Broaddus's take on issues with Dez

[WillieBeamen]

I'm looking at a QB getting pressure from his right side and not able to follow thru on the pass, which cause it to sail high??? What am I missing??

This is the NFL. You arent going to get 3-4 seconds of a clean pocket every snap. Thats a throw he has to make.

 

[khiladi]

Feels a guy??? Dude it's called pressure, which cause the pass to sail high, he had no follow thru, take off your Dak hater glasses.

Yes, it’s called hesitating on the ‘threat of pressure’ without any reason to.. this is the NFL where pressure like this exists on almost every given play,, he has at least a yard and a half when he released the throw before the defender even makes his lungs..

Dez is his first read.. it’s called poor technique, with Dak throwing off his feet and not setting properly.. a trait consistently called out in his scouting report..

 

[HungryLion]

Isn't that the play that Bruce Irvin reached out and hit Dak's arm as he was throwing?

Yes it was. Dak has to short arm the pass because He was getting hit from his right side just as he was releasing the ball.

 

[CowboyRoy]

The team is 8-6, having missed Zeke for 6 games and Lee for what like 5-6 games?

The team would be 10-4 right now if Zeke wasn’t suspended for BS and Lee wasn’t hurt for stretches of games.

If that was the case would this argument even be taking place right now?

Honestly.

I would say this team would be 9-5, but I guess I agree.

This argument is all about the Romo apologists having some ammo to finally come out and cut up Dak. Dak deserves some criticism no doubt.

 

[WillieBeamen]

If you think Dez is a good route runner, then you just dont understand WR play.

Dez is running his routes the same way he did when he was putting up 1300 yd seasons with Romo.

But since you want to play this game, fine i’ll oblige.
Why isnt Beasley producing? He’s a great route runner. Why isnt T-Will producing? Hes a great route runner as well.

lol, with fans like some of you guys, who needs enemies?

Actually its NOT, it's called getting pressure from his RT and not being able to properly follow thru on his pass. That's it. The video doesn't lie

So lets just get the record straight here. You hate Dak as our QB? You think he is a bad QB? You think Romo in his prime was a better QB? What is your position?

Because this little critique nonsense here and there is silly.

Dez doesn’t have the same speed he did prior to the broken foot though. It’s clear when watching him play.

Not attacking Dez but it’s true. He doesn’t have the same long speed that he has when he was younger.

 

[haleyrules]

His hip is hurt from the weight of his wallet.

 

[Proof]

Dez hasnt been productive for years. Those are the facts.

And what is worse?

A fan hating Dez or a fan hating Dak? Talk about dumb.

Dak is a 2nd year QB that the 2nd best rookie year in the history of the league. Won rookie of the year last year. You take away a half the oline and Zeke and he has struggled some like everyone else.

Dez is simply over paid and over the hill.

This is were you lose any credibility. It’s not about hating Dak, it’s pointing out objective truths. I love Dak and am happy he’s our qb but can acknowledge without any hesitation that he has accuracy issues (along with extreme risk aversion). He’s the qb he is and I think he will steer the team in a good direction for years to come. He’s just also apart of what leads Dez to underwhelm.

Dez was also highly productive over the second half of last year and had a dominant playoff game. You just gloss over it because you’re biased.

Also the numerous times his separation was proven wasn’t “a couple of times “ it was a metric that’s been charted over the course of the season and put him squarely ahead of the majority of the big name receivers in the league.

Is he wide open on go routes? No. Is he gaining consistent separation in the middle of the field and either over thrown or not progressed to? YES

Teams don’t double him because his go routes are designed to clear the underneath for Beasley and witten. It is much more effective to focus on that then to double Dez on low percentage stretch plays.

With that said he is over paid clearly. No one has a problem admitting that. It’s the hyperbole on his abilities and lack of any critical thought or context that is frustrating coming from fans.

If you think it’s more honorable to bash one of most popular, productive, emotional leaders in the teams history than to defend him... well then yeah I’m sure I’m not the type of fan you’d like.

 

[xwalker]

You e got a whole library ofthose type of throws by Dak built on his poor pocket presence and awful technique because he ‘felt a rush’.. look at him in the back.. that’s a common criticism of him..

His INT was an awful pass too and sailed in front and high as well. Of course Dak homers blame Dez for his ‘alligator arms’ While ignoring the fact that Dak didn’t see Bowman drop back into that zone (poor read by Dak) and Dak set his WR to get a concussion all the while throwing it too far in front and high of Dez..

Dez stopped and caused the INT. Dez was concerned about getting hit by a defender coming right at his face. It would have been Pass Interference if he had kept running because a defender can't cut off the WRs route.

 

[khiladi]

Actually its NOT, it's called getting pressure from his RT and not being able to properly follow thru on his pass. That's it. The video doesn't lie

Actually it is.. he was scared of pressure and because of that he didn’t follow througg.. By the time the DL became anywhere near a threat, the pass was already gone..

So yeah Dak got scared by pressure, pressure that had no bearing on whether or not he should have made that pass.

Like I said, just stop the excuses..

 

[HungryLion]

Actually its NOT, it's called getting pressure from his RT and not being able to properly follow thru on his pass. That's it. The video doesn't lie

This is true for this particular play in question. It wasn’t the “threat of pressure”. Dak was hit on his follow through and short armed the pass.

Dak does need better and more consistent footwork.

But the miss on this play wasn’t just Dak missing an easy throw for no reason. He was hit as he was releasing the ball.

 

[dallasdave]

Dude, everybody in the NFL is playing hurt at this point in the season. If that's a viable excuse, why isn't every WR stopping short on routes and dropping a couple balls per game?

I'm not one of those who think Dez is a major issue, but for Broadduss to use the "hurt" excuse is stupid

Well said indeed SIR !!!

 

[CowboyRoy]

Why isnt Beasley producing? He’s a great route runner. Why isnt T-Will producing? Hes a great route runner as well.

Twill sucks. Has never produced. Cant beat single coverage consistently enough.

Beasley?

1. Zeke is out and he was a big part of the whole offense. Play action people dont respect anymore
2. Teams are taking him away. The are doubling him. They know that Dak loves to throw to him. Beasley is no longer sneaking up on people. They are game planning against him.

 

[khiladi]

Dez stopped and caused the INT. Dez was concerned about getting hit by a defender coming right at his face. It would have been Pass Interference if he had kept running because a defender can't cut off the WRs route.

Dez stopped because Dak set him up to get a concussion because the Qb didn’t even read Bowman coming off the snap right to him.. and like usual Dak sailed it high as he normall does when inaccurate

 

[xwalker]

Perfect pass by Dak. Dez pulled up because he was scared. End of story.

Perfect camera angle on the pick to see clearly that Dez pulls up and laughable reaches out for the ball and lands cringing that he was going to get popped. If Dez continues on his route he probably catches the ball above his head in stride and hits a big play.

Any other analysis of this play is biased stupidity.

DeZ has almost as much money as you !!

You are right about one thing, Dez does not have long speed at this point in his career. He also doesn't have short, separation speed either. Dak has to be pinpoint
to actually complete passes to him. Dez has been dropping balls this season because the passes are not consistently delivered by Dak. Dak has become gunshy this
season due to OL issues and only having 3 seconds to process and deliver the pass. Things will improve with Zeke back for the remaining two games but, Dez will never
be that second year player again. Dez is really only good for the slant, the crossing, and the pick play if we would use it more often.
