I'd agree w/ that too. I'd really like to see Dallas go to more timing-routes, similar to what we did in the early 90s.
You sound like Jerry Jones after he fired Gailey and brought Jack Reilly back.
It is not the system. You cannot recreate systems and expect the success. The key is to prepare well and have a plan that can be modified. We had enough offensive success that some adjustments can change things. As bad as it was at times, it was not inept.
If Garrett is as smart as touted, he will adjust and have a more flexible plan this time that isn't so rigid that a few injuries will throw everything into disarray.
One thing to remember. Once a team breaks camp, it is not that easy to simply modify the playbook. You can't just throw it out and start over.
The bad thing is that our plan was tailored around a bad backup QB and our OL was not nearly as great at pass protection as thought. Felix Jones was probably a major part of what we planned to do. What tweaks that Sparano was able to make to the offense went away when Houck was hired and we went too far with the downfield attack mode Garrett ran with. Owens isn't the same player, Williams was brought in midstream.
