Jane Slater: Player has concern that Dak panics when 1st read not there

[VaqueroTD]

That doesn’t sound like something to come from the guy leading the team in receptions. Thst sounds like a vet and I’d assume Cooks or Gallup.

CeeDee definitely projects it the most. They're all pretty tight on not throwing each other under the bus, so no idea. At least they got that. Doesn't feel like a Philly locker room yet.

And so it begins

The facade and myth of Dak the great leader is starting to come apart

greasing us for a June 1 cut and dead money

We can't forget that the 49ers came out and said they wanted the ball in Daks hands to try and beat them. They know he can't

 

[Redsfan_83]

11 or 88 I am sure

 

[Nav22]

You left out a few details. Fixed it for you.

 

[Kumala808]

CD I see why you were upset yesterday

That pick 6 cooks was wide open and the first int. If he waited he had ceedee coming open to the sideline

Lamb was never open. Packers had him bracketed all game long. Cooks was open for the first down. I know it was a quick slant but all Dak had to do was wait a split second. Like I said his internal clock goes wild in pressure situations.

And the Giants said it about 4 yrs ago...

Cardinals aren’t a good team and same thing….

So he occasionally poops the bed against bad teams too.

 

[McKDaddy]

How did Amari do in the playoffs? I know he showed up like he typically does….

People get injured. None of that matters as regards the circumstances surrounding trading him for a bag of peanuts though.

No.....I never argued against poor compensation....just that he chokes under pressure just like the rest of this team does.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So he sucks against bad teams and good teams.....shocked hes' even in the league at this point.

 

[mldardy]

If he is our QB next year I will not be happy. I want this guy gone.

Olsen pointed this out several times . GB planned to take away the 1st read KNOWING , DAK can't read defenses for crap and would panic .

Great scouting , as this has held true his entire career

Nice paraphrase. Wasn’t it also Olsen who kept showing the defense and asking, where‘s he supposed to go with the ball? Everyone is covered?

 

[Kingofholland]

I don't think Dak generally panics if his first read isn't there and does a good enough job going through his progressions. In fact one of the best things he does when the pocket breaks down is scramble and he often finds an open man. Yesterday felt different and think the pressure of the game and the changing looks got to Dak. Unfortunately, that's become a trend with Dak in big games, that seems to have carried forward from Romo.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Accurate assessment of yesterday.

He absolutely choked in the 1st half, and sped himself up unnecessarily when the 1st read wasn't there.

The pick-6 was beyond atrocious and then he was nearly picked in the endzone right before the half as well. That would've been his 3rd INT.

I’ve contacted the police to do a welfare check on you. This is not the Nav22 I know.

Too bad the Giants haven't beaten the Cowboys in a game Dak has started against them since December 2016.

 

[Lutonio]

You mean that sweaty, heavy breathing, saucer-eyed version of him when the game isn’t completely easy? Yeah, we all see it.

 

[SwagSurfer]

She states Ceedee is not the player who made the 1st read comment and also

 

[DFWJC]

Dak has issues with his progressions in big game pressure situations. His clock speeds up more than it needs to.
In easier games, and especially with no defensive pressure, he can go through them ok
But he has always had this issue. Speed up his clock in high-pressure games and freaks a little.
But he CAN go thru his progressions when there is plenty of low-hanging fruit.


Btw.... another QB who has a different but also glaring weakness in his game, but often gets away with it, is Jared Goff.

If you don't pressure him, he can carve you up as much as anyone
But he gets any pass rush pressure at all, he has huge issues.
No QBs (maybe ever?) has a bigger drop in QB rating when pressured.

Last night Goff
No pressure. 22 for 22...perfect..all his yards and TDs
Pressure: 0-5, 0 yards obviously
It's dramatic
