Tell Amari that Dak makes tight window throws all the time. He really needs to hear your homer opinion at this moment.

Maybe I should posts GIFs of Cooper dropping balls in his chest and stomach when he does make the throw? Would that make you feel better? I may be a homer. But I am realistic. Or are you going to go around now and spew that the team is turning on Dak like some of your other groupies?

This is my favorite from Cooper. No OPI either. Why do refs hate the Eagles? Lol.

NONE of them should be, except maybe Gallup. I'm NOT turning this post into bash Dak, but these guys are getting targets unless they're 100% open. There's no opportunity for Amari or CeeDee to beat their man at the catch point.

All #1 receivers want the ball and although Amari is quieter doesn't mean he wants the ball any less.

I'm skeptical he would lead the league in every category, but he does need more targets. He's had 3 games this season he's been targeted 10+ times. If I'm an opposing team I'm not that worried about him because we don't get him the ball. Other top receivers are getting 10+ targets in half the games or majority of games they play. It seems foolish to pay someone 20 million a year that you don't specifically game plan to target.

It's certainly on Amari to get separation, but coaches have to design and call plays to give him a chance to make play. Dak also has to trust his receiver and not be afraid to give him a chance to get the ball. Even if it ends up incomplete or batted down it still provides film and keeps defenses second guessing.

After looking at the All-22 vs. the Cardinals it pretty much confirms some of my thoughts about Prescott since 2018. Too quick to check down. Too quick to take the underneath route. Some plays he won't let develop long enough for longer chunk plays. A quarterback can't see everything but he left more than a few deeper shots on the field last Sunday. It seems that he doesn't totally trust his arm or what he is seeing. It also seems that his anticipation is simply off.

Moore is the other half of the problem. Watch the tape of Detroit and Green Bay vs. Arizona and it will become quite clear how the Dallas approach was woefully insufficient. Run the damn ball (both teams ran heavy) and in Green Bay's case specifically, move your best chess piece (Adams) around and go after mismatches.

Dak is just not a "greedy", aggressive quarterback right now, at least not against better defenses. He is too quick to simply take what the defenses will give him, which is fine, to a point...that point being when you need to put the team on your back and light a fire...get the big mo back on your side. The thing you like about him is also the thing that you hate...meaning, you like that he is careful with the football, BUT it also means that he won't "push" the ball down the field consistently. Playing with a lead and a running game will obscure this...when he has neither then it's trouble. My other fear is simply that he has spent too much time under the influence and tutelage of guys like Linehan and Moore, his heir apparent.

And finally, there are two types of guy you simply don't want to be in life. 1) The guy who doesn't do what he is told and...2) The guy who ONLY does what he is told. I'm afraid that #2 might be Dak's mentality. He's gonna have to find some salty from somewhere.

if he plays this week he will be targeted early and often. the offense will move the ball and most likely win. nobody wants to look bad and cooper made his statement.

Dak is a very different Quartetback since the calf injury. I don't think it has anything to do with the injury, but after the Denver game everything became inconsistent. The lack of run game and poor blocking turned the Cowboys 1 dimensional. More pressure fell on Dak and he sped up his passing clock where as you mentioned patience isn't there. He has to let a few more balls rip down field and trust his receivers to make plays. Moore has to do a better job with his playcalling, he's putting the team in too many 3rd and long situations.

They are not getting enough on 1st down. There really isn't a focus on running the ball. Pollard should probably be featured right now. He is quicker, more explosive. While you still use him with Elliott (pass pro), combined they should be seeing at least 25 - 30 touches per game.

What you have to understand is that just about everything Moore learned, he got from Linehan. He will never run the ball as a priority. Once again, Jerry Jones' fingerprints are on what's fast becoming a questionable decision to give so much control and power to someone with so little experience. And this type of thing reminds me of how dubious it was to install Jason Garrett after the dismissal of Phillips.

At the end of the day...that music you hear Prescott and Moore producing together, is not a sweet symphony. It's the arresting and discordant rattle of a trash can trapped under a moving truck. With maybe a crash on the horizon.

Or thru the DB
Click to expand...

Or the receiver has to work back to the ball like they start teaching you at age 6 or 7.. If Amari comes back to the ball it's an easier catch unless the DB interferes.. which of course in MOST cases nets a flag. Either way first down.. next play..

When I posted a while back that Daks demise would start in the locker room some ridiculed me.
Tick tock Tick Tock Prescott the gig is falling apart for you.....
Coop isn't good enough for Dak, cut the bum and get him someone else, and more expensive to boot!!!:muttley:

As soon as we drafted Micah you could have stuck a fork in Dak . . . it was over. . . a different environment around here based upon every man being responsible for their own actions.

I knew it would cause Dak to have no where to hide. . . and no one left to defend his obvious short comings

Dang Bruh, we got people turning on Amari now? Some of yall would torch the whole team to defend Dak.

Amari Cooper saved Dak's career after he claimed he didn't need a WR1, like he was Tom Brady or somebody. Now it's piss on Coop like yall did Dez for QB who couldn't throw a back shoulder pass or a fade. Now one of the best route running WRs in football isn't good enough...exhausting stuff man.

I think he probably right but that’s like saying I don’t want to share e my teammates. Shultz is really good, Lamb is okay too still learning. Wilson is super fast. Dallas has no RBs so I’m seeing 10 catches for Cooper, Shultz, and Lamb. I’d give up on the run altogether unless it’s Clement. Have Dak drop back 50 times and play defense.
