Perhaps the biggest criticism surrounding offensive coordinator Scott Linehan and the Dallas Cowboys offense is the creativity — or lack thereof — in play-calling and in the variety of formations. We have heard pundits criticize the staleness, and even Dez Bryant commented that the personnel was lined up in the same spot for 16 weeks last season.
As Dallas looks to rebound from a relatively disappointing 9-7 campaign and get back to the team it was when it put up a 13-3 regular season record and secured a berth in the NFL Playoffs, a change in scheme and personnel was needed.
