One of the things Mike McCarthy has consistently talked about since arriving in Dallas is his desire for complementary football. As he describes it, this means having shared philosophies between offense, defense, and special teams that allow all three phases to be equally successful.
Offensively, that means stringing together sustained drives that control the clock but also result in points. The idea is for the offense to take away time from the opponent but also put the opponent at a deficit, thus allowing a fully rested Micah Parsons and company to tee off on the quarterback and create more turnovers, which sets the offense up in great position.
