Dak needs to run more

[haleyrules]

He can run a little more..but to be truly success in the NFL He must become a great pocket passer.

Yup. If he wants to stay in the league 10 years +.

Exactly the only place he should be running by design is in the redzone where the run pass and read option are lethal.

He just needs to play smart. So far, he's been very good on when to continue to look downfield or tuck it and run

Hard to believe we score more TD per drive than 30 other teams, and our RB have exactly 2 red zone rushing TD.

Wouldn't have anything to do with our game-managing, sophomore slump having QB playing at an MVP level would it?

Sounds like Dak is carrying the team but the defense is crippling it.

Dak definetly needs to run more. It's not a bad thing, you need to keep the defense honest. One of the reason cam tore it up in his mvp year. But he doesn't have to go all cam on us.. he needs to run like Rodgers. He'll run when it's there and doesn't think twice.

 

[cowboy_ron]

No he doesn't.

 

[DandyDon52]

I think there's more chance of dak getting hurt on design Run Place so I prefer him just taking off when he sees an open area to run to and then sliding or out of town

Has to have the total game

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

No he doesn't.

Yep and if he gets hurt running the coaches will get blasted for it. lol

Well put indeed SIR !!!

 

[hutch1254]

How about less running and more feet planted / balanced throws. Pocket passing with escapability is the sauce.

 

[cowboy_ron]

I agree but only because it means he'll get hit more.

AAAAnd, you're still trying to make people believe you're really a Cowboys fan?

 

[Verdict]

I said the same thing a couple weeks ago most people think he would get hurt but I would like to see him drop back and if something opens up just take off and run and that would help alleviate the pressure on him in the pass rush

About 6 runs per game would be enough to change the dynamic.
