Dak jumping on the fumble - Leadership

[noshame]

Dak jumping on a fumble.....normal for a NFL Q B
Dak had 3 turnovers
Jumping on his own fumble prevented a 4th.
Yeah Dak!

Dak’s pass to Tolbert after a 15 play drive to basically run out the clock and scored the TD. That won the game but the play that showed the true Dak Prescott was when he recovered Dowdle’s fumble the play before. I’ve seen QB’s in a Super Bowl not jump on that ball. That’s called leadership.

No matter how bad you think he played, and 3 turnovers is bad, he never gave up and kept fighting. Can’t ask for anything more other than for the fans not to give up so easily.

That is a true element of team building. A strong coming together. A very strong element in sports.

Rock---i cant handle negativity anymore...i am 65...i know i dont have decades upon decades left....so we got to ignore Negative Nancy's.....they feel horrible and they want you to

feel horrible

Be content in respecting the sport and your team. Those elements are instructive for leadership for our youth. Their investment is worth the interest shown.

Dak put his crucial pass to Tolbert right on the money. It's fair to say it wasn't an easy one to execute.

Kudos to Tolbert to make it succeed, also. Let's hoping we'll manage to execute as well vs. the Lions.

Do we think Tolbert should be a 2 and Cooks the 3?

YES!!!!

Newsflash:

1. QBs sometimes fumble during sacks, especially when hit on two different sides. It isn’t considered a QB flaw. It’s part of the game for that position.
2. QBs throw INTs, especially when taking deep shots. Personally, I felt Tolbert pulled up for a jump ball instead of running through the catch where he could have caught it or prevented the INT by Porter who did not stop running.
3. The first INT in the corner was a very bad decision no matter what he thought he saw. That’s a fact! It was a bad INT, but guess what? Every QB to ever play in the NFL has thrown bad ints.

Until the end of the game, we had no run game, every play depended on Dak’s arm. That is a recipe for turnovers. Throwing over 40 passes is not good for any team. Dak moved the ball all game long from the first possession. Yes, he had turnovers, but drives also ended due to penalties, missed blocks, and a missed FG. Brian Anger punted only 1 time in this game which we won, thanks to a 70 yard, 15 play drive that began with 4:56 on the clock and ended with only 20 seconds left.

But so many so called fans only want to focus on the negatives. You are never happy with anything; complaining and negativity is just who you are. It’s really sad.

Great post Chuck.

What is this weird man-love because someone jumped on a fumble? That's every player's job.

Just because Cam was a little B about it in the Superbowl one time does not make this some kind of heroic act.

Dallas overcame 3 turn overs was it? Still won, on the road vs a hated rival.

I dont care how a fan does it, you love that victory. Ugly wins are still wins.

The questions or hypotheticals dont count, the only thing that counts is whats real. Dallas won. End of story.

most here said we had no chance, we win amd the narrative is the Steelers are crap

that surprises you they move the goal posts all the time man this is just how social media is that's how a lot of our fan base are some of these bad fans they're almost as bad as some of the fans from the other fan bases that are with our rivals they almost are unhappy that we came back and won the game 'cause they couldn't come in here and say I told you so

About 20% of 'fans' in here would rather lose and have Dak play bad so they can back up their agenda. It's gotten to be a very said place.
I have definite concerns about Dak, but I root for the team and him to do well.

Do you have the "Courage" to admit to a bunch of starngers on an internet forum that you fit in this 20%?..lol "Dont chicken out!" do i need to "Double
Dog" dare you to?..jesus some of you..

The Dak detractors who claim he’s a choker aren’t happy about the win because he ended up being the hero. He did what they claim he couldn’t do. The two biggest Dak bashers haven’t been around for a while, either because they got kicked out or aren’t happy that the team has won its last two games and he’s played well. There’s clearly fans that pull against Dak. There were several fans after the game continuing to bash him, focusing only on the bad plays he had. They didn’t want to talk about him falling on Dowdle’s fumble that saved the game and his TD pass on fourth down that won the game. It’s a pretty sad agenda some fans have here. This fan base has some awful fans or at least they claim their fans.

Don't you know that it has never been done in any football game ever. This the first time and Dak was the first player to ever attempt such a feat.

No wonder he got one vote for MVP and if he ever jumps on another one he might get two votes next time. Amazing I tell you....!

