Time for Garrett to show some guts

[Yakuza Rich]

I would love too see them run an end around to Dez and have Dez throw a pass. He's got a cannon for an arm and would draw a ton of attention. He also throws left handed so it deceives the defense even more.

Other than that I would like to see a flea flicker, but I doubt that will work if Ryan is blitzing a lot.

I don't know how many of you young whippersnappers remember the game in 91 when Jimmy Johnson hit the "big gorilla" aka as the undefeated Commanders with everything and the kitchen sink.
This is what Garrett needs to do...
But he will not..

I recall the onside kick in that game, but that was about it when it came to trick plays. They lost Aikman to injury in that game and had to finish with Steve Beurlein. If they ran any more trick plays, it was probably because of having to go with a second string QB to finish out the game.

I understand and I don't disagree. Pound the ball and pound it some more. However, you wouldn't run the flea flicker until you have beat them up with the run game for a good long while. IOW, go ahead and punch them in the mouth and then once thy're tired, give them a haymaker (FFlicker).

What Linehan has been doing is better than trick plays, IMO. He is able to see how the opposing defense plays certain routes and takes advantage of it later.

The play against the Rams where Dez was wide open was by design, IMO. They showed a look with T. Williams going in motion and pausing behind the OLine. They've done that several times on running plays with Williams blocking, but this time they sent him on a route designed to pull the Safety up. They knew that Janoris Jenkins would play the out route on Dez and just needed to get the Safety to pull up because of Williams route.

There have been several times this season that receivers got wide open due primarily to how Linehan setup the play calling sequences. There was a TD by Williams where no defender was within 5 yards or more.
