Decoding McCarthy - Non-Explosiveness
The Cowboys were not close to where they need to be offensively vs the Saints.
Tuesdays – since about 2008 – have been my day to evaluate the offense in this space. We have called it “Decoding” over those years and then the name behind the decoding is the man with the play-sheet calling the plays and hopefully putting them in an order to attack that week’s opponent. This is where the football nerd in me gets to figure out the tactical and strategic plot-lines of the game and get a feel for how well it worked out for that side of the ball. For those of you new here, two things: 1) ask questions of anything you don’t quite understand and 2) be aware that we do defense on Wednesdays.
Here we go. Our objectives today:
Evaluate the offense in general and then closer looks at:
The underperforming run game woes.
Problems in the red zone.
Checking in with Schoonmaker and Tolbert
Look at some All-22 film and see what we can see.
