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.
Yeah but what are they supposed to do??
if that does happen it's the same offense are you saying the play calls are gonna change the offense?? if it's still the Texas coast offense then how is schottenheimer going to be any better it's not the in game play calling if that's the playbook?? they need to change the playbook or take a bunch of those out ?? I mean, I don't know.
I mean I have no answer but I do know this we got to stop just blaming the offense when the defense sucks,
I mean they sucked balls last night again like they did in Arizona and all that come and find most of the poster about the offense look yeah they had three turnovers a game was already decided.... I mean anybody wants to blame Prescott for that it's ridiculous he was forcing the ball yeah, he had nowhere to go nobody was open, he got frustrated and tried to just throw it and hoe the payer fought for the ball.
so, I guess that's what you're talking about nobody's getting open, is it the receivers or the offense ?? is it the routes again? because we were blaming this on Kellen Moore and now he's gone and our receivers are still not getting separation... I mean I've never seen guys so covered as in these two losses where the quarterback has nowhere to go and no time to throw it...
Where is the run game I mean I heard a lot about schottenheimer 's you know formations and schemes hard to tell whether there's runs or passes because they're real basic but they run a lot out of them so they all look alike so that way the defense is fooled I'm going to tell you something Tony Pollard looks like trash for a $10 million player, they're using him wrong... I mean literally the yards per carry is horrible that's what we called washed we're not seeing any big explosive plays no long plays he's not looking like his old self and had nothing to do with the injury it's the offense he should not be being used as the number one you want to call him the starter, that's fine... you give him the most carries that's fine but the most carries mean he should have 14 somebody else should have 13 somebody else should have eight but we need to do something else with the run game..
this is the common theme against the 49ers and then that one playoff game against the Rams there is no run game at all its pathetic. You cannot be one-dimensional against these defenses they literally can stop you with four men they can get pressure with those same four men, so then what they do on the backside is cover everyone up it literally gets to the quarterback and then the quarterback looks up and everybody's covered so he has to dump it down..
I'd like to get the bottom of it as well,
is it the players have they not adapted to the offense is it the offense itself?? like the actual playbook or is it the play caller, I mean I wish I had the answer!
I mean I'd be willing to do anything but what are we going to do with the defense now I mean is there a threat I missed I'm going to go look but the defense has looked horrible in the two losses as well so leaning back to the offense is just spinning your wheels...
we can fix the offense to be more like it was with Kellen Moore, so it could be higher scoring wait you're still going to lose games if your defense can't stop these guys they look at a place and all the penalties they look undisciplined I mean I thought that's what Dan Quinn's thing was these guys were supposed to be focused and locked in and I don't see it..
But I'm with you on this I hope there is some kind of closed door meetings and some discussions about changing a lot of it defense and offense something is amiss here because hey I feel like they're playing hero ball they're playing for the big plays...
they're playing like the Rangers were, the Texas Rangers led almost the entire season they were in first place in the West and all of a sudden they were swinging for the fences every game they lost the lead they lost a division for a little while and then they started playing small ball and they started getting runs getting people on base doing all the small things and they crawled their way back into the playoff race and missed it by 1 game to win the division but they look better in the playoffs since they reestablish their identity and stop trying to do just home runs..
So I don't know there was somebody on the radio today by the way that we're breaking down the game and they said CD lamb was hanging his head and he looked like on the routes that he knew he wasn't getting the ball he would come off the line at half speed and it was obvious to the defense it wasn't going to him, he was basically giving them a tell and then whenever he came off real strong the ball was going to him.. now if that's the case that needs to be fixed these dudes need to be coming off the ball like they're getting it and that they're going to run a nine round every time because if they look different and it's a tale I mean that's a big problem but I think he's upset he's not getting the ball more so when the play is not going to him he basically jogs off the line and that's something that Amari Cooper used to do he used to drive me crazy..
So yeah maybe a meeting a come to Jesus for the whole entire team about this type of stuff that they need more effort they need to play harder and be accountable for each other because just trying to get sacks in big plays and get the big hit I mean they're lining up offsides they're grabbing face masks or hitting people so yeah this is the defense too it's all of it I would like to know the answers as well...
Sorry for the ramble this is my first post since the game cause I'm pretty angry still I'm I'm pretty irritated I wasn't going to post till tomorrow but here it is...
