FMIA Week 15: Mike McCarthy Gets Creative To Prepare For His Next Shot
When McCarthy showed me some plays to illustrate what he’d import into his offense, the one I liked most came from the third play of the Cowboys 2019 season. “RPO Dover” is what McCarthy called this. On second-and-eight from the Dallas 40, the Cowboys lined up in a power-run formation and design—seven across the offensive line,
Ezekiel Elliott motioning from the left flank into a sidecar to
Dak Prescott, with two seeming distractions only,
Amari Cooper and
Michael Gallup, split wide left. The Giants had a cornerback eight yards off Gallup, outside the numbers, and a safety 10 yards off Cooper, who was inside of Gallup. At the snap, Prescott play-actioned to Elliott, flowing to his right. Nine Giants flowed to that side. Prescott pulled the ball out of Elliott’s gut. Both receivers ran quick in-routes, unchallenged by defenders, and Prescott flipped to Cooper, inside, for one of the easiest nine-yard gains of his life. First down.
McCarthy was visibly excited by the play. “The beauty of it,” he said excitedly, “is you can still run. It’s a clean run. But the free yards on the pass . . . that is such a smart design.”
If McCarthy gets a job, expect to see that play, and lots of different motion concepts, in 2020.

I think Moore will be back and hopefully it truly is McCarthy's decision. I think the canary in the coal mine will be what happens with Witten, if he gets a straight up TE coach job then Jerry is definitely dictating, but if he comes on as like a QC coach or not at all then I think there's a decent argument that McCarthy is in control of the staff.
