Why isn't anyone pointing out the drop Cooper had on 3rd and 5.



He had the first. Caught the ball and was tackled. Coughed it up to the point they initially called it a fumble.

(You can say he got a BIG HIT but it wasn't) You have to hold on to that ball.

That play changed the game, IMO, as much as any play.

You can say he should have held onto it; he should have. But Ramsey was lunging right into his chest like 2 milliseconds after Coop caught it. He had no time to secure the ball into his body.

That is on Dak. He got fooled by the zone defense and didnt realize Ramsey wasn't in man and let his guy go down the sideline.

That was a classic Medicine ball and he is lucky cooper did not get injured.

the ball should have gone down the sideline.

its a tough catch but one a highly paid receiver should make. I mean that is the general consensus at QB for this team according to the fans. I mean Michael irvin would have caught it

He was well passed the marker for a first down

he knew he had tight coverage

no reason to turn up field

catch the ball and protect yourself

not a smart play on Cooper's part

Amari has to recognize it too. They rolled the safety over the top of the WR Ramsey peeled off of.

That was a great play by Ramsey. Stop being nick picky. The problem with that play was Gallup was to close to Cooper. Ramsey man on that play was Gallup. If you blame anyone it’s the play caller.

This has nothing to do with smarts, the tight coverage was from the guy that was trailing him and he had him beat. The issue was that the rams disguised their coverage so well neither Dak or Amari knew that Ramsey was playing zone and crossing routes are a no no against zones.

Because it wasn't a catch. Now, if you wanted to ask, "Why isn't anybody talking about the incomplete pass with Coop?", that would be different....

yes he has strong hands and 20mil yet dropped pone , one more sad thing contributing to a 3point loss..all in all any one of these mistakes including the not kicking the Fg would have put a W in the books vs a 3 point loss..

we have 15 more..

What about his one handed grab that Dak threw over his head when he was wide open? Or the throw that Dak put at his legs after panicking when he saw his first read, Zeke covered, but not blanketed in the red zone..

Bit of sneaky of Ramsey to peel off Gallop and attack Coop , because he could see the QB and know where the ball is going, Part if mistake is Gallop should have pushed hard to sell his route and galloping along the side line on a go route , that way Ramsey would have to keep up with him.
