Backshoulder throws

[CATCH17]

Where are they?

With all of the cover 1 & 3 defenses we see I would think it would be a staple in the offense.

Do they not trust Dak to make that throw?

Is there just not enough chemistry with the WR's on the roster?

 

[Bluefin]

I know it came up during the off-season and WR coach Sanjay Lal isn't a big fan of back shoulder throws.

It has a place in the scheme, but he prefers to focus on precise route running in order to get open.

I think right now, chemistry issues would make it scary.

They wanted to run Dez out, something he was great at. But I don't know if it's Dak's strength

This too...

Considering that Dak played @6 offensive series TOTAL in the 4 preseason games (0 in the last two), of course there’s not enough chemistry.

Most of the WRs are either rookies or new to the Boys and the #1-2 TEs rarely saw action while Witten was still playing.

It is what it is and, like it or not, it’s gonna take time.

 

[Vtwin]

We're still throwing them.

That missed TD pass to Rico would have been a perfect back shoulder pass to Dez in the corner of the endzone.

 

[Dallasfann]

Dez Bryant is no longer a Cowboy because Dak couldn't/can't throw that pass.

lol - i'll assume this was a tongue in cheek comment.

Wonder if it is still a big part of the offense because it is currently not a strong part of Dak's game? I recall it taking Romo 1-2 years to really develop that skillset.

 

[droopdog7]

You see less of them overall because defenses, and defenders, have caught up to them. That's how things work. Offenses innovate, defenses adjust, offenses innovate again.

 

[G2]

He's made the throws numerous times.

Apparently no one in the nfl can make that pass then if his logic holds any water...lol

 

[Bluefin]

Most of the WRs are either rookies or new to the Boys and the #1-2 TEs rarely saw action while Witten was still playing.

And Terrance Williams, one of the holdovers who has established chemistry with Dak Prescott, has barely played in the first two games.

Beasley was coming open on that play too.

 

[Zekeats]

We never should’ve cut Chaz Green.

Is Sanjay a QB coach or OC? Why would what he is or isnt a fan of dictate the type of plays we run

Obviously he doesn't dictate the plays we run, but because it's his receivers that have to run the patterns and catch the throws I'm sure he has some input.

Don’t exist anymore in dallas

We have no way of knowing how many are in the scheme itself. Dak has four, five possible targets on any pass play. And back shoulder passes are often just on-the-fly adjustments by QB/Receiver to the defense.

Back-shoulder passes are usually downfield throws and we’ve not yet had a lot of those.
