It doesn't really matter where the author puts a preface...the reader is always supposed to read it first.

That's why they call it a preface...because is the first thing "pre" your "face" should see

I was trying not to discriminate against people with dyslexia.

But if you are PRO discrimination, I can still edit it. Just let me know.
Has nothing to do with discrimination. How in the hell do you get that.

You made a post then told people not to read it at the end. plain and simple. You wanted people to read it. They had to read it.

He needs to learn to throw a more catchable ball.

When all or ur receivers are having balls bounce off their hands....maybe it's YOU...not them.

Just a theory.

I don't want to stir up any negativity through...so as a preface, please don't even read this post.

Former Broncos receivers said Elway threw passes that left bruises on their hands and even fractured someone's finger before.

NFL quarterbacks are strong and throw with power in most cases. The receivers have to learn how to catch NFL quarterback passes.

Defensive backs are fast and smart. The quarterback HAS to get the ball to the receiver as fast as possible unless he's wide open.

The moment Dak throw a slower pass and it gets picked, people will be crying and *****ing saying " Dak should have gotten the ball in there quicker"

The man just can't win. He's damned if he do, he's damned if he don't smh....

Pretty much how all Dak's interceptions are.

not sure how you fix a WR that the ball bounces off his hands. better body catch it i guess. i do like the WCO crossing route pattern, just too bad 6th string WR could not catch the ball.

Ahh you know what seeing it slowed down at 25% you're right @CowboysLakerBamaFan it was a terrible pass and Dak should've made it more catchable by catching the pass himself. Dak should've thrown that football with less zip and catched it himself. :facepalm:
Yeah.. could have said time out guys. Threw it up in the air and ran under it and caught it. Time in guys.

The low IQ cowards on this board hate that you slowed this video down. It angers them to have their agenda crushed.

One of them accused the receiver of being in mid-season form, but is too dumb to realize the receiver barely played.
Mountain made that post without watching the video ...... he saw Dak and interception in thread title and just posted.

Horrible job by WR....but you want to see the ball at a spot where the WR's arms have to be fully extended, thus naturally making him accelerate....whereas his arms have to be at 90 degree bend to get his hands on the ball and dig it out of his body. Any QB Coach would tell you the same thing.

Again, SHOULD have been caught though.
That ball couldn't have been placed any more perfect! Spot on bullseye throw.

Wide Receiver 101 Part III

Catching


Accept the ball: Receivers should extend their arms out and accept the ball as it comes to them. However, some recceivers “fight” the ball or throw their hands at it causing a collision with the ball. This doesn’t mean that receivers should wait for a ball and not run back to it since we know that is important. However, they have to make sure they are accepting the ball into their hands.

Clearly, Fehoko is starting to extend his arms out in order to accept the ball into his hands. The problem is he was late getting his arms up and out. Plus, his hands were not in a triangle webbed position to accept the ball into his mitts like a baseball catcher accepts a baseball into the webbing of his glove. If you look at Fehoko's hands (below), you will see his hands were slightly apart from each other. No diamond was formed as expected to form his hands together into the proper and best way to catch a football. Plus, his left hand was slightly open, away and below from where his right hand was, thus creating a big enough open gap between his hands which ultimately allowed the football to pass right between his hands, hit him square on his face mask and bounce straight up into the air for the interception.

Sure, there was a slight wobble early in the throw at the top of its arch when the ball came out of Dak's hand, but the throw auto-corrected itself into a spiral as it continued towards and reached Fehoko. That pass was spot on right on target, in stride and should have been an easy catch. That interception was clearly on Simi Fehoko, not Dak.

This is why I asked him. I was not expecting he would do it. And he zoomed in. Awesome.

Maybe the corner could have made a better play. But it looked like he almost faked catching the ball and purposely tipped it up for him. Like a trick play. Lol.

Honestly, to me, the tape shows a wide open WR, a perfectly thrown ball, and a WR who let it bounce in his hands to the WR. There needs to be a stat added where an Int is credited to the WR if it's clearly on the WR.

In the NFL that was as catchable as it gets. Was right at the face mask and chest. He extended his arms and the ball bounced out. Maybe over reps Dak could throw it slower and earlier to make it easier. But that’s timing and reps. Which is why Dak had a field at his house and invites all to come and practice.
