Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy wanted former OC Kellen Moore to ‘run the damn ball so I can rest my defense’

Mike McCarthy, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, is embracing assuming the play-calling responsibility. McCarthy provided some previews of the 2023 season to the media during his speech on Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine.

As soon as he assumed play-calling responsibilities, he declared, “This is the most fun I’ve had since I’ve been in Dallas.” “Just to spend my entire day in the meeting room once more with the coaches. You talk about nothing but schemes, just going from 8 to 11:30 and taking a break. That hasn’t happened to me. Thus, that section is unique.

After four seasons in Dallas, three of them with McCarthy, the organization parted ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, creating room for a new play-caller. McCarthy’s tenure with the Green Bay Packers afforded him expertise calling plays.

McCarthy thinks quarterback Dak Prescott, who will be starting with a different play-caller for the first time since 2018, will benefit from the move. According to the head coach, Prescott is happy with the shift.
According to McCarthy, “I think we all could use a new voice,” as reported by NFL.com. “Motivation, challenge, and other things are things that we could all use.” His words are a new challenge for him, and he is eager to take on it. I simply believe that he has had an opportunity to transition from the various offensive incarnations that were used. Regarding the variant of what we’re about to do, he’s about to take a different turn. We’re going to build it upon the foundation he has laid.”

Regarding the possible appearance of his new voice, McCarthy described it as a change in values and way of thinking.
