You can find multiple articles with him discussing it. Including times when he points out that you have to "start with" fixing the OL to fix the offense.I'm just curious when Sturm pointed out "over and over" that we couldn't run the ball when he has always been a big Garrett critic and written many articles about us abandoning the running game when it was working
According to Smitty he has only said Garrett did not run because he could not.I'm just curious when Sturm pointed out "over and over" that we couldn't run the ball when he has always been a big Garrett critic and written many articles about us abandoning the running game when it was working
Any time anyone uses the term "hater" in an argument, that tells me a lot.You can find multiple articles with him discussing it. Including times when he points out that you have to "start with" fixing the OL to fix the offense.
You can criticize Garrett without denying that the OL was horrible at run blocking and was the main factor in our inability to run. And if the haters had an ounce of intelligence on this subject, that's what they'd do... Such as when Clay accurately points out that Garrett could have done more to get better linemen all those years as coordinator.
He has said the line could not run block, yes.According to Smitty he has only said Garrett did not run because he could not.
Now you see the back peddling.
He also said Garett has refused to run as well something you refuse to acknowledge, in this article as well as others.He has said the line could not run block, yes.
Did so again here.
He has always said we need to devote resources to the ol but not that we couldn't run it. One of his main sticking points has always been that we stayed in shotgun too much and allowed the opposing defense to pin its ears back as they knew we wouldn't even try to runYou can find multiple articles with him discussing it.

LA LA LA LA LA.He has always said we need to devote resources to the ol but not that we couldn't run it. One of his main sticking points has always been that we stayed in shotgun too much and allowed the opposing defense to pin its ears back as they knew we wouldn't even try to run
LA LA LA LA LA.
He can't hear you.
The implication of why we did not run is there for everyone to read.He also said Garett has refused to run as well something you refuse to acknowledge, in this article as well as others.
So you agree we'd be running it more in line with 2007 or 2008 levels this season even if Linehan wasn't here? Good to know because that is the non-retard position. Which makes sense when you have a line that goes from one of the worst in run blocking to one of the best, that you'd see a dramatic shift in playcalling over time.Nobody is actually debating this point you are clinging to.
Why would we need to invest in the OL if it was blocking fine?He has always said we need to devote resources to the ol but not that we couldn't run it.
Gee. Perhaps a valid criticism that focuses on the possibly legit problem of predictability with the passing game as opposed to the idiotic stance that Garrett "refused" to run the ball instead of acknowledging the obvious truth that we couldn't run the ball. Let's explore this more and then maybe we have something interesting to discuss about Garrett instead of the same old nonsense about him not wanting to run.One of his main sticking points has always been that we stayed in shotgun too much and allowed the opposing defense to pin its ears back as they knew we wouldn't even try to run
Once again my point has always been that Sturm has been highly critical of Garrett yet you ignore that when quoting anything positive he says.The implication of why we did not run is there for everyone to read.
OL didn't start to improve until midway through 2013.
You know, what I've been saying verbatim for months.

32nd in the league. How Jason Garrett is that? We realize that more carries will lower the average - most likely - but, come on. This is crazy.He has said the line could not run block, yes.
Did so again here.
Have yet to see where he says Garrett wouldnt have run with a better OL though.
My guess is you are confusing other potentially valid criticisms for this one.
Please explain the GB game last year.Why would we need to invest in the OL if it was blocking fine?
If he's saying we need to invest in the OL, which he did over and over again, it's because it sucks and can't do its job.

Well DAMMMMMMM.32nd in the league. How Jason Garrett is that? We realize that more carries will lower the average - most likely - but, come on. This is crazy.
You do something well and you still don't care to do it. So, I have heard from several people who look at this and are not convinced of anything. Look at the teams that are running well - those aren't the best teams in the league. And you are right. I am not here to argue that rushing yards per game means that you win a lot. This is merely a discussion about how the Cowboys can win more games by using their common sense and figuring out how to further assist a poor defense by keeping them off the field.
I am here to report that the idea the Cowboys don't run because they can't run is incorrect information if we update results. And it mirrors what we have seen below in our tracking of personnel groups. It is not aided by garbage time or 3rd and 15 draws. The Cowboys are lining up and running the ball with great success since DeMarco has come back.
