11 of Daks 15 INTS have been against zone coverage. Tampa Bay runs zone 63% of the time

[MountaineerCowboy]

I suspect Tampa will be running zone defense at a higher clip than 63% of the time Monday night.

Don’t you people have any good news this week?

 

[DripTooHard]

So he’s never seen zone coverage before this year?

 

[fivetwos]

If dudes like Brown and Hendershot can understand we aren’t playing volleyball in the pool, Dak ints should go down significantly.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

What percentage of the time was Dak facing zone coverage in general? The statistic in the OP is an interesting number, but needs context.

 

[817Gill]

He’s done well versus zone before as recently as a few games ago. Just gotta do it Monday.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Just means our WRs need to run crisp routes and find those openings. Run crisp routes to keep those defenders honest, then find the open spots...quickly.

Every single day. A Dak thread from Pappy or Mountaineer Cowboy. Downright scary.

Law of averages... Dak's already gotten all the INTS out of the way!

He also went 24 for 24 against the eagles zone on Xmas

that’s what you call an anomaly in Dak’s career. And most of them were really a product of Moore’s play-calling as they were short quick hitters in the middle. Even here you got 5 of those passed behind the LOS.

That being said, the throw on 3rd and 30 was a gift, because their CB let Hilton or whatever his name is run right by him, otherwise the game was over.

The difference between Dak this year and other years us guy is just throwing without looking. This is probably part of that “we want him to be aggressive” take by McCarthy. In previous years against zone, he’d play it extremely safe and just take the check downs.

more than one usually, he needs to learn about Kritzinger's story/warning

 

[nightrain]

17/23 - 275 yards - 3 TDs - 0 Int.

The only good news is Tampa is 8-9 and is coming off a loss to Atlanta. Other than that there’s nothing but discouraging news.

Cheese and crackers, guys. This is bumming me out.

Everything you said I believe to be spot on. On 3rd and 30, and even with safety help over the top, there is no reason to let the WR get past you.

That said, Dak has had good days against the zone. Dak's worse days have usually come against m2m with a guy or two in zone. The defense disguises this well and Dak just doesn't pick up on it. Denver last year is one example.
