Twitter: Dak had football field built at his home

[DandyDon52]

and this thread has been derailed lol.

that has nothing to do with the DRIVE itself... even if it’s 1 billion yards over the season somehow magically, you still got two yards to go on each drive to score. Dallas has 170 drives to KCs 158 and still put up less points than KC in the red zone, meaning they had more chances.

If you want to make a better argument about special teams talk about missed FGs... but half of the NFL had kicker issues. The Patriots had to go and get Folk after their kicker got hurt.

We had the most fgs missed in the league last season. Football is a game of inches if you don't think 340 yards is a lot I don't know what to tell you. Who's to say those yards don't help in the redzone. Yes our redzone conversion was average but we also averaged 3 offensive tds a game which was 5th in the nfl. The offense was never the problem last season and our offense had zero assistance from the other 2 facets of the game. I now see why I have you on ignore.

Haven’t read it all.

Did he build grass or artificial?

 

[Ranching]

Theyve talked in so many circles now they will turn on McCarthy and be screaming for Garrett to come back.

All they did in their circles is ask for a hand towel.

 

[Whyjerry]

Damn....that's quite a bit property (LOL) for a house. I'm guessing a min 5-10 acres......

Texas is BIG.

 

[Whyjerry]

I think this is his house.
Plenty of property to build a practice field

The benefit of the Cowboys new headquarters is that Collin and Denton counties just to the north up the tollway have to very spacious properties. Frisco is booming and Prospect (where Dak lives) is next in line.

You wouldn’t want to blue light that place in a couple years. Yikes.

looks like grass.
the ground was probably already level with a good grass, and he just had the field marked with paint.
I doubt it has goal posts lol.

With a QB like Mahomes, I'm not surprised that KC scored better from the red zone than us, they won the Super Bowl, and they didn't win it by not being able to score from the red zone. Nobody I know of is trying to put Dak in the same class with Patrick Mahomes, (with the possible exception of Dak's agent) so comparing their red zone scoring percentage would seem rather pointless.
In fact I was not at all happy with our scoring percentage from the red zone last year, and now that we have a real HC, I expect to see Mike McCarthy correct that issue this year.

Dak had 2 bad games last year. NE and Philly.

In fairness, who knows what'd have happened if those horrendous tripping calls weren't called? Maybe we win that game and are having a different discussion.

a team has to play good enough to overcome any bad calls in a game and win.
In the last 2 min of the game it is another story though.

But you can make excuses for all the losses, what about the other 7 losses, what are the excuses for those?

And if your saying 1 more win and dallas goes to playoffs, lol they would have been knocked out first game just like phil was.
there wasnt a playoff caliber team in the east last year.

I agree with all of that. I'm just pointing out that we had a few horrendous calls to against us in the Patriots game.

Well in both the tripping calls, our OL did raise his leg , and when refs see that they may call tripping, especially if a DL goes down.
I think the weather was dallas worst enemy that day.
Dallas players prefer playing in a dome lol or if outside, it needs to be a pretty day and not too cold lol.
I bet if you looked at their record last 4 years for games outside in cold or rain, it would be pretty bad.

 

[Rayman70]

its a grass field I do believe. I am proud of Dak. Once again, proving his complete love of his craft and his team. How many players in todays game have that kind of dedication and loyalty to their team? I was a big fan of him while he was in College, carrying a bad team on his back for 5 years. he was a 5th year senior. He made Dan Mullen and Dan helped hone Dak as well. Had we not signed Mike McCarthy, Mullen was my plan B fall back. In fact, at some point when MM decides to leave, I want Dan Mullen as my HC...Dak or not. He's just a great HC. But anyway, Mike McCARTHY def.has Dak motivated and ready. We should be very proud to have them. Even in a covid short year.

Even the announcers were questioning the calls though. Our team should be able to play in all weather if we are planning to go deep into the playoffs.

 

[Ranched]

Just imagine how good Amari's stats would be playing on that home field....

 

[JoeKing]

Building a field is not expensive if you already have the land available. I don't see the big deal here. Reminds me of an episode of Duck Dynasty. Phil used grandkids as labor and visited Home Depot to get all the material needed. But I'll admit those goalposts did look pathetic.

The discussion centers around whether starting field position is that relevant and why Dak isn’t to blame. The reality is, we were pretty much 2 yards less than KC, which was 10. That means the difference between Dallas and 20 other teams amounts to under 2 yards of starting field position. It’s not that statistically relevant and it’s just excuses for Dak’s failures.

Dak also had more drive than KC, 12 and still scored less than KC. Mahomes didn’t even play two games. We also have a much better running game.

We had the most fgs missed in the league last season. Football is a game of inches if you don't think 340 yards is a lot I don't know what to tell you. Who's to say those yards don't help in the redzone. Yes our redzone conversion was average but we also averaged 3 offensive tds a game which was 5th in the nfl.

This is absurdly ridiculous.

1. 340 yards has nothing to do with the success of a drive which is 99 yards or less, if one is talking about starting field position. Dak didn’t have to drive 340 yards to get into the red zone. Just abandon this argument. It’s utterly asinine.

2. Half of offensive touchdowns came against the Giants and Commanders. Dak was simply a stat padder against teams like the Jets, Bears and Bills. To claim the offense wasn’t a problem when we were 17th in the league in red zone scoring and 22nd on the road is utterly delusional. There were multiple quarters where we went without scoring.

3. Even our ‘legendary’ QB recognized the offense was having issues and he started blaming his teammates for not practicing hard, outside of himself, Zeke and Witten. To claim offense wasn’t a problem last year is utterly asinine to and even your boy admitted issues. Just abandon that argument as well.

4. Again excuses. Adam Viniateri was 17/25, meaning his percentages were worse than Maher. Maher has 30 chances to kick FGs. SFs kicker was 23/31. There were ten field goal kickers that has more attempts then Maher. Maher was also asked o kick more from fifty yards out, where four of his 8 attempts out of his ten total misses occurred. He was also the only kicker that kicked over 60 yards, meaning he hit a 63 yarder to save one of Dallas drive. The closest FG after that was 58 yards. There was only one kicker who had more kicks from 50 yards out than Maher at 11 and two others had 8, to tie Maher. The demands of Maher kicking linger field goals was pretty much among the highest in the league.

One thing I'm gonna agree w you on is this MFG factor.

Forget about the yards. The momentum change is huge within a game and its impossible to predict what could have happened afterward with 3 points on the board and kicking off instead of the other team getting great field position.

Look man, there was some really F ed up things that went on around here last year, no matter how its sliced up.

I hope this gets fixed w a new staff and Jerry in the background. The team has a nice roster....one that a real staff can work with...

I dream about actually getting there and actually all getting along around this place. We all want the same thing.

Some players on this team I cant stand, but I want to see them succeed. We all deserve it and are overdue.

This is one of Garrett's flaws, that he had the whole time as HC.
He played FOR FG's and he was always trying the 50+ when it wasnt necessary.
This isnt easy on the kicker if they have too many 50+ kicks.
He seemed to just disregard that when they miss, you give the other team great field position.
That is where if you have a punter who wont kick them into EZ then punting and trying to make other team start inside their 10 could be a better strategy.

I think maher sort of got shafted, and then forbath, he never missed and cowboys just coldly cut him.
