He has no idea where Dez will be due to horrible route running.

NFL QBs throw before the WR's break. If the WR does not do what the QB expects, then the QB looks inaccurate.

If Dez cuts at 45 degree angle when Dak expects 60 degree angle, then it Makes Dak look innaccurate.

Dak looks accurate to Witten and Beasley...

Lol, smh.

The vast majority of Beasley and Witten's routes and targets are short underneath routes.

I don't see why this is news to anyone. It should be clearly obvious to anyone who doesn't have a foam finger brain.

Bryant is a limited "#1 WR". Aside from the back shoulder fade and jump passes, he is woefully average. He is not the smartest player and as much as people like to pretend he is anything like Irvin, he is not.

But you can't say that or you get branded as a "hater" or whatever.
Dez fans are the most sensitive.

Dez can't consistently get open. He is a QB-UNfriendly #1 WR. He runs out of bounds on many sideline routes and is the worst route runner of any #1 WR that I've seen. It is obvious when he does not expect to get the ball because he barely even runs on those plays. His run blocking is comical.

Absolutely, and we're talking about a guy in his 8th season. Kind of makes me wonder how many lifetimes Dez would need to become a proficient route runner. The fact that he has only marginally improved in this area since the day he was drafted is a hell of statement about the coaching and management in Dallas.

More or less, everyone is basically on board with the idea of, "Dez is such a great athlete he'll get the job done based on pure athleticism". High school mentality at the pro level.

This is just a simply agenda-driven falsehood.

He knew where Dez was running the Green Bay playoff game, the Lions game, Tampa game, and Steelers game just fine. What is this a new offense they are running that we arent aware about? :huh:

This post makes no sense.

If people would spend time studying games they would understand but instead just watching in realtime with the distractions of a group atmosphere and alcohol.

He just can't or won't do it. The coaches can only do so much with a player many teams would not draft.

Well I have faith that Zeke will turn it around, as he just did it last week. Dez is a lost cause! 17 million for a fade runner!! Lol
Time to cut their losses after the season on Dez.

I see what your saying but the radius of blame goes well beyond those two.

By design, Dak and the defense need help.

They drafted Zeke top 5 when RB was not a huge need.

They pay Dez huge money.

If those had great games, everyone else would be able to function as expected.

I've just got a feeling Cooper Rush is gonna be the answer down the line. I've had him as my avatar since we signed him.

When you see Dez running go routes it speaks to the staff not knowing their personnel. Dez is not a deep threat and he never has been, he's a yac WR who's tough to bring down on the move. Dez would be a monster on any team with a competent staff.

Would it not be feasible to consider that they had the treacherous and mercenary casing-liner of a free agent provocateur to pump info from and surrender the innermost nuances and subtleties of our vaunted offensive line ?o_O
