The Story in 60 Seconds

The Landry Hat writer Jerry Trotta argues that Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer should hand over play-calling responsibilities to offensive coordinator Klayton Adams. The critique follows a loss to the Green Bay Packers, where quarterback Dak Prescott dropped back to pass 54 times despite facing a struggling run defense.

Trotta notes that Cowboys running backs Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson combined for only 13 carries during the game. Following Williams' third-quarter touchdown, Schottenheimer called 37 pass plays and just one run, which Trotta contends created an entirely one-dimensional offense.
