Red Jesus and The Hamstring Years

Red Jesus-His 7th full season in Dallas and his 3rd winning record. He has only 1 losing record during his reign, but also 3 seasons of 8-8...  Forever known to me as Mr 500.
    • He should be an Accountant or a Journalist. 
      • His degree at Princeton proves he is intelligent and can recite things.  His career as coach shows he lacks the imagination or creative gifts.  
    • The Hamstring Years are such a crazy thing.  If we include groins and backs then I think someone should really consider that Dallas hires trainers that do not understand tissue elasticity and preparation.  
    • It seems he is a firm believer in non-imaginative communications.
    • How many times during this reign have we heard other defensive secondary comment "We knew what they would do"
      • Is it Poor Preparation or a lack of adjustments? How many years do we see this team chose the option of safety when someone is hurt.  And of course the outcome is a losing streak.

    • Garrett 3rd quarter scoring is a thing of legends. .
      • The debate Execution over Scheme.  Red is a preacher of Execution.  
        • Dallas finished 14th in the league in scoring.   
          • Cowboys ranked 29th in the league in 3rd qtr scoring 
            • Last in 3rd qtr scoring at home. 1.2 ppg. (Giants were next at 2.0)
            • 1st qtr scoring is ranked 16th, 3.8ppg
            • 2nd qtr scoring 8th  8 ppg 
            • 4th qtr  ranked 8th...7.5 ppg. 
      • Did I mention that on Defense they ranked even worse at 31st in 3rd qtr.
      • The defense is 14th overall in scoring.    
    • This makes me think that it is not the coordinators and maybe not the schemes.  Could it be a process they use at half that shifts focus?
