We should have run this play 15 times
No reason not to. Even after Witten fumbled I'm still going down the middle on 1st down.
Look how easy that is. Jarwin is open, Dak drops a perfect pass in, 1st down. There's no way NO was gonna be able to contain that AND keep Zeke bottled up.
No bro, take the results of the plays out of it. The actual individual play calls were NOT the plays that we had been successful with.
Kellen was using motion, misdirection, and stepped routes (aka checkdowns) to help Dak identify the coverage pre-snap to simplify the decision making process.
Not only did we NOT do that, but for some reason we kept trying to run between the tackles when we clearly had no advantage there. Kellen has shown that if Zeke isnt cooking, we're going to air it out and try to win the game that way...but again we didn't do that.
Their D-Line was getting crazy push...why did we not bring pollard in and pull the guard out wide NOT ONCE? Why weren't we going over the top with Devin Smith if the safeties were constantly in the box? Why did Tavon Austin come in strictly to be a decoy? Why did we force the ball to Amari if he clearly did not have a matchup advantage???
All of that shyt is the same Jason Garrett bs we've seen for the past 8 years. I don't think Kellen is some kind of genius but do you actually think (
based on the previous 3 games) when he was gameplanning this week he sat down and said "I'm giving Zeke the ball 25 times no matter what
"
If not...who do you think MIGHT walk into his office and say "we need to give Zeke the ball 25 times no matter what
" ???
