PFT: Cowboys and Dak spent time dissecting his interceptions

[MyFairLady]

He was outstanding in the Bucs game, terrible against the 49ers.

He's just bi-polar. Not good in a one and done playoff system.

The style of football that we play and the type of team that we build allows us to feast on teams that offer little resistance. Sadly we are not resilient and fold against teams that put up a fight. Our QB has come to embody these traits. In 2016 we were tough and consistent. Built to withstand pressure and adversity. Our offense was repeatable under extreme circumstances. The offense we run now and the play style of the QB requires that everything go just right. Completely unrealistic thing to expect against a team like the niners on the final drive of a playoff game.

 

[CWR]

This is true but It appears the were/are times Dak runs/ran plays he knew/knows had little chance for success based on pre-snap coverage or just a bad call from KM. Remember Sean Payton once saying Drew Brees saved his a----- from at least a half dozen bad calls per game. It's this type of leadership that was missing last season IMO. Another example is, a few years ago during one of his pressers, he was saying how Coop was frustrated on the field with a couple of plays Kellen called that they knew wouldn't work. Said he calm Coop down and told him, let's run them anyway.

I agree, and I actually remember a post game where Coop described that scenario and Dak finally gave him the green light. It resulted in a tuddy, which is the reason Coop spoke on it.

Don't get me wrong either, Dak made more than enough unforced errors. That said I don't believe we'd be talking about his int numbers if he had decent separation. It's my belief he came to the realization he had to sling it after the cover 2 owned us the season prior.

 

[CowboyoWales]

Somewhat correct. Remember, Kellen Moore's offense was Jason Garrett's offense, part of the "Air Coryell" vertical routes type of offense. It is imperative for the Oline to block well and give your QB and WRs enough time to connect on those vertical deeper patterns. Whereas the West Coast Offense that Mike McCarthy runs, it is much shorter/quick hitting/horizontal, which means your Oline doesn't have to pass protect so long. This would help Dak against this Oline that ranked 28th out of 32 last year in pass blocking win rate. The only downside is Dak seriously has to read opposing Defenses better and make quicker throws. Your receivers have to be better capable of getting off the line of scrimmage and getting open or separation quicker. No time to run lazy or wrong routes. Everyone has to be on point.

Im not convinced that those pass blocking stats hold up vrs the eye test (and even if it is, is that down to Dak waiting/HOPING for separation). Sack/hurried rates were'nt bad.
I think he'll flourish with the one/or two quick reads with easy checkdown. Im sure having Cooks, who I assume/hope Dak trusts, will give that 1/2 option, I would even see 12 or 11 personnel, assuming we draft TE/RB early (ish).

 

[Cowboy_svt]

He threw a game ending pick 6 against SF that was dropped by the linebacker then over threw a wide open Gallup, then a simple check down to Zeke was missed. He is trash.

god man, reading the comments of that vid shows how laughable this team has been, i still cant believe we lost after such a dominant defensive performance

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What's there to dissect?

Aren't they all the WR's faults?

 

[USArmyVet]

9 years? It's been 7 years (2016). Get it right. Plus, I'm not the one complaining. You are.

Post Edit: There you go. Making it personal with your "you and the other handful of Dakfantatics can sing Dak love songs" crap. Then we reply in kind...and all of you act up reporting us for attacks that y'all start.

Did Romo play in 2016? That would be a no.

Funny how you cry victimhood about making things personal thereby justifying your BS when on page 2 you asked StevetheCowboy if he needed a tissue (along with a gif image) all because he called you out for bringing up Romo.

So go cry somewhere else about how you are being treated unfairly and that's why you act like a jerk.

 

[shabazz]

I hope they got ahold of Sigmund Freud for some advice!

It was much easier to blame all the receivers instead

And Romo sure as heck bailed out Garretts horrible calls. Im kinda surprised Dak didnt as well (or maybe he did?), i think the change in OC should help a lot, i think Kellen was very Jekyll and Hyde in getting some great games, and then games where he was very weird in timing.

He did play against philly in 2016 week 17, went down the field for an easy TD drive then sadly never again

 

[shabazz]

Dak needs to call Romo and ask him for advice on a full offseason of training for such a sheer volume of turnovers. lol

Dak led the league in fumbles 2 different years and interceptions another year…..he doesn’t need any advise from Romo, lol

I think they've already dissected it and that's why they've considered a quicker WCO.

Once again, get your facts straight. He started with the personal insinuations, not me...

"Well that didn;t take long. Bringing Romo in to protect your boy. Good work."

 

[acr731]

It all makes sense now why things are the way they are around here. Crystal clear.

*Don't talk about my Romo!* lol

Talk about Romo all you want, just stop using something he did nearly 10 years ago to make excuses for Dak. Romo only played because he craved the celebrity status where Dak loves the money. Neither one is/was really interested in anything more.

Dak has no intention of getting better or improving his game, he only makes comments hoping it will get people off his back. The "I will get better" is media gold. He's been saying the same thing for several seasons and we're still waiting for that to happen.

9 years? It's been 7 years (2016). Get it right. Plus, I'm not the one complaining. You are.

It's a moot point, but if we're going to get factual, Romo played in 1 game in 2016 (he didn't start the game, Dak did) and missed most of 2015, so how long has it really been since he last started a game? October 4 2015? Just short of 8 years ago?

 

[The Fonz]

If you are in denial, you are trying so hard to protect yourself from a truth that is too painful for you to admit.
They don't want to admit their guy is just another Jag

 

[StarLord]

Which receiver did he blame for this one?

I actually think my favorite part is when he doesn't even attempt to stop the pick 6 with a tackle.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Based on the sheer volume that should keep him busy until training camp

 

[USArmyVet]

You really are a mess in your Dak defense.

 

[CowboyRoy]

That may be, but it's good that they're going over the interceptions to try to fix the errors that were made. Never a bad thing to try to find and learn from mistakes.

Any real fan would love that they are doing that. The trolls are pissed.

 

[CouchCoach]

Let's start with the real problem, the same one that plagues the owners...no fear of failure.

He just goes on camera vowing not to do that again. Romo used to like "we've got to get better at that".

It begins with the QB knowing exactly what is expected of him. And evidently advancing in the playoffs is not it with this team.

There are teams that will just wait and see, and the Cowboys have ego wrapped up in it, so they will wait too long. They should have been using 2nd day picks on QB's to provide pressure on the QB1. Hell, every player in the NFL knows their backup and their capabilities.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Any real fan would love that they are doing that. The trolls are pissed.

Exactly, and hopefully, we will be able to go further this season. I'd love to finally see the Cowboys in an NFCC game, or even in the SB.
