"It's a small sample size"....exactly lets not #### our ####s just yet.

Why were the Cowboys recievers so open? Speed Kills.

it's Chris Simms

I enjoyed that, Simms is pretty good imo, don't know if he's right but it sounded compelling (& encouraging)

Also, I want to work in that office

I can't even remember any established QB making a change of their throwing motion years into playing.. Maybe Jake Plummer or Mike Vick?

Tony Romo did quite a bit of work on his throwing motion I believe.

Not his release, per se. But how fast he gets the ball out after it's snapped is like a full second quicker.

Compare it with a timer, then get back to me.

You are probably right on the footwork..But I don't know if that's why his motion has changed or why he's making quicker decisions to throw the ball. It could be. But it's not "just" or only is footwork, which is why I disagreed with you.

I would say his release is quicker. Not a full second, though. I'm talking about a full second or more after the snap.

From there, it really is like a second, or more, quicker.

actually about .3 seconds quicker......last year he averaged about 2.88 and this past game was 2.53....

and his improved throwing motion is from his better footwork and foot placement. gives his throws more consistency....

I remember reading Tom Brady changed his motion several years into his career.

Browsed Google, apparently Brady has done it several times with a body mechanics coach.

There is a change in Dak's throwing motion.

There was a change in motion by getting rid of that dinosaur Linehan and his Vanilla playbook.

Simms talks Kellen Moore and Dak's mechanics

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

I’m shocked at the quality of content Simms has put out so far this year. Great stuff.

Wow, good stuff. Dak is working a plan that promises better results. I noticed that his release times are faster, with hardly any scrambling or antsy feet. More decisiveness and timed throws.

I prefer Linehan. This offense is a mess.

Yea, #bringbackpredictability

Oh my gosh.

Chris Simms is awful at this job.

Awful.

Yes, he did. Hours and hours of extra time!

I heard Kitna went to Dak and told him he needed to work on his motion. He was concerned Dak's passes were Sailing Away. At first, Dak thought his motion was fine, but Kitna said: "Your Fooling Yourself. Its a Grand Illusion." So Dak asked him: "Show Me the Way". So Kitna showed him how and Dak changed it, and you can tell by the results of the first game that we have The Best of Times. I hope they Don't Let it End.

I wrote this because I have Too Much Time on My Hands.....

OMG, that was some serious stuff!
Does that mean Dak is now a Man of Miracles? :starspin:

I noticed that last year. Dak struggling to muscle the ball from a high position. Didn't notice the change this year, but nice to hear it.

QB coaching matters. Who knew? I really like that he saw QB coaches in his free time in the offseason.

Not being a fan of Dak, but I could see a difference in his throws.

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.

I got all tingly when I read that ,,,

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.

But its also Dak knowing before the snap which receivers are open. He is no longer just targeting a few players like Romo to Witten combo. Defenses are going to have to account for everything on the Dallas offense including Dak running the ball.
