Cooper's Drop on 3rd and five

[TheMarathonContinues]

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..

What about them?

It's not a drop I'm upset about. It was a well timed hit.

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.

LOL.

Everyone saying it was a zone, you are incorrect. It is simply Ramsey reading the play and peeling off to make the hit. If it was zone, that man on Cooper would be in a deep zone and not trying to cover him. Ramsey didn't peel off until the ball was in the air.

I know you love blaming everything on Dak though.

I wish you would use this same lense with every other qb in the NFL.

You haters act like Dak is the only qb in the NFL that he a few mistargets in a game. Unreal.

that was a better defensive play than a drop..ramsey made a helluva play doubling back to make that hit. i'll let cooper ride on that one. i dont think Dak even throws that pass if he knew ramsey was gonna come back to the play.

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.

Its never just one play. We need to talk about the failure to get first downs.
What really pains me is our offense never seems to have a flow, Dak is really good at the long and intermediate routes. I mean he is really great at intermediate routes to Cooper and Gallup. We need to work on screens, short passes and giving guys a chance to make some RAC.
Let Dak run, or even better ask and demand he take off running. That little change in the offense will really put pressure on the defense...

A hospital pass being labeled a drop, got it

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

That was just a good play by Ramsey. Coop never had a chance to even secure the ball.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Ramsey was to busy strutting like a peacock to even notice the ball was on the ground . Dude is an overrated dbag.

 

[blueblood70]

it was for sure a drop and not bad throw like some sarcastic dillwads are claiming..hospital pass lol no it wasn't he had time to catch and turn ball should have been secured before the textbook hit and strip,,

dak threw a few bad passes for sure on the last two drives but this wasnt one of them.. this is the nfl that nfl space and should have caught it secured it and a first down..20mil drop

How on earth can that be deemed a drop! Cooper didn't have time to set himself and secure the catch and then got blasted from the blindside. Great play by Ramsey.

 

[Doomsday101]

I expect guys to hang on to the ball but understand that is easier said than done when you get popped as he did as soon as he made the grab.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

One of JR best play of the game, when MG was not abusing him.

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

I would guess 95% of the receivers in the NFL (possibly more) drop that. He had no idea contact was coming from his front side. Gotta be reasonable in what we expect. We were lucky that he didn't hold onto it long enough to be considered a catch.

Because defenders are payed to make big plays like that!

That was a bang bang play and Ramsey make a great hit there I don't fault Cooper on that one, however, if he would of hung on it would have been a great catch!

Five years of mediocrity with a talented roster and one of the best OL in football, while we wasted a SB window to make this offense “Dak-friendly”.. Sorry, this isn’t a garbage franchise with a trash roster that Dak stepped into..

 

[speedkilz88]

Gallup was really slow getting off the line of scrimmage and into his route and by the time he was down the sideline, Ramsey saw Cooper coming back to the sticks and jumped it.

the ball should have gone down the sideline.

Ramsey was in Man coverage and Not Zone

If it was Zone why didn't DB #22 peel off to Gallup?

Dak Haters have to assume Ramsey was in Zone to call it a "Medicine Ball"

Pathetic!!

 

[Qcard]

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

Exactly...Michael.Irvin always talked about field and time awareness..

Cooper lacked both...
