No Blocking, No Pass Game

[staubach24]

I'm not one to stick up for Dak, but even the casual observer could see it. Tyron Smith, Connor Williams, and just about everybody sucked today up front. That said, Dak would not present any kind of threat to take this or any team deep into the playoffs. Not with some of the defenses in the NFC. He simply isn't feared by anyone

 

[Captain-Crash]

I thought we got rid of Our recievers who couldn’t run routes or get open?

we did but we didn't get rid of the QB that couldn't get the wr's the ball.

 

[dragon_mikal]

I am not defending Dak. But to suggest the harassment he took had nothing to do with his results is just a Johnny One Note sort of thing. You focus on him and not the line play or the open or not receivers.

This offense is terrible. Dak is some of that problem.

But not the entire problem.

Ok.

What about get game before that.

Or the game before that?

Or the one before that?

Or the one before that?

Sooner or later people will open their eyes and realize that this Dak is the Dak. He is what he is.

 

[CATCH17]

Yeah... JG can't coach a team without the best OL in the NFL .

Yep..l

JG needs the best everything.,

Then he might make the playoffs with it and get bamboozled by coaching even though he has better players.

 

[Bluefin]

Blocking was very poor. But other QB's have that problem and can still move the ball.

And what happened when we did move the ball?

Zeke stepped out of bounds before catching a pass to nullify a TD and later fumbled in the red zone to kill another scoring opportunity?

Dak Prescott and the passing game is a huge issue, but there are problems across the board from top to bottom with this team.

A couple of plays go differently and we would have been right in that game.

 

[Diehardblues]

Yea but I love Dak. He’s a Leader and good guy. Y’all are just haters. Lol

 

[perrykemp]

the entire offense is a dumpster on fire inside of a dumpster on fire hurtling towards the sun.

+1 for descriptive language.

 

[Captain-Crash]

yep you are correct. I'm a Dak fan not a Cowboys fan. I want Dak to succeed no matter how many games we lose.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Don’t get me wrong I am not just trying to blame Dak only.

This franchise is going nowhere with Garrett running it. But the reality is Dak is a big issue too. He had 58 yards passing with 10-12 minute to go in the game. That’s bad Quaterbacking even if you are getting average OL play.

The reality very well may be we need a new coach and new QB this offseason .

And I agree. Dak can play, if he has a clean pocket and people open.

Now some will want to knock that comment. But analyse it first.

Not questioning you there.

 

[Parcells4Life]

There’s been many QBs in the league with average OLs. They find a way to succeed with quick release and scheme. Linehan has to scheme around the issues but Dak has to execute the plays

 

[TheSkaven]

He didn't get average line play. He was getting pressure as soon as the center made the exchange.

I can’t believe people are even challenging you on this. It’s like they watched a different game.

And most of the time it was Conner Williams getting beat. He can’t deal with the bull rush, those DTs were just carrying him right back into Dak.

 

[Parcells4Life]

And similar WR's?

No two things are a.like in this league. No two situations. No two coaching staff's.

There is only one Garrett - The Scarlet Clapper, and that was not a compliment.

Seattle is worse across the board at every position except QB

There’s no need to scheme. Just move our 285lb guard to tackle or sit him this year and let him bulk up and learn. If you need to scheme to help your guard take on DTs one on one you’re already in really bad shape.

The offense has to execute.

Put the lions share on Dak if you wish, but everyone has to do their jobs consistently in order to move the ball.

The offense is struggling to move the ball and score points. It isn't good enough to survive self-inflicted wounds. Drops, inaccurate passes, bad blocks, holding, stepping out of bounds, fumbling, all of it.

The defense is good with the potential to be more than that, but generating 1 turnover in three games is almost as big a problem as the other side of the ball. Busting coverages and giving up 2 TDs to a bad opposing offense today? That won't do.

Byron Jones getting a holding call on a punt return that was on the other side of the field and backing the offense up yet again?

The Cowboys' first five possessions all started inside their own 25.

Yes, Dak needs to throw the ball better. We need better plays called. The OL has to be better in pass protection. Feed Zeke.

How about the defense and/or special teams giving the O a short field for a change?

 

[Captain43Crash]

Dak took a lot of hits b/c he holds the ball too long. Go re-watch. Dak has plenty of time to look over the field. He's just indecisive. Dak's inability to conduct a passing attack is what hamstrung the offense last year and its the same story this year. The guy has failed to pass for 200 yards in 8 of his last 10 games. Quit blaming the OL.

We realize Dak needs to improve on some of his throws and reads, but if you don’t realize everything about this Offense stunk today you have serious blinders on. Also, the O line sucked, but deep down you know that.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Seattle is worse across the board at every position except QB

So what you are saying is the Seahawks beat Dallas with their QB alone and not one of the other twenty one players won their assignments?

Cool story, bro.

Cool story, bro.

What I’m saying is everyone who’s using the excuse that the OL and WRs aren’t all pros right now, isn’t holding water because Seattle is able to overcome that.

So either their QB is 11 points better or our coaches aren’t able to get the talent to live up to the hype. I think it’s somewhere in the middle

But not the entire problem.

Here's the thing. Cleveland's pass protection looked awful when Taylor was at QB, but suddenly looked decent when Mayfield played. Why?

Because Mayfield was decisive and got rid of the ball. Taylor waited, looking for that wide open receiver and time ran out.
