Twitter: Broaddus: more wide open attack helps Dak more than pocket passer

Seems obvious to me, but a lot about this offense has seemed obvious for a long time.

 

[CATCH17]

Duh.

Tell that to Jason and Scotty though.

Prescott has to be Aikman for them.

Doesn’t matter if he continues to miss wide open receivers.

 

[ghosttown cowboy]

If they want a pocket passer, why didn't they draft a pocket passer?

 

[big dog cowboy]

We already know that. The Cowboys have always moved the ball much easier with a wide open offense under Dak. This isn't exactly breaking news.

Tony too.

Letting the QB just play football outside of their system has always been more effective then them going through reads and finding the open guy.

I always want to pull my hair out when the offense is sputtering and they are still playing lethargic football and letting the playclock get to 1 before snapping.

I can understand it if the defense has been on the field for too long but change the pace of the game. Don't be extreme either way.

It's kind of like the multiple RB dilemma we've always had. Can't figure out how to play 2 RBs in the same series.

Dak historically has been more accurate when he is outside the pocket.

I know he missed that pass to Jarwin. That is a throw he has to make. But generally speaking Dak has made many more plays outside the pocket than inside. The coaches need to realize this and use it to his advantage.

They also need to go up tempo on occasion. Try to keep the defense on their heels.

Apparently Garrett has also lost this broaddus guy .

Well... They ran the first down bootleg so much that teams just sit on it now.

They would have to use some designed roll outs with slide protection I guess.

Romo had issues too when JG tried to make him into Tom Brady. Now Dak is being ask to be Aikman.
JG needs to told he isn't Bellichic or Jimmy Johnson.

Funny thing about that play, if take time to set his feet, it's a completion. He had plenty of time......

Nobody is asking him to be Aikman. Enough of the drama.

They are just asking him to make basic reads and throws and he is not able to do it.

So that's the point of the thread.. Spread it out and don't be so... Basic...


He's shown he can do the basic stuff in the past but he's struggling so get him back in the groove and get the ground game going and make it 3rd and manageable and he'll start having the confidence to make those plays.

If a QB is going to be successful in this league, they have to be capable of being a pocket passer. That doesn't mean you can't move them some, take advantage of their athletic ability, but QB play begins and ends with the pocket.

 

[Hawkeye19]

It is the stubborn commitment to multiple TE set and shotgun formations that is hurting us. IMO— more straight power runs and play action from under center will set up waggles and boots.

When we go to shotgun on short down and distances— we become predictable. We simply need to re-establish a power running identity— that is hard to do when you default to a shotgun formation the majority of your snaps

 

[birdwells1]

At some point all qbs will have to throw from the pocket, that's like saying that a wrs best asset is blocking at some point he will have to catch a ball. You can only roll out a certain amount of times (although Dak pretty much turn every play into a roll out).

Dak is successful on 1st read open, roll outs (so he only has to read half of the field) and broken plays where the wr just get open.

You don't make him a good pocket passer by taking away his strengths. Thats just bad coaching.

 

[percyhoward]

I know I sound like a broken record, but after 8 weeks of 2017, Dak was among the top 10 in passer rating from the pocket. When he gets consistent pressure in the game, he's terrible -- inside or outside the pocket, whether pressured on the play or not. His problem (and by extension, the team's problem) is that he becomes obsessed with the pass rush and starts feeling pressure that isn't there. Keep him clean in the first half and he's pretty good-to-great for the game.

That's been his m.o. going back at least to his college days.
