Cowboys' New Game Plan: Schottenheimer Takes Charge

The Dallas Cowboys have a new play-caller for their offense this season. Brian Schottenheimer, who has an impressive NFL background, will now be the one designing the plays for the team. This decision came directly from Jerry Jones, the team's owner, who expressed that Schottenheimer's strong relationship with the players was a key factor. The Cowboys believe that Schottenheimer's involvement in play-calling is crucial for the team's success. Previously, Mike McCarthy was handling the offensive plays for the Cowboys, but they decided to make a change. Schottenheimer was initially brought in as the offensive coordinator, but McCarthy took over the play-calling. It's clear that the Cowboys value Schottenheimer's skills, as they insisted they wouldn't have kept him if he wasn't in charge of play-calling. Schottenheimer is comfortable with the responsibilities and is eager to use his players' strengths to build a solid offense. One of Schottenheimer's strategies is to incorporate tempo into the game. He believes that a faster pace allows players to perform more spontaneously, which can be compared to a game of pickup basketball. Schottenheimer's experience as a play-caller includes stints with the Jets, Rams, Seahawks, and even at the University of Georgia. His diverse background should help him bring a fresh perspective to the Cowboys' offense.
