You Are The Coach. You Trust Your QB. What's Your Call?

[DallasEast]

Brian Schottenheimer said he overcoached his quarterback and admitted his mistake (link). He said he trusts and acknowledges his quarterback, "...doesn't play the game that way (link)."

Obviously, Schottenheimer cautioned his quarterback not throw based on what he saw. Below is a split-screen. On the left is third-and-goal, from the five, right hash mark, fourth quarter, last Sunday. Pre-snap read: Nate Wiggins has press coverage on George Pickens. On the right is second-and-goal, from the five, right hash mark, first quarter, December 2024. Pre-snap read: DaRon Bland allows a 4-yard cushion on Ja'Marr Chase:

How would you coach your quarterback before the down based on the pre-snap look?

NOPE GP pushed of want open early, and likely would have flag if he caught it.. facts, just stop already..

the plan is open early throw it if not throw it away, that was the right call..

If you truly trust Dak you let him make the decision.

You do not realize you first stated your observation of what George Pickens did after the snap, which is not what the thread is about. Then you followed with what you believe is what Schottenheimer said. That relates to the thread topic.

Is it safe saying you believe what was immediately seen, moments after the snap, was how you would coach your quarterback? That is what this thread is about. What you, the coach, would instruct your quarterback. Give me a few essays. I will not tell you to stop.

I tell him, "let's win this".

I thought your posts would improve if they got a lot shorter
I was wrong

 

[DUO_CORE]

I've got the perfect play.

The only comment to make is don't take a sack.

I voted to throw Pickens the ball and place where he can get it.

If your QB demands to be the highest paid player in league history you demand he goes and wins the game.

E. Drink coffee!!!

F. Give Dak the power he needs, let him win the game

First and goal from the 2. With a timeout. First order of business.....take Schoonmaker off the field

 

[DoctorChicken]

Call the best play I can at the time and don’t say anything.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The only wrong answer is "Automatically throw the ball away".

Which is exactly what Schotty told him.

I will head the Get Rid of Schottenheimer movement if he EVER says that, lol.

 

[Captain-Crash]

how about, "pack your **** and get"

I'm the coach.

That assumes Schnotty actually told Dak to chunk it to the moon.

Did he really say it? We'll never know.... so you're left with believing Schnotty actually said that to Dak, and I have a feeling that might not be accurate.

That is what I don't get! If the Coach said throw it to the moon, then why didn't Dak tell that in the huddle that that is what is going to happen. Why run a freaking reciever route if that was the case?

You give Pickens a chance. You can trust him to battle for the ball and not allow an interception. That's Pickens' greatest strength.

Dak knows this. It's on him. Shotty is just covering.

And the thing is, Dak probably has made that throw tons of times. Why not this time, I have no clue, but that is a Dak thing I guess.
