Dak comments on GB defense

[rnr_honeybadger]

Was sure to get a cap made that said “Here we go” and make his entry into Cowboys stadium with it on. You think the kids on Africa got the shipment yet of all the unwanted gear?

Looks like the new apparel for African warlords will include a beanie with the words "HERE WE GOOOO" on it.

The sad reality is the Packers are a middle of the road defense with a banged up secondary and the Cowboys could not get anything going against them until garbage time. Why not go back to the three steps, plant and throw passing attack? Dak was not comfortable and feeling the pressure (in his head) of the big moment he was in. The offense should have went more robotic where he didn't have to think too much to start the game.

Basically when the game is over and the defense goes into prevent the losing choker shines.

100% true, anyone who doesn't see this point of view is just insane at this point.

Basically, if you take away CeeDee, the offense implodes.

Dak took away Lamb when he flat out missed the slant on the first possession.
Lamb had miles to run but skittish, hyped up, wide eyed Dak flat out missed him.
Then we punt, already down by 7

The problem is, and still remains, Jerry Jones, the GM that put this team together. Jerry is a stubborn old goat, who hates to admit he was wrong. How many years did it take for Jerry to move on from his head coach in training. Jason Garrett. Which begs the question....how many years will it take for JJ to move on from Dak???

I wonder what McClay thinks about dak.....

He is as dumb as he looks.....that is basic zone defense. Give you a pre-snap look and then go into another. Any third string QB would know that too.. he has no clue reading defenses. If his primary receiver is covered...game over. And he says when they got it going, LOL....that is when GB went prevent and up by 30, and were GIVING him those yards. Amazing.

The guy you want to hitch your $60m wagon up with folks. and in his 8th season..LOL....

Not only is he limited in arm talent but he doesn't have true command of the offense. A competent franchise qb understands HOW to counter most defensive schemes. When LB's buzz underneath & safties are playing deep, you're supposed to consistently send your OL & RB's downhill and FORCE the coverages that give you the advantage.

But, but the Stat Bandito threw for 400 yards. LOL

With the game in hand AFTER the 1st QTR, GB took a page out of Quinnie's prevent defense page that allowed the TOAD HUNTER to gig his way to those 400 yds. LOL

 

[Blitzen]

Right. They grow on trees. I'll stick with my opinion.

Brock Purdy is not some diamond in the rough. Baker Mayfield is serviceable given the right conditions. Same with Joe Flacco. Same with Jimmy Garropolo. Same with Geno Smith. Same with Alex Smith. Same with Jalen Hurts.

Maybe-it really is more about the team than just the QB. Considering there are several others playing on each down. There are maybe 1-3 elite real difference making QB’s in the league any given year (and even they need some help). There are probably 30-50 guys if given the opportunity with the correct club that can put up good seasons and win a bunch of games. We don’t get to see them because there are only about 6-8 clubs with really good rosters any season (maybe 2-4 with elite rosters of these).

 

[beware_d-ware]

In other words, they were outcoached, outschemed, and outplayed.

This is an interesting breakdown of what the Packers did and how they were ready for certain plays that Dallas runs quite a bit. Clearly Big Mike had tendencies they picked up on and exploited.

Great video. Looks like the Packers defense had their number.

 

[BBGTYCOON]

C'mon Dak, what made you think, they were going to make it easy for you?

MM and him should have known this. Its not rocket science.

If im a coach you think of infinite ways of them trying to beat you, and prepare.

It doesn't have to. But this is why you have to have more than 1 receiver. Look at the Eagles last night missing Brown.

I'll say it again, as much as I love CeeDee, the offense is better when they spread the ball around and Dak finds the open man.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

There was something very strange going on with Dak and Lamb all game long. Even after one offensive series Lamb was going off on the sidelines about something and I never, ever saw him do that in the four years he's been here. First he was in McCarthy's face and then in Dak's.

Just a strange game on all fronts on both sides of the ball. It's like the Cowboys said "let's forget everything we did all year that worked and do this instead".

Draw your own conclusions from that because my theory would start a totally different debate.

Prescott is better than all of those QBs you mentioned.

I really feel for you guys when he isnt shown the door. This is Jerry here you think hes going to pull the plug on dak? He will be here next year without a doubt and I dont care if he is or isnt but this jerry have you not learned anything? He is loyal to a fault to his players and coaches kept Witten too long,Romo too long,Garrett to long and hell keep dak too long especially cause Dak has a difficult contract. And dak will keep us competitive and fail again but hes not the only culprit.

He doesnt fail alone

Yeah keep making excuses why Dak blows and will never be the guy . My guess the Culprit is the dog who **** on your kitchen floor . Is his name Dak >?

 

[HonoluluCowboy]

I mean he's not wrong..the backups weren't int here in the 2nd quarter and that's when the offense started moving somewhat. But yeah the prevent defense certainly helped.

you mean when Dak threw the pick 6 ?

CMon Tad ,come up with a better line of defense

 

[links18]

Everyone said feed CeeDee. That's fine, until they take him away. Then Dak has to adjust and not lock in in him, but instead he stares him down.

 

[loublue22]

It's so embarrassing that he would act like all those garbage time yards mean anything, what a complete fraud.

What are you talking about?

 

[noshame]

Its not even that. Its the offense. You can't run a respectable offense with no run game. McCarthy knew this. He went into this season wanting to emphasize the run. But then the run game sucked and it was back to what we do.

You can't have a respectable run game without a offensive line coach, who was handpicked by McCarthy.
Besides McCarthy is a old school WCO guy who believes a short pass game is better than a running game.
