Coryells offense began in the college ranks when he was the head coach at San Diego State, where he coached from 1961 to 1972.

Donovan Peoples-Jones could be the primary deep-threat and may be a priority waiver add if this offense opens up or one of the top-2 WRs misses time. Zeke looks quicker and Tony Pollard getting reps as a receiver. Damiere Byrd was brought in from NE and has been working in the slot, although Nagy will run all his receivers out of the slot at times. The passing game will be modeled towards what Goff ran in LA with lots of 11 and 12 personnel, PA, and short to intermediate throws. Keke Coutee was on the roster last year and will compete with those guys for the 2-4 WR role. Instead, it is concept-based. It seems like Tony Pollard will be with the Cowboys at least through 2023.
