Video: Michael Gallup first Dallas Cowboys TD from Dak Prescott

[Htown-Cowboy]

Get used to it Dak lovers and haters alike. The Prescott Gallup connection is real. Settle in and enjoy.

Indeed!! I know there will be some rough spots during the season, but I'm all in!!

LET'S GO COWBOYS!!

Gallup looks like a winner, nice pickup for us. What I really liked from the Dak throw was that he did it from the pocket. My concern was that Dak's best throws came on the run vs. standing in the pocket...Kudos to both
Gallup and Dak on that play!

I am not a Dak hater by any stretch, but how was that a 'good throw'? If the DB had swiveled his hips and followed the ball, the WR would have been playing defense and having to chase the 49'er down. Way too low of a pass for that route.

When Dak let the ball go Gallup had a lead on the receiver, all Dak can do is hit the receiver in stride, which he did. If the throw was higher Gallup wouldn't have been able to catch it.

If nothing else it was a good throw in that regard, besides that it was a 30 yard pass play, how many here have said "Dak can't throw over 10 yards"?

Im glad that Gallup is showing his potential..Dak is the Cowboys franchise qb, i expect that and more out of him..

I liked his quote after the game too.

“You’ve got to be able to do it. Coach tells us all the time that you’ve got to be able to win nine routes,” Gallup said. “If they’re going to load the box, you’ve got to have wide receivers that are putting out production.”

It was a GOOD throw. Not perfect, but he put it where it needed to be. Even if the defender plays it perfectly, Gallup has a good chance at getting it.

He probably wouldn’t have made the throw if the defender was close to Gallup. Dak is a sharp kid and is very calculated with his decisions, hence why his completion percentage is high.

I missed the game but watched the highlights. That was a beautifully thrown ball. Let's hope Dak Builds on those kind of throws throughout the year. We really need the Deep threat

It was bad coverage more then anything but i'll take it.

I was so pleased to see Gallup's quick speed increase to pass and separate from the defender before catching the ball. That play was incredibly revealing and eased concerns I had RE his ability to continue getting excellent separation in the bigs...

Dude looks soo fluid in his movements.

I think we scored big time by drafting him..

I watched him a bunch because I follow Boise State in the MW, and the dude was CONSTANTLY tearing it against everyone!!

Great pic of Moore. Righteous.

Should start over T-Will

That is not even a question. In face Lance should start over Williams too. He has way more passion and can actually catch with his hands.

 

[cern]

some have a tendency to overthink things/events. was it bad defense. was the ball thrown too low. my take is simple. dak threw, gallup caught, touchdown!!!!!!!

Yep, every throw/touchdown isn't perfect, but the main thing is you put yourself in position to make the play - protection, recognition and route running....

Erod?

Don't think it's a matter of who starts, both if they are on the 53 will get chances, and I like that...

Wow.

First, Dak has been making good throws down the sideline since he got here. That throw is not his problem. It's the medium to deep stuff between the numbers and out routes where he is all over the place.

Second, if you think that was a great throw, that's telling. If the corner doesn't stop for no reason, it may very well be a pick. The ball was thrown low and inside. A good corner picks that off. Dak is good at those throws, but that wasn't one of them.

Carry on, wayward fans.

If you’re not a hater, then you’re blind.

He hit the receiver perfectly in stride.

Lol dude you’ve gone off the deep end.

How about this. How about Dak trusted the receiver to do what he was supposed to do? Gallup shielded the defender with his body and used a little shove to get seperation at the top of the route. Which is what a receiver is supposed to do in that situation.

Dak hit Gallup perfectly in stride.

You’re unbelievable dude.
