That's not what I asked you. Your post was a shot at Dez's athleticism and explosion.

Nobody who saw him juke Patterson out of his shoes and then bowl through 4 Cardinals defenders would say what you did unless they have an agenda.


You are blind, my friend. Homer glasses.

Dez and Dak are very clearly not on the same page. It's painful to watch any pass to Dez any more. Whats worse is most of the time they feel forced. I complained about that week one and 4 weeks later still do.

It's very disheartening. Forcing the ball to him and killing drives. It gets old.

More Dez hate



Get out with this nonsense



Watch the games.

Brice Butler is 6 for 150 and 2 TDs.

The sample size for stats is too small this early in the season.

Butler probably exceeds Dez if they give him as many opportunities.

I see Dez use power to get into the end zone. I don't see any juking. I don't see elusiveness. That video sort of proves my point
Observe Dez at the 8.

I really understand now. You don't know what you're seeing.

My apologies.

Explain how this years version of Julio Jones would have us undefeated right now, when he’s underperforming playing with the reigning MVP.



Id really like to hear this one

You didn't see him last week against the Cardinals? Are you watching the games?
They set up that one play to get Dez open. The Cowboys media people (Broaddus, etc) talked about how they designed that play specifically to get him open. He didn't really do much juking.

They wouldn't beat the Broncos regardless. Not in Denver. Even had the brought Romo back for that game.

When you expect your receiver to be one place and he's doing something else it kinda makes it hard to play QB. It's a guessing game for Dak on every drop back.

Dez Bryant is not only wildly inconsistent in the effort and tempo of his routes, he is equally inept at reading coverages and adjusting his routes during the play.

Not to mention he took himself out of the game on the final drive. Seriously? What other top WR would come out of the game for a breather in that situation? Your offense was going 3 and out for basically the entire 2nd half and you jog through half your routes anyway, how are you gassed?!

He's on pace for 164 targets and 800 yards this year though which is basically what he's been the last three years so at least he's consistently unproductive.

Simple. He draws true double-coverage which frees up other receivers. Dez is easily single-covered.
Right.

So we will rely on Twill and Beasley who havent had a 100 yard game in almost two seasons now, to win us games lol

Dez is running plenty of lazy routes, but i still think Witten is the one needing replacement. Teams have zero fear of him.

Dez had been replaced been replaced by a top 5 WR.

Like 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, all problems can be traced back to Dez underperforming.

At least 2 critical plays where the ball touched both of his hands and he failed to catch it. The problems are numerous.

His improper routes and mis-timed jumps make it appear to be Dak's fault but with slow motion you can see it's almost always a screw up by Dez.

If the #1 WR is easily single-covered, then other receivers will struggle. If receivers struggle then defenses load up against the run.

When the offense struggles, the very young defense struggles because they play too many snaps.

When the above happens, the coaches and players start pressing. When they press, the coaches don't force the punt retuner to fair catch like they did much of last season. The result is a turnover.

With Antonio Brown or Julio Jones the Cowboys could start buying the polish for their Super Bowl trophy and rings.


The defense will get better as the season progresses. They are super young.

The OL will start to jell as they have more time with the new players.

Any bad teams with a good WR in the last year of his contract?

Maybe when Rico returns he can be a spark plug on offense to overcome the Dez albatross.

It's sad that one player has likely doomed this team and it's the highest paid player.

My draft targets are shifting

I'm not talking about what the "media" says....a poster above just posted the video.....you don't see the corner that got his ankles broke?

Cool, he made a highlight play.

Now if only we could get that effort on the majority of his routes.
