PUT THIS ONE ON JASON GARETT TOO

My continued rant about the lack of flow and rhythm in the Cowboy's offensive will go on, apparently until Jason Garrett is relieved of his duties. This requirement of using the entire play clock every snap is costing the team several plays each game. What this means is with fewer plays the defense knows that if Felix Jones is in the game to key on him. Likewise, the defense always has plenty of time to see and adjust to the formation. It's as if Jason Garrett thought,'I have a 10 point lead halfway through the second quarter let's run out the clock!'
This slow play is what is taking away the big plays. It's putting too much pressure on the defense to be perfect. It is putting too much pressure on the whole team. Every single play means too much.
I'm not saying go no huddle, although a little wouldn't hurt, I'm just saying get people on the field, call a play, get to the line and run it. Like the Saints do!
