Will we suddenly get conservative now?

As I watch this crazy run we are on..

That's my biggest concern.

Is Linehan going to now turn to running Zeke 30 times a game and dink and dink to try to win games?

Or do we still play it aggressively as we have and see what happens?

In the past Garrett has been known to get very conservative keeping games close with the 4th Qt. being the decisive point in the game to try to win.

We have often been burned by that philosophy.

Will Garrett try to choke the play calling to fit his philosopghy as the playoffs get closer and HFA is within reach?

This is very new territory for Garrett and this team.

Can Jerrah keep from putting in Romo if we drop a couple of games in the days ahead?

Interested in your feelings on this.

Or do we still play it aggressively as we have and see what happens? Yes. Keep the pressure on.

Will Garrett try to choke the play calling to fit his philosopghy as the playoffs get closer and HFA is within reach? No what we are doing works. 10-1 speaks volumes.

Can Jerrah keep from putting in Romo if we drop a couple of games in the days ahead? Yes. Romo stays on the bench unless Dak gets hurt.

`I always thought the conservatism was a product of getting everybody on the same page of confidence.
When the two rookies came in they demonstrated the ability to execute and deliver then the handcuffs came off.

I've been very critical of JG in the past and I still think he has some ways to go to become one of the top HC in the league. Having said that, I doubt he'll change anything now.

One thing he doesn't do, either for good or bad, is make changes quickly. He is pretty stubborn when it comes to making changes.

Luckily, unlike in that past with JG, what he and his coaching staff is doing now is good and shoudn't be changed.

Against a defensive team like Minnesota they might get more conservative because Minny wins games when opponents make mistakes in that stupid loud stadium of theirs... though I would argue that the current balance is pretty conservative already, they won't have to deviate much, if at all.

This. Dak and the offense has proven they can handle the pressure situations and still manage th game with minimal mistakes therefore there is no need to handcuff this offense.

This is now a mature coaching staff. They have a formula for each game and will continue working to make each game a win. I have zero concern that their approach will change.
