Dak only attempted 7 passes

Bullflop · Dec 21, 2019

Dak will be rested during the week and get the advantage of all the medical care and trainers treatment available. I think he'll play and play well. He gave every indication of being ready, willing and able to play from what I saw on the evening news two days ago. He stated he was feeling better with each day that passed and fully expected to play. He'll also have plenty of help from Zeke Elliott and Tony Pollard in the running game to lessen his load.

Pound Elliott all game long

and let dak throw it on play action

but open up the game with play action first since theyre going to put 13 in the box

13 just for Zeke. If we decide to use two backs on the same play, it'll def be 16 or 17.

Who do you think took all the reps while he wasn’t practicing?

Quincy Carter?

No?

The 7 attempts doesn't tell the whole story... In the 3rd qtr. The run/pass ratio was 8/7 (+1scramble). Dak was 6-1 for 61 yards on those 7 attempts... And the score was 34-7 going into the 4th quarter.. There was no reason to pass after that... The goal was to run out the clock. The Cowboys first possession in the 4th was 7 straight runs for 53 yards. That drive ended with cowboys having a 30 point lead with less than 7 minutes left. You don't need to pass in that situation.

So it appears Dak didn't pass more than 7 times because he didn't need to. Also note, he also had 3 rushes in the 2nd half...not what you would expect from a QB with a shoulder issue.

Hey..

I just saw the statement made by a sportscaster here locally and thought to pass it along.

Whatever its worth.

So the number of pass attempts after injury was 20?

Where the hell did 7 come from?

20-13=7

Creeper · Dec 21, 2019

aand here I was thinking the Cowboys finally learned a thing about how to call plays. Instead, it was Dak's injury dictating the play calling?

No?

With this staff I don’t think it would go any worse with QC

@mattjames2010 I remember you talking about how Wentz steps up in big games compared to Dak. Yikes what a stupid comment

Wentz by request https://t.co/WsnvuJhKf0

Dak's only poor efficiency game came in bad weather against a great defense https://t.co/DmxrxUC2Wc

Eagles will absolutely stack the box and take Zeke out of game if they want. But that would put alot of pressure on their marginal CB but that might be offset by Dak shoulder. I think Eagles make Dak & his questionable shoulder beat them. Zeke will look like he is running into stone wall for 4 quarters.

And that’s exactly what Moore is hoping for.

Yep if the eagles are stupid enough to do that, the better. Zeke makes very little difference anyways.

after his injury to his shoulder against LA last week.

So it would seem wise to get Cooper Rush ready to play incase Dak has to come out.

Not sure Dak can do it and be effective.

Does this new info change anything for you guys?

if we somehow get down because of poor defense or offense isnt moving the ball and we have to abandon the run, it will be interesting to see how long dak will be ineffective, if at all, before they put in Rush..we cant allow a player whos injured to just play all game and not being effective..this is for the NFCE title.. will Garett and KM pull Dak , if so when ..?

That sir..

is the $64,000 question.

When and how long before Dak needs help from the bench to bring Rush in?

Knowing this HC he will wait until its 21 pts. down and 8 minutes to go and one challenge flag left in his pocket.

dak will be ok physically. But much like last game if this makes Dak want to forego throwing the ball even when he receives a good look that works to our advantage.

Cooper ran with the "ones" a lot this week, just in case.
But everyone seems to think that would be in an absolute emergency--just covering their bases.

They found the formula. Avoid Prescott passing.

Dak only attempted 7 passes
