Dallas WR by direction and target depth

[Dre11]

The point is that the QB is not the problem with Dez.

The qb is part of the problem, you're being disingenuous.

 

[percyhoward]

Thanks for the info.

So do these numbers account for "catchable passes/balls," or is it just the simple attempts/completion data?

The latter. The number of catchable passes that were incomplete is listed under "DP," but those are not counted as completions in the numbers.

For 2017. The last number of every line is the passer rating on that player's targets at that distance and/or area of the field.

Next to the target distance is the catch rate, yards per attempt, and passer rating, combined from all three directions (L, M, and R) at that distance. Dez caught 73% of his targets under 10 yards, for example. Each target at that distance gained an average of 6.6 yards, 56% of his yardage was after the catch, with a 79.4 passer rating.

Below the target distance, the direction of the pass is broken down (L, M, and R). For example, on passes between the numbers (middle) less than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, Dallas QB had a 91.5 passer rating when targeting Bryant. This included 148 yards after the catch and 5 dropped passes.

That's a lot of work. Koodos brother

 

[LittleD]

Williams is a liability when he's on the field with Dez. Dez also allows Beasley to be doubled which makes
him less effective. We have 2 starting receivers that do not fit will with being Dak friendly. We need fast, quick
route running WR who create separation and allow Beasley to run over the middle free. Until we unload Dez and get
some speed WR, we will not be that effective.

 

[noshame]

What type of coverage did Dez have vs Butler? The stats don't include that info, I've never seen Butler or Williams getting saftey help over the top coverage.

Like I said sometimes you gotta use your eyes I mean Dez didn't get a lot of double coverage last year either Beasley was the one that drew the double

Starting with the 1st game Dak threw some deep balls to Dez and he not only missed timed his jump He gave no where near the effort he has in past seasons. in fact I haven't seen that effort since he
was Injured.
I said during the romo years that if Dez Kept leaping so high in the air and then crashing to the ground his body was gonna give out in a few years and it has

 

[xwalker]

The qb is part of the problem, you're being disingenuous.

The stats indicate that the QB is not the problem.

 

[xwalker]

That a dumb analogy he caught all of 2 balls more X he also dropped passes at a higher rate with less throws, which means had he had more targets he'd double Dez's drops.
Brice is still looking for work, had Dez been cut he would've been a tier 1 signing. give it up...lol

Oh and I thought stats don't matter, they don't tell the story...lol

He did not drop passes at a higher rate.

This is about the QB having a great completion percentage to a scrub backup WR.

Dez was worse than a scrub with the same QB.

Stats matter. You wish they didn't because it does not fit your agenda.

Stop and look at your post. You should be embarrassed.

 

[xwalker]

We'll Williams plays outside. He's not as good as butler or Dez. I would never extended his or Hannas contract. Why are they here w their 0 tds.

Hanna is a blocking TE.

Dez caught 69 passes. Williams projected to 90 catches with the same number of targets as Dez.

Dez had a low number of TDs for #1 WR.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

So on over 20 yards:
Dez 4 of 19

Butler 6 of 9

Butler caught more with less than half the targets.

Maybe it's not the QB...

Maybe it’s maybeline.

No but cmon we aren’t gonna act like there’s tons of factors into this? Like butler being used sparingly. Like how dak just heaves one to dez desperately when we’re down big bc dez is our only big play guy.

Generally, the coverage on a fourth receiver is going to be by the third or fourth corner or even a safety. Few teams look at an offense and say that they've got to do everything they can to stop that fourth receiver. It's silly to look at this comparison and believe all things are equal.

Now, if we want to look at the failure of Dak and Dez to connect on those longer passing, I think that's a legitimate concern. But to draw conclusions about Dez and Butler based on this is similar to those who were saying Hambrick should be starting over Emmitt Smith because Hambrick's numbers as a backup were better. Different roles cannot be judged on an equal basis.

 

[gimmesix]

Dez dropped 5 passes from slot....translation to me is that he should not be put in slot.

I think it was more of a case of Bryant wanting to turn every play into a big play. His hands had never been much of a problem until last season, when I think his frustrations caused him to try to do too much before making sure he secured the ball. That's a fixable problem IMO.

 

[gimmesix]

The point is that the QB is not the problem with Dez.

The quarterback and the receiver were both a part of the problem. C'mon, X, you're better than this.

 

[CATCH17]

Hanna is a blocking TE.

Dez caught 69 passes. Williams projected to 90 catches with the same number of targets as Dez.

Dez had a low number of TDs for #1 WR.

So Antonio Brown is going to come here and produce at the same level he does in Pitt?

Same for Julio?

Are you serious?

QB & scheme are absolutely part of the Dez problem.

 

[jrumann59]

I assume DP is drops, the NFL has Dez with 5 drops if I am reading the info the OP's stats has Dez with a higher drop rate?

 

[jrumann59]

So Antonio Brown is going to come here and produce at the same level he does in Pitt?

Come on Man you know it is about pinning down to one player for all the whoas on offense. It used to be Tony not its someone else and when he is gone it will be someone else.

 

[Bleu Star]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

 

[Bleu Star]

That highlights how bad Dez is.

It does.... But the peanut gallery will twist the narrative to make it seem as though Dak should also be running to catch the passes he throws and gently handing them off to Dez.

If you dont have the all22 then you are just speculating, or regurgitating something that you heard. i know for a fact that dez was doubled every pass play during the raiders game but one, the deep connection. Dak said it and i saw it.

Another good point. The CB matchups last year were pretty brutal. Patrick Peterson, Aqib Talib, Richard Sherman, Janoris Jenkins, Marcus Peters, Casey Hayward, etc. Dez is drawing those guys + probably safety help on many occasions. TWill and Brice need to be severely punishing for teams that devote attention to Dez/Beasley. The KC game is where TWill dominated and Dallas won that game. The coaching is still trash so odds are Dez wasn't schemed to do anything other than go beat your man/double coverage and win 50/50 balls, which is straight awful. This team probably isn't going anywhere until Garrett is canned, just hope for some good draft picks for the future to build a foundation for the next guy.

I agree, because Witt, twill, and beasley all had career highs in catches yards and tds. Dez is the only one that had bad stats.
