Dak Prescott hasn’t figured out how to use Dez Bryant

[Gameover]

Nor has the offensive coaching staff. The money routes for Dez are slants, deep posts, or flags, fade routes, (but the ball has to be thrown accurately or at least give Dez a chance ) crossing patterns, curls and come backs. Dez is not an explosive receiver he is a powerful receiver a chain mover, he will never be wide open on routes so you have to throw him open or put it where only he can get it or no one gets it at all. he is just like Irvin was, Irvin was never wide open he and Troy developed an chemistry like Dez and Romo did thru hours of practicing after and before practice.

Pretty good coverage here but he still had a slight step on the defender:


Romo making Dez better:

Nobody throws that directional pass quite like Romo. Dez might learn that one day!

 

[CowboyRoy]

romo alluded to this in the chiefs game. And right now without zeke and no dez Potential for explosive plays our offense just has to be perfect to march down the field.

Dez Bryant is a joke. None of these guys go deep. Most cant beat single coverage. Double Witten and Beasley and its over.

LOL...........3 years ago. Dez is a shodow of himself. But yah, Dak doesnt feel comfortable throwing to a guy that cant get open. I dont blame him.

Can't expect a 2nd year QB to figure out how to use offensive players when the coaching staff doesn't know how either. Garrett's offense allows for zero flexibility.

Amen to that! Dez has never been used to his highest potential here. Dak is in his 2nd year back off chicken Little's...

 

[Philmonroe]

I don't know. I don't see the jump ball explosiveness or ability to come down with tough grabs at all anymore from Dez. I think he's been sapped of most of his athletic ability following the injuries. He never was great at getting separation but his explosiveness and great hands and leaping ability more than made up for it. I don't see those qualities out of him anymore.

I don't think Dez is as good as before but I can't help but notice how bad he's been since Dak got here so that's why I put more on Dak esp knowing he isn't the most accurate down field.

Wrong.

That's your opinion which I don't give a expletive about for future reference.

Romo never figured how to win past Thanksgiving.
It is the ineptness of the coaches. It's not on Dak.

 

[Verdict]

Dak isn't the problem here, it's 100% Dez. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about him much longer.

Ready to move on?

Why have a receiver who you have to throw it to him covered up. That should be self evident.

The Dez numbers were declining before Dak.

Dak's stats to all other receivers are not a problem.

I study the game film and Film Don't Lie.

 

[erod]

Tony Romo made Dez Bryant something he never was.

Romo did that with LOTS of receivers.

Never said they weren't declining. I think Dak isn't good in getting Dez the ball. The other receivers don't have the same skill set as Dez with regards to jump balls. Unless you have some actual known credibility your watching of game film is just like the rest of people with gamepass to me. If you study the film so much you should be on someone's team instead of on here. Since you're just a regular guy with gamepass it means but so much but you're free to disagree.

I said it all year that without Zeke we have no playmakers. People scoffed and said anyone can run behind this line.....look at what Ramsey is doing......Zeke is our only playmaker folks. Our WR's suck. The sooner you accept it the better you will be.

 

[DIAF]

Dez's injuries have slowed him down, Dak doesn't throw the intermediate to long passes that well, inconsistent mechanics leading to bad passes, its a variety of reasons why dak and dez don't connect. Dak is at his best when he's dinking and dunking unfortunately.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

The simpletons on the board will never realize Dak simply isnt the passer Romo was. His understanding of defenses, coverages an how to throw a receiver open is not something Dak’s shown at the same level at this point.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Did you notice how on 1 INT Dak threw into the open area in a zone but Dez was not in the open area?

You mean the play Dez was calling for the ball and Dak overthrew him?

Yeah, you’re fundamentally flawed.

 

[Proof]

Did you notice how on 1 INT Dak threw into the open area in a zone but Dez was not in the open area?

Did you notice how he threw the ball ten feet over Beasley and In the dirt to Dez?

 

[DOUBLE WING]

I remember when people used to say Romo didn't know how to use Dez right. That Kitna got better results from Dez than Romo could.

Good ol' days.

 

[HungryLion]

The Dak to Dez connection was strong the second half of last year.

Had great games against the steelers, Bucs, eagles, lions, (ok against the Vikings) and the packers in the playoffs.

But something is off this year.

Dak's stats to all other receivers are not a problem.

Complete BS without context.

Quick. Name the QB he played with in 2015.

The only thing your “film study” has provided is comedy relief to those who are actually informed.

What does Ramsey have to do with anything? He’s also a cog in a machine. A great piece on a talented defense. As far as zeke being our only playmaker, he’s certainly our most talented but again what if we had to watch him with our back up qb and Chaz/Byron rolling out the red carpet.
