What's the Vision for the Cowboys in 2025?

[Chasing6]

Cowboys 29-34 when Dak throws 33 or more passes.

............47-11 when Dak throw 32 or less passes.

The key is a dominant running attack.

Dak is a very good quarterback in a balanced offense. He is not the strong arm, pinpoint accuracy elite passer that strikes fear into a defenses late in the 4th quarter. He is an efficient field general getting the ball into the hands of the playmakers,

Those stats are similar for all good QB's.

Seriously doubt their has ever been a QB is 47-11 throwing 40+ passes.

I have no idea where BS is going to take this team but a bounce back from last year's disaster would be awesome.

I mean, not what you want. Use your theory of mind. What is their vision?

Every year teams start with a vision of how they want to be and every year they make adjustments attempting to account for their vision of their team.

I think they envision having a line that can dominate so much in the run game, it almost doesn't matter who the back is. That said, that's just a way to cover their arses if injuries at RB happen. I also think they see Jaydon Blue as an NFL ready back, who can contribute this year. If he does anything, work on those fumbles.

Pickens will stretch the field and make teams pay for doubling Lamb. Our TEs will be more involved in the running game this year as I expect quite a few 12 sets from Shottenheimer. That, along with the additional threat or Pickens also opens more opportunities for TE passing production. This will be a better year for our TEs.

Overall, I think the Cowboys think they'll have an electric offense for the 2025 season, and I like their optimism even if they are gambling in some areas. Those are good bets, and may lay off.

I think they expect this to be a good year for special teams and consistent with the previous few years.

As far as defense, I think they believe Eberflus can take an underachieving defense from last year and make them competitive this year. To be honest, I think they may be right.

Eberflus emphasizes takeaways and pressure, and he's done it with lessor players, I'd say, in Indianapolis.

If guys like Revel and Overshown can play by week 8 or 9, I think they think this team has a fighting chance down the stretch using Eberflus' rather vanilla scheme. They may be right. But I think the Cowboys also envision Odhigizuwa having a larger role in this new scheme, which is based on pressures probably moreso than sacks. Given the strategy, mostly zone coverages with a 4-5 man rush, they probably think they'll have a shot at being a team ranked in the top 5 in takeaways if this group can generate pressure.

Im not sure what what they're envisioning at safety, but hopefully they work that out.

The vision for any Cowboys team under Jerry is always a mixture of football and marketing starting with collecting stars that you can sell and stay relevant and interesting for ratings. That’s not a healthy way to build a championship roster because it’s more like fantasy football than real football.

With Will McClay on board, JJ has been able to collect some good talent (mostly through the draft), the last 10 years with an emphasis (especially under Garrett and apparently Schottenheimer too) on running the ball on offense and getting defensive pressure on the QB when you have a lead. But…If you don’t have a lead, the inability to stop the opponents’ run game has been a huge problem in the playoffs.

This is not a bad vision on paper. But it’s much harder to make happen on the field.

Building a team that can impose its will on opponents is very hard to do in a league where the gap in talent between the best and worst teams is very small.

One of the inherent problems with your owner also being the GM and hiring his children as his key executives is the lack of accountability at top of the organization where all visionary decisions are made.

The only people whose jobs are on the line for a failed vision are the mid-level people like the players and coaches. Because there is no accountability at the top, there really is no accountability anywhere in this organization. With no one at the top being held accountable for failure, the whole “family” leadership team is essentially playing fantasy football. It’s what we’ve seen for three decades.

Bottom line vision: Sell tickets, be relevant, and win a SB in that order.

I think Pass2Run needs to read this.
After reading these facts it sounds like Run2Pass should be this team's goal.

All I'm saying is nowadays if you can't pass, you probably aren't running a whole lot.

Balance is the key.
