The further I got away from "The non-Catch" play...a few things bother me:I won’t knock him for trying to make a play especially in the playoffs where this team lacked. He tried to score the touchdown because he didn’t have any faith we would. The read was good, the throw was good the catch was good. My issue was the timing of that throw. Yes Dez was single covered but he was single covered for most of that game. If I’m not mistaken it was 4th and 2 or 4th and 3. I’d prefer a less riskier throw and an easier catch then that on that down.
My point was Dez didn’t throw up on himself. He caught it.
- Did Romo really need to roll the dice on 4th and 2 with an erratic Dez? People call Dak "slow" but quite frankly, the best QBs have a TON of things to process before they throw the ball: Matchups, defensive, post-snap adjustments and...who should I trust in that moment. All of that in 2.3 seconds...only the best of the best can do this. For those who say, "Romo could process...blah, blah, blah..."...OK...then why throw a 30 yard ball on 4th and 2?
- Did Dez really need to try and score? This is what I meant in my earlier post about Dez thinking about making ESPN highlights instead of making the play. He did "too much". In that moment at that part of the game he needed to secure the ball most importantly...he already made a spectacular grab with a guy draped on him...a mature WR secures that ball.
So both the QB and WR were risk-takers who threw caution to the wind...and we got what we got.
