Why doesn’t Dallas do what the Rams did?

[John813]

The rams made 3 big trades in one offseason.

Talib, Peters and Cooks.
Not sure they can retain Peters when it comes to 2nd contract time, but it was a short term move to win it all.

where the rams have it over the cowboys is the coaching and some talent but its the coaching mostly the head coach knows what he is doing and has a goal and is sticking to it its enjoyable to watch a football like last night instead of this crap old and slow offense dallas is trying to use

You have to have a owner who knows when he does not know everything

hire a GM new Coach

While we're at it, I'd like a billion dollars, 25 year old Tony Romo, the 1992 offensive line, Randy Moss, Bob Hayes and Terrell Owens.

Thank you
Mcvay is lightyears ahead of garrett and i mean lightyears.....the rams offense was pretty much the same with fisher and outside of gurley they didnt move the ball nearly as good as they are now

This off season, the Rams signed Suh, Marcus Peters, and Talib in free agency
Guess what? It’s working..........

It seems their roster/team building strategy is light years ahead of ours.




There are NFL fans out there right now who are disappointed with their team’s start to the 2018 offseason. Whether it was talent lost, talent gained, or the contractual implications that ultimately impact the organization for this year and beyond, there is undoubtedly an entire fan base out there that is not satiated. They wanted more for, or from, their team.

But that is not the case for Los Angeles Rams’ fans, where there’s more excitement than downtime.

Players are being traded, picks are being shuffled, pro bowl players are being acquired, atrocious contracts are being discarded or reworked, and they are already on the books for compensatory picks in 2019. It seems as though every day in March a Rams’ fan could wake up and just feel the excitement.

Goodbye Robert Quinn, Alec Ogletree, and Trumaine Johnson. No love lost, and best of luck to you in your new homes. But hello Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Sam Shields, and Ndamukong Suh.

Consider it addition by subtraction. And what the Rams have added this offseason isn’t something they’re hoping to build upon for a future run deep into the postseason. It’s predicated on a Super Bowl run in 2018.

bro, u forgot the part about hiring a real hc

Tavon Austin is the #2 bright spot on offense behind Elliott and makes less mental mistakes.

Austin wasnt a FA my man.

 

[Batman1980]

Austin wasnt a FA my man.

That's right sorry, we traded a 6th rounder for him.

 

[jterrell]

The thing to take from this is the hope that an underachieving team can be revitalized quickly.
That if the offensive change from a 1995 type in Fisher to a modern guru worked perhaps that would work here as well.

Arguing Dallas should have gone all in based on these early returns is just goofy.

Dallas should have given us the offense they swore they were in the off-season.
Not the same failed offense from the last 6 games of last year.

 

[jterrell]

Yea, that's my point.

Signing high priced guys have been fool's gold 90% of the time it seems.
Signing a Nose Tackle specifically would be wasted massively cap space because they probably arent gonna let him do anything worth paying 10+M by scheme.
The other 2 guys were CBs and right now I'd rather have our 2 CB than the Rams any day of the week.
But I'd eat my shoe for any of their QB, OC/HC, WR1-4.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Are you suggesting we sign good players.? S’matter with you....they cost money

This FO arrogantly believes that they will outdraft everyone else and only want "hidden gems" from other teams like Mackenzie Bernadeau, Robert Blanton, and Andrew Gachkar.

The people here thinking Jerry is going to go after someone like Lincoln Riley, as I've seen suggested on this board, are going to be soooooo disappointed by his next hire.

Every wr Dallas has had or will have will be useless as long as Dak is here.

Outside the rookie Gallup they've been useless elsewhere too.

It was by design to step back at WR big time and go with a large number of WRs as opposed to any actual like starters.
5'8" 175 lb Beasley is by far the best.
That's umm not good.

It's shocking that we actually cut even massively declining Dez. Right now we have no one who will break a tackle and get yards after catch.
Dez would still be our biggest threat on a slant (likely Dak's best throw) if he rolled out of bed and signed today.

This has all been a mess and the plan has obviously not worked. Given the lackadasiacal pre-season it felt like they had this offense all under wraps and such but wow joke was on us. The terrible offensive play even with 2nd and 3rd units versus 2nd and 3rd units was just the offense...

Jerry isn't making the hire but in many ways Stephen is far more conservative so I suspect you are correct.

The problem with this offense this year is that we don't have a #1 wr. Since the days of Irvin this offense, when successful, has always had a wr that required a cb with safety help coverage. Why is that important? To make the defense make a decision on where they're going to allocate resources. If they put an extra man in the box then we'll pass, if they keep the safeties deep then we'll run. It's pretty simple. Last year with all the talk about Dez not requiring a double anymore, Rod Woodson, defensive coach on the Raiders said that they played a safety over Dez the entire game.

This year there's no decision to be made, put 8 men in the box and take your chances with Dak and it's paid off for the opposition. Wide receiver by committee can only work when you have someone like a Brady or Rodgers, you know a GOAT, for Dallas to think that Dak was on that level was a serious mistake. So now you have a subpar passer throwing to mediocre wrs thus you're getting what you paid for.

 

[khiladi]

why did NE let him go?? looks like they could use him? odd Big Bill and the awesome NE org let cooks go

They tried extending him in the off-season long-term but talks broke off. They got the 23rd pick in the draft this year and still thought they’d have Edelman and recouped the fourth rounder they lost from Deflategate. So they got two first rounders this year basically and swapped another pick or two.

They also still had Edelman expecting to play with Gronk and statistically they were pretty much almost as effective passing last year as this year and Gronk played only half a season two years ago.

 

[Captain-Crash]

simple answer, we do not have the coach or quarterback. you can scheme all day and night, get the best offensive line, the best wr's and te's, he's just no where near as good as Goff. Well maybe he might be as good as Goff when he was in elementary school.

They clearly aren’t capable of that. These are coaches that basically been coaching in one system for years and years. And Dallas didn’t proceed with the Callahan experiment as playcaller because Garrett was interfering and didn’t want his offense to go bye-bye, rendering him totally useless, which is hard to top because of how useless he is. Jerry specifically said that he went with Linehan so they could retain the offense and it’s terminology, but just having a playcaller knowing how to utilize talent to ironically get Dez the ball like Linehan did with Megatron and run the ball.
