Linebackers peaking, Witten running underneath so they have to respect that too, X and Z flying up the sidelines controlling the safeties, Cobb wiiiiide open.


We need a vid of Zeke's TD run too.. It looked simple but there was so many things going on during that play that the defense had to respect.

Look at this play...

Austin faking the sweep which leads to Amari ear holing the safety, Witten motioning which leads to the backside of the defense having to stay home (47 might've made the play without that motion by Witten) plus the threat of Dak running.

Such a well designed run play and the defenders are having to actually think which slows them down.

What was funny was the play right before this one where I believe Dak hit Gallup or Amari, wasn’t a perfect throw, but an easy catch where receiver had to slow down some to secure the ball. Troy was all over Dak’s throw—how he should’ve been better, how he didn’t lead the receiver and probably cost them a TD.

Very next play Dak hits Cobb in stride for a TD. :cool:

Big block by Cooper on that play

That played showed at least 3 eligible receivers open. Zeke, Witten, and Cobb. Dak went for the big score. Awesome. I think that was Gallup that was on the ground after contact with the defender. I'm not sure what happened there, but he probably might have gotten open too had he not fallen.

Was that technically a RPO? Witten motioning does a couple of things. If the Giants were in man then it carries a defender away from the play. Or he motions to pickup a backside tackler. Or he motions, Dak reads the defender and pulls the ball and throws to Witten to the opposite side of the play. So much going on that play with just Witten. Then add in Zeke, Austin and Dak.

the best throw of the day was arguably the play where Cobb came in motion from the right & Dak threw it just as he turned up field. He put the ball at arms length in front of & at just the right height for a natural catch while building speed. I think the play went for 21 yards or there abouts.

Dak has not been very accurate with throws like that in the past. Get the completion but the receiver having to stop or adjust allowed defenses to limit the gain. Getting the throws in the right spots where our skills guys can do their thing is the difference between easy wins & grind it out, no margin for error that we have been used to.

Moore's offense produces an open receiver on every play. Dak just has to find him, and he's been doing so since TC.
all 3 were open, the narrator is correct,

typically Dak goes for the underneath stuff and misses looking deep and dumps it to Witt or Zeke who were both open on that play..there were so many options THIS game, im hoping this is going to be normal but sometimes these games happen, our Oline played very well in Pass protection, Zekes a threat, and all the WRs seemed open all day..

however is this a few games year or is Moore truly using formations and patterns to get Wrs open on regular basis vs the timing based almost Set still routes by SL? time will tell the truth..

Lots of movement.
