Will Shotty bring his own offense, or use last years offense?

You can only run the offense the mental midget QB allows you to run.

Looks like they’re keeping the whole wonky west coast/Coryell hybrid they run.

Goodness knows our offense needs a refresher or a change, I'm curious to know what offense we will be running with this season. Will it be the same, use some of his/what we had last year, or a complete overhaul! So many questions to be answered. Please give your thoughts on what you think he'll do.....

He's been here for a few years now, coaching, developing, and analyzing Moore and McCarthy's offenses. I wouldn't imagine he would revert back to the terminology he used in Seattle, and I can see him running something similar to what we're used to....but I do expect him to lean on the ground game more than his predecessors. Same playbook, different philosophy type of thing.

Verbiage will be the same. Some plays will stay with slight change in formation alignment, but all in all every coach every year bring in new plays tosses out what does not work and they will adjust week to week. So NewYorkSeattleTexasCoast offense is what your going to see with sprinkles of what others are doing thats working in the league.

I think you are asking for thoughts from the wrong people. You should go get the players thoughts.

But I will chime in with my thoughts anyway.

We will see basically the same type of offense. With the exception, and hopefully his improvement. He already said they will use more motion.
The only motion they used, was for 7 plays this year. The Landry Shift.

I think they need more screens, and slants. They use the roll out and throw to the TE coming across the field to the flats or around the hash marks pretty effectively. Then they get away from it.
Which reminds me, the need more crossing patterns as well. Dez was great at those. Which we need another Dez type WR. Higgins would be great to bring in. But he will cost too much.

Also need to go deep more. But a great run game will help with all of that.

Take the bread and butter play KC used for years, and with success. Teams finally started to defend it better, but it is still successful most of the time. Other teams started using it as well.
So you keep a RB or WR hanging back, out toward the sideline. Run players down field or the opposite side. And if a play is not there. Maohomes would simply throw it to the player hanging back. Good for a 1st down and a good 10 yards about every time.

Maybe I should go be the OC.

thank you for your thoughts, much appreciated

This. Going back to Garrett, then with Moore as playcaller, then McCarthy, I kept reading comments from players around the league how predictable the Cowboys offense was.

In the press conference, Schotty mentioned using more presnap shifts and motion to confuse reads, more tempo, and marrying run and pass looks so they can better disguise the play. I'll wait to see how things actually look, but those comments are promising

...that's interesting. ONly makes sense, to keep timing off on offense using Tactics. I always likened football with Chess situations.

KC does this lots.

you are getting some good thoughts on this topic, coog. Topics like this one suggest you are, indeed, mod-material.

Same offense with slight modifications. The whole reason Schottenheimer was hired was to keep continuity. You might see different run/pass splits. You might see things ran out of different formations, but largely the offense will be running the same plays and concepts as they have been.

More under the center than shotgun! More motions!
