Must admit, I am loving the pressure on us atm.


It's long overdue

I attribute many of Josh's errors to the pressure he feels to create something offensively because of the inconsistencies in our play calling.

I am steering so clear of ALL sports media and punditry at the moment.

 

There are so many out there who said Allen would be a bust when he was drafted, and have just been waiting to pounce. I can feel the vindicated glee out there.  Fortunately, something I would guess to be a temporary condition.

 

And that tweet from the Diggs in Dallas.  What absurdity  What have the Dallas Cowboys done in the past quarter of a century?

"they are far too dependent on execution level being a 10 for the play to be successful"

 

Bingo. That's what I've been seeing as well.

Does this go back to the Fournette quote about the offense being the most complicated he’s seen?  Maybe dumb it down for these knuckleheads.

KISS principle.

The whole offense has gone Billy Joe Hobart - rumor has it the players only meeting was called in part because guys are on their phones, social media, etc during meetings.

And the 3rd & under 5 yards plays were crazy.  That should be a quick out or hook pattern or something along those lines. It shouldn't be Allen dropping back and having to wait for plays to develop.

Definitely feels like that. I mean, Daboll would scheme guys open, lot of pre-snap motion to confuse the defense or do things that gave Josh a chance to see what they were doing. With Dorsey it's really felt like, "Okay, just go beat your man and out-execute them every play!" He's had some decent play designs but it just doesn't feel like he's done enough to create mismatches or create situations that put a strain on the defense.

We're hearing it on this board.  Everyone is projecting their own feelings onto the team and players.  Until I hear things from players and coaches themselves, I do not buy any of it.  McD is not perfect, we all know that.  I think firing Dorsey was appropriate.  His inconsistencies were maddening!  We'd have a successful game plan and then we don't see it for the rest of the season!  We have success running the ball which opens up the pass and we score.  The suddenly we're back to ignoring the run.   Special teams is flawed as well, but I'm placing a lot of that on Martin's inconsistencies as a punter which compromises coverage as well as field position.  

I would like to see McD appoint someone else to call the defensive plays.  I think he has too much on his plate on game day and the errors we saw in clock management, etc at the beginning of his HC career and which did improve, have now returned.

 

So...let's see how the rest of the season plays out.  If the team responds positively and we see the team from earlier in the season, then McD has turned things around.  If not, then it would not surprise me to see a change come seasons end.

 

But for now...it's all hyperbole.

McDermott’s press availability today was hard to watch. Man, he looked cooked. He said Brady has some ideas for the offense.  Let’s hope they don’t involve shotgun at the 1 yard line or deep sideline passes to 5’ 6” double-covered receivers.

Not getting the ball?  As of today Diggs is tied for 1st in catches, tied for 2nd in TD's and 5th in receiving yards.  Seems like he's getting the ball to me.

 

 

3 catches last night, 6 the week before. 3 of last 4 weeks he's had less balls than earlier in the season. Hasn't had 100 yard game since Giants. I'm hoping he's fine w/ everything. I'm just wary of what his inner circle is saying & that he may want out w/ all the offensive issues.
