We’ll see…. One TD pass does not make up for weeks of drops. I’m more excited to see Cooks involved. No drop off there, just not being involved as much. Big boost for him.
First of all, this wasn’t Michael Gallup‘s only good game of the year. I believe he had like two or three games in a row either to start the year or was it right after the by? Yes, it was followed up by a couple bad games, but he wasn’t the only one dropping footballs so is our tight ends and others so let’s give him a little break here. This was not his only good game of the year. I’d have to go back and look at the stats but they were at least two games I remember where he look like the old Gallup.

so slowly, but surely, I think the vision mike McCarthy had for this office is starting to Bear fruit I believe he truly thought we were gonna have a championship style stingy defense held all teams under 17 points and it didn’t happen so he had to switch from ultra conservative to basically I don’t see much difference between this offense and Kellen Moore is on offense now, the last four weeks. If you need any proof of that, did you not see that play was it? I believe it was cooks and lamb that ran in each other they literally almost ran the mirror routes right into the same zone. One of them got the route wrong, but that’s the kind of stuff that was happening last year. Too many routes run too close together they were bringing their defender right into where he can break off his man and double it was causing problems and I saw it happen against the Giants. I can’t remember the play, but it looked really familiar.

For what?
Better than Pollard has been doing. :popcorn:

Actually.
They miss his presence inside the 5. Not just for running plays, but to power into the end zone, as well 1st downs.
And to keep defenses honest, as they need to be prepared for the run. So it can open up the passing game as well.
Especially with Ferguson playing well to be that big end zone target threat.

I've been rooting for MG to return to form. I hope this is just the beginning of a great comeback, surpassing his pre-injury performances.

Idk I'm not reading all this, but the fact that he had a decent game against ARZ doesn't change the fact that he's been a liability all year.

How can this be possible? I thought Prescott cannot be that accurate. He doesn’t have a good deep ball, and he only dink and dunk the ball up and down the field.
Dak has chem finally with CD, now lets watch Pollards receiving game underneath go insane when he doesn't have Safeties sitting on him.

Have we already forgotten the huge drop for a first down that killed the drive against the Eagles??

I'm not seeing that. His plodding 1+ ypc last year and $18M contract had to go.

Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle are fine. And they haven't even started incorporating the rooks yet.

Would probably elevate some on first downs, also.

The two rooks had 5 plays each this past game. Let's see how well the #3 & #4 receivers do this next game and then pay attention more closely to the running totals.

#1 most improbable completion from Sunday.


Watching their video run, it appears that they go by separation on catching the ball, not separation on releasing the ball.

The throw has a lot to do with how much separation there is at the catch.

Sorry, I know that's not rah rah, but the weakness of their metric jumped out.
