he likely would’ve read the blitz better and at least attempted to run out of the pocket or throw the ball away. Don’t forget that Dak played behind essentially the same line in the Seattle and 1st half of the Giants game minus Martin, of course. He didn’t fare this badly. Martin is a GREAT guard, but I doubt he’s what made this O-line go from meddling, held by tape, to dollar tree assembled car levels of bad.
In addition to that, He would’ve thrown in “garbage points”, which Dalton sadly didn’t do tonight
some things people dont consider, is that the arizona defense was playing good, their whole defense played good.
When dak faced a good defense in LA dallas only scored 17 points.
So lets give the other team credit for playing good defense and having a good game plan.
whenever I could see dallas receivers were well covered, and dalton had guys coming free on him and pressure all night.
This was daltons first game after a week of practice, and with goofy kellen calling some bad plays at wrong times.
I also think the whole team went flat after the 2 elliot fumbles.
Did dalton play good, at times yes, and at other times no,but it was his first game, and he got no help from team mates, like gallup letting td pass go thru
his hands. and there were some other drops.
The other thing I noticed, was the arizona drives were some long drives, and cowboys had 1 really long drive for the only td, and all that just made the game
shorter , less possesions.
Would dak have won this game?? maybe , maybe not , you cant go by past weeks, as they were not playing cards in past weeks lol.
I think cowboys would have done better with dak for sure , and they should.
like I said before the game dalton needs 2 games to get back into a playing groove, so the phil game is where I will judge him.
I think dak can at times overcome kellens awful game plans and play calling, but I dont think dalton is going to be able to do that .
I think right now our biggest issue isnt with players, but a few of our coaches, MM, kellen, and Nolan, are all doing a awful job and have all season.
Like the 58 yd fg attempt, that was really dumb, they should have punted and tried to pin them inside the 20. Instead arizona got great field position again.
