Two Interesting Quotes from Jerry on Linehan/QB Situation

[Risen Star]

Jerry Jones is the best GM in the NFL.

I didn't think it was possible.

1. Callahan didn't call the plays here last year.

2. The Commanders offensive line didn't dominate.

3. The Cowboys offensive line didn't struggle.

Other than that, good at bat. Now back to the dugout.

Callahan helped call and design plays, Commanders OL was dominant compared to what they fielded a year ago with 2015 Rookies, and the Cowboys reality of the 3rd down conversion rate has to be at least somewhat attributed to the OLine ability in 2014 and inability for 2015.


This isn't baseball Allstar.

The skins will win the east.....but is that really saying much this year?

Our OL may not have been like last year but they weren't "flailing compared to 2014" for sure.

Lol, you know as well as I do that if the Cowboys were 8-7 going to the playoffs you would be the first one telling us how they're playing great at the right time and would be singing the praises of the great coaching of Garrett

Double talk

Callahan did not call plays last year. You must have been asleep when Linehan was hired and Callahan wanted out because he lost his play calling duties.

So in an attempt to praise his play calling you actually criticized it. It was only after he lost play calling that the offense hummed.

Actually all three of your "points" were complete and total nonsense. Not an ounce of truth in any of them.

But this comes with a tough season. I have to read genius like that for months before another season of football.

Only in your one-sided view was Callahan a silent Coach. When in faxt Bill Callahan was the best Coach in Dallas and now he's the best Coach in Washington, keep your blinders on that way you don't get too spooked at the incompetence or by the pendulum swing that just swooped down right in front of your handlebar mustache.

Kinda shows the internal dysfunction of the Cowboys.

Internal dysfunction, external dysfunction, general dysfunction.

I don't know what to tell you. You said he called plays here last year. He didn't. He had less influence on the plays that were run in 2014 than at any point in his Dallas tenure. This isn't an opinion. It's fact. So when you praised the play calling last year, you were praising his successor Linehan and you didn't even know it.

The Commanders offensive line is far from dominant. The Cowboys offensive line hardly struggled. Don't make me laugh. You're a Joe Fan who's bitter about the season and looking for anything to slam the team.

I know Scott called the plays but he was helped by Romo, Carrot Top and Callahan.

Continue to bash Bill Callahan as a non-factor in this NFL season if you want to but that's not realistic. Disregard him while he was actually the biggest Coaching difference maker in the NFC Least for 2015, while holding a resume to prove his worth well beyond the hype for Linehan.

The Seminoles Offensive Line is miles away from 2014 in a positive way, young with arrow pointed straight up, so stop being purposely oblivious about their O Line.

Meanwhile the Cowboys had another terrible year, reminicent the Campo Years ... Joe Fan isn't bitter but he is tired of losing, there are 25 years of some fans who don't understand what it's like to win. If that is slamming the team then, okay.

Meanwhile the Cowboys had another terrible year, just exactly like the Campo Years ... Joe Fan is tired of losing, there are 25 years of some fans who don't understand what it's like to win. If that is slamming the team then, okay.

You're still trying?

So your point when you said "Callahan called the plays last year" was that he had the least influence on play calling since he's been here?

You're embarrassing yourself. Callahan lost his play calling duties. He had no authority to call a single play. Anyone paying attention remembers how he balked that offseason and wanted to leave because of it. He had to stay and less Callahan produced a highly productive offense. These are facts. Not opinion.

Callahan should be the Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys if you want to know the truth. Not embarrassed to give an opinion, though it's a fact, he's probably the best qualified Coach in the NFC Least outside of Coughlin.


You can keep your insults to yourself and bestow the Greatness of Bill Callahan!

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I challenge anyone to post something worse than this.

That takes effort.

That statement literally could not be worse, literally, Callahan did not call plays, Washington's o-line has still struggled quite a bit, but we still have the better o-line. Dallas is 9th in rushing yards per game, Washington is 23rd. Even in sacks allowed, they have allowed 26, we have allowed 29. And with better QB play, that number would have been lower for us.

 

[StylisticS]

At the beginning of the year, I thought we missed Callahan. As the year progressed, my feelings on that changed. However, Washington's oline has played better protecting the QB. But they haven't been a good running team since September.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

sacks allowed, they have allowed 26, we have allowed 29. And with better QB play, that number would have been lower for us.

Winning the East with Kirk Cousins at QB is no small task, Cowboys best success this year was in pass blocking and the Skins have it beat with 3 less sacks allowed plus both of Washingtons' starting RBs Matt Jones and Alfred Morris have been hurt since early in the Season. When the Rookie was healthy he set it on fire.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Winning the East with Kirk Cousins at QB is no small task

Based off what, the two teams tied for second are 6-9 and Washington is only 8-7, I'd argue it was an easy task. Besides, you're really underestimating Kirk Cousins, I'm not saying he's a future pro-bowler, but he's better than Nick Fowles who won the NFC E a few years back.

Cowboys best success this year was in pass blocking and the Skins have it beat with 3 less sacks allowed.

The difference in those 3 sacks allowed is 9th vs 7th place, the difference in rushing yards is 9th vs 23rd.

I don't know that telling the truth is an insult. You can continue to preach the virtue of Callahan but in the year you were mentioning of great offensive production, Callahan lost his playcalling duties. He had less of an impact in the offense and it improved. This is fact.

How about just admitting you thought he was calling the plays in 2014?

Exactly right. He made three terrible points.

It's going to be a long offseason and everything is fair game. Including losing the secret sauce that is Bill friggin Callahan.

lol ... whatever, I already answered this accusation and will not continue on your insane path of redundancy.

Just go sit back and act like you know what's going on in the Draft and try to create some kind of false accolade to prop yourself up with, while you continue to pretend to be the risen star that you aren't.

My points were fantastic.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

My points were fantastic.

But Callahan didn't call plays last year (or even this year in Washington) and Washington's o-line was not dominate...

If you want to argue that our o-line flailed as opposed to last years, fine, that's an opinion, but the first two are factually wrong
