One of the best reads I've seen on the 2023 Dallas offense so far. I'm not a Dak stan -- I think he's okay, personally -- but McCarthy actually sucks. He sucks in ways that an NFL coach shouldn't suck in the 21st century, and I'm already over it.

Did MM ever ice his own kicker?

I'm not defending him, I'm just curious if he has ever gone to that level of stupidity.


Oh....almost forgot. No, I don't think he can fix.

Yeah more dink and dunk

According to a preseason article from the team’s website, the foundation of the Texas Coast is a “combination of horizontal concepts that open up the opposing defense with tempo, pace and concepts that have worked for the team in years past.” In other words, Dallas is reemphasizing the short passing game, a marked shift from Moore’s scheme and something McCarthy and Co. decided to do primarily in reaction to Dak Prescott’s tie for the NFL lead in interceptions in 2022.

..of course he can fix it. There's a will, there's a way.
I would reach out to my football resources. Get some advice.

no no no

Dak has proven he’s just not really good at any offense. And to add onto that, our weapons aren’t that great. No one is dynamic outside of Lamb and Turp. I don’t even know what Cooks is now

 

[ChuckA1]

I don't believe it's fixable with the current cast of characters

 

[Tabascocat]

It reads like his football obituary from a non-fan of his.

I think McCarthy is a fine manager but a terrible coach. He handles the team and the pressures and personalities that exist in pro sports better then most head coaches but I think he is deficient in the X’s and O’s Of setting up a successful scheme on the field. This article does a pretty good job of arguing that point.

Dak is a play action QB. He ran the RPO great and then all of a sudden they moved away from something that wasn't broken. Bring it back!

 

[Redsfan_83]

Even if the offense was average I would say it's fixable, but this offense has gone backwards quickly

mike would have to design plays that have slow processing built into them, hum, sort of like what he's trying now. Which isn't working, so his next move is to punt to the OC who got his job because of his dad. Looks like a win-win situation. Why can't we fix the dak?

Exactly. You can't fix stupid. And Dak is football stupid. Case in point, how many times have you seen him scramble towards the sideline and step out of bounds taking a 2 or 3 yard loss rather than just flicking the ball out of bounds? It happens like once a game and has to be the dumbest thing anyone does as a qb.

it probably isn't his fault, says a dak fan, they should have made the field wider. shrugs.
