Good article. Some of this is just common sense, any decent DC will make scheme adjustments in the offseason when he knows who he'll be facing next season. But I think the biggest factor in the offensive struggles has been pass pro, or rather scheming up/play calling to help it. Drops and fumbles haven't helped, but too many 3rd and long situations have relied on JD hanging in the pocket too long, dumping off or trying to force balls.
I haven't seen every play from Sunday, but from what I saw the Cowboys were targeting getting us into those downs, then sending more than could be blocked and nowhere for him to scramble. Where were the crossing routes that may not pick up 1st down but had a chance? Designed rollouts to give him options to run?
Feels like play calling has gotten a bit conservative, presumably to protect him. Is it me or do we need to get back to plays that allowed him to ad lib and use his athleticism to open up opportunities?

i'd still like OROY . . . actually placed a bet on before the season started, so would really like it!!I think he has a good chance to get it still. A lot of it will depend on his play down the stretch. If he regains his earlier season form and gets us into the playoffs think he's got a good shot. I'd love to see him win it.

For the record RG3 won ROY and Chase won RDY ; we all know how they panned out, maybe its best JD5 skips that award

micah Parsons has the best take on jD .. IF our COACHES will let him play and trust him He can be great!! That Dallas game was on the coach , lots of bad decisions starting with not putting kicker on IR before the game and not having Chris on the damn roster to be ready for a gimpy BRob ..plus not going after another WR at trade deadline , we went after Lattimore and he ain't played a down .. the coaches got to get it going .

for the record
there is a weird thing where if they have brought Chris up so many times they have to sign him and cut someone i am not sure the details, Keim explained it but it wasn't black and white just pull him up
Latttimore was a front office decision and one that surpasses this season but i agree its been frustrating not seeing him
not sure who they could have got at WR that made an impact without giving up the house, at the time our WRs were doing just fine the past three weeks they have become the drop brothers

I agree with this take. The Lattiomore trade was exactly the move this team needed the most. Nobody can control when a soft tissue heals but he could make a big difference. That was the bold move, any other bold moves for an impact WR would have costs more draft capital and this organization is planning on building through the draft which is always the right way to go.
But I do agree that last game was on the coaches. I was so frustrated at the conservative gameplan which did nothing to capitalize on the field position the offense had for most of the first half. They throw it down the field and go up 17-0 and the Boys would have packed it in.

i guess i need to also remember how all the Top draft picks under Ron were huge Fails that set this team back in so many ways ...can you imagine under Peters what our roster would look like ..
Yes! Get the kid throwing to WRs again.
Liked the game plan.
