GARRETT, PRESS BOX, PLEASE

I renew my call for Jason Garrett to get into the press box to call the plays. In my 1st post I sighted sideline distractions. Now, after 2 poorly called games, I believe it may be more important to see the field. I don't think he can see defensive spacing well enough from the limited view on the sideline.
It also looks like the run only first part of the game was a tantrum to try to prove the running game doesn't work. He needs to learn to mix it up better from a variety of formations.
It's also clear that taking up all of the play clock on every play is destroying offensive rhythm. The defense also has time to read and adjust when all that time is wasted. In both of the last 2 games, the touchdown drives were when the team was acting quickly, but not necessarily in hurry up. Just call plays, get to the line and take up a second to read the defense and run the play. Defenses make pre-snap adjustments too.
