The Dallas Cowboys have undergone significant changes during the 2023 NFL offseason, starting with adjustments to the coaching staff. This includes the firing of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and head coach Mike McCarthy taking over play-calling duties.
New Offensive Philosophy
With the change in playcallers comes a new offensive philosophy for the team. Coach McCarthy has already expressed his intention to run the football more than Moore did when he was in charge of play-calling.
Ezekiel Elliott’s Departure
However, the Cowboys will have to adjust their run game, as they recently released their workhorse running back Ezekiel Elliott. His departure leaves Tony Pollard as the likely candidate to receive more touches in the upcoming season.
Mike McCarthy’s Adaptation
As the team moves forward with these changes, McCarthy will need to readjust to life as a play-caller. With a new offensive focus and a change in personnel, the coach will be tasked with leading the Cowboys to succeed on the field.
