News: The Cowboys' Hopes Lie in the New Offense (The Ringer)

[Fletch]

Everybody says Moore is a genius but i have to see any evidence in TC or pre season.

You can say it starting Sept 8th.

Did anybody notice, in Witten’s interview this week when they asked him whether getting up to speed on the offense was different for him from years past, he just dismissed the question, saying he’d been in this system a lot of years and it hadn’t really changed?

I think we’re primarily going to get more of what we’ve always gotten on offense again this season with a couple of fun wrinkles thrown in.

Thanks for posting!!

Some of the best teachers (or play callers or coaches or caddies etc) are not always the best at the game regardless of sport. I've got heaps of confidence in Moore if Garret (and JJ) stay the hell out of his way and let him do his own thing w no intimidation! We'll see!!

Here's a pretty in-depth article about what Moore is trying to accomplish and his philosophies.

Great article and if that doesn't get your juices going then you're not a true fan.

Because it's TC and preseason. They don't put their real offense in until they get back to Dallas. Those practices are closed. You won't see the real Moore offense until opening day.

I couldn't disagree Moore.

Prepare to be disappointed if you’re expecting a totally different offense. All I’m hoping for is some creativity to keep the defense honest.

FYI...anyone see the pic on DC.com and Dave Helman? lol...he looks like wee man! lol..Has his Hawaiian Shirt ...its pretty funny when he's standing next to Broaddus and company. Just had to share my thoughts. Carry on...

There was one Witten interview where he made a comment that most plays are in all team's playbooks but the difference is when/how the plays are called during the game.

Watching training camp practices shows that they are working on more changes than just increased pre-snap motion.
- 2 RB sets (not 1 RB, 1 FB)
- RBs on go routes (multiple times in practices even including multiple by FB/RB Olawale)
- More variation in RB pass routes.
- Any snaps with Witten and Jarwin on the field together would be a change.

- The Garrett era Cowboys have rarely not paired Witten with a blocking TE.​

- More pre-snap motion including "multiple" motion where a player motions, sets and motions again.
- They're doing something with both the QB and RB rolling to the outside together.

- The camera angles have limited what I could see on these.
- It looked like a QB roll out to pass but the RB ended up with the ball before crossing the line of scrimmage.
- I couldn't see if it was a toss or if the QB directly handed the ball to the RB.
- It was obviously an option type play with receiving options on routes to that side of the field.​

- A QB roll-out with a TE or WR moving laterally down the line to pass block for the QB in open space.

- It appeared to be an option for the TE/WR to block or run a delayed route.​

Broaddus and Helman together remind me of references to this comic strip.

The heyday of this comic was before my time, but my parents generation often used the phrase "Mutt & Jeff" as a descriptive term.

Could you imagine 24th overall on offense. Even if we moved up halfway. The achievement. And if it turns into wins. Go Cowboys I'm excited.

I could imagine that W in terms of improving the offense when you lay it out statistically like you did but I am in public so I better not

hold on...I will get it

see what I mean? lol...its really out of place the way they have Helman standing next to them...I knew he was small..but DAMN. That explains how he kind of acts smug sometimes..small mans complex.

I hope that’s not true.
