Lots of good stuff in the article including this:

cross the NFL, passes out of heavier packages (like 12 personnel) have been much more effective than those out of lighter looks (11 personnel) over the past few years: In 2018, throws from 11 personnel averaged 7.1 yards per attempt; those out of 12 personnel averaged 8.1. Despite that, Dallas passed out of 12 personnel just 9 percent of the time last season (the league average was 14 percent) and threw just 78 passes with two tight ends or a fullback on the field. Compare that to the 49ers (228) and Patriots (164), and the gap between the Cowboys and the league’s most innovative schemes becomes apparent. “I think you’d be kinda dumb not to look at those things,” Moore said of the Niners and Pats offenses. “They’ve been doing some really positive things, and it’s certainly been branching out throughout the league.”

Cowboys were ranked 24th in the number of times they used pre snap motion. Also they were the 24th ranked offense. Coincidence? I say nay nay!

At one point in the article it talks about how Moore will call plays to Dak's strengths and preferences, but also how Moore plans on calling plays that will challenge Dak. Hopefully the combination will make Dak a better qb.

Better OL pass protection alone will help Dak be a better QB.

Weed and Cabo will do that.

More ammunition for why the rest of the NFL is avoiding Linehan like the plague that he is.

His former defenders would do well to finally realize it.

wait wait all I heard about weed was the munchies. You lose weight?

 

[CATCH17]

2016 Zeke is still the best Zeke we have seen because he had more home runs in his pocket.

The last couple of seasons he has just looked too bulky.

Ohio State 6 pack Zeke that has enough power but can also scoot like a dart is a better back then Marshawn with another gear Zeke.

 

[blueblood70]

Weed and Cabo will do that.

dumb ignorant statement weed makes you hungry and eat...so does alcohol unless you are an alcoholic and alcohol is your food..

I've had the same thoughts (and even said them here on occasion). He hasn't had the same explosion in the open field since his rookie season - if it's weight related then I welcome this development.

 

[DandyDon52]

there is a reason he is trying to lose weight, which may be even he thinks he was overweight??

Congrats -- keep eating like there's no tomorrow, drink to your heart's content and be merry! Man, that's the life!

Challenge Dak you say? That hate will come Moores way before he can even figure out why...if we continue to struggle in the pass game

Garrett still sucks. Always has and always will.

Yeah, it's a pathetic attempted "get out of jail free card" for coaching failure and shortcomings.

"The gameplan was brilliant, the players failed to execute that brilliance."

Wouldn't it be great to actually have a job where nothing that goes wrong is ever your fault? It's too bad the real world doesn't work that way.

I think everyone is just kidding around Blue. Nothing else to do until the season starts and we see or don't see Zeke in the lineup. Honestly, I think some are frustrated with our star running back wanting a new contract with 2 years left on his old agreed upon/signed deal. Just my take.

This is the team that wanted Julius Jones and Felix Jones to bulk up and lose speed lol

Simply amazing crazy stuff with some of you Dak-Zoids here!
So let me get this str8 4 no 1 picks (Collins would have gone in the 1st) and a 2nd Rounder is not good enough for Dak to perform.
Well bud you better call the Chinese and get that great wall of theirs over to Big D asap!

PATHETIC SIMPLY PATHETIC!!!

I think this is the right approach regardless of what happens this season. Of course it depends on the balance, but this is the only way Dak is going to get better. Give him plays/route combos he's comfortable with, but occasionally give him setups/pre-snap motion where, if he knows what to look for, he can know what the defense plans to throw at him. He needs to improve his mechanics and reading defenses. Kitna and Moore are giving him new tools to work with. If Dak still can't succeed the Cowboys need to know that ASAP.
