Dak’s Night; How They Handled Ertz

[waving monkey]

FRISCO, Texas – A game like that requires multiple viewings – even more than the usual re-watch.

So much happened in the whacky fourth quarter and overtime alone that it’d be easy to lose track. And that doesn’t even do justice to the strong defensive play by the Cowboys in the early going of this 29-23 win.

That’s what I’m here for – to watch it back and find some further context on a crazy win. So here’s my tape review on the good, the bad and the strange in a memorable victory.

Let’s get into it:

· On the Randy Gregory sack, it appeared that Carson Wentz was attempting to set up a screen to Corey Clement -- but Jaylon Smith read the play perfectly. Smith was able to beat the block by Jason Kelce and put himself in position to cover Clement. It made Wentz hold that ball just a split second longer to give Gregory the opportunity to work around Jason Peters and capture Wentz from behind.

Good stuff. Yes. Kellen Moore needs to work with Dak and get his footwork corrected. Except he’s not qualified.

We need a QB coach with experience.

Unfortunately he is another one of these guys Jerry and Jason like, and will be over loyal to them.
They should have never kept him as QB coach, or should have brought someone in, and kept Moore as an assistant.

I have accepted the reality at this point that Garrett is back in 2019. They won't fire him now that he's made the playoffs.

But for the love of god, please get me a new OC and QB coach to work with Dak.

Romo didn’t need a Qb coach to teach him how to set his feet and throw

No Qb coach will ever be able to teach Dink and Dunk Dak pocket presence and how to throw the ball with accuracy. His poor mechanics and inaccuracy will always limit him.

But in the 4th quarter(clutch time)he had an 86% completion percentage and his dink and dunks averaged 12(twelve) YPA

That seems good.

It honestly doesn't make a lot of sense to have the QB coach be a the same guy that was beaten out for the job by the current QB.
