Jaire Alexander's INT

[khiladi]

According to the second tweet they said it wasn’t really Dak fault and dude made a great play.

Dak fanboys are choosing to live in an alternate world of make believe regarding their QB.

I want you to look at TWO THINGS:

1. On the first Tweet, pay attention to Dak the whole time and where he is looking. He is watching the action between Cooks and Jaire the WHOLE TIME.

2. Now look at the second Tweet and watch the actual action between Jaire and Cooks. It’s obvious that Jaire won the match-up.

Then ask yourself why in the hell did Dak throw it, knowing this fact?

Y'all still don't understand football. Oh, that's right, you never played the sport. No wonder.

It’s our alleged resident Al Bundy acting like they are the alpha and omega of football knowledge lol.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I wonder if he was trying to draw a DPI call. That's my only explanation. Especially since Lamb is wide open up top.

Choked? Pressure?

 

[OGSixshooter]

Because as someone said in the locker room the other day, if first read isn't there, he panics

It's no more complicated than that

Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is often the most true. Don't make up monsters or gods to explain what is obvious - Dak chokes.

 

[OGSixshooter]

The problem is this: We ALL knew that once Dak threw that INT, the game was over. It was in his head, he was going to panic and choke. The only ones who won't ADMIT what they KNOW are the homers/Dakstains.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Wrong.

It's an auto throw once the decision that CD is covered is made. When you throw it, there's no read. It's an assumption that the WR is crossing face.

Doesn't matter if it should have gone to CD or not.

In that case, all QBs should just go by what they DESIGNED as opposed to WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING ON THE FIELD!!!

Seriously flawed post...this is emotional attachment...not analysis.

Who were these few? People on twitter lol. I don’t know why fans say that dumb comment. Of course teams know other teams plays and tendencies they watch tape. It isn’t like a team has 1000 plays to run. They run a lot of the same plays all the time. Heck any decent YouTube break down guy can show you this so why wouldn’t actual teams do an even better job of this?

Since I have more than enough time to watch sports programming than the law allows, it seems that the majority of the SO-CALLED EXPERTS thought that the Cowboy's offensive game plan was too vanilla and it allowed GB to pretty much shutdown the Boys in the beginning stages of their meeting two weeks ago and once they built up their lead, they were able to play nice and loose and it was pretty much over before the end of the 1st half! That joke of a play sheet that MM was holding was fricking useless because the Boys once again came out tighter than a nut and bolt with a gallon of Lock Nut spread all over it. It didn't matter who the Boys were facing in the 1st round, they were going to be on the losing end because that's who they are...........................

YES. Constantly they should, and mostly do.

This is called throwing with anticipation.

It's why you need to invest in WRs and an offensive scheme that shcemes players open.

anticipation based on what the defense is SHOWING YOU IN REAL-TIME. If you expect the 2nd option to cross the face of the WR, but they get jammed at the line...now what?

Patrick Mahomes in divisional games has 16TDs and 0 INTs...Dak needs just a few minutes in each playoff game to top that. And by your logic, the KC plays ALWAYS work as designed...when that's simply not true.

You don't pay someone $60mm to be a dummy terminal who can't think on his feet.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

That's what he did.

The CB is playing ~7 yards off and you have a 5-yard route that crosses face.

Good lord what are you people watching?

So you just believe anything a “so called expert” says as long as you thought it was true beforehand? Gotcha. I know you’re not the most knowledgeable on this and you don’t have to believe me but ask people that know football that aren’t on tv for ratings how many plays teams run and you’ll be surprised. Terms like vanilla are for common folks imo that don’t know jack spit about sports but that they like them.

Warner made some good point weeks ago about the double slant stuff.
He noted that the breaks need to happen sequentially at different depths, not simultaneously at the same depth so that the QB can get a read on the defenders reaction to the first break.
Then he can throw or go to the next read.
We have multiple reads happening simultaneously and expect the QB to read them simultaneously.
By the time Dak gets to the second read it's already over and he's behind in his reaction.

Oddly even after pointing this out, we did the same thing again, weeks later.
This tells me the coaches are not designing their plays with purpose and not coaching the subtleties of that purpose.
We need to create reads in a logical progression so that the QB can come off of one just as the next receiver is forcing his defender to commit, and the QB is ready to deliver if that read is what he wants.

Dak gets further behind on each progression, frequently missing the window of opportunity for the man to be open.
He also gets more frantic as he tries to catch up to the speed of play.
A good coach would slow Dak's field down by working to create logical sequential reads, and coach his receivers to create readable commitments on the part of the defenders. And they would practice each scenario until players could do it in their sleep.

talent itself doesn't win. That talent needs to be deployed with individual strategic purpose, on every play.
Each play should have a strategic goal, at every position. Strategies force the openings and give the QB the best opportunity to capitalize.
You don't just go out there, run a bunch of routes and hope for the best.

most of the time dak throws to the plays 1st option, 1 read and throw it no matter what.
That keeps him from getting hit as much. And he may have been told to do this very thing, it gets ball out quicker.

Regardless of whether this is true or not (it's not)

Hitting the first read isn't an indictment of the QB lol

but dont hold your breath waiting to see that with mike and his cowboys.

My point exactly.
I don't think our players even know what to do or look for, because they're never told

Deion made a living out of doing this. No q.b. is perfect. Happens to Mahomes on down. Greenbay jumped Purdy all game but suddenly gets a case of butterfingers.. They hold on to those int's. Purdy would be the dead duck versus Dak. Everything is always luck or chance sometimes. He dropped Dak's pick. Nobody's discussing it.

 

[Runwildboys]

There should have been one, IMO. I think the only reason he beat Cooks to the ball was because he pulled on his shoulder.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Look at the throw to Gallup last year. In this case, he just ASSUMES Gallup is open after his other reads are there. He doesn’t even bother to look to see first. This is shown very clearly from the bird-eye view angle at the end of this clip.

Some fans forget it takes quarterback and receiver to make the throw work. A lot of the time it's on the receiver -wrong route-timing or cutting route short. Mahomes had the same problem late this season. Dak has thrown bad passes, but the receivers have run bad routes also. But no one wants to heat that.
