What would fix our red zone issues?

[noshame]

Throwing the ball into tight spaces accurately/consistently

 

[Captain-Crash]

TD's?

 

[JonesBoys]

A tightend that can catch the ball when it hits his hands.

 

[Cowboyny]

Do we need more physical WR'S that can go get the ball, better rbs, or a more athletic tight end?? What would help??

O LINE we already know

There are several things that can fix our red zone attack:

-Rub routes
-Running the football more effectively
-Dak using his legs more, read option
-Work on the fade routes
-Attack the end zone outside of the red area

What I have seen thus far is very conservative play calling, underneath passes, fades and simple runs. They have to get more creative.

Time! New offense… there’s going to be hiccups… this one will work itself out with time!

I have to disagree I feel it's a real issue .

It's like a tire with a slow leak field goals temporarily fix the problem like airing it back up but eventually it leaks down faster and faster and has to be fixed.
If we can't score touchdowns in the Red zone against teams like the 49ers and the eagles we are going to be left flat and stranded.
I think Dak he needs to be used more in this area if it's not there he needs to tuck it away and run it.

Dak’s not good at extending plays. That’s what a lot of these elite guys do so well.

Dak running the read option.
Also, we do miss Schultz more than anyone will admit here. Was he worth what he wanted, def not, but he and Dak were good in the RZ.

More games like the Cards will truly reveal what the issues are. Frankly, I don't think Coach Mac cares as much as the media and fans do. He said he was going more conservative, and playing to the defensive strengths.

We need more games that are not DEF/ST blowouts to see if he'll stop being so conversative. Because they have no problem whatsoever moving it down the field, and making first downs. My biggest fear is they get so reliant on the defense, and then a team comes along like Arizona that can up the lead quickly, and they just don't have much of a response.

In the meantime, they also need to find their short yardage back because as worn out as Zeke was, apparently we really miss that role. Putting Luepke in there last week was a good sign, hope to see more. Also a good sign seeing Ferguson much more involved, because you need some TE help in that red zone.

Feels like we have all small fast WRs. We don't necessarily need a Dez contract, but wouldn't hurt to have a bigger WR who can out-physical or catch those jump ball corner shots.

stronger center and bigger RB
TEs that can catch the ball
RPO!!!

 

[DUO_CORE]

Relocating the redzone between the 40's.

 

[shabazz]

12 men on offense…..

 

[speedkilz88]

I cant believe we drafted a blocking TE with hands of stone in the freaking 2nd round.

I swear, this team pisses away more 2nd round picks than any team in the league.

I can't believe you freaking think Schoonmaker has bad hands.

He dropped a pass just like Ferguson did earlier on in the season - a pass. (singular)

Dak’s not good at extending plays. That’s what a lot of these elite guys do so well.

Well for 40 million he needs to get good at something to get the ball in the end zone because field goals are just not going to get it.

And I don't necessarily just want him to extend the play I want him to make the play and get the ball in the end zone one way or another if he can't pass it in run it in do whatever it takes
He did a great job of it when he first came into the league for about 3 years.
Was very much what I liked about him that when things got tough he would put the whole team on his shoulders and just get it done.

I won’t say it………..
