Why does Schotty abandon the run so quickly?




Is there a more predictable playcaller in the league?

Not saying he's not doing this. but how much of it dak doing check with me and changes the play because he's seeing something. He's been in this offense a long time or a version of it. its Dak friendly meaning plays he's good at and likes to run. if you watch its mostly the same 10 plays just out of different formations. so that makes me think its more of a Check with Dak and he's changing it a lot more than the coaches are letting on. Again they dont want to get fired by going against Jerrys guy.
 
Just like in previous years, when we're not ripping off big runs, we run a play that only gets us 1 yard after running the ball down a teams throat, it's time to abandon the run!!!! Hey "we gave it a try, it worked, but stopped working, I have Wr's that need the ball too!"

They were behind all game so the OC panics and gets pass happy. Also, they can’t run the ball. Williams would be a good backup but no twitch to his game. The other RB’s shouldn’t even be in the NFL.
 
Because Jerry is spending 100 million a year on 3 players that aren't running backs. Dak wants to throw and Jerry wants him to throw and that leaves a 2nd year first time HC without any power. Whose to say shotteheimer wouldn't still be calling pass plays anyways. All 3 need to go.
 
I remember the legend Bill Parcells….hed run the ball three times and punt if he had to. He kept pounding the rock all day to control the clock, set up play action, and just physically beat the other team. If we had gotten Henry when we should’ve, this would be a great option. Parcells knew that punting is way better than Dak or Quincy tossing a pick, and controls field position. Running more also keeps the opposing offense off the field, out of rhythm, and rests your d. This is a coach that took a Quincy Carter and Troy Hambrick team to the playoffs, basically a rebuilding year.
 
Because they can't run.

Trying to run the ball is the dumbest thing they do. Coward offense.
