Observations from the big Win!

Wood · Sep 17, 2018

1. Tavon Austin - I can't remember last time Dallas had receiver with this kind of burst. Mismatch on field. I watched Jenkins (NYG CB) shut down Dez for years. Austin made him look like small child on skates for 1st time. He starts from here on out.

2. Dorance Armstrong - First time I have seen rookie DE bull-rush OL like he was channeling Reggie White. If he adds a move or two I think he can be as good as Tank within few years. Freakish strength for rookie.

3. TEs - please leave me alone. Dress none of them next week except for Rico.

4. Dak - wasn't great but much improved. Clear to me he needs to involve his legs to balance out other deficiencies. If he can somehow get onto roll this is dangerous team with great RB and improving D.

5. Defense. Offenses look like they are in mud trying to move ball on this defense. Might have reached tipping point of Dallas defense being more talented than most of offenses they will face.

7. Taco. Might be most improved player on this team. First time I saw him in TC (last year) you could see how dangerous he could become if he added strength. You now have player who might have longest reach in NFL who is getting taste of QB sacks. Early in his development and could get considerably better.

We need to get a good backup QB. I think Dak is mainly top notch when he is running the ball and risks injury. It is what it is and its a chance that needs to be taken if thats the type of QB he is but we need a plan B in case he gets hurt.

Dak made some crucial first down runs.

Amen, brutha -- a legit backup QB would be a nice touch! Next draft, perhaps?

Dak's accuracy continues to be a concern.

Other than the miss with Rico in the endzone Dak had some really good accuracy. He was pinpoint on most of his throws.

I feel like Dak missed two throws last night.

For the most part he was very accurate.

Would it be out of the question for an NFL team to use 2 QB's weekly ? OK, its thinking out of the box but sometime out of the box thinks pays off.

Dak did so surprisingly good, Im concerned he may not be as good next week or cant do a repeat performance.

And the defense isn't even full strength with key platers Woods, Irving, and Gregory out.

He should be fine as long as the OL holds up in pass protection. If not, trouble beckons.

Carter · Sep 17, 2018

Dak Needs to develop a Cam Newton like Rungame or he is toast as a Starter. If you cant even put up 200 Yards of passing with one pass in the opening of the game going for 65 Yards you are in Trouble in this League.

I think its 10 Games in a Row now with Sub 200 Yards passing.

Don't forget the near pick to Beasley in the endzone.

It’s 4 games in a row with sub 200 yard passing, but most of the last 10 (8) have been sub 200

It makes you look petty when you don't give a man props after a good game
Yes they stalled and only put up 20 but he looked as close to 2016 as he has been since... 2016.

Win is a win...….agreed.....but we reaching to commend Dak?

No, he missed 2 throws and we moved the ball which won the field position battle. I've been saying all Dak needs to do is make teams respect him and we won't be picking all that high in the draft. When given time, Dak looks good.... Stop me if you've heard that before for QBs.

If he can keep this up, we will win a lot of games.

TOP favored the Giants last night. And even though Dak had <200 yrds passing, he did supplement with almost 50 yrds in running.

After two games, its obvious we aren't who we wanted to be. Or thought we were. We're going to have to get wins in other ways.

Props to the staff for coming up with a game plan trying to play to the strengths of our players. Even if we had lost, that was still good to see.
