Cooper has to make that catch, but it should have been out in front of him where he can see it and the field at the same time. When your moving east at full speed and you have to turn and twist to the west to catch a ball its simply a more difficult catch to make. Cooper said he took his eye of it for a second which is natural because you want to look at the ball but also where you are going. Coop and Dak share the blame. Certainly a guy wanting near $40 million a year has to make a better throw than that regardless of whether Cooper should have caught it or not. It seems to me, Dak has thrown a few passes behind receivers the last two weeks. His missed Cobb on a crucial 3rd down last week in New Orleans by throwing it behind him.

But let me repeat, Cooper has to make that catch. Its all part of how bad the entire team is playing. There are threads on Maher, the DTs, the LBs, the coaches, Cooper, Dak and DLaw and the OL. Sounds like a group effort.

Nonsense. A professional receiver has to make that catch. Passes are NOT always in the easy spots.

Shocker.

It's amazing how stubborn everyone in the organization is.

Why spend money and assets on fast talented linebackers if you are going to have play soft zone and rally to the receiver after an easy catch. Why not use their athleticism to play tight coverage on those underneath routes and force the qb to hold the ball? And we refuse to get dtackles that can take up olineman and give these backers a chance to attack running backs.

Until the scheme changes, it doesn't really matter what kind of players we get on defense. We make it way too easy for opposing offenses.

I'm off work today and it's been pouring all day so I'm stuck inside. Been watching/listening football all day. Not one single pundit has agreed with your take. Not one. To a person its been said that it was a bad pass behind the receiver forcing him to reach back for it.

The only place I've heard it is all on Cooper is here. That includes the live radio broadcast I was listening to the beginning of the game on.

Have you ever caught a football?

Every pundit has actually said that it was cooper's fault and he should catch it. Who are you listening to Stephen A?

please read my "Dak default under duress" post...Dak not stepping into his throws is the biggest contributing factor in most of his bad throws....he defaults to it under duress every time...tries to heave while on back foot...this is correctable

no excuses....no way he should get even 30 mil a year but he will get more than that and cripple our team from getting the help he needs.....

Amari is a highly paid professional, it's not like he was having to make a one handed, behind his back catch like OBJ. Dak threw it where he could catch it and run in in for a TD. The next series he threw him another one that should have been a TD, but Amari tripped himself and fell. If those two are caught and taken in for a TD, this game is very different. But the defense sucked, especially Malik Collins. Marinelli kept running those stupid stunts, leaving huge holes for the LBs to fill while having a blocker in their face.

This game is mostly on the defense, but the whole team had a hand in it and so did the coaching staff.

No one should be surprised by this it's a copycat league. The remedy for this is to stop looking for a Warren Sapp clone and just draft bigger better players at DT[ STOP with all the cast off low budget DT] and get rid of Hot Rod

I don’t get why we don’t have bigger tackles. I understand sacrificing size for quickness in special cases like LaRoi Glover or Jay Ratliff because they give you way more splash plays and have to be accounted for. We haven’t had guys like that since they played here.

I don't watch that clown show.

NFL network and Sirius. Bad pass that could have been caught. Nobody gave Dak a pass for that bad pass.

No not really - he had the WHOLE middle of the field open - you have to lead the WR - I mean time after time we see him throw slightly behind the WR on those crossing/slant routes.

This means nothing in relation to the argument..he hit Cooper in the hands..period

Maybe all these pundits should look at that still photo and they can explain to us riff raff that it was a bad throw and Cooper can't be expected to catch that ball.

Cooper himself says he should have caught it.

Should have been caught. I mean the ball was literally going to his body. You sure it was NFL Network where DJ a former QB stated 2 ints weren't his fault. You were probably listening to the broad on there that doesn't know football and just wants to push dumb narrative.

It's on both the QB and WR. Dak needs to hit an open receiver in stride and Cooper needs to make the catch.

Not sure why this is so difficult and citing "still photos" is incredibly stupid.

Not hard to run inside against our DL that's spread 15 yards wide with one linebacker about to get blocked by the Center. Interior DL can't get off a block and the linebackers run into the blocks instead of the lane the RB is going through.

Every other defense has no problem hounding the line and attacking the ball carrier at the line, we're making contact 5 yards after.

Actually, Cooper hit the ball with his hands. The difference being that had Cooper not twisted his body and put his hands more than 90 degrees behind, Dak wouldn't even have hit him in the back of the head. I see it as about 50/50, Dak and Cooper.

TNCowboy · Oct 7, 2019

at people who excuse Dak for yet another bad throw. Cooper had a dozen or more feet of separation from anyone else and Dak makes him reach back for it.

Cooper has a problem with his hands, always has. Just like Dak has a problem with accuracy, always has. Signing the 2 of them to a combined $50-$55/million a year would be insanity, but then our fool of an owner seems very proud of overpaying Jaylen Smith and Ezekiel Elliott.

You think that's insanity? Having that garbage program as your profile image is far more insane

Why is it incredibly stupid. The picture shows VERY clearly where the ball was in relation to Cooper. That photo shows all you need to know, unless you want to stick your head in the ground and say it's all Dak's fault.

Anybody who knows anything about football will look at that picture and tell you he should have caught it.

What do you think Micheal Irvin would say when they look at that picture? Jerry Rice? Randy Moss? It was a bad throw by the QB? :laugh:

Still photo is better than the video they were watching?
I didn't even say that they said Cooper "can't be expected to catch that ball".
Bad pass making a much more difficult, but catch-able ball.

Is it not true that had Dak thrown a better ball allowing Cooper to catch it in stride it is likely a completion and very possibly a TD?

Dak doesn't get a pass on that just because Cooper couldn't make the difficult catch.
