The announcers...especially olsen, whom i despise....have been calling our plays for weeks+. If a tv guy who prepares the night before can do it, a dc prrparing all week is a piece of cake.

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.
The average football fan thinks an offensive is suppose to do the opposite every play of what the defense thinks they are going to do. Thats not the case.

The Cowboys want teams to expect them to run on first down and we make them expect that by running the ball on first down. A good RB and good blocking will still get you manageable yardage. When you force them to overcommit because they cant stop the run you go play-action.

They are middle tier against the run. Their 3 corners are shut down. Their safeties are garbage in coverage. They struggle to cover TEs as well. The game plan should be simple. Pollard in space, let Davis use his speed. The passing game needs to go through Schultz and Ferguson. Leave Noah Brown on the bench
Why bench noah? Just return him to his rightful role and stop peeing off cd.

Only posting the undisputed clip because that’s where you can hear his comments to start the clip. Their LB said it week one that they knew our plays before we ran them.

This has been the case since Romo/Garrett, how do we solve this organizationally? Who’s to blame this tenure now that JG is gone? I’m genuinely curious.

And yet we havent gone play action despite our pitiful 1st down gain.
How about we teach o line how to block instead?

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

I would love to have a legit coach…
Everyone tries to say Mike and Sean Payton are the same because of their record. Record doesn’t define how well one coaches, wins and losses are organizational.

I can tell you that no one has ever even implied that Sean Payton’s scheme is simple. One of the best offensive minds in the game. 100% would take him over McCarthy who won’t even call his own plays.

Why would an 8-9 team that scraped their way into the playoffs be laughing at the offense of a 12-5 team that was among the highest scoring in the league?

Are you putting any thought into what you are typing?
did you watch game 1 or the game last year.We run a simple offense based on execution and is easily disrupted especially teams with good DTs.

It shouldn’t matter what plays and/or schemes Dallas runs on offense or defense; the important thing is to do one’s job and beat the man in front of you. At the end of the day it boils down to execution.
I think the Cowboys, both offensively and defensively outsmart themselves at times.

When the Cowboys win on Monday I hope someone after the game says "how simple was that"

Hopefully Lattimore shows up in the stands so they can fight again and get ejected.

Start with a good GM who evaluate players properly, Mcclay is ok but the talent level of players is average , thats why we cant execute complex schemes…..

( ducks and run for life …. LOL)

Simple and efficient. Nobody goes 14/37 like us. Nobody. They hate us, because they ain’t us.
