  • Pocket poise has been compromised
    • Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw
    • Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions

Nah. Dak has improved drastically on over half of those, which is having such a bad day as yesterday is inexcusable.

The Oline has royally sucked in recent years. Why don't you acknowledge that? We have eyes, eyes, eyes!

That's a poor sample video for the point you're making. It should have been called a "hit to the head of the QB", plus his own man not only got in the way, but held him there.

The defense was emulating the Giants on Monday and then Denver on Tuesday.

It is what it is and your complaints should be directed to Dak's faults as noted by the NFL scouts....
I mean common how many times is he in la la land getting sacked from behind and fumbling the football???

Was he also in the worst shape of his career?

Is it opposite day?

Believe me, I see Dak's faults. His pocket presence needs improvement, but that video is a bad example. He also needs to get better at leading his receivers, so they don't have to stop or turn around as often. He hesitates to run, causing a lack of yardage at times. His soft touch passes are often under thrown.

Since there's nothing I can do about it, I just keep hoping he puts it all together, because he has the tools to be a very good QB.

No flip-flopping, bro. Just upset. Those overthrows at wide open WRs is what truly gets me. No excuses for that. Bring your release point down!!! It's like pitching baseball.

If not, learn how to not overpower your throws but instead add a little touch with a little arc to your throws.

Who is Dak's QB coach? What is he teaching him? Dak should have mastered his throws by now. It's year 7 already.

How Baseball Is Building Better NFL Quarterbacks
From a biomechanical standpoint, the throwing motion for quarterbacks and pitchers is largely the same, so skills that help on the diamond can help on the gridiron.

Nolan Ryan used to throw a football around before a game.

Question for those of you who have been to camp or have been watching a lot of film what percentage is he throwing out of the pocket versus moving around?

We can only hope at this point and thank you for a reasonable response.

Dak had a HORRIBLE 2nd day of full pads practice at 2022 T.C.! Everything that he's known to do wrong, well, he pretty much did it...

Struggling players on Day 2 of full pads

Dak Prescott

Listing Prescott as a struggling player should be contextualized first. By all accounts, Dak had an excellent day during the first practice of the week. But he followed up a solid practice with a poor performance on Tuesday.

The receiving group is listed as a winner partially because they had plenty of opportunities to make impressive catches on errant passes from Prescott. And CeeDee wasn't listed in the WR discussion because Prescott kept missing him deep when he was wide open.





Overthrowing receivers on deep passes seems to be the story of the day for Prescott. While he was able to hit Schultz for a TD after he escaped the pocket during today’s mojo moment, that was really the only positive.

Part of this is due to the defensive line impressing in today’s practice. But for the most part, the offensive line looked fine. It was just a down day for the Cowboys’ signal caller and fans should not place too much stock in it.

But on a positive note, the receiving room showed up big.

Snap out of it and fix those sudden mistakes, Dak. No excuse for such bad throws all of a sudden.

As promised, when Dak does well, he deserves praise. When he does bad, I will post about it and blast him. Let's go, Dak! You can do better.

No he didn't! Take that back! We Dak homers understand that Dak was purposely throwing bad passes to showcase his receivers. That's what true leaders do!!!
