OT. DALLAS. No changes!🙄

I didn't expect them to fire him on the radio this morning.
Doesn't mean anything, one way or the other. Lots of moves to be made yet around the league.
I hope they find the right guy and make a change.

I have a hard time believing Dak can be successful under Lenahan. he’s been really predictable in his calls. Idk maybe Dak loves the guy, but I don’t see it. Dak needs an out of the box playcaller. the nfl seems to be rethinking the old mentality of everything has to be pro style. There are lots of new concepts working these days.
I look for them to make a move, or possibly several moves on the offensive coaching staff. In the past Jerry has announced any coaching changes since he is really the acting GM of the Dallas Cowboys. I think he did that even when Parcells was the head coach in Dallas.
I wouldn’t expect the Cowboys to make any mention of reassignments, dismissals, etc. until the NFL season is completely over. Hell, it wouldn’t shock me if Jason Garrett, Scott Linehan and/or several others effective the Monday after the Super Bowl. I don’t expect it, but it wouldn’t shock me. Jerry is the target of a lot of criticism, much of it warranted-but he isn’t stupid when it comes to football. To me, just a casual observer, it appears that the Cowboys have multiple problems with the offense, starting with the play calling. Now, that may not be a problem. The problem may be that they are changing the play at the line of scrimmage and they may be changing into the wrong play way too often. I just don’t know. I’m not a football coach, and I only played through a year of junior college before I got hurt. I also played defense, so I don’t know much about offense-but I can pick up tendencies based upon what the offense is doing pre-snap a lot of times, as anyone who has ever played much football can. I’m just saying that Linehan too often does the exact things in similar situations. A couple of years ago when the Cowboys had maybe the best OL in football along with Zeke they could do a lot of things without being creative. They now need to be more creative and that isn’t something Linehan seems to be very good at. On the other hand Jerry may not see the play calling being a problem. It could be something altogether different from that
I think that Cowboys ownership is motivated to have the best team possible-nobody hates losing more than Jerry and Stephen Jones. I do find it interesting that their winning Super Bowls stopped right about the same time as the salary cap started. Back before then Dallas just out-spent pretty much every other team in the league and stockpiled talent everywhere on the roster. My opinion is that if there was no salary cap that the Cowboys would have continued to win Super Bowls and probably would have won more of them than anyone over the past 25 or so years since the cap has been in place. That’s just my opinion, obviously.

one of the biggest losses on the season, for any team, was the Cowboys losing Travis Frederick. Tough for any team to overcome and Dak and those guys did a decent job. They got pushed around in the middle by the Rams. Injuries are a part of football, but you never expect to lose an All-Pro player to something like that. Who knows if he comes back full-speed or not, but it really affected the running game and pressure up the middle all year long.
The Cowboys biggest need is up the middle on both sides of the ball and added speed at WR/RB. They could really use a Tyrek Hill, as if they fall off trees.

I heard a Dallas morning news Cowboys reporter on cowherd this morning. He said Garrett said that but he didn't think it was that cut and dry. He said he was pretty sure that Jerry would step in and tell SL if he wanted to continue being an OC he would welcome him to look elsewhere, if he stayed in Dallas he was pretty sure Jerry would make him take another roll.
We'll see, hopefully that dude is right. This offense will never truly reach whatever its potential is as long as SL and JG are calling shots. And if you're going to do it, do it now, while you still have all these players on rookie deals. And they must draft another hopeful highend TE, someone that's a 6'6-7" safety valve that can also block and block well. And no SL isn't their only weakness, but they won a lot of games this year bc of their defense, and they won most of their games in spite of play calling, not because of it.
