Oh, I know my posts eat you up because you can't guarantee 100% that interception was on Dak. You can only assume.But shouldn't the QB see the 2 deep and go somewhere else regardless if CD ran the right or wrong route, that is irrelevant. The QB decides where to throw the ball and he decieded to throw it there and then made a bad throw to just cap it off. Dak could have ran, thrown in away or changed the play at the LOS when he saw the 2 deep look. That interception was 100000000000000% on Dak. He played a good second half and has played pretty well since his return. It's ok to take break and give your lips a rest and say he made a bad decision.
Once again, due to the 2 deep coverage, if CeeDee was supposed to run a comeback or a curl, Dak's throw makes absolute sense. Since CeeDee clearly decided to run a straight fade right into the 2 deep Safety coverage, along with being trailed step-by-step by another DB, that would be more on him. Of course, this places into question why Kellen Moore would design such a play to begin with. Both CeeDee and the next WR just to the left of him both seem to be running the same/similar fade route deep side by side while the furthest left receiver runs a delayed skinny dig underneath. Totally makes no sense, especially since CeeDee and the receiver just to his left are both running similar deep routes into the same coverage while the far left 3rd receiver takes longer to run a skinny dig underneath. That looks so messed up and actually worked towards the Defense's play. Which begs the question: who designed such a poorly designed routes pass play? Certainly not Dak. That falls on the O-Coordinator...and you know it. Also, you're in 3rd & 15 with pressure coming at you, why run such a designed play that takes so long to develop when you've got a heavy pass rush coming at you? Wouldn't a quick striking pass play work much better? Of course you will say that falls on Dak for not audibling into a quick striking pass play, but had Dak audibled into that and actually thrown another interception on that audibled quick striking play, you would still be here blaming Dak. The bottom line is Kellen Moore needs to design much better routes for each receiver against certain defensive coverages, because the ones he is designing simply are not working.
