What I saw from Dak from my seat at the stadium. I thought Dak looked really good in the first half. Very cool. Good decisions with the ball. Good ball protection. Very good at working the pocket. Very good pocket awareness. Good accuracy on short throws. It is hard for a defender to bring him down unless they wrap him up. He didn't appear to be rattled at all in his first start. Very good confidence in his game at any level, especially for a rookie.
I really believe that the game plan sucked. We kept running Zeke nonstop in the face of really bad fronts and put Zeke in a bad position. We also put Dak Ina bad position repeatedly, and he did a very good job of making lemonaid out of lemons.
Morris had some success, more than Zeke actually, but the fronts he saw were very different than the wholesale defense pounding on Zeke play after play. The play calling was totally grade school level play calling in the first half for sure.
The defense knew we were going to run it on first down with Zeke damn near every first down. Pass the ******* ball on first down at least occasionally to keep the defense honest.
Dez dropping the ball is pretty much inexcusable. Holy ****, he has done the hard part of catching the ******* ball. It's not that hard. Quit trying to understand the rule Dez and just hold that ******* ball like your life depends on it. No defensive back is going to pry that ball loose from him once he locks down on it but he seems to find a way to let it squirt out at the end of the play.
Dak played well enough to win yesterday. We should have won that game. We let another one get away . Our defense played ok with the exception of the gashes in the running game at the end of the game. We could have survived the gashes in the running game if Dez and the midget don't drop touchdown passes.
I don't know why we didn't run a single screen or reverse. Or anything at all misdirection at the Giants. That sucks.
