Video: Chris Simms says Dak has New Throwing Motion

[JoeKing]

It's easier to anticipate throws when you're comfortable in the offense as well.

Linehan / Garrett did nothing to help Dak in the past to improve his game in that aspect.

So that's Kitna and Moore helping Dak with that?

I don't know what Kitna is doing but the play designs sure had the Giants confused.

We didn't have to rely on just out athleting the Giants.

 

[CouchCoach]

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

Hey, Phil would have said the same thing.

 

[Direwolf63]

This was a good start for Dak and the offense. Very encouraging.
But there will be sterner tests going forward. Maybe not in the next couple of weeks. But after that it will get tougher.
How will Dak and Moore react when things aren't going so well? After some 3 and outs? That's when we will see what this team is made of.
I think they will react well. But it's not always going to be smooth sailing like it was against the Giants. Stronger tests are coming. They need to be ready for it.

Tony Romo did quite a bit of work on his throwing motion I believe.

Yet he still couldn't get that golf club to land in the water right after a bogey.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that's why his first TD pass to Jarwin looked a little weird. He was so surprised and excited to see Jarwin wide open that he instinctively started to throw it the old "over the top" way. He caught himself right in the middle of the throw which is why the ball came out weird. Luckily it was a TD and after that he settled in and continued executing his new throwing motion/ foot work for the rest of the game.

Maybe, but, I thought I saw a Dlineman raising his arm for a block, and he hesitated until the passing lane opened. But his delivery, time-to-throw, and decisiveness are improving greatly.

I think he double-clutched because he couldn't believe how open he was and second-guessed whether or not he'd missed a defender somewhere. But either way, you're right that I think he was so surprised he almost missed that throw.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

No you won’t because you don’t have enough of a backbone to admit you’re wrong. You’re hoping and praying Dak fails so you can come here and spew your hate. Do us all a favor and stay away.

Getting nervous are we as Sunday is getting closer??? Don't worry man Dak got this one in the bag baby!!!!

 

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

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

A lot of the haters have said wouldn't\couldn't happen.

Dak said he lost his grip on the ball, Aikman even said the same thing.

 

[JW82]

Oh my gosh.

Chris Simms is awful at this job.

Awful.

Watching him demonstrate the throwing motion, hard to believe he ever threw a football, never mind made it to the NFL. But I think he is OK at his job, in spite of that.

 

[G2]

Shoots some of the theories that accuracy can't be improved out of the water.

 

[Jarv]

Absolutely it changed, one of the things I spoke about Dak in the past, the longer windup and how long it took to release the ball. Simms did a great job pointing that out.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

The true test will be when he actually has some pressure on him. He was the least pressured QB of week 1 and was never hit while throwing. Mechanics can revert when under duress

I said last year and during the offseason that dak's biggest problem is he liked to throw off of his back foot. when he would do that, his accuracy and strength of the throw seriously degraded, like they would for anyone. if you watch his motion now he's more stepping into his throws, which will increase both power on the throw and accuracy significantly.

Kitna helped.

 

[Darthkuriboh]

Kitna helped.

I'm ready to nominate Kitna for a gold jacket already as a coach

 

[Cap12]

No question his mechanics and approach have changed. No more "worm-burners" or "kite-balls". The ball is getting out faster. Even his mistakes are more accurate (and eminently more catchable). Yeah, there is room for improvement, but I must say that I love this new Dak. I'm finally confident that he can take the next step (instead of just hoping he will). I would say that his biggest detractors have less ammo now (especially when you look at a lot of young QBs in this league now).

I've never been nervous before a single game that Dak has started in. He's this decade's version of Joe Cool. Now Romo on the other hand...

 

[Silver Surfer]

And now it is a Paradise Theatre.
Carry On My Wayward Son, keep up the good work.

Thanks. I'm only sayin' what's on my mind.
