Mike finally opened the playbook and turned the page back to more of what KM was running. We saw mikes offense the first 6 games and it was terrible. This is a good example of how the offense needs to look and hopefully it helps open things up for the ground game.

Definitely his best game of the year.

I will take a more aggressive Prescott - even if it leads to more turnovers - if more trips to the red zone and more TDs also result from it.

I don't know if it was necessarily going back to what Moore was running or just noticing that Dak's progressions were taking him to the short route too often. It's not like we weren't running deeper routes. We just weren't throwing them because the read was taking us underneath to get the ball out quickly. There has to be a balance.

this is what I was waiting for. I kept thinking the stats were padding because he was dinking and dunking. This is the first game where I think he let lose and it paid off.

Agreed there has to be a balance but whatever they were coaching Dak to do, dump off the ball and let the skill guy get more yards wasn't working. I don't recall a 6 game stretch of this going on before and things were clearly different yesterday. I haven't verifies but heard they went back to using a little more motion and some other things Dak was used too. Whatever it is that made Dak look way more comfortable than he has looked all season needs to continue and expand on it. All 3 phases made contributions to the win, was a great game.
