IM gonna start with two sets stats for Dak and Elliot pre Cooper and Filo and post.
Dak Prescott before Cooper & Filo
7 games
169 ypg 62%comp 6.52ypa 8td 4int 88.2RTG 2rushing td
After Cooper and Filo
3 games(2 with Filo)
243.6 ypg 69.7% comp 7.4yra 3td 1 int 2 rushing td 96.3 RTG
And it doesnt stop there.
Ezekiel Elliot first 7 games
88.4 ypg 4.6ypc 3td 25rec ypg 1td
3 games with Cooper(2 Filo)
111.3ypg 5.7ypc 2td 55.3 rec ypg 1td
Two moves have improved Daks numbers across the board. But not only his they have improved Elliots numbers by alot. It hasnt always been pretty in the 3 games but it takes some time to get a chemistry going. But where before Dallas didnt have the guy running routes who could take that S with him and allowed the the defense to cheat with that extra guy in the box. And they had a guy at LG who is very athletic but just doesnt have the strength right now to do what needs to be done.
So what did Jerry do? He went and got a legit #1 who was being wasted by Gruden intentionally gutting the Raiders to make it his own. And inserted a big strong guy who is average at best but he has the strength they need.
Too many people are blinded by their own need to think they know more football then these people who are paid to do this for a living. Maybe just maybe Dallas didnt have the players to start the yr. But they got them in there now. Everybody questioned Dallas in drafting Vander Esch(me included) and this kid is by far the favorite to win DROY. Yes, sometimes this teams does things that make you scratch your head, but they know more then any of us.
Getting back to Dak, he needs to stop questioning his impulse and let the ball out of his hands. He's second guessing himself and you can see that in how many times he sets up to throw only to not. But we are seeing it alot less. While Cooper has done alot for Dak, i think Dak really needs that TE as the safety net if they are going to stick with JG moving forward. Swaim is ok but he seems to be getting hurt alot more now. He misses alot of plays during games because he takes himself out.
The team has finally learned how to use Elliot, he's been over 200 total yrds 2 games in a row. He just seems to be seeing the field better because he's being more patient. Using that studder step that showed up Bell up in 2016.
Joe Looney IMO needs to be brought back at LG if Frederick is coming back next yr. Looney has transformed his body and he can move out there on the field.
Jaylon smith and Leighton Vander Esch have transformed this defense. It's hard to replace Lee, but this team did it. Really think both these kids should be grateful to have played and learned from a great teacher an player in Lee. This team needs to sign this guy back as soon as he retires as a coach.
Its good to see this team realizing they have a very athletically gifted player in Jourdan Lewis. They really need to find ways to get him on the field. I have no idea why he isnt returning kicks and punts either. I have no idea how Brown plays over him. Every time opposing teams need a 1st down on 3rd down they seem to just target Brown.
Dallas has some crazy depth at DL. They had 4 players out and still got pressure and held the Falcons to under 100 yrds.8th overall in total defense, and 3rd in points allowed.
