We have all the solutions

[northerncowboynation]

.... 0r at least here is a summary of the most common solutions.

1) Zeke should have the ball in his hands more than 15-16 touches as a RB
2) Zeke should be used more in the passing game
3) Get the ball in Austin's hands more
4) Rico? Should be used more in the red zone
5) More RPO's for Dak and he should run the ball more
6) Move La'ell to LG and Williams to RT
6) Fire Linnehan and have JG call the plays.
7) Pull a Wade and fire JG and SL mid-season.
8) spend a second round pick and change on ET now. Of course we've been doing that since April and the now keeps getting moved forward
9) bring back Dez
10) Revolt and coup d'etat and replace JJ with.....

Note* as you go down the list the probability of it happening decreases somewhat. In other words #10 is a complete non-starter and #1 is totally doable.

Not likely the masses will be satisfied. You can please the many some of time or please the few more of the time.

What's your solution? Is it all an exercise in futility

#7 has zero chance of happening mid season, and little to no chance of happening at the end of it while Jerry is still taking in oxygen and massive amounts of Johnny Walker Blue.

If he gets cremated his liquored up remains might burn down half of Highland Park.

2) Zeke had his chances in the passing game Sunday and whiffed badly.
6) why start the learning process over for these 2? Collins has shown he can be a good RT at the end of last year. Williams’ strength problems would show up at RT also. LEs like Lawrence would eat him alive.
- If you fire Garrett and Linehan, you want Kellen Moore as the top QB advisor?
8) why would you give premium draft capital for a position that doesn’t fix the offensive problems
9) what is Dez going to help? Dak wont throw 50-50 balls.

The only solution there is during the season is tell Dak throw it deep at least once per quarter no matter if Tavon is wide open or not.

I’d be growing up Mike White and first time game got out of hand he’d be in to get used to speed of game. He’s only QB on roster with NFL arm. If there’s a few blowouts and he can get some 4th quarter experience great and then start him the last few weeks of the season if the team is eliminated.

Offensively they need to live in shotgun/pistol and spread defenses out. Add tempo and make the game more instinctual than having to execute elaborate plays.

In 3rd and long I’d go more dime to get Lewis on the field. Allow Heath play under the sticks and Lewis and Woods can roam deep. Frazier/Heath are not good roamers.

 

[glimmerman]

RPO and play action. Run the ball. Has been our success. When Linehan or JG messes with the flow we are flat.

 

[charron]

We can tweak the offense forever with the same results. They need to give rush 1st team reps while having Dak practice getting the ball out at about 2.3seconds and throwing to a spot. The QB has got to get rid of the ball before the receiver is "open". Rush may not be any better but it sends a message, it's on Dak to get better.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Offer the second and Terrance for Earl.

 

[Roadtrip635]

More spread formations, that will move defense out of the box and give easier reads
More 2 back sets using Zeke and Tavon together, options, fakes, screens, play action, this can also suck in LBs and open quick slants and seam routes behind them
More motion in the offense, it tips the defense making reads easier and forcing movement.
More misdirections and counters
Dial up 3-4 deep shots every game, as long as you have 1on1, let it fly
More 3 step drops, Dak has shown a repoire with Beasley and Thompson and both run short quick routes well and Dak has thrown those well
Run the ball, Zeke should never have less than 18 carries a game
Read Option, run Dak more often, if he isn't the answer what are we saving him for
Stop using Hurns and TWill, they have shown nothing
Get Rico some more snaps
Try no-huddle offense, keeps defense from substitutions and make reads easier too

Rush would get his *** kicked with this O line.

Yup. But it certainly sends a message to Dak. Get your ***t together or we move on. The line is fine if a QB would get rid of the ball. Even rush could score 1td a game which is what Dak is doing.

Good suggestion with White if game gets out of hand BUT do you really want a rookie QB standing in behind this O-line. They leak like a screen door in a submarine. Baptism by fire. Worth a shot to see what he's got though. Still, in a game with no consequences what would we say if he lit it up or stunk it up. I'm not going away from Zeke in the pass game because of two mistakes. I see the upside and we should exploit it. Good suggestions

We shouldn't be afraid to throw Rush or White out there. We took a shot with a 4'th round rookie back in 2016. Why be afraid? Because it may prove what bad picks they were? On the flip side it could work. Maybe Kellen is a QB whisperer lol. It' s only three games but if we're floundering at the half way point I'm all for getting a look see at either or both. That sets us up for the draft in 2019

Do you really think Jerry and Jason will allow Mike White or even Cooper Rush in a game unless there is an injury to Dak.
They can't have a QB controversy now can they.

There is no message to be sent. It's not like Dak isn't giving maximum effort. He doesn't have the talent. A message is sent when you need a player to mentally engage.

The team's failure, once again, was to not adequately address the back up QB situation to where we are inserting a QB in hopes of realistically winning. QBs were out there for reasonable prices and yet the FO still wanted to roll with Cooper Rush and Mike White. Now we have another Weeden, Cassel, Moore carousel.

But the decision needs to be made that they are finally going to invest some draft capital in the QB position. Something they haven't done since Troy Aikman and Steve Walsh 3 decades ago.

Good thoughts

 

[CrownCowboy]

The one solution to a multitude of the problems this team has would be to fire Jason Garrett and his staff as mentioned. I would like to keep Richard and maybe hire him as the Head Coach. He can run the defense and bring in someone, anyone other than what we have now, to run the offense.

We won't win anything as long as Jason Garrett is the Head Coach of this team.

Tampa has a QB controversy, why not the Cowboys . I think it would be good for this site. Can you imagine. Throw Kellen's hat in the ring too. His job is far too cushy. Can you imagine, Coopers bust on Mount RUSHmore or Kellens bust on Mount rushMOORE

I'm thinking the Raiders were thinking that too when they hired Chuckie. 0-3 would suggest otherwise. Still we shouldn't base our decision on the Raiders futility lol. No question Richard will be interviewed as a HC IMO. For the Rooney rule reason if nothing else.

best solution is new hc and oc. until that happens, everything else is mere conjecture.

T-Will is a negative trade asset.

I disagree. You absolutely send a message to Dak, the rest of them. Dak is not playing as well as he could. Rush couldn't be worse, hell he might be better. Dak should be treated like he is injured, his injury is mental. Too scared to make the throw. It's either that or he can't read a defense, either way we have a backup, time to use him.
