Turn play calling duties over to OC Schottenheimer

[quickccc]

It's not just overreaction Monday for me. I've thought and wondered about this "Texas Coast Offense " since
the 2nd game of the season.

I'm not impressed with this McCarthy Tex Coast offense - in fact I hate it !
It is so uninspiring ! - it does not go for the throat kill of opposing defenses.
it does not threaten and pushes defenses. It does not emphasize speed and splash plays.
This Dink n Dunk actually plays into the hands of what defenses more prefer you to do.

- You do not trade for and acquire a speedy WR like Brandin Cooks to have a dink n dunk offense.

- No deep middle seams, ..not over the top,. no bunch formations.,. no rub routes, flat routes and dump offs.
If it's McCarthy being scared of Dak Prescott's possible turnovers, then McCarthy is Not the right guy for Dak.
And it's time to try a new and different direction with the coaches.

- Do not be surprised if the Jones' have privat- behind closed doors meetings with McCarthy . and " insist' that
he turn over the full play calling duties to OC Brian Schottenhemeir - in an effort to jump start big splash plays
and speed emphasis in our offense.

- With Seattle Seahawks, Schott as OC, Russell Wilson was always slinging and pushing the ball vertically
and downfield to Metcalf, Lockett.
That's something is Not happening, won't happen with McCarthy's Dink n Dunk offense.

If it's McCarthy being scared of Dak Prescott's possible turnovers, then McCarthy is Not the right guy for Dak.

3 INT's last night. It was the second time this season that a game was forced into Dak's hands and this was the result. The first time was at the end of the game in Arizona when Dak threw another INT and blew any chance at a come back.

So you tell the rest of us - is MM scared of Dak? Is the dink and dunk an intentional game plan to avoid Dak's crushing INT's? It sure seems that way to me.

Despite the Dak issues and INTs, he is still your guy, still the QB organization is committed to, still scheme to what he does best .. and what he does not do.

Dolphins QB Tua threw 2 INTs vs NYG, one returned for a TD, but the coaches did not shut Tua down, go into a scared shell to play conservative.

And let's be frank, the Jones' will want a play caller coach who they feel should bring out the best in Dak, not the worse, not playing scared, and not limiting him,.. they have to know if they have that kind of HC, play caller for Dak.

There are no plays to call.

McCarthy is the 4th playcaller they've tried. It's not the playcaller.

You can tell McCarthy knows he has a crappy QB.

Nothing would change, it is just rearranging chairs on the Titanic deck. Find a new QB first….

McCarthy has seen the real thing and sorry but no amount of "scheming" and "play calling" is going to make Dak Prescott into what Jerry wants him to be.

 

[unionjack8]

This what 90% of fans wanted.
Kellen gone.

Not looking so good now is it

4th play caller ?

Scott Linehan,.. Kellen Moore ..and now McCarthy.
I believe that's three.
So who am I missing ?

Schott as an OC is something the Cowboys definitely don’t want. He didn’t make any of the offenses great.

No they weren’t pushing the ball vertical in Seattle when he was an OC. That was Bevell that made Wilson what he is.

Schott was very conservative to the point that the whole “Let Russ Cook” meme began.

It has. This is Mike Nolan all over again.

https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/analysis-decision-to-fire-schottenheimer-shows-its-petes-way-or-the-highway/

" The Seahawks’ (Carroll’s) decision to part ways with Schottenheimer following his third season as offensive coordinator Tuesday came after the two met to discuss the future of the Seahawks’ offense.

It was surprising considering they set a team record for points this season with 459, but also not surprising given the NFL’s cutthroat nature and the Seahawks’ win-now philosophy.

" Schottenheimer was Carroll’s hand-picked hire in 2018 to replace the fired Darrell Bevell."
Carroll wanted to revive the running attack, which in 2017 was the worst of the Carroll era other than this first season.

In 2020, Schott's final year as OC, Seattle's QB Russell Wilson had 40 TDs, 13 TDs,
and he had two 1,000 plus yard production from Metcalf and Lockett,
and Wilson was averaging 7.5 per attempt.

Is Schott ideal and perfect play caller ? Maybe not.
There were whispers about his inability to adjust and predictability, (final weeks in 2020)
even though his 2020 team overall apparently set team records in points scored.

But who else is on that current coaching staff that would be better suited than Schott ?
In near the middle of a NFL season, you're Not likely to immediately get your idea OC and play caller.

But for right now during this 2023 regular season, ..it's either McCarthy or Schott.

Reportedly Mac has turned over his suspected, questionable play calling duties before during his GB coaching dayz.
Will he in a very similar position to be forced to do so again with the Cowboys ?

Another one bites the dust. It’s not the OC

They declared it at minimum, implicitly this off-season, that’s the reason why. But they put the aggression on Moore wanting to “score too fast” and not help out the defense.

Nothing is going to help this guy! He is done and damaged goods. Time to move on with another QB.

I’m not sold on Daks deep ball accuracy…..he occasionally will hit them, but he throws up risky balls too often, than and balls nowhere near the wr.

 

[Captain-Crash]

one more guy to fix dak, that should do it.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

KM was never the problem.

The team must have a effective deep passing game that opposing defenses respect.

Dallas's defense is much better playing with a lead.
