Prescott Is Just 2 INTs Away From Matching His Career High For A Season

[starfan1]

The fact that we cant (dont?) run a screen pass is very telling.

for the life of me i cant figure out why we dont do that more. When we do it it seems we have decent success

There's no context with this thread. It's all based on emotion, which I usually stay away from. But, I will digress today.

Cowboys:
Last in WR separation yards
Last in pass block win rate.

Your QB is the most pressured in the league and will have more guaranteed contested throws with our WR core and have INTs with these metrics yet we still have had chances to win games. Hmmmm...maybe the OC should create a more spread receiver scheme and get our receivers open more to combat this? Like most teams do.

Cowboys, top 5 in the league in least pressures allowed

was posted on Dallas Cowboys official twitter last week and someone linked it on this site.

Just an FYI

 

[Proof]

Me before Dak came back:



I literally called the things you and your buds complain about INCLUDING the defensive collapse.

This is interesting, and to be fair you did point that out. Good call.

couple of notes though. the rushing attempts were at 29 per game under rush w/ only one game over 30 attempts. since dak has returned it's at 34 attempts with only one under 30. so not only not non-existant, more existant.

Time of possession is at 30 mpg since dak has returned vs 27.6 for rush. so the defense isn't on the field more often and we definitely need to factor in the injuries to lewis and brown, insertion of joseph along with micah appearing to wear down

i don't know what the passrush win rate against the line was under rush because I've only just heard it trumpeted and don't care to dive too deeply into it. rush was sacked 5 times in 5 games though, and dak 10 times in the 8 since he's returned so 1 per game vs 1.25 per game. I wouldn't call that a large discrepancy especially accounting for the longer times of possession and more plays run.

pass happy, absolutely. and i agree its a negative, but it's also a given with a better qb, and not egregious considering we're running more as well.

I wish you could see Dak on a team that doesn't have this O-Line, receivers, or run game.

Ya'll opinion of him would change so much lol

And not for the better.....

 

[BoysForLife]

You are correct but I’m genuinely curious how a team can have almost the worst pass rush win rate and yet the least sacks and pressures in the league. That is the statistical poster child for “something doesn’t add up here”.

BOOM.

The pro Dak crowd will tell you it's Dak's mobility that creates the lack of sacks and pressures but that doesn't add up either.

5 of those games featured Cooper Rush under center. Not exactly fleet of foot.
And Dak isn't near as mobile as he used to be, not to mention his pocket presence and awareness lacks a lot as well.

And least pressures is another story entirely.
Theoretically a very agile QB with great pocket presence could evade sacks with pure instinct/awareness/athleticism

but pressure is pressure. And if the Cowboys are top 5 in least pressures allowed, as much as we pass, then the "pass rush win rate" stat is seriously flawed.

Dallas hasn't run screens well the past few years and haven't defended them well either

There is literally nothing that makes sense about this mysterious "pass block win rate" stat.

Every other related stat contradicts it, as well as the good old eye test.

Either the league has offensive lines playing at historical levels of greatness across the board, or this "advanced stat" calculated subjectively isn't as advanced as advertised.

The o-line has been a very pleasant surprise and is a major factor in the success of the offense.

 

[rambo2]

He is also 2 INTs away from leading the NFL in INTS this season.

He has missed 5 games.

He is still good. Your constant takes are ridiculous. Especially, after this Jags game. You have serious issues.

Prove the numbers wrong.

Just because you're a Dak over Dallas fan and don't like the reality of the situation it doesn't make it false.

We haven't run screens well or defended them well in a couple of decades is more like it.

 

[USArmyVet]

I only have adult dialogue in good faith. You have zero

Good comeback.....not.

 

[USArmyVet]

No it is the truth and you know it.

Yes, come playoff time, nothing else matters.
However, you know, and it is a fact, if we are bounced from the playoffs, they will be out in full force thumping their chest.

If Dak plays poorly and Dallas in bounced from the playoffs then the criticism is well deserved.

 

[USArmyVet]

Defense won 4 but Rush and his 1 TD a game

....and Dak and his 11 INT's in 9 games

You saw the Jag game. Which qb had a higher qbr rating? Dak or Lawrence? You claim that they can't win with that qb play? They win the game if they run the ball and make the Jags take their last timeout. They win the game if Wilson gets 1 finger on the pass that goes between his hands. They win the game if Brown catches the perfect pass on the last play that him perfectly. Your take is ridiculous and you have serious issues. The reality is that this team is 10 and 4. They have won 6 of their last 8. You said that they were not good and would win only 8 games. The reality is that you were absolutely wrong and now you claim that they will lose to a team with a losing record in the playoffs. Let's see how that goes.

I've been reading a ton of great posts with this topic like, 'can't make reads' or not enough time to find an open receiver or 'throwing off back foot' ... all of which is spot on. How about the fact that he isn't actually calling plays? Yes, he can audible but that's usually from a run called to one side or the other..IDK. Point is how about our OC call something where he doesn't have to make multiple reads or the roll-outs which he is good at. How many times did Rodgers roll out last night? OC needs some of the blame game.

I certainly have mentioned the problem with KM all season and have put the blame on him as much as Dak, the OL, or the WRs. There is an art or skill to play calling in the NFL, and he just doesn't have it. He belongs back at BSU calling gadget and trick plays against Southern Midwest University at Bismark.

"They win the game if this, this, and this happens" says every team ever.

They've not won 8 games with Dak.

My 8 win prediction was with Dak.

Therefore my prediction is probably going to prove to be true IF they can muster 2 more wins.

Lol, you are nuts.

 

[slick325]

Being completely honest, I am surprised by the fact that he will likely throw the most picks in his career in an abridged season. Prescott is not generally a turnover prone QB. He is generally risk averse.

On one hand, I like the aggression. On the other, I just want him to be efficient, make plays when needed, protect the ball and don't lose the game...in other words...drive the bus and get the team there safely.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Lol, you are nuts.

I can't control Dak not playing or not.

If Cooper Rush started the season my prediction would have been different.

I predicted 8 wins with Dak as the QB this season and we'll be lucky to get that.
