Video: Chris Simms says Dak has New Throwing Motion

[Cowpolk]

Yes I noted that in the OP...10 seconds after the post. There was no way to fix the title, though.

I think you can fix it with full edit

 

[Pass2Run]

You're correct. It's Chris Simms (Phil's son).

I used to hate this guy. Mostly because he got the undeserved start over another football brain who had much more talent as a player. Major Applewhite.

The offense looks nothing what Linehan and Garret have been doing for years, and it obviously suits Dak better. If mechanics are helping him make better throws, great. But having wrs open all over the field also helps.

Confidence in your team, scheme and coaches have a lot to do with it too. He's just playing like he knows what he's doing and exactly where to throw it, at exactly the right time.

I suspect the improvement on timing is from Kellen Moore's coaching and schemes.

I can't even remember any established QB making a change of their throwing motion years into playing.. Maybe Jake Plummer or Mike Vick?

Extension of better footwork

I thought I was watching the 1999 Rams out there against the Giants. I was not a proponent of Moore b/c it rarely works out when folks skip the coaching tree and don't pay their dues. But, I know what I saw was loads better than what I was previously watching in this offense. It will be interesting to see which defense figures out this offense first and how Moore adjusts. Thats the true test of a coach.

 

[Pass2Run]

Oh my gosh.

Chris Simms is awful at this job.

Awful.

I honestly thought it was just his footwork that changed his what his throws looked up top.

Hello Chris Sims that's how everyone throws the RPO's. It takes a QB too long to do a full wind up, so everyone side arms it.

You've taught me nothing. Nothing, I say nothing.

 

[Pass2Run]

I honestly thought it was just his footwork that changed his what his throws looked up top.

No, the difference in how fast he's getting it out has vastly improved from last year.

Dak is getting the ball out like a second or more quicker, I'd say.

 

[Screw The Hall]

It is Chris Simms. I really enjoy his commentary, he always seems knowledgeable and his opinions are typically well thought out.

Hoping he gets his own show instead of been saddled with Florio.

I completely agree with you. Chris gives top notch analysis on the regular.

 

[Rockport]

Yep, it's a lot quicker release too.

Like a lot quicker this year.

There's only one conclusion to make here: Although already good, Dak is still evolving and putting in the necessary work. And doing it with a winner's mindset.

The players like playing for Dak. You can see it.

Just like us Dak fans have been saying would happen all along.

I think in the video someone had posted of Kitna this past January, he said he changed his throwing style, thanks to his coach, Mike Martz, IIRC.

 

[Runwildboys]

Just like us Dak fans have been saying would happen all along.

And like many of us critics (who many call haters) have been hoping would happen.

 

[Whyjerry]

That's not Phil.

Certainly isn’t. Chris is a major azz hat.

 

[ghst187]

The change was that he was throwing it into the WRs arms in the red zone for TDs!

 

[Whyjerry]

Who cares what the lead singer of Styx thinks?

Domo Arigato...

Yea his footwork would help him get the ball out quicker and it is also what both he and Kitna said he was working on all offseason and never said anything about changing his throwing motion. And his release is not a full second quicker.

 

[ejthedj]

More than the motion is the footwork and base. Dak is keeping his feet on the ground instead of bailing with his legs

Every QB side arms a RPO's throw. Dak just started throwing RPO's. Chris is selling snake oil.
