No puzzle here! Coaching staff needs to go! Need new culture around this team!
Good luck getting Mickey to concede that
They did not run Ezekiel elliot 30 times that’s why they lost. Period. The dumb talking head bandwagoner sports mouth ms never get it right. You run the ball like Arizona Kenyan Drake abd Kylar murray. Cardinals who in my opinion evolved into a good team defensively mauling Russel Wilson and rattling him . Budda Baker great plays. . He could not run and pass effectively. Same thing with dallas . They should have ran Zeke on 2 and 3 downs . First down the eagles were stacking up most the defense to stop run kn firstdown. No brainer. .
1. Jerry has to back up and just be an owner
2. Hire a real GM
3. Get a tough hard nose coach that has proven he can win in huge mega critical situations and Jerry stay out of the way and let the man coach his team, whomever it is
4. Franchise Dak
5. Draft defensive players that are good against the run/screen game
6. New defensive scheme to play against the new offensive schemes of the NFL, create a defense that takes the ball away
7. Lastly, nothing changes until it changes…Jerry talks a big game that he wants to win but doesn’t do anything different to change those circumstances!
IN THE END, THIS TEAM HAS BEEN AVERAGE SINCE 1995, SAME OL’ SAME OL’
My suggestion for Amari Cooper this Sunday…
Sanjay Lal and Kellen Moore need to come together and game plan specifically to get their most explosive WR involved..It shouldn’t be a coincidence or an accident that Amari has a big game(or half)…
Don’t leave it up to chance..Gameplan Amari’s involvement to help your best reciever get into the game..Gallup and Cobb will be able to eat off of all the attention they give Amari…
They should pick out 4 of Amari’s best routes..3 shorter routes and one deep route..And plan to target Amari at least 4 times each half with his best routes..Both Dak and Amari need to know coming into a play..I’m throwing to Amari..Amrti needs to know he’s getting the ball this play so run the best, crisp cut route you can…
They need to run these plays with Zeke and Pollard on the field..Either Zeke or Pollard gets a play action..This freezes the Safety and the LB and helps Amari get open..Zeke and Pollard on the field create the perfect distraction..taking attention away from Amari…
I think Amari is disillusioned and not sure if he will get any significant targets coming into games..I think that plays on his motivation..He even mentioned not getting targeted when reporters ask him why he had a down game…
Jaylon and D Law got paid Mick
Your highest paid player in franchise history has half a sack in 7 games.
Kellen Moore and Sanjay need to take that grey area out of Amari’s mind and let him know coming into the game..You WILL get at least 3 targets a half..And you’ll know which plays we will try and target you..We will assist you with a little scheming but you will know when you need to run your best route ahead of time…
When Amari has a big game the offense has a big game..Kellen Moore should not leave that to chance..He needs to use Zeke and Pollard on the field as DECOYS to help get Amari open off play action..But he should also scheme other receivers route to help Amari also…
Amari needs less comeback routes..More slants he gets great separation with his clean cuts on slants…
They could put Cobb in motion he sets in the slot next to Amari..Cobb takes off..double move straight up the field GO route..Amari takes off..when Cobb does his double move..Amari breaks inside on a slant..If Cobb can occupy the safety deep..Amari could make a second cut upfield..Cobb might be open deep..Amari might be open deep..But they could use Cobb with Amari or Gallup..Either Cobb breaks open or Amari/Gallup breaks open..But if Dak is already planning to target Amari he should make a better throw…
He should create more variations on what they do with Zeke and Pollard..They should include…
Pollard running with Zeke blocking…
Play fake to Pollard..Screen to Zeke…
Play fake to Zeke screen to Pollard…
Play fake to Zeke or Pollard..Pump fake to Zeke on a screen..Pass downfield to Amari
If they load the box..Stay in run formation..Dak play action/Quick Passes FROM UNDER CENTER…
Hit the quick slants..DON’T SHIFT TO SHOTGUN..Continue to show run..But throw from under center..That will help open up the run for Zeke/Pollard later in the game…
Less memory lane, more commentary
