This is so comical

[tomsanders921]

If Garret and company weren't cowards, they should have went play action and deep on 3rd down. If it failed, come back on 4th and get it.

Everyone knew that 3rd was going to Zeke. Should have went for the kill shot considering they were stuffing the run all night.

I hate Garrett more and more every game

Again lay off the weed. Learn what a play design is, then get back to me. Plays are designed to create option for qbs to make plays successful. Oh and I got your quiet.

That's not what plays are designed to do. Plays are designed with concepts to attack defenses in certain situations. All plays have options. It's not having options that is play design, it is the design of those options to effectively attack a defense. A good design will use options to attack effectively. This design can use alignment, motion, misdirection, personnel, etc. to manipulate defenses and put them in bad positions. A bad play design will fail to use options effectively.

So, how was this play designed to use these "3 options" effectively?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I am just fine thank you. I am not so invested in this guy that I have to lie to myself and try to convince myself that we really are lucky to have such a fine coaching staff led by Jason Garrett.

I wonder what it's going to be like when you finally wake up to the realization you've backed what essentially is a dog all these years?

A dog would actually coach this team better than Garrett.

I thought our coaches called a brilliant game last night.

And I thought dak looked like the second coming of joe Montana.

 

[Starforever]

That's not exactly accurate. The DB is going for Beasley. There was a LB standing there that was responsible for Dak.

So if Dak keeps the ball, that LB likely forces him to pitch it to Beasley. The DB is going after Beasley, so at that point, it would then be up to Beasley to make a play on the DB.

I was pointing out if Dak sold the handoff to Zeke, the LB standing at the line probably would have bit for a second, thus Dak drawing in the DB. That play has to be executed perfectly in order for it to work. Most ends crash if the fake is executed properly. The ball was just handed to Zeke routinely, if I am not mistaken. There was no fake or intention in the execution.

 

[Dre11]

LOL. His analysis of the play is wrong based on what he wrote.

He's not wrong, he called the lb a DB,( you know what he meant too)but he isn't wrong about the design. If you weren't so agenda driven, you would figure what he meant.

Exactly what I said, Dak made his mind up to give it from the start.

[Ranching]

So running the option there was a smart play call?

It was a stupid call. The option takes way to much practice time to perfect. Reads, timing and of course the pitch all need to be perfect. Way too risky. @Dre11 is probably right, Dak decided to give it to Zeke, probably because he didn't have the confidence to read and pitch it.

 

[HungryLion]

Enough of the BS argument.

It’s the coaches job, to call plays that will work, to win the game.

That play call didn’t work. Therefore, the coaches failed. A player may have failed too. But it’s still a coaching failure.

Here’s a novel idea. Garret and the coaches should do enough right, that the team wins the game. If they do this argument isn’t happening.

Garret has nobody to blame for his failures but himself.

 

[links18]

Beasley is not a RB... he has no business running the option

Either get a another 3rd down RB or scrap that nonsense

We have Beasley, Austin and even Hurns lining up as H backs regularly. TWill even did when he wasn't having personal issues.

How are you attacking a defense if you don't give your qb multiple option to attack a defense? Otherwise the defense just sits on one concept. ...the 3 options carried they're own concept. One was a handoff to the Rb, one was a run by the qb, and one was a pitch to Beasley. You had options to attack both sides of the field. Lol maybe you should be quiet you look real foolish right now. It often said to be quiet and be thought to be a fool, then open your mouth and remove all doubt....lol

First of all, Beasley should have fought harder for the sticks on 2nd down. He was too content to run to the sideline. Second, 3rd down should have been a roll out with a pass option to Rico, with the understanding that if doesn't work you are going for it on 4th. On 4th down, the supposedly best offensive line in the game (right!) should have been given the opportunity to earn their paychecks.

I don't think it was lack of confidence, I just think he had that much confidence in Zeke

Hindsight working here with the rollout,
About the 4th:

Zeke had 20 carries for a grand total of 54 yards. Of those 20 carries, 13 went for a grand total of 0 yards, and 10 of those 13 went for minus-6 yards, thanks to some cohort Bill Jones math. Your confidence level.

Yes, its hindsight. That's what we do here. Hopefully, you don't even have to go to 4th down, but if you do what are you paying all those "great" offensive linemen for if you can't ask them to get you one yard with the game on the line? We were lucky to even be in that game at that point, yet the possibility was there to steal a victory--instead, he punted and it was all too predictable from there.

Because they hadn't been getting the job done all night . 13 carries went for 0 yards 10 for minus 6. Smith was getting his *** whipped all night.

Then its up to the coaching brain trust to call a damn play that can succeed. Maybe hand it to the fullback, like we used to do with Moose. BTW, does Olawale have a single carry this year?

Again hindsight, but yes that was an option.
