Why were WR's running open?

[zrinkill]

I thought it was a great game by Moore.

However, WR's were running wide open last year against the Rams in the playoffs as well. Probably more open than yesterday.

I do not agree

How about it has been a bunch of things? Giants are suck, this is (essentially) a contract year for Dak, our O-line is much better this year than last, and we have better receivers: Jarwin matured, Witten's back, Cooper full off-season with Dak, Gallup matured and into second year, and upgrade on slot receiver (Cobb). And yes, of course, Kellen Moore's new scheme/play-calling.

Improvements like this are very rarely just one thing.

 

[ItzKelz]

They played a defense designed to stop the run so Kellen passed. Sounds so logical when you say it out loud

 

[G2]

Yeah, I watched the game. And while the protection was good, there were easily more than 1 pressure. That's silly.

It was out of the 32 attempts.

How many more were there?

Early report says Moore+kitna+Dak = success

Wonder why linehan and Garrett couldn't figure out that mystery.

Very impressed early but want to see how Moore responds to D-Coordinators' adjustments over time. Novelty surprises everyone until patterns can be gleaned.

 

[Whirlwin]

What I like best about this. We're going to use the passing game to open up the running game. Just imagine how much more dangerous the running game will be

Hey, we can put them all 3 together!!

It's Kitmok, on the loose!!!!! Godzilla's headin' back into the ocean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make no mistake about this. Kellen Moore will make adjustments as soon as you see something's close closed down. He will open something else up. Bet On It

Moore certainly called a good game.

But by all means ignore the fact Dak worked his tail off this off season to prepare, he is at the stage where the game has slowed down for him, Kitna has put him in position to deliver the ball better, and he has weapons across the board with a line that gives protection.

Yeah, let's discount that aspect of the game, because it fits an agenda from the past which may no longer be accurate.

If Dak is better in many ways, reading defenses, understanding where the ball should go pre-snap, and delivering the ball in the passing game, what does that do for Zeke? Will defenses still try to stop Zeke and force Dak to beat them?

Last night may be the start of defensive coordinators rethinking that game plan.

I don't really watch the game to count stuff like that, you'd have to ask someone who does.

However, I do remember several times Dak was chased/hit. It was more than just once.

Who's ignoring that? It's like you posted in the wrong thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dak's always been capable of doing what he did, especially reading D's and delivering. What you're ignoring is that Dak was not put in the best position to succeed, and now he is.

 

[Whirlwin]

Every time the Giants expected a run we passed. You could see that they were confused.

 

[Daktozekecoop]

Yeah, the Rams last year. Next Gen stats had his Exp CP at 75% in that game. That IS the game I was watching!

Dak and the Cowboys are going to be winning super bowls for years to come. While Sean is trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

If I could just like this comment 100 times over!

Of course, that's obvious!!!!!

However, that will not stop me from celebrating FINALLY having an NFL quality OC calling plays. Dak will still struggle at times, all QB's do. Go compare Goff's and Brady's super bowl performances. Brady's are a bit better, but not all that much. Brady struggled mightily in the super bowl. He was not goo. Highly inconsistent and kept missing passes. Happens to the best of 'em.

let's not forget sanjay lal in all this effusive commentary. best route running in a long time.

I guess the fact this board routinely has been on Dak's nuggs about his ability to pass. Or the fact most defensive coordinators game plan to take away the running game and force Dak to beat them is just a mirage.

Those facts, and they are facts, indicates he hasn't been as special in the past as he was last night. He has grown into this position. If he keeps this up, the team will be a tough game for any other team this season.

I am not knocking his play. I am saying he has improved.

Yep, Dak was not ready for Frederick to be gone last year. I think he is this year. I think it was a big issue for him at the start of the year last year. Yesterday he was in control and knew where to go. OC's and QB coaches aside, he put in the work.
