There was a play two games ago or so. Dak got sacked and they showed the replay from the endzone. A WR (I believe Coop) was 1 on 1 running a slant about 15 yards down field. He had a step on his man. He wasn't wide open though.
A lot of NFL QB's would have tried that throw. Dak didn't and took the sack.
Dak doesn't give the ball away much. He doesn't go out and lose the game for you. Its one of his biggest pluses but he does so by not taking chances.
Now that Dallas can't run the ball, teams have figured out that they can just blanket the field with coverage and Dak won't throw it into tight coverage. The two issues are intertwined. If Dallas was dominating running the ball, teams would put 8 in the box and the WR's would have a lot more room to work and Dak would have bigger windows to throw into.
I really....REALLY wonder where these narratives come from.
Do you sit up at night and rub your two braincells together and poof....ridiculous football rationale?
Dak was, and i have looked lately, one of the best tight window throwers in the nfl.
From what i see, that is still the case because our wrs don't seem to get any separation.
So with all of that said, "Your takeaway is Dak is "scared" to throw into coverage?
