I changed my mind on Linehan

[Haimerej]

This was a designed rollout, somehow I don't think the play was designed for 2 WRs to occupy the same square foot of space and the TE to run towards them. Dak was waving the TE to break deep, but he kept running across anyway. The original play design might have been just fine, but unfortunately at least one if not all three were sure what it was.

I can't edit my first response to you, but I found that play if you want to watch it.

Here's a link to it.

You see clearly they're breaking at different levels and only wind up near each other because of the scramble. Not sure why you called it a designed rollout either.

If all 3 WRs are not at playing good football, that just screams bad coaching.

This is why they watch film. This will be presented to him and he will work on it. If he is not capable of making the plays soon then he will be replaced. Or should be. He was missing a few WR that were open that he saw.

I still refuse to believe that someone that had a rookie year like that can’t adjust.

That's the part that baffles me glim.

Allegedly that’s all coachable therefore it falls on JG and Linehan. McClay and Jerry found this diamond in the rough and our coaches have already ruined his career because they haven’t coached him up and they destroyed his confidence in Atlanta. Any other coach would have him well on his way to being fit for a gold jacket

This organization is well known for wasting talent the past 20 yrs

Again, explain RG3? You all act like rookies haven’t come out and ‘set the world on fire’, only to flame out. RG3 didn’t have anywhere near the line or running back Dak had his first year.

And like Linehan said, teams started taking Beasley away. This whole idea that Dak was doing things in the fly and Linehan has no contribution to the success is bogus.

Beasley was beating guys early in the routes, so teams adjusted and forced Dak to throw outside. Teams started showing linemen but then dropping them for example. They started doubling Witten and Beasley.

Unless Dak learns to throw outside as a pocket QB, it’s going to get uglier and uglier. Dak can’t throw outside the hashes unless he’s running outside, escaping the pocket and then it’s no longer outside, but in front.

I believe Dak had a better rookie season than rg3. And the injuries he had killed his career. Maybe it was the mental aspect of blowing his knee. Then a ankle. He isn’t near as mobile.

Which is a good point also. I am wondering if they or Dak has made a effort to not run as much so he decreases the chance of injury. I keep waiting for it happen.

 

[glimmerman]

It was the falcons game. I truly believe that game messes up his internal clock. He hold the ball to long to protect it. Then panics and runs around, don’t plant his feet and throws a inaccurate pass.

 

[Bleu Star]

If we go 0-4, Jerry will fire the source. His name is Scott Linehan.

Oh, for additional perspective, I also indicated that "Dez would not be playing for the Dallas Cowboys this year at that 14.5 mil salary". April 13th was his day.

Will October 1st be Scott's? Stay tuned.

 

[Colombiacowboy]

It's a shame there aren't real personnel guys running this team to see this.

GMs don't matter. They just have to listen.

One would hope they will all see this when reviewing the film.

 

[Keithfansince5]

What's worse is the Giants are watching the film exposing just how limited Dak is. I would love to see their reactions while studying Dak. No wonder Landen Collins said they just need to stop Zeke. Dak replied challenge accepted.

Yes Dak, the challenge is can you throw to open receivers accurately and on time? If so, everything should be good.

 

[Cap12]

a few of those skinny posts and slants where he was saying the receiver was wide open, it makes me wonder if he understands just how amazing Luke Kuechly is at intercepting those and that he is watching Dak intently just waiting to break on them
it's pretty impressive really

Keuchly was playing a "spy" and playing run support a lot. He was spending a lot of time about five yards from the LOS. He wasn't in position to make a bunch of picks. Yeah, if Dak floated short pass in the middle of the field or threw an inaccurate screen, Luke might have picked one off, but he didn't have many deep zone drops like he did against Romo in 2015. That is partly why I was so frustrated with Dak. Carolina is great with its front 7, but weak in the secondary. Without Keuchly being committed to the back end and as open as receivers were, Dak should have had a big day. Most NFL QBs would have under those situations.

 

[Cap12]

Dude, players at this level shouldn't have to rely on "good coaching" to allow them to perform at a capable level. Despite that, every receiver played as well as their QB allowed them to play. Lots of open targets that could have gone for big plays were ignored or misfired on by the QB. Yeah, some bad penalities put Dak in some tough down and distances and that's not his fault, but he could have more than made up for the penalties by hitting even a few of the plays that he either didn't see or didn't trust (but were clearly open if you watch the All 22).

Okay, so why have a coaching staff? Honestly .

 

[DFWJC]

After watching a video from AKOYE Media, demonstrating just how bad Dak is, and just how open our receivers where, I changed my mind on Linehan.

Folks, we have a problem here. Dak is costing us games. His fear and inability to throw the ball, it is crushing this team. This loss falls squarely on Dak.

Dak routinely ONLY looks at one half of the field. Guys are running wide open and Dak isn't even looking. It takes him too long to process this info for him to pull the trigger. Often times he creates a sack when in fact he had a receiver wide open.

Not sure how Dak recovers from this. He simply is not throwing to guys who are open for 10-20 yards. He literally had 2 EASY TD's sitting there that he muffed. One was a 60+ yarder to Jarwin the other a 50+ yarder to TWill. Dang.

Watch this expose on Dak. Be prepared to be sick.

It was a good video.
Although I have issues with Linehan, the safe space, whining, take-no-responsibly for the players' actual play, criticism..... has gotten disgustingly pathetic.

 

[Cap12]

To coach their particular philosophy, to work with younger players so they can make the jump from the college to the pro game and to fix subtle holes in players' games. For the most part, the receivers did their job. It's not their fault or the OC or other coaches' fault if the QB can't get them the ball.

Yep. All the scheming in the world won't work if the QB doesn't execute. Dak simply must be better.

 

[Playmaker3128]

No doubt dak is to blame for some of this. Not making the right reads.

I still think part of it is the coaches don't put him in a position to get into rythm. Even his rookie year when has going well he seemed to be a second half type player.

Whats up with all the stupid side to side trick type plays. I get that its part of the nfl now, but what happened to just running with zeke and letting your qb make throws. Instead of stalling drives trying to get too cute.

 

[CATCH17]

Look at the Oline.

Tyron freaking Smith made so many mental mistakes.

Lael Collins as well.

 

[jnday]

It doesn't matter who is calling the plays when the QB is not capable of completing even the easiest of passes. Dak is a coach killer.

Yeah, he had a better year slightly, but both were pretty much unprecedented and RG3 problem was his inability to get through his first progression and you could see it before he blew out his knee, particularly against Seattle in the playoffs. He couldn’t play in the pocket either.

Dak is different in that he actually doesn’t even thriw the ball while going through progressions and RG3 arm is much stronger.

But both couldn’t QB out of 5-7 drops and from the pocket.
