Kellen Moore channeling his Inner McCorvey

Cowboys too scared to win.

Cowboys too scared to win.

For being anointed an offensive genius, his play calling sucked. The OL got whipped by 4 guys all night long, but he kept sitting Dak in the pocket. All the money they paid for that OL and they couldn't protect him from a 4 man rush.

What happened to all those deep throws that the Cowboys threw in the first 3 games? Don't know if it was more due to Gallup's absence or being too conservative due to the crowd noise but every possession looked just like last year.

Why do the talking heads keep calling that O-line great?

I have heard it 'til I want to puke. Although they sucked at it last night, they are generally pretty good at run-blocking. They have rarely been good as pass protection. Dak has been running for his life his entire career any time the 'Boys faced a defensive line with a pulse.

They weren't playing a bottom 3 team this week. Saints D did a good job taking away the run and making cowboys one dimensional.

 

[Seinfeld]

It was bizarre. Don’t get me wrong, gotta give credit where credit is due when it comes to the energy the Saints D played with all night

That said, aside from one line reverse sweep they called in the 4th qtr, there was absolutely zero imagination in the gameplan. I’ll say again that 18 Zeke rushes for 35 yards is just criminal.

Dallas OL

Could not open holes to run nor keep a clean pocket for more than 2.5 seconds. NO defense dominated the trenches in my opinion. No time for deep throws.

Did Moore ever called a screen pass? Screens are designed to slow down the pass rush. Saints DL were pinning their ears back putting pressure on Dak.

crowd noise and better pass rush. couple of the midrange ones dak had someone in his face or bearing down on him. could have also been better coverage. several throws were batted down last night.

still though. his play calling was way more predictable. He also didn't use as much zone read last night either or daks ability to run the ball. too much dink and dunk and Zeke up the middle.

 

[DirtyDog]

That game was won by the Saints OL/DL. They whipped Dallas on both sides of the ball. Dallas couldn't run the ball at all and the Saints could get 3-4 yards almost every carry and were basically content to grind it out.
