Yikes on the offensive side our oline and coaching was terrible this game. Deep 2 man route on 3rd and 1 and Dak still gets sacked pretty fast.

BTW I bet if u hit Mahomes, Brady, or Aron Rodgers like they hit Dak at 13:05 that person would of be ejected from the game.
Well, Dak is not like any of them, so what is your point?

Lol when the offense balled for 5 weeks it was Dak MVP! They have a bad game and it's blame the system
Almost as ridiculous as looking at one bad Dak game since October and thinking he is bad. Let's toss out the 12 great games as if they didn't happen.

All depends on the narrative I guess.

Let's be honest, the streak of eight games in which Dak had a 22-2 touchdown to pick ratio is really what pissed you off. :grin:

in 4,3,2,1,,,, one of those new gen kids will sound off about their feelings.

Chase brought up the same thing I created another thread on the other day. The offense is stagnant and doesn't use a lot of pre-snap motion when they are on the road.

It shows.
Agree. I've been mentioning the lack of motion in away games since last year. They did it in San Fran. They need to work on penalties, and work out a silent count scheme, and INCREASE motion on the road, not decrease.

That would help the run game, as well, especially if you motion your WRs and TEs around and get them involved in the run game.

@16:13, you have Cooks in the corner..and Lamb open @ 17:20..

Honestly, watching this tape helps me see that Steele was a liability again. My boy Bass had a pretty good game, though.
You're seeing the receivers get open at certain times, but what is Dak doing? Does he have a clean pocket or is he under duress? Plus, what are Dak's progressions? Maybe by the time he passed a certain receiver (who was covered), the receiver got open after Dak moved his eyes to another receiver?

Yeah, it's tough to anticipate, so I'm not blaming Dak. I'm just pointing out that the WRs did their job. I definitely see penetration. So, to answer your question, no, he doesn't have a pocket. But I wasn't blaming Dak. Just pointing out that our skill guys were open.

Let's be even more honest. Who cares if a guy in an ant eater suit is angry or not. He's wearing an ant eater suit.

I kid.

So wait a second. When they're winning it's "Dak MVP"? But when they're losing it's the stagnant offense.

Sheesh, we're up to this again now, huh?
Lol...I didn't say that my friend. I just mentioned the lack of pre-snap motion in our loss to the Bills and then noticed it was a trend on the road.

As you mentioned above, presnap motion is primarily used to tip the QB to the defensive scheme being used.

Then Dak would seem to be at a disadvantage compared to those other QBs since Dallas is generally in the lower half of the league (32nd this year) in presnap motion. Most of those other QB's teams are in the top 10 in the league in that category.

But I'm sure, with the last 5 weeks you've spent doing mental gymnastics in your basement, you have an explanation (excuse) as to why those QBs haven't been able to take advantage of this and far exceed the performance of this horrible, 4th round QB.
What are you on? The first 9 games they were 15th in the league in pre-snap usage and since 9th, they threw more than any other team in the league.

Through eight games, the Cowboys ranked 21st in the NFL in deep pass percentage (according to Pro Football Focus), attacking downfield (air yards of at least 20 yards) on just 11.2 percent of dropbacks. Now? That ranking is all the way up in the top five. Since the Week 9 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field, the Cowboys have thrown 41 passes that have traveled at least 20 yards in the air. That's eight more than the second-highest number during that time (the Tennessee Titans). That aggression is paying off, with Prescott throwing four touchdowns on those passes (second highest in the league).
While Dallas has generally been more aggressive downfield with its pass game, the biggest schematic changes on film are with the amount of pre-snap motion they use and the number of Empty sets they deploy.
Before the game in Week 9, the Cowboys were smack in the middle of the pack in the NFL with how much pre-snap motion they used (54.5 percent, ranked 15th in the league at that point). From Week 9 on? They've thrown more passes preceded by motion (125) than any team in football. They're third in the league in EPA per play when they use motion, so they're really good at it as well.

You didn't go down in your basement and research this? I was mostly screwing with you.

But as usual, you picked a limited portion of the actual season to fit your anti-Dak narrative. Middle of the pack for first 9 weeks??? While those other QBs mentioned are top of the league in presnap motion.

And I suppose you stopped watching after Dallas started winning. But if you don't watch enough NFL football to see Dallas runs an offense devoid of any significant presnap motion, that's on you.
