LVE changed this defense. Dak still a liability

[mattjames2010]

i mentioned about a week ago, with some blowback, that our D is borderline top 5 and could heat up near the end of the season. I didn’t think they would look THIS good, but we may have just mentally broken the Saints.

LVE is the #1 reason for this, he has changed the entire way this defense plays, which is becoming far more aggressive with tackling and getting takeaways. While I’m still not completely sold on our secondary, Awuzie and Brown stepped up last night.

The offense is a different story - this is reminding me a lot of what we saw last year with the Jags. Yeah, it was great we dominated the clock, but we put up 0 points in the second half and topped out at 13 points.

I don’t like Dak, but there were some positives - that run where he broke two tackles for the first, that got me pumped up....then goes on to miss Gallup who would have the game clinching TD and proceeds to fumble in the red zone. You gotta make those plays, dude.

You can win a Super Bowl with the level the D is playing at right now - but the missed opportunities that we had last night and the turnover, most of the time great offenses will take advantage of these and luckily our D broke the Saints.

Some kudos needs to go to Garrett - I think he feels his seat pretty much on fire right now and he had this team prepared against the most dangerous team in the league. Jerry, see what happens when you don’t allow your coaches and players to ever feel they have job security?

Give it a rest. Dak gets blamed for everything. Good gracious granny, can't everyone just enjoy the win. We get that people don't like Garrett, Dak, Linehan.

Dak carried the team to the play-offs as a rookie. The team had a ton of adversity last season. This year the team cut Dez, lost Witten and Frederick. The team tried to upgrade the line coach which was an obvious failure.

Jerry and Garrett fire the O-line coach.
Jerry trades for Cooper.
Dallas starts winning consistently with Dak as the QB.
Dallas beats the best team in the NFL.
Most fans enjoy their day and basked at how this team rallied as a team with all 46 players contributing to the team win.

Dak had a rating of 115.5 and completed 86% of his passes.

We did win, right? Am I missing something?

It’s unfortunate that Dak has the limitations that he does. This team seems like an elite QB away from their next championship.

 

[DogFace]

Dak was 24-28

 

[Bullflop]

Michael Gallup appears to be progressing as a receiver and Dak is taking advantage of it. Let's see if they can continue to improve together.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dak was 24-28

When you Dink and dunk, its easy to complete a high % of passes

No,no I think you about covered it.

 

[Hadenough]

I think Dak is doing the best he can he is just limited in his ability. That being said we better all hope that Zeke stays healthy because he is the engine that drives the offense.

What was his YPA?

8.9?

Let me guess there’s a couple of throws we need to omit from the stats to get a true picture of his performance.

Willie even you have to admit Dak is taking a beating. 45 sacks!!! The offensive line is leaking.

 

[DogFace]

Again, Dak was 24-28 with 8.9 YPA

If you’re criticizing that you’re not acting your age.

 

[DogFace]

Willie even you have to admit Dak is taking a beating. 45 sacks!!! The offensive line is leaking.

8.9 YPA

It's the same bunch creating "I hate Dak" threads on a daily basis...over and over and over, and most are old Romoholics. Purely agenda driven malcontents trying to ruin fans' enjoyment of this QB and team.

8.9 YPA

Does this include yards AFTER the catch?

 

[DogFace]

Does this include yards AFTER the catch?

Yes. Same as Joe Montana’s was

 

[Turkish-Cowboy]

I LOVE LVE but it is not only him who changed the defense. Jaylon plays at a high level, Byron Jones turned out to be one of the best corners, Woods and Ross came out of nowhere and brought some toughness to that line. Lawrence is still beasting and this goes on... There are much more factors than only LVE for the greatness of this defense.

As for Dak, he will be critisized no matter what. Go ahead.

 

[Boyz981]

Does this include yards AFTER the catch?

Every QB's does! not just Dak! LOL

 

[pacy]

Every QB's does! not just Dak! LOL

Which proofs my point. YPA is a combination of a play made by a QB AND a Receiver.

This defense is masking our weaknesses on offense. It’s a look Cowboy fans aren’t familiar with rich traditions of prolific passing QB’s.

For years we had a QB which masked our weaknesses on defense to remain relevant now its flipped. Winning cures all ills.

I’m not sure why it’s so important to attempt to elevate yourself above those fans who criticize Dak?

It reminds of the same issues and agendas we went thru with the “ Romoholics” you’re calling out.

Some of these Daksters appear to have some agendas also which might be attached to their criticism of Romo.

And there’s no reason for it to ruin your enjoyment. Just like we tried to tell the Romoholics for years. Ignore.

But continuing an attempt to elevate or divide isn’t very enjoyable for the rest of us. As always there’s two extremes on an issue and you are becoming the other extreme. Just saying...
