I dont think he is either, but I guess compared to what we've been doing week to week under Callahan he might be seen that way.
Seemed like they used alot more play action and actually a couple of screens for a change.
Unless it really was the combination of Wilson and Callahan seeing things on the field that created plays and remediated the flaws they were both seeing. Parcells used Payton and Carthon to keep two productive if not slightly rival perspectives. Maybe this is a turning of the corner.
There is no way that was Garrett. He is too one dimensional and rigid about his one dimension to suddenly revert to fixing his scheme. He says nothing is wrong - and he would be admitting that he was wasting the talent in Dallas by saying it was the scheme and not the execution and motivation of the players. If you listen to his descriptions of his offense, he says that the receivers need to get open ("they were getting open"), which is a different mindset from a Sean Payton or a Mike Martz who each finds ways of getting his receivers open and isolated.
I couldn't sleep at 3:00 this morning so I watched the NFL Network replay of Dallas/Green Bay from 1994. Jason Garrett was QB b/c Aikman was injured. John Madden made a comment that Jason needs to get some yards on first down "because he is not very good on 2nd and long. And then when he gets to 3rd and 10 he is just playing not to lose the game." As he was at QB, so as he became as OC.
But watching how Favre and Green Bay used very quick running plays and set up play action - and SHOCK, the WRs were open, made me realize that this was the offense that Romo watched and idolized growing up. That what Favre was doing was the model for Romo. For me, then it's perfect that Holmgren come in and retool Romo into complete QB and not this linear wimp that Garrett has turned him into. I have changed my stance on Holmgren, for anyone keeping track at home (TE). Seems like the Moses now who can get Dallas to the promised land.
