Twitter: BTB's Girls Talkin Boys: Dak has been working out regularly with Jon Kitna this 2020 offseason

[America's Cowboy]

Dak has continued to work QB mechanics with ex-QBs Coach Jon Kitna this 2020 offseason, even though Jon Kitna is no longer coaching with the Dallas Cowboys.



We all saw the big improvement in mechanics, command and passing Dak took from 2018 to 2019 thanks to the help of Jon Kitna. Now, Dak is back on his own continuing to receive Jon Kitna's training help.
Is this great news or what!?!?

What say you?

It certainly can’t hurt.

 

[Corso]

Many won't care, some will.
In the End, it doesn't matter to most until the most elusive prize in the NFL is gained by the only player on the team: Dak.

 

[jazzcat22]

Are they simulating passes from the new playbook?

 

[Idgit]

Is this because he’s staying away from the team’s resources while not under contract? Must be, right!

 

[Clove]

Don't know why we're surprised. Dak has been and is a competitor. He's constantly trying to get better and things implied by outsiders is deafening to him. In other words, he's not listening to all the trash spewed by hate. He knew how valuable Kitna was to his development so he continues to use him.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

With the current situation, I think it is a smart move by Dak. Certainly can’t hurt.

McCarthy made a mistake by not retaining Kitna.

Kitna is a huge influence on Dak and obviously gained his trust because what he was teaching worked.

Every player is working out somewhere with someone to stay in shape since there were no OTAs or mini camp.

Total non-story.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

No surprise at all.......in fact, wouldn't be surprised if they're even closer now than before Kitna was fired. Not to mention there's a ton of respect for each other.

 

[charron]

Any player who takes it upon himself to improve in any aspect of his game should be applauded as a good thing.

 

[starfan1]

Probably the precise reason he hasn’t reached out to CeeDee lmao now it all makes sense

But he’s still working out with Zeke, no?

He showed some improvements, but its more the natural progression of a young QB that has the work ethic that Dak does. And the big leap was more about getting with an OC that opened up the passing game.

That may be, but then he probably wouldn't have been allowed to work out with Kitna in the off-season if McCarthy retained Kitna. I did find it odd that he didn't retain him given that Dak obviously improved under Kitna.

Yes. Not being able to work with Kitna is bad for Dak.

Oh wait. He's literally got the guy as his personal coach during a period he couldn't work with Moore or Nussmeier.

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is awesome news. Folks could be in for a surprise when they see Dak this year.

Perhaps you do not understand the significance of Dak's trust in Kitna. I would say this trust is something that a new HC should leverage and create better synergy with his starting QB.

Kitna could be immersing Dak in not just technique work right now but the intricacies of the new offense and verbiage that McCarthy will be installing.

I love it. Hated to see Kitna released, but if Dak is still working with him then win / win

Interesting. Kitna was the one coach I didn't feel great about showing the door. Dak improved last year. It was unclear how much Kitna was the reason for that, but Dak seems to have cast his vote that it was.

Kind of peculiar, is it not? Working out with the position coach the team just replaced? Probably feel a little off to McCarthy and the new QB coach. Bad juju.
