Twitter: Dak will focus on accuracy next year

Dak may also benefit from some mind reading courses to be able to predict where Dez IS vs where he's "supposed" to be.

As opposed to what? What should he have said. He was asked a question and answered it.

Read the first sentence again. He's not doing anything different than what Romo did and Garrett does, giving them very little. How many times did you hear Romo say "we've got to get better at that'? Oh yeah? You gonna go pass protect for Free?

All they do, in most instances, is acknowledge the question and admit there is a problem. I doubt anyone is more aware that Dak had some accuracy issues better than himself. He was aware of that in college too.

What he didn't say was that his receivers need to get better separation, recognize blitzes and their assignments, his OL has to protect better and his OC needs to call better plays. But I betchya he thinks that.

 

[Gameover]

Take the Owens stuff elsewhere.

He's not a real Cowboys player. I don't care about his plight to the HOF

 

[cowboyec]

good for Dak.
this is a chess game.
Nfl adjusted to Dak.
His move to counter.
Im not betting against him.
Like Romo,Dak has a Lions Heart.

These numbers are from 2017. The first set of games are Prescott's 8 games when the pressures amounted to less than 40% of his dropbacks. The second set of games are his 8 games when they amounted to 40% or more. The ranking in parentheses is where that passing performance would rank in that situation.

Alex Smith led the league passing from a clean pocket with a 115.0 rating. Prescott had a 115.4 rating from a clean pocket in the first set of games, which would have put him slightly ahead of Smith. Tom Brady led the league in passing when pressured with a 96.6 rating. Prescott had a 92.3 rating when pressured in the first set of games, which would have ranked 2nd to Brady if it had been for the whole season.

As great as the numbers are in the first set of games, that's how terrible they are in the second set.

Guard in the 1st!

 

[Oh_Canada]

Wow. Just wow.


Dude had 6 games with 0 passing Tds (we were 2-4 in those games).

Cowboys fans need to do better. We are talking about the Dallas Cowboys here. The biggest franchise in sports. Settling and being content with that kind of play at the QB position is insane.

22 out of 32 is good by anyone’s standards.

 

[Cowpolk]

He looks like a young Bellicheat.

That 30 for 30 on the two Bills was pretty good.

If ugly coaches win games he is gonna be the best ever

 

[Donut]

Hey whatever it take lol. Bacon. Maybe someone will hit Garrett with the ugly stick soon.

 

[CCBoy]

Butler had by far his the highest catch rate of his career and most passes to him were deep.

Williams had by far his best catch percentages in the two years with Dak.

He often missed a wide open Dez deep and throws with Dez were often high or just off.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's not about focus, and it's not about Dak. It's about poor player development. Since we won his first year, this poor coaching staff let him get by w/ poor fundamentals. We've been doing this for years, and it's horrific coaching.

I watched them do footwork drills in TC. And while a fanboi wants to give their favorite a pass some of this is still on Dak as well.

As for Dak, he was not very accurate in college. He was his rookie year. He just improve on his own? And if that is the case then why is it not on him that he got worse last year?

Coaches certainly should have had him drill footwork and arm motion more. At the same time it was Dak out there throwing the ball all over the place.

You can pretend that they have not developed players but that is asinine. We draft and develop and have more pro bowls coming from that process than anywhere else in the league over the past 5 years.

Jeff Heath, Cole Beasley, La'el Collins, Tyron Smith, Demarco Murray, Dwayne Harris, Tyrone Crawford, James Hanna, Travis Frederick, Terrence Williams, Zack Martin, Demarcus Lawrence, Anthony Hitchens, Geoff Swaim, Zeke Elliott, Jaylon Smith, Maliek Collins, Dak Prescott, Anthony Brown, Kavon Frazier, Chidobe Awuzie, Taco Charlton, Jourdan Lewis, and Noah Brown were all drafted/UDFA and developed by this coaching staff.

Yeah they are easy to anticipate and scheme on game days, Yeah they are slow to adjust to what teams are doing against them. Yeah they are conservative to a fault. At the same time they are not complete bad particularly when it comes to developing players. They do that better than most.

 

[4lifecowboy]

Accuracy is not always 100% on the QB. A QB must be able to throw to a spot with the confidence that his WR is going to be there. Dez and T-Will have not been that reliable in route running which certainly affects Dak’s ability to be more accurate.

Not saying Dak doesn’t need to improve, but the passing game is a complex coordination of the entire offense and timing is a critical piece where every member of the offense must contribute.

And vice versa a wr needs to believe a qb can put it in a spot that is not gonna get them killed. An inconsistent qb breeds alligator armed wrs.

Read the first sentence again? It’s literally what I responded to. Why would he say any of what you’re suggesting in response to a direct question of what HE is going to do personally?

He gave a pointed response, with a clear area that he needs to improve in. If you believe it’s lip service, that’s cool I suppose.

as I have said before the qb has to be much better than he was in the second half of the season or the rest of what every cowboys do wont matter defense or anything else

 

[Bowdown27]

Why do you feel this is a make or break year for Garrett? Jerry is never predictable.

I think the writings on the wall. You’re right about Jerry but I think if we don’t make the playoffs and win at least one. He’s gone.
