Lost their starting left tackle and starting running back, and the offense has gone AWOL. I wonder what would happen if the same thing happened to the Horns (LT- C. Williams, RB- D. Foreman)?

What if they also lost their starting Right Tackle (Hodges)? And their 2nd string RT (Rodriguez)? Or if they also lost their starting TE (Beck), and their 2nd string TE (Gray) and were forced to start a true freshman (Brewer)?

And if they also lost their 2nd string left tackle (Okafor), and had multiple games without a starting Center and Guard (Shak, and Jake) and were playing their 3rd string center (Cunney) and 3rd string true freshman right tackle (Kerstetter)?

Well, I think they would still be fine, just need a competent OC to call only 1st down plays and TD plays.

Chaz Green, who was replacing Tyron Smith at LT, got his ass beat all day today by Adrian Clayborn. I've never seen someone get beat that bad all day in all of my years of watching football. What is inexplicable is how the Dallas OL coach didn't make any changes or adjustments at halftime. Having Sean Lee and Zeke out, combined with Tyron Smith out, doomed the Cowboys today.
 
Weird how that works isn't it. Garret must be a terrible coach.
 
I seriously don't get why they didn't change him after 3 sacks and how much pressure was coming from that side. They waited to long to change him and that other guy was just on a tear and never threw him off his game and the coaches never gave Dak extra help on that side.
 
As OC at Nebraska for 4 consecutive years, Beck & Nebraska earned a 9-4 record all 4 years.

Additionally, the Ohio State offense was worse in 2015 & 2016 after Tim Beck took over as OC.

Prior Tim Beck offenses have accumulated more rushing yards per game, than passing yards. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.nc...ball-buckeyes-hope-offensive-changes-can-fuel

That's not much of an argument for anything. Anyway, I don't pretend to know if Tim Beck is the answer/problem. I do know he has been hand picked to run the offense at three consecutive blue blood programs. I just think it's ridiculous to expect an offense in the condition that Texas' is (OL decimated, young QB's in and out, least talented and least depth UT offense this side of 2000) to be working miracles. And blaming it on the OC is the emotional knee jerk brainless first reaction.

It is understood that our line will not be as good with all our injuries. You make valid points & so does Tim Beck’s record at Nebraska & Ohio State. The bottom line is this is a disappointing season now. After hiring a new HC, our offense got worse from last year. That is frustrating.
 
Cowboys looked like crap yesterday but my Texans look like a big pile of shit.

Cowboys will be fine.
 
So good coaches should win no matter who the players are, and everyone else sucks? I think people give coaches too much credit.

Have you only followed the Cowboys for 1 season? Because he's been the HC for some time now and the list of his coaching inadequacies is quite long. I don't know if you are trying to draw a parallel to the UT program, and how injuries affected this team, but it doesn't work with Garret because he is a bad coach. If this were the Patriots or some other known commodity then it would make a better analogy.

It is possible to be a bad coach and have a bad players.

I'm simply saying that when you have bad players you lose games and when you have good players you win games. Coaches shouldn't get all the credit, good or bad. The great teams have always had great players regardless of who was the coach.

He looked like some Texas offensive linemen I have seen this year but the only thing,Green was getting a. paycheck.
 
Yeah had to be one guy

When your post concludes with, “Well, I think they would still be fine, just need a competent OC to call only 1st down plays and TD plays,” it’s difficult to be more obvious about inviting this comparison without actually saying someone’s name.
