Mike McCarthy wanted former OC Kellen Moore to ‘run the damn ball’ to rest defense | NFL | SPEAK



Mike McCarthy spoke to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine to provide insight on the Dallas Cowboys 2023 season. The team parted ways with Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore, who took the same job for the Los Angeles Chargers. While he did praise his former OC, he also shared that the two did not always have the same vision, saying quote: ‘Kellen wants to light the scoreboard up, but I want to run the damn ball so I can rest my defense.’ Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, LeSean McCoy and David Helman weigh in on whether they had an issue with McCarthy’s comments or not.

  1. To win in the NFC you have to run the ball. Good luck trying to stop the Niners and Eagles when your defense is gassed and on the field all game.

  2. These takes don’t make any sense. When Kellen took over play calling, it became obvious he wanted to light up the scoreboard. They’re using just this season when this has been the issue for sometime. Using the chiefs, bucs and rams to make a point is horrible because you’re talking about 2 of the top 5 QBs in nfl history. Rams had coaching, elite wrs and defense.

  3. They didn’t even broach the subtext. DAK PRESCOTT!!! Cowboys were 6th in rushing and McCarthy wants to run the ball more?! And why do we think the Cowboys run the ball so much🤔How bout because they have a trash QB🚨🚨🚨If you have to throw more in order to win a SB…oof…yeah let’s put the ball in Dak’s hands more🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Stupid Cowboys

  4. MM is right because when they needed to run the ball, they passed!! What they need to do, is get the time right of when to run the ball!! Then fix the o-line issues at left guard so they can run efficiently!!!

  5. The hate be real for the cowboys anybody who actually watch our games would understand where McCarthy is coming from Kellen abandoned the run in too many games especially with leads…look at the jags game he run the ball we run the clock out and didn't have to even go to OT but he passed 3 straight downs gave more time to the other team. He also did the same thing in the green Bay game like Mike is right. But as a cowboy fan I understand all the hate "its the star ⭐"

  6. Mike only had control over going for it on 4th down, weather or not to kick a PAT.

  7. If you wanted to run the ball more, he should have said something to Kellan Moore. He was the head coach. Stop making excuses.

  8. So in one breath he says he has all the confidence in the world that Dak is their guy but then says they have to run the ball more even though they were in the top 10 in rushing attempts. If he truly has confidence in Dak he would be happy with the type of balanced attack they had.

  9. What's cop out about Moore. You're the HC!!! Go in thier and BE a head coach. What a joke

  10. Reading the comments shows how little many "fans" truly understand and know what they are watching.
    "We are up 10. Just run the ball" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
    2nd n 10 at times is a good time to run the ball n to throw. It's all situational and the flow of the game. It's not Madden!!!
    McCarthy is not a leader and this is why Dallas will not win. HC blames the OC after he leaves. Be a leader and takeover then.

  11. The media: The Cowboys should run the ball, and run the offense through Zeke and Pollard
    The media after the season: Running the ball doesn't win Championships. Mike McCarthy is sus

  12. This is hilarious cuz McCarthy is forgetting he’s the head coach. If he wanted his OC to run the ball more it’s literally his job to make him do that 🤣

  13. Once Terrance Steele went out this team couldn’t run the ball efficiently. And consistently asked Dak to throw the ball on third and long.

  14. They’re all missing the point. Dave kinda touched on it slightly. It’s the situational plays that Kellen struggled with in big/gotta have it games. He tended to shrink the playbook in those games n call the same 4 plays no matter what. Obviously it was more nuanced than that but for sake of argument that’s essentially what happened the last few years. Also just bc Mike is saying this, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t have as many runs as they did bc of Mike changing things during install n during games. That can be very much true as well. Kellen could have been pass happy with install n Mike slowed him down which could be what Mike is referring to.

  15. Why Do U Think They Call Him Statscott. Moore Wanted to Get Dak Paid & Now Kellen Trying 2 Get Paid

  16. Kellen Moore lost his job when he decided on an important series to run 3 straight sit routes at the sticks. Then putting Zeke at center on the final play of the game. Embarrassing

  17. Calling out Kellen Moore when you're the head coach is weak. Why didn't you tell him to call more runs, or call more situational runs when he was your subordinate? Moore leaves and now you wanna be ground and pound?

    You call out Kellen Moore because you can't call out Dak for the picks and missed throws. The end.

  18. Yall got goofies on TV. He mean run the ball during "certain situations". Like being up 14 to Green Bay & Jacksonville. Ya can't throw a pick if ya handing the ball off…GENIUSES.
