Used to be teams would stack the box and come after Dak. He and they learned to beat the blitz and they have changed. Now rushing 4 and covering. I hope they learn to beat that. If they could run the ball then that’s how to beat it but somewhere during the season teams learned they couldn’t run. Bring 4 and cover. Bring linebacker in the gap and blow up the run game.. We had no answer. Moore should have gone to a shorter pass game..
I think that injury during the pats game freaked him out..
We were 11-0 when we rushed for 100 yards or more. Not a more impressive offensive stat to me .
Motion and even misdirection. And your right. These are coaching problems. On the line. The trenches is where we used to dominate. Now I am seeing 2 on 1 blocking rushers. That’s not what we used to play. Martin don’t need help blocking his guy. Lol. Get in the second level and take out a line backer. Maybe it was Martin trying to help the center. Next season the center better be able to handle his business and Williams can be gone. Out of all these holding and false start penalties how many was on him. 12 games with no run game the last 9 games. Imagine us with a run game like 2016..
I think our QB deserves some criticism as well. Even Romo pointed out all of the receivers open he either didn’t see or didn’t feel were open enough.
Unfortunately your right. It has to be working before you can simply tweak. Our run game needs coaching and a new face or 2.
Crazy they don’t realize that. It’s not like they aren’t hearing it all the time. Run off tackle and toss plays. RPO’s. Mix it up. He just does the same thing. Down by 3 points then scrap the run game. Linehan did the same thing. I understand the pass game is where the NFL has been heading but we are proof that you can’t do it with out at least a middle of the pack run game. And pocket passing is not Dak. He made his case for a contract with passing off the run game. And he was a part of the run game. Taking off with it 3 or 4 times a game..
Dak most times isn’t going to beat good teams w/ his arm, but a good running game will because it can set up so many other things.
Heck yeah he does. He has to get part of the blame. I see him throw the ball and somewhere on that field is a receiver standing there. Usually a shorter route. I would only see him fire the ball down field with no hesitation when the Defense jumps and it’s a free play. And they are almost always a completion. But it’s not right to say if we lose then it’s the QB but if we win it’s a team game. Penalties are a coaching issue when it happens all year in the same areas. When you know we win almost everytime we call a even and balanced game and ditch the run game after we are down by 3 and only run a few up the gut runs then that’s your OC.
And it’s the way we did it for a long time. It used to be the Defense that let us down. People would say we run the ball and dink and dunk. Would love to see the dink and dunk after the pats game. It sets up the run.
