Video: Dak's first pick of training camp

[cowboys5xsbs]

I mean it’s Lamb, Cooks, Gallup and Tolbert as locks. And Turpin is our return guy. He may be fighting 4 or 5 guys for one spot.

Is Tolbert a lock?

 

[Buzzbait]

How do you make that pass more catchable? That's a routine pass that you catch in pee wee football...how could he have made that pass easier for a professional receiver to catch?

If the ball hadn't hit him on the hands 1st, it would've hit him on the numbers, BUT........Dak could've made it more catchable if he had put super glue on the ball........

 

[Buzzbait]

The start of training camp generally means the end of the off season madness.

Nope!

There's no end to the madness. Ever. LOL

Is Tolbert a lock?

I think his draft status makes him a lock. I can’t see them cutting him after a year.

Every INT, drop, fumble, stumble, sack, bad read, or ANY OTHER natural act that doesn’t result in a TD, fame or fortune will be over analyzed, condemned and lamented. The overreaction will occur on an epic scale, and the perpetually miserable will stroke out here.

At full speed it looks like an average-thrown ball (a bit into his body, not leading him to accelerate), but you can ALMOST see in the 50% slowed clip what i thiunk the real problem is. I slowed it down further to 10% speed.....and that's when you can REALLY see what these receivers are dealing with: the ball comes out of his hand like a wounded duck doing the backstroke.

Tight spirals...ball placement....PACE.... these are the unseen variables that make a big difference in catchability.

Something tells me you were the kid who was afraid of the football when it was thrown to you.

You know it brother.

I don't think he ever was a QB or a WR.

 

[TheCritic]

He needs to learn to throw a more catchable ball.

When all or ur receivers are having balls bounce off their hands....maybe it's YOU...not them.

Just a theory.

I don't want to stir up any negativity through...so as a preface, please don't even read this post.

LOL
1. Catchable ball = Dak needs to make it MORE catchable!
2. On the money = Dak needs to throw it MORE on the money!
3. Receiver flubs the ball = Dak was the one who threw it to him, therefore it's Dak's fault!

Did I miss anything?

 

[phildadon86]

Frankly, I'd have stopped practice, if I were Mike, right at that spot and gave that warning to the bubble WRs. The WRs need to understand that the basic function of a WR is to catch the ball. That was a pass that a high school player should catch, much less a pro.

That’s going to hurt the players feelings though. It’s 2023. Can’t be doing that.

 

[phildadon86]

I don’t think he’s ever played an organized sport in his life.

Well, maybe they should be catching the ball

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Glad he's cutting these down this season.
Lol

Well, there's only so much Dak can do with passes like that. The WR has to catch that.

Good grief YES.

Im no Dak apologist. I do believe he has accuracy issues. But I coulda caught that with one eye tied behind my back!

Oh, there a couple who track preseason QBR and get this practice stats and QBR

Just too funny

@khiladi

 

[glimmerman]

Can’t wait for the second one. This wasn’t on him. More of a Simi drop. Nice concentration from draft pick.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

That ball has to be an inch lower, two more inches out front and about a 1/2 mph less velocity. Get it together Dak!

You couldn't be more wrong. The ball had to be 1 3/4 out front.....that's due to his accuracy issues

So Semi, hendershot and round all of them being 3rd, 4th, 6th WRs on the team can't make plays and it's QBs fault.

God forbid we expect WRs make a play. They are not in the NFL so we shouldn't expect it from them.
