Dak and his legs

[sjmike]

I think an overlooked part of the Cowboys offense in the playoffs is Dak's ability to get out of trouble by running with the football. Hasn't done it too much this year until recently. He said that he was saving that for when the games really matter rather than risk an injury early in the season. I see a few rollouts and naked bootlegs to take advantage of the Niners pass rush. What say you??

I’m hoping they’ve been saving his legs for the post season….

I think there should be a couple designed running plays for Dak early in the game. Have to let SF know he’s willing and able to get outside the pocket and run to slow down their pass rush. I really think Pollard and Jarwin are the X factors.

A belly option seems like a great choice.

This offense was at its best the first 6 or so games prior to his calf injury when he was running RPO, and using his legs more often. He didn't wait or was hesitant to run as he is now. He needs to open it up again and put pressure on the niners' defense by showing he will run it too.

We need to run QB Option / QB Draw more often, and not just near the end zone. Also on regular first and 10's, 2nd and medium, third and short. Make it a regular play in the playbook.

ewww.

I am predicting 150+ rushing yards for the Boys with Dak getting at least 40 of them

You can never go wrong with a good 32 belly option. Lol!

RPO would be nice especially against a light box.

But he ain't got no legs, Lt. Dan.

 

[Kevinicus]

His legs are way overrated by people here.

He's okay and can make a few plays, but he's slow to get going and not quick in the pocket.

This is true, but if he can pick up a couple of key 1st downs taking what runs are given to him.....it helps.

 

[Techsass]

It's an option that we abandoned. I think it was definitely drummed into Dak's head not to run after the calf injury.

We're starting to see it again, but still on a limited basis. Hopefully they'll open it up even further, but Dak needs to be smart about it & avoid risking injury just for yardage.

Yep. It adds a extra person to defend and the risk/reward calculation says it’s the right time to do it if he still has it.

Prescott will rush for over 100 yards.

 

[Havic]

Dak is not a pocket passer, he needs to be able to move around and extend plays.

Planned RPOs would probably help his game if nothing else than to make the defense respect it, but the spontaneous runs are typically disaster because he always takes off about 5 seconds too late. Fix the timing and it should be good for some first downs.
