every penalty and turnover is magnified

 

[Toro9]

Dak is scared to run. He ignores this asset of his game, or just figures he can make something happen. Or maybe he figures if he gets hurt he won't get the next big contract. Run, Dak! If you want to win, you will run. You're not an elite passer, just accept it!

This isn't the first time the Bucs have made it clear Dallas runs an oversimplified attack. I can recall a couple of other times recently, before and after matchups, where a player went out of their way to call out how easy it was to diagnose. Most recently, it was Devin White this past September.

While execution is always objective one, here's to hoping we can be a bit more nuanced and throw a wrinkle or two to keep these guys off balance. The season depends on it.
