"Let's be clear, the Cowboys record as of today has very little to do with the lack of Cowboys offense, but one glaring issue has continued to crop up over the last four games. In those games, the Cowboys offense has put up a combined total of 118 points (29.5 PPG). But one area of concern is how often this Cowboys offense is starting off very slow during their scripted play sequence."
"For those not familiar, the first 15 plays or so are scripted leading up to the game in practices. Think of it as more of a rehearsal. Those first two to three drives should be the best offensive plays for the team each game, yet the Cowboys have only scored one touchdown in the first three drives of their last four games."
"Against the Raiders, the Cowboys started the game with a Javonte Williams run behind Tyler Smith for a gain of two. Against the Eagles the Cowboys started off the game with a Javonte Williams run behind Tyler Smith for a gain of two. Against the Kansas City Chiefs the Cowboys started off the game with a Javonte Williams run behind Tyler Smith for a gain of four."
Brian Schottenheimer's first season as head coach sits at 6-6-1, with postseason chances slim. The Cowboys offense has produced 118 points (29.5 PPG) over the last four games, but the unit frequently starts slowly during its scripted opening plays. The first 15 plays are rehearsed in practice and the first two to three drives should be most productive, yet the team scored only one touchdown in the first three drives across the last four games. The first offensive play repeatedly featured Javonte Williams runs for short gains. Ongoing offensive line pass protection issues and penalties create frequent second-and-long situations.
