This is a joke.
To cherry pick 3 of our Offensive plays and 5 of the Cardinals Offensive plays, then say our offense is vanilla, and theirs is effective, is ridiculous and stupid.
Just looking at those plays: Did you notice on 2 of the Cardinal plays, 2 receivers ran the same route. How smart is that? If a team is playing zone and you run 4 comebacks at the sticks, you are flooding one area of the field with more receivers than their are defenders. This is often an effective way to beat zone defenses.
I agree our Offense needs to run more crossing routes vs man to man. We need to run the ball outside more often. We need a little more creativity in the run game. BUT most importantly we need better run blocking and pass blocking
Regarding our play calling. There were signs of more effective play calling in the 4th quarter vs the Cardinals:
1. The 4th down play for a 1st down to Cedric Wilson. He was open by 5-7 yards on a 3 yard pattern. That was play design.
2. Both our TD passes were crossing routes with receivers giving a little fake and running away from the defender in man to man coverage.
3. Dak faking the ball on the read option and getting the 1st down.
4. The double pass from Cedric Wilson was designed very well.
Hopefully, Moore will start incorporating more crossing routes and more natural picks vs man, and flood zones when teams play zone defense. Also, start running outside a little more.
Most importantly the O line, backs and te’s need to block or non of these plays work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My biggest concern going forward is the O line!!!!
