Aside from Brandon Smith's contested catches late in games ... i really didn't get to see much of a vertical game this preseason ...

- Opposing preseason teams got the deep go bomb on us .. per Wright and Bland, but did we get to see that artwork on our part ?

-and we haven't seen Simi Fehoko used or go deep - so it's unknown if he'll be that kind of vertical threat until Dak is in the game ...

- Turrpin ? ..
.Kellen would have to scheme him bunch formations and rub routes to spring him a free release
and head of steam momentum downfield and he's not gonna be a lengthy target

- i still think Gallup would normally be our best deep threat, but hes' still recovering from an ACL injury and who knows if it may take a full season to get anywhere near his full previous pre-ACL form..
If you didn't see the deep threat then you didn't see the practices with #4 throwing the ball and paid far too much attention to the preseason games where #4 was not throwing the ball. Change how you consume the preseason and you will see things differently.

Every wideout can be a deep threat. It’s not about just blazing past CBs because you have a faster 40 time. It’s good routes, double moves, selling the hitch and go, good run play fakes, and a heavy dose of solid 3-4 second pass protection.

And only few really are, usually the WRs with speed and quickness.

Secondary plays man or zone and speed is a zone buster.

Just where did I complain in my post? I said it didn't matter much if he wasn't top dog on very deep passes.
You complained about people "finding different ways to say 'Dak sucks'", when that wasn't at all what I was doing.

And I didn't say I was talking about you. If I had been I would have said so.

And it wasn't a complaint, it's a fact....

Ignore list gets a little longer. People say crap and pretend they were saying something else. :laugh:
