Broaddus's take on issues with Dez

[CrownCowboy]

He needs an accurate QB.


How people fail to see this, amazes me



This should be an easy pitch and catch

That's terrible......

 

[khiladi]

It's cause he lacks accuracy and if you miss on those throws the CB can make a play on the ball. His best route right now is the dig. He gets massive separation on it consistently.

Exactly.. I don’t know why people fail to see this. The go route is the easiest route to defend for a CB.. he has the sidelines to work with a straight line running. Expecting Dez to catch that consistently with this inaccurate QB and pro CBs is just absurd.

Like you said, they’ve started to call some more slants and digs for Dez and he gets massive separation and consistently catches them when the ball is thrown on those routes.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is the exact play I keep taking about. Linehan motioned Dez from the right to the slot and Dez best his man in a drag route, but Dak sailed it over his head. Dak homers blamed Linehan for calling a pass on first and if Dez didn’t make that spectacular one handed grab on the go route on the third down of this drive while being interferes with in actuality, the Dak homers would have blamed Dez for the failed drive.

He had plenty of space for RAC as well.

Just one play.........

 

[Rockport]

I agree but some of it is play calling and/or play design.......I would have a min, 5-8 ( in addition his normal targets ) plays per game that gets the ball in his hand. Plays no defense can stop.......

He doesn't get open on a consistent basis. All he's good for us the jump ball or back shoulder fade.

He didn't, otherwise that clown would have said specifically where he is hurt.

Didn’t he land awkwardly and tweek his knee right before 21’s suspension began?

The Cowboys added wide receiver Dez Bryant to their injury report with a knee injury. He was limited in practice Wednesday.

Bryant’s knee issue, though, isn’t a concern to the Cowboys as they expect him to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Just one play.........

You e got a whole library ofthose type of throws by Dak built on his poor pocket presence and awful technique because he ‘felt a rush’.. look at him in the back.. that’s a common criticism of him..

His INT was an awful pass too and sailed in front and high as well. Of course Dak homers blame Dez for his ‘alligator arms’ While ignoring the fact that Dak didn’t see Bowman drop back into that zone (poor read by Dak) and Dak set his WR to get a concussion all the while throwing it too far in front and high of Dez..

Dak's missed passes aren't the issue most are taking with Dez, though. Give the whataboutism a rest.

 

[CATCH17]

Dak is part of the problem.

Garrett is part of the problem.

Dez dropping balls is part of the problem as well.



Regardless.. We don't need an elite WR to function with Dak as our QB. We just need solid guys.

Invest in OL and maybe a stud TE. Positions we will put to use.

WR's with Dak and Garretts playbook are just a waste.

 

[khiladi]

He doesn't get open on a consistent basis. All he's good for us the jump ball or back shoulder fade.

And yet he’s pretty much unstoppable over the middle and has been. As I said, TWill go-route numbers just like Dez’s dropped dramatically in Dak’s first year and continues.. if it was Dez specifically then TWill after being top 3 with Dez in go routes with Romo wouldn’t have gone to 20 percentile, which is lower than Dez.

TWill effectively now is good for a coupe comeback routes and getting open when Dak escapes pressure and gets outside..

You mean Dak homers... every WRs numbers are dropping including Beasley.

 

[SDCowboy]

You seem to still be missing the issue. Dak has certainly had his own struggles, but that is not what most are complaining about when it comes to Dez or other WR's.

Lately our WR's have routinely been dropping balls that hit them square in the hands, or having balls sail through them. That is a WR problem. Period.

Yeah unstoppable like that alligator arm play against Oakland. If he is so unstoppable then why don't teams double cover him anymore huh?

I didn't think so. Lol @ "the clown."

 

[CowboyRoy]

Dez just isn't the same without an elite QB. He runs limited routes and has a very specific skill set. Unless he is used in just the right way, he becomes much more of a JAG. Until Dak develops and learns how to use him, this is what he is IMO. There could be some truth to the injury concerns, but we won't know that tell end of season, if at all. I believe another part of this is Dak's unwillingness to make some of the throws that Dez is elite at. These throws have much more risk, which goes against the very trait that made Dak so good last year, risk aversion.

Romo was never elite. Not by a long stretch. Dez cant run routes and is typically blanketed. Those are the main reasons he isnt doing well.

 

[khiladi]

You see how many drops Crabtree had in the game.. it didn’t stop Carr from using him in clutch time and consistently throwing to him..

 

[CowboyRoy]

Dez is going nowhere. He's had a down season but is still a very good WR. He's too valuable on the field and in the lockeroom to cut or trade. We could say he's making too much but that's the nature of the nfl before you know it his contract won't seem bad compared to what other guys make

Dez is done. Salary is waaaay overpaying him. No excuses for him this year. He hasnt missed a game and his numbers are still down.

 

[SDCowboy]

That was one game...Hardly the current trend we currently have going.

No, this is excluding Dak tendency to be inaccurate and having no rhythm with his WRs, because he can’t throw them open, like his pre-draft scouting reports affirmed.

Dez doesn’t even lead the league in drops.