I have been very critical of Dak and I still do not think we should have resigned him. But he did well Sunday night. These are games that we lost in the past. But Dak showed up when it mattered and against a championship level defense. Maybe that is a sign of things to come, maybe it was just outlier type game since he has repeatly failed in that situation in his career. I was glad to see it. Now he needs to play better for the other 56 minutes of the game but that last 4 minutes was the best football I have seen out of this Cowboys team in a long time. They whole team showed some heart and grit, lets just hope it was not a one night only show.

 

[CCBoy]

The wideout confirmed what many lip-readers on social media had guessed: that he was reminding his quarterback to give him a “jump ball” next time, rather than the underthrown pass that was picked off in the end zone toward the end of the fist half. “Yeah, pretty much,” Lamb said. “The DB made a great play. We were on two different pages. I mean, he got a gift.”

That was the most important conversation in that game. It should have been from the lips of the head coach!

If he had played better we would not have needed to come back so frankly I do not think he deserves the praise the Dak Bots are ladling on him

Yea its really silly to make Dak some hero for jumping on a fumble. It was a great heads up play for sure. It was also the least he could do since he gave it away 3 times himself. But it was not "leadership". It was a guy playing football, if there are any of the 11 players on the field not willing to recover a fumble they should be cut on the spot. Heads up play that saved the game, sure. But he will not get a gold jacket for a fumble recovery.

I dunno. At that point I think he'd be a shoe in for the hall of fame after changing the game forever.

Normally I would agree with that. But one of the reasons I have been critical of Dak is he is not very mentally tough. When things go wrong, he tends to go into a shell. He actually battled through his mistakes and did what it took to win the game. He deserves some credit for that. Yes he absoutley needs to play better. But overcoming your own mistakes is a big step forward.

Not really where have you been leaders on this team and lamb is one of them he's a starter he has a right to communicate with his quarterback they will eventually meet with the offensive coordinator or the head coach but when this is happening in real time in life players communicate to each other these things oh damn do this and sometimes you have players I don't know like the quarterback change to play 'cause you don't like it and he didn't even ask the coach if he should change the play I'm not talking about an audible a flat out ignore what the coach called and make your own decision it happens you're allowed to do these things in the heat of a battle because wins and losses matter but having your relationship between your quarterback and your receiver is a natural thing they're gonna communicate all game including in the huddle we're not allowed in there but trust me hey they're talking. Sometimes they're saying hey if I pat my thigh when I look over at you is I want you to run a different route they have these things they talk about in practice they're trying to see the same thing and at this point lamb from what I understand admitted that it was supposed to be a comeback and he left that defender underneath him just like the interception in the Green Bay game with him going off script again he was supposed to finish coming across the field when Prescott let the ball go that's what he saw and instead he goes off script and heads up field it got picked off that pick 6 was on lamb...

But you don't hear your leader and Prescott come out and blame him for it he let the ball go he'll take the blame for it but communication happens all the time whether it's on the sidelines in the huddle or at practice they're trying to have some subtle understanding sometimes unsaid things and lamb sometimes or Prescott gets it wrong they thought maybe they should change and go off script because it looked like it was covered so he changes his route when he should not have and by the way I would love to see the effort from land to go break that up not staying there and watch it get picked off..

But I'm all for that we saw this happening with Terrell Owens Dez Bryant and Michael Irvin all the time getting passionate and all the time when they're talking to their quarterbacks their quarterbacks understand they might be being loud but they're just trying to convey what they're feeling at the time and what could have been done different and that's just on our team those are our players this happens all over the NFL...

It wasn't under thrown it was supposed to be a back shoulder come back towards the pylon and lamb decided that it wouldn't be open so he went off script again and went towards the back of the end zone he thought maybe Prescott would read that and throw the ball up for a jump ball but he broke his route off he never came back why do we know that because the one defender was never supposed to come underneath lamb let him come underneath he already admitted it people broke down the play that play should have been a back shoulder whether it was right or wrong but I saw a lamb not make an effort to go back and break it up he stood there watch it get picked up.. It wasn't under thrown it literally if you showing a back shoulder or a comeback towards the pylon that's where you toss the ball and you expect your receiver to go back and get it the receiver never came back to the pylon..

It was that unspoken miscommunication lamb went off script Prescott didn't realize it he didn't read lamb's posture and threw the ball into a spot where he thought lamb was supposed to go the play was called the back shoulder come back towards the pylon and he did not.... Look that's the type of thing though look at the film they'll get it better next time it's not a big deal though it's being made to be a big deal because they thought he was criticizing Prescott he wasn't it was a suggestion hey next time throw it up if I'm covered I got you
