With Garret and Linehan in years past, i thought they needed to trust dak more, but they didn't. With a predictable and sometimes vanilla offense it was tough to help dak get into the flow of the game.

Today - Dak wasn't perfect to start. However moore stuck with him! As a result he was perfect the rest of the day. He let Dak get into a Rhythm. Dak has proved in the past when he gets it going he's tough to stop. The GB playoff game was a perfect example of this.

Listen i know dak is growing as a player, and were a run first offense. All i'm saying is it was nice to see trust for one of our best players. It was nice to get a lead today and not go into "not to lose" mode.
 
I think you hit it on the head. Linehan really never trusted Dak and used the RB as a crutch.

Moore had Dak open it up and he showed he is capable. He had a few high passes in the 1st Quarter, but he really got into a groove as the game went along.

A lot of this is the gameplan letting him succeed by giving him favorable situations.

Yeah i just feel like garret and linehan would shy away from things. Like when we had an incompletion on first down, how many times did we do the second and 10 run. It was like clockwork. Not saying it was a bad move with zeke, but still its nice that we trusted our guy finally.

One of the biggest issues with Garrett as OC was that he'd get into quicksand and try to claw out of it. Even just down a little, he'd typically overreact.

Linehan never trusted Dak or the passing game. I think he signed on to coach Romo to Dez like he had Stafford to Megatron, but when he lost that he just kind of turtled into the run game.

Moore looked like he had a scheme and stuck to it.
 
Dak has typically been a slow starter. It’s one of the things I would like to see him improve on.
