Jaire Alexander's INT

[IceStar-D7]

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

And out muscled him to the spot. Cooks is extremely small. Nothing Dak could do there either....Just being real-guys.

Exactly, but Lamb was open, so I can't really give Dak a full excuse lol.

Ball needed to be low enough that only Cooks had a chance at it

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?

that interception was on cooks. he was in the front of the DB. he had position and then let Jair flex him. make the catch. that's why you are here. or minimally make sure its not intercepted. Dak trusted Cooks. Cook allowed himself to be bullied. so yeah, this interception is on Cooks. this is the NFL son. you ain't getting 10 yards of separation. you have to make those type of plays.

where you failed in your analysis, the play probably should have gone to Lamb, who had a step on the defender and less chance of interception.

I like how all of a sudden INTs have sub categories now with Dak. Off the WR hands, wrong route, weather, sun in eyes, bad call by HC, poor OL, etc....don't remember Romo, Aikman and every other Dallas QB getting any benefit of the doubt on their INT....it was just marked as an INT and no freaking excuses. This one definitely on Dak and poor decision forcing the pass again to his primary receiver.

well the OP had an "Almost intercepted" category. he also kept stats of interceptions in preseason and practice. so go figure....there are different levels of stupidity

It was his 1st read, he starred it down and threw it. Jaire did make a good play but Dak telegraphed it.

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.

Actually, there a few experts out there that when they start talking Cowboys, I listen because they've played the game and they know what the hell they're talking about.

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

Hey, he learned it from Kurt Warner. Well, that is until Kurt has something negative to say, then he sucks and does not know football.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

LOL.

As I suspected you are basically cherry picking what Warner said. He's quite clear. He said if Dak reads the CB covering Cooks properly, the throw should have gone to Lamb. You can point out play design and Cooks issue on his depth but Dak also made a mistake there.

It still doesn't matter.

The point isn't if Dak made the wrong read or not, it's that the WR didn't win the route properly and that caused the INT. Those two things are independent of each other.

You can LOL all you want, but all you do is repeat yourself and look for gotchas. You're not as insightful as you like to pretend.

 

[ATXSRT]

CD wide open on that play lol.

He's only wide open AFTER the ball is thrown lol.

Like what are you people watching?
