:lmao:

I couldn't tell at first, but now I know you're trolling
You don't get embarrassed by the Dez antics? People complain about Norman and Steve Smith last week but Dez has the same childish antics while the rest of the Cowboys team is focused on winning and in the case of the Zeke and the OL, dominating.

It's called being a rookie. Mistakes will be made and lessons will be learned. I have no complaints about Dak whatsoever and he's only going to get better which is scary.

I love Josh Norman, but he was owned, comparatively, yesterday by our Dez.
Commanders Talk is saying if Cousins would have missed that throw everyone would have been all over it...but when Dak missed it people say "well he's a rookie". Uh duh.:laugh:

He twisted dudes ankle, so I can give him a pass for that. The other stuff I can see you're point.

It does get annoying when it's out of nowhere.

No, I don't vicariously get embarrassed by the actions of someone playing in the sports entertainment industry.

He also pushed him in the back after Dak's TD run when Dez was pointing at the sky and he tried to step on his hand after a reception.

We are not there on the field and we can only see and hear what cameras may catch. Sometimes I think we expect men that play a violent sport to be robots and act as if this stuff doesn't happen.

With that said, I hope Dez backs off on the Twitter stuff.

When Dak starts exposing the deep middle part of the field it will be over.


We can't miss stuff like this in the playoffs. That's an easy TD.

Dak is awesome but the deep middle part of the field is something he really needs to work on.

Agreed Catch. All Dak needs is experience, consistent film study, and keep trusting the coaching he's getting from Linehan and Red. He seems to be improving by leaps and bounds week to week. 195 yards won't get many "fantasy points" but when the game was on the line and we needed a play or two, he stepped up and made the play. Whether it was 3rd 14 - 18 yard completion to Beastly - or extending plays with his legs (including his TD run), he's balling.

The arrow for this kid is pointing way up. I just hope he keeps the 3 Hs:

1) Stays hungry for success
2) Remains humble as he continually improves as an NFL QB
3) Stays healthy so that he can reach his potential

If he does these things, the sky's the limit for this kid.

Dak needs SOMETHING to work on this offseason. He also threw a poor pass to an open Dez deep middle, but on that same play Witten was uncovered. Before people jump on Catch, we can point out areas of improvement and still like the kid.

Wait, are you telling me our rookie QB who is riding the longest win streak in team history while posting numbers comparable to all time QBs isn't perfect?

It's so easy to set on our couch and say he missed while he as a 300 lb linemen closing in on him and he as to make a split second decision. But I do agree he did miss that, but I also know on that particular play is when he was scrambling to the right side and hit Beasley for a first down on a through that even highly impressed Troy Aikman.

Just saying!

10-1 with room for improvement. Think about that. If we were talking about a guy who was 10-1 but was winning because the defense/special teams was scoring weekly, different story. We're winning BECAUSE of the offense, and it could get even better. This is a good place to be.

On that DEZ bomb Dak was looking at him and thought he was covered, and didn't hang with him long enough for Dez's break. He threw it to the 2nd receiver.

Yeah Aikman pointed that out. They need to call that play again against a team that plays Dez 1-on-1 with no S in the middle of the field. Max-protect and tell Dak he'll have time to let the route develop. Looks like an impossible route to defend if Dez runs it crisp.

Do your posts have to match your sig pic?

I can't be irritated that a WR with a 70M contract can't catch a perfectly thrown from the QB while little Beasley catches everything and takes a beating for doing it? Zeke, Dak, the OLine, Beasley and Witten carry the team and Dez struts down the sidelines like he won the game by himself. My request for Dez: Just the the F(reak) UP and catch the ball when it is thrown to you.

If Dez wants respect, then he should dominate like Zeke. Zeke is so dominant that the opponents are doing the feed-me sign now.
Dez caught 5 of 7 targets and had another one we all wish he'd pulled in while diving for the ball and being hugged. It's a shame because that's the type of ball he usually brings in.

But did you see the arms stretched above his head 3rd down careening catch in traffic he made on a td drive we absolutely had to have?

Have you been unconscious the last few weeks? As Dez has regained pre injury form?

Do you realize that Dez would be putting up video game numbers if Dak wasn't a rookie? Dak would be the first person to tell you he's been routinely missed all year long and hasn't complained at all. At all. Despite your constant insults of his intelligence and implied Dez has a "me first" attitude. Despite all the evidence to the contrary from just about everyone.

Also Beasley is generally catching passes that travel 5 or 6 yards in the air. I'd hope he's catching all of those. That's what safety valves do.

Finally no comment on that route in the op? You're one who consistently says Dez can't run anything but a go route or a quick slant. Suspiciously quiet on this piece of film.

It's embarrassing how the Cowboys organization... That's management, coaches and players all respect what Dez brings to the field (not to mention defensive coordinators) and yet you don't/can't.

And Zeke's domination has actually been just quiet efficiency the last few weeks. It's obvious to see he starts every game with a massive advantage over a defense given our line. What's less obvious but something I'd expect someone like you who takes pride in "scouting a game" would be how Dez is consistent beating guys and tilting the field for his opponents.

The fact that in a master class performance from Dez in getting open and helping this team. Win you point to exactly one play for criticism. You've turned into a joke.

Sad because you were one of my favorite posters.

or

Maybe Zeke is just feasting now and with the looming food shortage, opponents are scrambling for scraps still at the table.
