It’s time for Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy to face the facts. The offense is struggling and a lot of that has to do with McCarthyand’s timing and game management. The players seem frustrated with the offense, and it may be time for McCarthy to turn the play-calling duties over to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer’s play calling could spark an offense that looks very vanilla and limited defensively in the football.
We’ve heard so much about an attack on the Texas coast, and so far it’s been highly unlikely. The Cowboys went from a high-engine crime to one who prefers to be methodical, moving the football along the field; But it comes with risks and benefits.
While Dallas has a winning record (prizes), the risk is exactly what we see: an offense, to which any real identity lacks and has shown us the Gold of Fooland#039; s in the first two games of the season.
What happened to the offense we saw against the giants and jets, where players rallied and used choices to open players and create turnovers at the click?
As notes John Owning of PFF and#039; this crime has become stationary and trivial, thanks to McCarthy. Now that the head has defeated its former offensive coordinator (Kellen Moore) in the game call battle, now and#039; It’s time for him to let Schottenheimer call the plays and get that offense buzz again. . Of course they scoff at the idea, but it and they should do it so they can help the team and provide a spark. By doing so, McCarthy can focus on playmaking and clock management, which has been questionable this season.
People worry that Schottenheimer runs more than he passes (fans are tired of how committed McCarthy has been to the run), but the offense is still built around Dak Prescott and Schottenheimer isn’t going to change the offense radically.
That change would mean more situational play calling and bringing in someone who could be a more aggressive and imaginative playmaker than McCarthy, who seems to be sticking with the drink philosophy used in Green Bay.
Schottenheimer isn’t afraid to move the pocket to help his offensive line and quarterback. Right now, McCarthy doesn’t. Schottenheimer also uses the crowd more, but not to find a player who is short or slanted. Instead, he plans to take deep snaps like the Cowboys used under Kellen Moore. This move would be good for the entire team, and it’s easy to do during a bye week
