The playcalling has been really good

I can't remember a time where our coaches have just been ahead of the defense so much in a game.

Every week it has gotten better and today the Bengals didn't know which way we were going.

All the stuff to Beasley is just killing teams.

The TD that got called back on the Witten "penalty" and the Dak zone read play are just a couple of examples of our coaches actually doing their job.

It is a noticeable difference here lately.

I'm a happy Cowboy fan.

I am on record saying that I think Garrett is a mediocre coach but the staff has done a fantastic job to date, especially the offensive coaches building game plans for Prescott.

Love hearing stuff like this. Coaching staff AND execution on point. Our offense is truly legit.

The execution is good but the plays being called are just different than what we have done in the past.

We've got defenses bamboozled right now.

This is much better than the out athlete them mentality.

Agreed. Watching our offense do their thing today was legit impressive. Linehan and Prescott are on the same page.

I also think Dak being a threat to run plays in to the equation.

I expect to see idgit in this thread.. The coaches have finally gave him a leg to stand on when defending them.

This is what a balanced attack looks like. The D has to respect both and our O can dictate terms.

The earlier play calling showed a lack of confidence in the players execution now they have confidence in the players.

And it just so happens that the staff learned how to call plays at the same time we replaced Brandon Weedon, Matt Cassell and Darren McFadden with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.

Amazing coincidence.

I mentioned this last week..... the trio of T-Will/Butler/Beasley is good enough to get by. They get open. Dak finds them.

WR is not a huge need.

I'm actually glad you said this because I totally believe this. Lenihan has been magical so far this season.

I'm anti this coaching staff but it's their own fault that I have felt that way.. I've called them out even when we were winning in 2014.

Right now they are doing what they are supposed to.

It's always good when the plays are working. :p

Even more remarkable when you consider how much salary is not on the field.

The announcers noticed that the Dallas D has been mostly Man for the last 4 weeks, and went zone this week. it probably threw the Bengals O planning for a loop. Credit Marinelli with that wrinkle. Otherwise, I think the coaching hasn't change nearly as much as the execution level. Butler has time in the system, and Dak is actually a capable QB, unlike the jokes we had under center last year. The ripple effect is that the team is playing for him because they believe in him. It ultimately makes all the difference.
