Is there a possibility that Dak speaks about things he can control over things he cannot?
He has the possibility controlling the offense. But he has little to do, other than run the clock out, in controlling the defense.
So when he says making the offense the best versus winning games, he is admitting, without slandering his defense, that he can only affect one side of the ball, and the coaches are in charge of the over-all game?
The rhetoric of players and coaches and management never truly reflects what they think. Only rarely when you see someone who cannot guard their emotions, will they lash out and spill the beans on something inside the team. Mostly what is reported to the press is football's version of Joseph Goebbels. Lots of blue sky and zero in depth truths.
