This guy has NEVER seen Dak lead a WR? Jeez.
This guy also cannot understand what a WR screen is vs a hitch route, but I'm supposed to listen to this guy?
The screen play, and yes it's a screen play, to Dez has been a staple of our offense for a long, long time under Linehan. It's a 3 step drop, the amount of steps Dak actually took which the guy exaggerates. It's designed as a blitz killer which allows Dez to go 1 on 1 vs a CB. If Dez beats the CB, it's a big play. But it's on Dez to beat the guy.
Dez has a 4 yard cushion after catching the ball to attempt to beat Darby for a TD in the video. Want to know another time Dez had a 4 yard cushion from catching the ball on this same play, after a 3 step drop?
Dak certainly has his faults as a QB. But it bugs the hell out of me when a guy is criticizing someone without understanding basic concepts or having to grossly exaggerate, or even flatly lie to attempt to make a point.
