[millennial_legend]

Jeff Fisher for HC

4th and inches from just inside midfield? Chris Jones time!

It’s easy to explain, how long have you watched football? Anytime you make a change at the coaching position can go two ways, either the team continue to spiral, or the team see it as a galvanizing move with fear that their jobs are on the line next, you get a fresh voice and dare I say it, a better coach. Not only was JG voice a new one, but Paul Pasqualoni(sp) was as well. I mean really, that had to be explained?

Doesn't apply. And I agree that kind of coaching change can make a difference. But you said we had an 1-7 team. Which means the players are simply bad. And you don't go 5-3 without your franchise QB if the talent isn't good enough to do it. Talent was there obviously. Just needed a fresh start. And then there is the evidence that the team went 11-6 the year before.

 

[CowboyRoy]

so we should run on first downs, every time? never pass? wouldn't that make you predictable?

down and distance in the subsequent downs often dictate run/pass.....run for 2 yards...2nd and 8....if you haven't been successful all day running it...then I tend to lean to pass...if you bang your head into a wall and it hurts...bangining into it again doesn't make the pain less......

NFL is about balance, execution, don't execute well, I don't care run or pass you will suck either way regardless of how many times you do it.

again, run it effectively vs. run it...the two are different...if you can't understand the difference between the two, then not sure if its worth my time discussing this...

Nope, your not getting it. Running the football is a commitment to do so . A team and offensive commitment. You run it whether its working or not. Now if your down 20 then by all means wing it.

And thanks for proving my point. You need balance. Cant abandon the run early in games like Garrett did in those days. Gotta stick with it and remain balanced.

Yup. And then when you do occasionally pass on 1st down, it works because they're not expecting it.

Being 1-7 doesn’t mean the players were bad and I never said they were, that’s your assumption. Now, the team was playing bad, the coach had lost his defense, they quit. Now, it also doesn’t mean the team was good because they went 5-3 in the second half of the season with a backup qb and it definitely wasn’t the same team from the year before. Each year is its own with different challenges, so it being a playoff team the year before was irrelevant.

Yes. And they cant tee off on your QB.

Yep, it doesn't mean they don't have the talent just because they went 1-7. Exactly. The did NOT have a 1-7 talent level team. It was simply a matter of injuries and coaching. 8 games is too small of a sample size. And when you factor in the 11-6 talent from the year before. Its erroneous to say Garrett inherited a bad team. He inherited a good team that had lost its way and lost its QB and leader.

you had no point....and if you keep running it, and end up with 3rd and longs, your chances of converting those are lower and you are getting off the field with a bunch of 3 and outs....

its about balance of execution....not balance in total number of attempts..

it seems you don't know much about football.... you probably are very young , driven by statistics of the game.....and seem so driven by being winning an argument than being right...hmmm, why such a concern? ...... you have to have the willingness to learn before the desire to be right.....stick around you learn a few things by listening....if you have the willingness

id personally like bill cowher if we could get a hold of him and talk him into it...

You’re proving my point...lol injuries are a part of the game, coaching was bad, which made them a BAD team. That’s the team he took over , why is that so hard to comprehend? The Raiders were a bad team last year, they were in the playoffs the year before....lol

 

[Big_D]

Any coach at all.. take your pick.

 

[Hennessy_King]

It really doesnt matter because no self respecting coach can deal with the Jerry circus that was evident in all or nothing

It’s calked ‘commitment to the run’ because many times, you are not successful early. If you are successful early, then you don’t exactly have to commit do you? You’re just doing what works.

Stop me if you saw this for about 1/2 of Romo’s Career.....but we’d run for 2 yards on 1st down like clock work, and then pass every 2nd and3rd down.

The 2nd half would come, and the only runs came in forms of draws on 3rd and 19 due to the sacks and incompletes stacking up because THE ENTIRE DEFENSE KNEW WE WERE PASSING ALMOST EVERY PLAY.

Not to mention it tires out the defense—and in those games where tony pulled rabbits out of hats in the last 3 minutes.....the D would go ahead and give up a 30 second TD drive and put Tony back out there to throw a game ending interception (even though we thought he’d already win the game).

All of our good teams ran the ball. It lets your offense have an identity and dictate the pace of play.

More teams win with a balanced attack than air raids.

there was so much BS and made up stories in that, that I don't know where to begin....

during garrett's time as coordinator, our run pass ratio was about 40/60....run pass ratio on first downs about 60/40......

the play by plays are there for you to see on NFL.com..the run pass ratio for each year....
2007 - run/pass 42%/58% ----
2008 - run/pass 42%/58%-----
2009 run/pass 43%/57%
2010 run/pass 41%/59% ---
2011 run/pass 40%/60%
2012 run/pass 31%/69% ----
2013 run/pass 38%/62%
2014 run/pass 50%/50% --- the year DeMarco almost ran for 2000.......
2015 run/pass 42%/58%

the 40/60 ratio is about league average and in fact the better passing teams have a higher percentage of making the playoffs than better rushing teams.....
all there for you to see for yourself, but given it won't fit your agenda and perception, you will choose to ignore


so this notion of all good teams ran the ball is total BS....if you go back over the past 10 years, most of the playoff teams are from teams that have successful passing games and good rushing teams have a lower percentage of making the playoffs....

Sadly i have to agree with this

27 pages of I love Garrett. lol

Now it's up to 32. lol

Lol....I’m young, but your the angry guy getting offended and ranting?

You can have any opinion you want. You are entitled. Make it a great day and pound the football.

So it was injuries and coaching and not the team? We agree. The team was good enough.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Which Head Coach that is available is better than Garrett right now? nobody is better than Garrett, and my Garrett fathead should arrive soon. I think it will fit great above my bed.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

offended? why offended? angry? why be angry?

young kids do and say what they do....in time they will grow up, learn ....its called experience.

when you go based on your perceptions you will be wrong most often than not...use facts and you will succeed.

you are obviously idealist....that goes with being young, and then comes experience.....

I am glad you showed some willingness to learn, given many would have resisted.
