Simms talks Kellen Moore and Dak's mechanics



Obviously it's Chris Simms, unlike my thread title.

There is a change in Dak's throwing motion.

That's not Phil.

I don't think that we can understate the importance of the John Kitna hiring. That combined with Moore calling the offense is going to pay huge dividends this season, IMO.

That's not Phil, unless I just haven't watched long enough yet.

You're correct. It's Chris Simms (Phil's son).

The guards pulling on the play-action pass was my favorite play during the game. My reaction was the same as the person (Chris Simms) in the video, "Oh shoot"

I love it when a plan comes together. Dallas is being innovative. Decades of fans screaming and the staff finally listened.

Thank You!, Kellen Moore & Kitna

Yes I noted that in the OP...10 seconds after the post. There was no way to fix the title, though.

That was illuminating and enjoyable.Thank you!

Don't know what has gone on behind the scenes. Wonder if at some point Dak will talk about new mechanics.

Maybe ask a mod to do it. Sorry, I guess I jumped on it before you had a chance to correct it. I'm guessing it was just one of those things where you've been hearing and saying the name for so long, it just came out, even though you knew who it was.

It was a very interesting video. Good find!

It is Chris Simms. I really enjoy his commentary, he always seems knowledgeable and his opinions are typically well thought out.

Hoping he gets his own show instead of been saddled with Florio.

That was really clear on Sunday and also the tempo on offense was high and they were moving with a purpose. It wasn't the run, slowly walk to the line, hand off and run, slowly walk to the line.

Yes, Kitna is a big part of it but Dak had started the change last season.

He had altered his motion in camp and started the season with it but the ball was not coming out of his hand consistently and he reverted back to his old throwing motion.

I was certain he was start working on the new motion again as soon as the season was over.

 

[T-RO]

I did get the sense from Sunday's game that the ball was coming out quicker, but certainly didn't notice what Chris S talks about here.

He is slowing down his throwing motion to get more air under the ball.

Tom Shaw said back in 2017 Dak could be the next Tom Brady.

 

[VACowboy]

Is it true that few teams run true play action?

I noticed a few things right away on Sunday. First was the offense's crisp exit from the huddle, in and out and up to the line with 20 secs left on the play clock. The ball was coming out quicker and Dak's release seemed quicker too, but the biggest change I noticed in Dak was the velocity with which he threw the ball, and watching Simms break it down I see exactly what he's talking about. The Cowboys ran more crossing routes than I've seen in more than a decade, and the whole route tree seemed to be five yards deeper.

Who cares what the lead singer of Styx thinks?

 

[Pass2Run]

Yep, it's a lot quicker release too.

Like a lot quicker this year.

There's only one conclusion to make here: Although already good, Dak is still evolving and putting in the necessary work. And doing it with a winner's mindset.

The players like playing for Dak. You can see it.

The offense looks nothing what Linehan and Garret have been doing for years, and it obviously suits Dak better. If mechanics are helping him make better throws, great. But having wrs open all over the field also helps.

I think he meant Dennis DeYoung.
