Turn play calling duties over to OC Schottenheimer

[Zekeats]

Stop

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.

Stop comparing Dak to Super Bowl QBs. It’s very, very disrespectful.

The way the 49ers LBs can move trying to do something underneath is a waste of time. You have to get the ball down the field. The Rams racked up 300 yards passing against the 49ers and that was without Kupp. Stafford was throwing the ball down field and making the 49ers DBs cover. That is not their strength.

No you dont have to do anything of the kind. Our LBs are off balance because they are going forward trying to stop the run, their LBs and safeties can play in space because they know our run game is trash and can be contained by their front 4

Establish the run and get the LBs biting and suddenly those intermediate routes open up

Dak sucks, plain and simple. McCarthy rightfully doesnt trust him.

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 ?

If Schott is the guy, we have to get better with the running to minimize Dak in 3rd and long. Also, Dak have to be willing to be a scrambling qb like he was in his rookie season.

Reality is that no one can help Dak at this point in his career imo. Mac could turn it over but I think that he wants to do the playcalling for another QB that is on the Cowboy roster but JJ not having it.

Guys, I've got bad news for everyone. You may want to sit down. Ok, here it is.




It's not the plays.

Since the ankle injury, dak does not have that kind of mobility. like he did his rookie

And we don't want him returning to bad habits of stiff arming incoming tacklers which led to the shattered ankle Injury.

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.

MM is not scared of Dak.

MM is not a good play caller. Dak isn't really a good QB at this point.

Trying to come up with excuses for McCarthy is mindnumbing.

It's kind of the plays. It ain't all Dak.

I am literally sitting here stunned that people think McCarthy is a great play caller and is calling great games here. Holy ****.

I get that some of you are completely anti-Dak but trying to make out McCarthy to be really good at what he does just to crap on Dak some more is hilarious stuff.

Problem is, he's handicapped with the qb to what he feels comfortable calling. Not saying MM is some guru playcaller but if he can't execute the simple stuff...

No the problem is he's not a very good OC on top of having a mediocre QB.

Don't focus on one or the other. They both are failing and replacing one or the other doesn't fix squat.

Honestly, they can both go. As long as it's both.

This might be the funniest post ever in the Zone.

So your saying it only took 5 games before you realized McCarthy can't call plays nor coordinate an offense....

That didn't take long.....

Miss Kellen yet? If only he had a competent QB....He would still be here.

Shottenheimer is McCarthy light (haha). They run the same crap. That’s why he was hired and why is was such a bad hire. It’s another good old boy “someone I used to know” situation instead of bringing in someone innovative.

 

[glimmerman]

Right that's why I was gonna avoid coming in here until for a couple days but then I figured what the hell I'm just gonna vent and get it over with..

Lmao, same here. It was a bad game by the whole team. But of course they are blaming Dak. He did throw 3 picks. Trying to force plays. He is a top 10 QB. If he started tucking it and running when nothing is there he could be top 5. But I really think the injury has him worried or the staff. All good. We will have a bounce back game Monday.

We will see people breaking the game down all week. I am over it. Nothing you or I can do about it. I just hate to see people blaming 1 person for a team loss. Our Defense gave up 42 points. Not going to win a lot of games giving up that many points.

 

[glimmerman]

But I saw Parsons being moved around, DLaw was actually at right end maybe a couple of times
while Parsons was at left end.
Even saw Micah up the middle a couple of times.
Niners OL and TEs just did a damn good job of blocking him.

And he's just not gonna get much success vs Trent Williams. Dude is 35 years of age, and
still performing at such a high level.

I didn’t see him being played at LB. But to be honest I was in shock and started feeling sick. You can always tell early in the game if we are going to stink it up. It’s like watching a train wreck. And just hoping the team will catch on. But knowing they will not..

sorry he forced those because nobody was open, no run support, terrible D, no execution, bad pay calling they were frustration throws out of desperation, had no effect on the games outcome whatsoever. as a matter of fact all of his interception were in games that were already out of reach....

really so top ten quarterbacks don't throw interceptions?? LMASO since when

Josh allen has led the league in Turnovers since his drafted, Stafford 20 Ints in the sb year 2 that TWO in the sb they won.. they won because the team was good enough to win.. we were NOT in both the games.. so brett farve and Peyton manning and all the others who have led the league in interceptions werent top 10?. .

FACTS not hyperbole and rhetoric

kellen moore was supposed to be innovative and it didn't work here either....

 

[jgboys1]

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

He also needs a better O-Line, better receivers, better running backs, a new offensive coordinator, a new head coach...…..um....what else am I missing?
