And Dak not having weapons shouldn't be an excuse anymore. He has Zeke, Cooper and Beasley. If you're firing Linehan (which I agree should happen), then he shouldn't be the only one gone. Kellen Moore and Jason Garrett (pipe dream) should go with him. Well yeaaaaaa to the part in bold. And Linehan's play calling has been good in some situations, others has been the talent of the players. But part of being a OC is having your offense ready to execute plays and making sure you have the position coaches that can help them along in those areas. If Linehan had so much say in the offense like we heard when it was his idea to cut Dez and rework the whole thing then he should have had more say then hiring Kellen Moore as a QB coach. Our QB has regressed because of his inadequacies as OC. There are offensive gurus who take pride in developing QB's. Others who take pride in discipline and executing their game plan to perfection. Something usually stands out with the good ones. But he has no redeeming qualities as OC. More often then not his play calling is our enemy such as rarely game planning on trying to get Zeke into the endzone when we are only 5 or 10 yards out. Zeke is built to be a very effective goal line back who has great vision, unbelievable balance, and outstanding power. But we don't use him in goal line situations. If he can't consistently call good plays, if his players cant execute even simple ones, and if his players are actually regressing. Then I put the majority of the blame on him. Sure Redball needs to go. But at the very least he hasn't gotten in the way of the defense we've built besides the Taco pick. So we know Garrett can delegate to better coaches then himself. But his OC just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average would have had us on the board last game and scored more then we did against the Saints and Philly. Had it not been for that Cooper trade. He would have been fired weeks ago.

anthbes Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Time of possession is great and all, but if you have a 10, 14, and 15 play drive with 0 points? What’s that say edit: weird double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s that say edit: weird double post This is where it gets tricky in my mind With out Witten this coaching staff has not devised a good option reciever in the red zone yes Dak also plays a part in this as he is still a young QB and hasn’t developed the feel and anticipation skills long time QB have to throw the ball when the WR is not open when he releases the ball cooper has helped here as Dak has shown more willingness to throw it to Cooper in anticipation of Cooper being able to make a contested catch Also the regression due to injury of our OL has made it difficult to just Run the ball in and also effected our passing game Just look at those first two drives. Why didn’t we score Drive 1 failed 2nd 1 RUN lost three yards followed by in my mind a real bad call trying to throw deep to Hurns???? Rather then a safe short route to say Beasley or Cooper. Followed by a blocked FG drive 2. Dropped TD pass followed by a failed 4-1 RUN. Drive 3 Rod Smith gets 1 yard in 1st down. Bad play call - Deep pass to Brown ???? Who can’t haul in a catchable but difficult catch. Then coaches go for a deep pass third down rather then try and get enough yards to just get a FG. Dak takes a sack waiting for a reciever to get open they were out of FG range so sack not the worst thing to happen it just makes no sense to me having Hurns and Brown run key deep passes as These two are rarely main pass targets and even less so run go routes again it is OC trying a low percentage trick play. On a side note am I the only one who thinks Smith due to his play of late really doesn’t deserve the pro bowl as much as say our other Smith or LVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those cases where he has been so elite for so long he sorta just got by on reputation. I would imagine LVE and Jaylon are reserves and will more than likely be playing in the pro bowl.

cowboyfanin2890 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Not Game Day material but not worthy of its own thread. December 21st 1959 Tom Landry accepted the head coach position of the Dallas Cowboys and thank God for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he strings another year like this he’ll even earn pro bowls in the end of his career maybe when his play has declined in older age just cause of name recognition Pro Bowls have never been 100% accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
