What the heck are we on offense?

[Aven8]

I have no clue. I see no direction or consistency. We come out running the ball in single back set and tight, and then go to 5 wide spread. We barely run Zeke, and Zeke looks weird. All of it does. The Oline can't block. The WR's can't catch. And the QB can't do anything. We're a mess offensively!

 

[kevm3]

We had one formula for winning which was have a super dominant o line and a running game that goes crazy. Once that formula goes out the window, you have an offense that largely looks like what was trot out by Weeden, Cassell, Sanchez and Moore. This isn't an offense that schemes. It's one that requires you to have elite talent to beat up the opposing team. When that talent isn't there... it looks like this year.

The line and lack of a passing threat have eaten away at our once-great run game.

Dak has proven efficient when given a great line and running game — neither of which he currently has. He has shown incompetent when missing either or both.

Our once mighty offensive line is missing it’s centerpiece — and the almighty LT looks to be on the decline as well.

To boot, we have possibly the worst TE/WR tandem in the league.

It’s a hot mess, honestly.

This is the most talent dependent staff I’ve ever seen in 45 years of watching the Cowboys.

Something's got to give. This is headed for 2-14

This is it.

Nothing!

 

[beware_d-ware]

Horrible.

Dak has regressed enormously. He looks incapable of making any pre-snap reads or audibles and looks absolutely terrified to let go of the ball. He'll hang onto it for 4-5 seconds and take a sack rather than take any kind of risk with a throw. You can almost see the gears in his head turning. "Deep? Not gonna happen. Outside? Not gonna happen. 4 yards to Swaim and maybe I won't turn the ball over..."

Poop

 

[CATCH17]

We hate big plays.

Short passes galore.

 

[ShortRound]

ok so our o-line isn't what we planned for, don't we then have to plan and scheme for that?
Shouldn't the coaches see this and say, ok this is what we got, how do we win?
It looks like they've given up, they have no Plan B.

We hate big plays.

Short passes galore.

Lack the personnel aside from Elliott and Austin and Gallup to generate big plays. Sieve of an OL isn't helping.

Offense? What Offense?

I hate to say it....yes it would be demoralizing around here but maybe we would get the changes that are needed!!!!!!

 

[charron]

We are a joke on offense.

You can say that again, and again, doesn't seem like any one is paying attention though. Feels like Jeff Fisher 2.0 with JG.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

This is effectively what Dak does once he realizes his initial quick read is covered or feels even the slightest hint of pressure...

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

I never had a clue, even with Romo here .

I could see Romo scramble and wait until the players broke their routes, because the playbook is trash, the playcalling is trash, the x's and o's are trash ...

Garrett is definite Garbage .

Romo recently said: 'Garrett isn't an x's and o's guy'
& he is talking about the inept clown who drew this current cowboys playbook !

I see we had a completion for around -9 yards ... dang

 

[JoeKing]

It ought to be clear to everyone by now that Travis Frederick is the keystone in this O-line. He's going to get well and be back so just go ahead and give the man a raise because his absence has made one thing crystal clear. This offense is dysfunctional without him.
