Philosophy! If I hear 1 more comment about philosophy, or 1 more praise of ANY of the 2019 staff... ____!!!

The offensive line: poor ergonomics=holding penalties.

Kellen Moore: piss poor playcalling, innappropriate down/ydg wastes, pass heavy offense = holding calls, redzone struggles, poor possession clocks, sacks, turnovers, low production vs quality defenses.

QB coach: childish throwing form, piss poor reads, innaccurate throws, dropped balls, pocket/receiver hanging, knockdown balls, sacks, fumbles, missed routes...

Defense: abandoned receivers in zone seams, turned around helmets, burned shoulder tackle atts., poor recognition of containment vs frontal coverage ydgs. excessive blind handchecking, etc...

Are we noticing the overlapping commonalities yet... bad physical fundamentals, bad philosophy, bad result

Everyone talks about philosophy and attitude. BUT...
...WHO TALKS ABOUT MATH, ERGONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS, and ATTENTION TO DETAILS. These are the foundations of victory.

NO COACH ON THE TEAM ADDRESSED ANY OF THE POOR ERGONOMICS ON OFFENSE OR DEFENSE. No coach addressed basic situational awarenesses on offense or defense.

Def: 3rd and 11, receiver runs a 12 yd route, CB plays containment with a Safety @17 yds... defensive FAIL.
- the CB should play frontal on the ball, stopping the 1st down, letting the Safety p/u containment.

Off: 1st and goal @ 9yd. 1stdwn playcall, 50/50ball to left rear corner endzone- knocked down. 2nddwn play 50/50ball to right rear corner endzone- knocked down.
3rd down play handoff left- shortgain.
FAIL.
- the 50/50 cornerball, regardless of highlight reels, is really an extremely low percentage option as both players tend to play hand vs hand on the ball while the endline acts as an extra defender.
- the yardage divided to 3 yards per down is well within the abilities of a Zeke run, a Dak run, a screen pass, short curl, or even a quick turn around/comeback route threatening at the endzone but taking shorter yards to set up an easy run td.
A qb rollout option would be lethal on first or second down, offering time, passing angle, and a run option to Dak while forcing the defense to sacrifice between runstop commitment or pass coverage.

NEVER REFER TO SUCH PLAYCALLING OR LACK OF SITUATIONAL/MATHEMATICAL AWARENESS AS PROFESSIONAL CALIBER COACHING.
Game fundamentals should be taught before college.

Shall we go further into discussions concerning the mathematical principals of roster selection. Okay let's do that as well.
The Cowboy coaching staff routinely fields three 6ft/200lb receivers who get SQUASHED in centerfield by linebackers, resulting in dropped balls while also allowing defenses to get away with single coverages. The worst part of the monotyping mistake is allowing the defenses to use the same linebackers as runstuffers instead of forcing defensive roster mismatches, run gaps and double coverages to open the secondary for both run, pass and yac gains. Only Amari, among the 6ft/200lb protos, has the speed and surehandedness to demand extra coverage.
As a perfect compliment with Amari, a Dez-type strongman would provide a big boxout receiver to own short centerfield, drawing linebackers out of position, or making any single coverage catches easily for moderate 5-10 yd slants & turnarounds to reduce pocket stress. Additionally, a Bease-type small quick seamhunter would force defenses to either pull more linebackers away from scrimmage or swap to smaller dbacks with less runstuff ability. This mathematical flexibility in roster assignments offers the best potentials of defeating ANY style of defense whether the opponents strength is pass rush, 3-4 pass coverage, or 4-3 runstuffing. It also offers a wider more secure playbook which is less readable to defenses mentally while placing greater burdens on linebackers physically. Again, this is NOT a PHILOSOPHY, but a MATHematical probability that linebackers struggle when called to match every physical type from small quick receivers, to stout running backs and tall tight ends.

If math is now on your mind, compare Dave Wanstadt's ProBowl-less defense ranked #1 vs pass and #1 against run, while anchoring a phenominal center linebacker behind a great pass rush. They had NO Deion Sanders... but they measured net coverages to the yard, making team tackles, making proper 'baton passes' to close seams, and playing within the reason of not allowing pocket time for long ball passes. Enough said there for both coaching and player mentality.

COWBOY UP, Gentlemen!!
