Micah and CeeDee Accused of Quitting

[America's Cowboy]

I have I’m not the one with the weird Dak walks on water obsession

You're the one who it's eating you up alive after reading your responses. It's killing you, hence your immature and childish responses.

I just think it's weird how players these days are all smiles & hugs after getting blown-out. Like actors at the end of a movie shoot, playing cowboys & Indians. Players used to be pissed-off when they lost...not so much anymore.

Micah plays as hard as anyone else on the team. I’m not worried about it.

As for Ceedee. Every receiver has some diva in them. Plus it’s incredibly frustrating for them when they don’t get opportunities to make plays because the ball doesn’t come their way.

The thing about Micah though is he does tend to disappear when things don’t go his way: I don’t know about quitting though,

I've seen several tweets (can't post them because not media) and heard some podcasts saying that Micah quit late in the game and CeeDee was lackadaisical from the start. I just think that the flow of the game caused them to lose hope, but does anyone else think they quit or gave up? Jesse Holley said CeeDee's body language indicates something is wrong and it will be a problem down the line. I hope not because we can ill afford any more adversity.

We need more adversity.
We need the wheels to completely fall off this fraud of a team.
Maybe this would force Jerry to make meaningful changes?
I know, don't hold your breath.

Nothing wrong with Dak.

Lol

I hate the "slow" move from one side to the other thing. Run like you're heading for the sideline catch, then cut inside. Yes, CD looked lazy at times. Poor coaching. Period. I've seen it all year. Move your you know what, or Tolbert will get your snaps. These coaches are too soft. Or is it Jerry? Parcells would have had your locker belongings on a cart in the fan parking lot.

Agreed! I asked why the receivers coach was not fired at the end of last season when so many other position coaches were fired? Our receivers are playing the same way as last year and the year before......all lazy.

They were down 4 scores late in the 3rd quarter. There was no coming back at that point. The receivers failed to get open all game long. If anything, their poor performance probably caused Dak to give up once he forced his 1st interception late in the 3rd quarter with the game out of reach.

You’ve lost your mind completely, Dak didn’t give up he was a no show and everyone on the team new it.

49ers we’re killing Dallas WRs with man coverage. Swarming them like flies on ****. Same thing we saw last playoff game. Ceedee’s body language looked bad. He was damn near walking when in motion. Micah was getting doubled almost every play in the first half. They wore him down early.

Was there even a rotation on the edge? Or was Micah in at edge all game? I never saw him come out..

The opposite what? Rewatch the game. It's all on film.

I mean when your QB is laughing after throwing INT’s what do you expect?

Yeah, Dak had a 90+ passer rating at the half even though he had minimal throwing yards due to his receivers failing to get open at all.

it’s immature to say they all sucked and played like crap when they did? Alrighty there

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Wow. And we won that one (New England).

 

[Pass2Run]

The receiver routes don't seem to get them open. Most of those routes are predictable and vanilla, so the receivers are often blanketed.

Plus, with McCarthy abandoning play action on most passing plays, the LBs drop into coverage and can contest downfield throws, and the safeties don't have to cheat up either to stop the run. So the receivers get blanketed because of the lackluster play designs and playcalling.

Having said that, CeeDee jogs through too many routes when he's covered and/or is not the primary receiver. And you can't have that. Because then the safeties quickly realize during the play that they don't need to help on CeeDee because clearly he's not the primary receiver since he's running half-azzed through the route, so they go and help elsewhere, giving Dak nowhere to throw (then SACK!). I thought Amari did this too much as well.

Micah simply looks like he gets tired too quickly out there, thus he needs frequent breaks. Micah needs to spend more time doing cardio and less on his podcasts. Micah looks tired by the middle of the 2nd quarter in many games.

And by later in the 3rd quarter against the Niners, he was dead, because by then, the Cowboys had been pounded into submission. And then, yeah, he probably just gave up...and you can see it in his body language, on and off the field.

I simply don't know how strong these young players' psyches are...I don't trust their ability to battle through adversity yet. If I trust anyone, I trust Dak, and D Law...but Dak may not have the ability to overcome such a bad offensive scheme with his average arm talent. And D Law is doing everything he can to keep the young guys believing in the process, but it's just not enough, especially once your defense is getting pounded into submission.

Oh well.

Did it occur to you that Micah was tired because of all the consecutive 3-and-outs, and having to run back onto the field, again. TOP in the first half was lop-sided, I'd bet. Terrible play-calling lost us this game. Mike was running when he should be passing, and passing when he could run.

This wasn't a game where you're going to run a whole lot against this defense. You needed to pass, and utilize motions and play-action.

 

[Typhus]

100% agree. Both McCarthy and Quinn.

Blame those coaches AC.

 

[McMicah]

These guys are human. Morale is a real thing no matter how much you’re paid. You don’t stop being human after getting a big paycheck.

Go back and watch that crosser scramble CeeDee had. And then watch his face after the play. Wanna know why he looks so mad? Because of Dak had hit him in stride instead of making him stop for the catch he would’ve been gone or at least made it 25 yards farther. Those little things stack up in your mind. You start to turn in your teammates and then when things continue to go downward it becomes a pattern and you start despising your situation or other teammates

Nothing wrong with Dak. Our receivers were getting blanketed all game long. Plus, our Oline was getting beat often in pass protection along with at the line of scrimmage. We couldn't even get the running game going whatsoever. Complete and total failure by everyone. Even the playcalling stunk badly.

Go away with your it’s everyone else’s fault, back to coaching WR RB D OL HC play calling causing Dak all these problems, why can’t you just say Dak sucked today and is a major reason Dallas lost.You’re either trolling or have some serious mental issues
