did you watch the play or just making stuff up? there were no other WRs in the endzone except for Cook. there were two WRs on the right, bunched within 5 yards, with 3 defenders around them, both not in the endzone.The game ending pick was very telling for Dak on how he see's the field. He didn't throw a fade to the corner of the endzone and the DB made a great play, he threw it blind into triple coverage on third down, not fourth down, third down.
Dak is lost and when the pressure is on it's really exaggerated. We all root for him and he has some good qualities but seeing the field or being clutch is not one of them.
there was cook running in the middle of the endzone (instead of the back of the endzone to create space). and then the TE (who cook ran behind him) was on the 2, with pollard hanging out at the 5 yard line on the left behind the TE.
nobody was wide out, they didn't spread the field.
and I don't disagree that Dak should have just thrown the ball away as opposed to threading a needle. but cook was the only option. the problem, it should have been Gallup or Lamb running that route. much taller and the WRs should have run at the back of the endzone to create space behind LB in the middle.
bad play design. bad execution. bad throw.
