We Know Why
Dallas is Losing
and only a totally new coaching
philosophy will
fix it. |
| by paydirtfootball.com |
Dallas Cowboy fans; do you remember the optimism you
had before this season started? Dak was going to be
better. Your young linebackers were off the charts,
upgraded wideouts, a great offensive line, a top ten
defense. The wise ole tight end, Jason Witten, had
returned to the fold. Kellen Moore was going to shake
things up and be less predictable. I could go on and
on....
So now it's the day after the loss to the Chicago Bears
and your team is 6-7. You sit there wondering, what happened
and who's to blame as you slowly lose your football
mind.
Jimmy Johnson left the organization after the 1993
season with back to back Super Bowls, and not counting
the coat tails Super bowl of '95 Coach Gunsmoke
was able to claim, the Cowboys have been like a slinky
on an escalator, always getting there but never
arriving. This all under the sole direction of Jerry
Jones. It's time for a change. It's time for Jerrah to
hire a genuine head coach and retire to the front
office to write checks. (The Cowboy in the high
Castle).

What's Wrong in Big D? |
One season ago the Dallas Cowboys
were on their way to an NFC East Division crown
finishing with a 10-6 regular season record. The
defense was among the best in the NFL led by a duo of
young, athletic, and very fast linebackers: Jaylon
Smith and Leighton Van Der Esch. Now, one year later,
these very same Cowboys are in utter disarray, below
.500, likely to miss the playoffs, and will probably
fire long time head coach Jason Garrett.
How did this all happen? Last year, offensive
coordinators could not figure out ways to contend with
the speed of the Dallas linebackers. While playing a
base 4-2 with a single high safety, Dallas linebackers
were able to give run support, short and medium range
coverage responsibilities, and even blitz when called
upon. The defensive success led to a false sense of
security which morphed into a doomed philosophy that
believed no NFL team would be able to solve the
riddle of the Cowboys' defense. And, that very same
philosophy led to a complete lack of evolutionary game
scheming.
But what exactly does all this pontificating
actually mean?
Let's take a look at what the
Dallas base 4-2 is designed to do and go from there.
