Prescott without big-name wide receivers

[Ranched]

These so-called "big name receivers" earned it. That's how they became a big name receiver. It wasn't given to them that's for sure.

I'm just curious why you are soooo confident it will be different this season. I have no idea how the season will go, but apparently your magic 8-ball has already shown you the future. Good for you....

It's much better than it was in 2018. How many of those food service workers we were running out at WR before we traded for Cooper are even in the NFL now? We had a young Gallup, the ghost of Jason Witten and nothing else. This year we have Lamb, Tolbert, Fehoko, Washington, Gallup, Schultz, Ferguson and Houston.

You're a troll and a kid.

No offense AC - but I have a kid and you are insulting my and every other kid by calling this thing a kid. So please if we could, leave the kids out of this one.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You're a troll and a kid.

Imagine if I really was a kid and was constantly schooling you like this.

You thinking I'm a "kid" makes it look even worse for you.

Dark has good receivers and is better than the pre-cooper receiving group...

If Dak is the QB he wants go be then he should be fine with the offensive weapons he has been provided. If he struggles then moving on from him at the end of this contract should be an easy decision. Hold the 40 million dollar man accountable...

After game 7 which is when Dak & the offensive line went to crap, the Cowboys only won against the division Atlanta & the Saints. In summary, they won because having a pulse and showing up was 3/4 of the battle.

Yeah Dak was not the same after his injury. I think it took something out of him. I blame it on Moore most of all. He doesn't know how to call run plays when warranted.

And our oline was a total mess. That also contributed to the downfall.

Personally I love it, we don’t need big-name receivers ,we’re going to make our receivers have big names. CD lamb Exception.
Free agency prima donnas. I’ve always said keep them, let somebody else have that price tag .
I hope I’m right . maybe Jerry Jones and Company finally learned how to do things.
Lol not that they didn’t before , we have championships , but it’s been a while. Obviously.
Smash mouth, control the ball, dink and dunk football. That’s what works best for Prescott it always has.
I have a feeling we’re going to get back to it. Go cowboys can’t wait for the season.

Lamb and Shultz are definitely great pass catchers at their respective positions. Gallup when healthy is a great #2.

Lets just say we disagree.

Prescott is best in a spread, hurry up offense. One of the better deep throwing QB's in the NFL.

Didnt really have much to do with his injury to be honest. It was other factors. Obvious factors that played a much bigger part.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Mind the OL though.
Holes have to open for any and every RB.

More so for Zeke. As most of us know he doesnt have the speed or ability to make plays on his own.

It's a great premise, but do we have the o-line to get this done? I would like to believe we do, but Biadasz and McGovern and Ball have something to say to you.

He does look like he's running through mud lately.
Ah well. This will most likely be his last year here unless the Jones pull a full-on "Jones".

Can you imagine tripling down on the mistake of drafting Zeke at #4.

Can you imagine tripling down on the mistake of drafting Zeke at #4.

Would you be completely shocked?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Would you be completely shocked?

I would be shocked that anyone could actually be that stupid. Just the pure awe of that kind of mistake would be shocking. But after getting over the initial surprise it would probably all make sense.

You must have loved the team before Cooper was brought in. I knew that Jerry had a short memory. Now I know that fans have even a shorter memory. Dak has not improved the play of any WRs. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Dak will totally stink it up if the WRs are not good enough to bail him out. I should have known that certain fans have little to no memory. Everybody saw just how bad Dak played in the 49er playoff game. In the last month or so, these fans have totally forgot that game and they think that the rest of us has forgotten the sorry level of play, which was led by Dak.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Thats why the team was so successful early on last season. The problems began when teams started forcing Dak to win games with his arm. Dak can't do this, he needs things to operate like the bolded part above.

Once again teams actually dared us to run the ball on light fronts and went full cover....complete opposite of what your saying. Now saying Dak and the offense could not move the ball on 5-6 man fronts and full zone coverage that would be accurate. Early in the season when teams were stacking the box and blitzing..the offense was moving very well.

I think you're right but you're oversimplifying. Teams come out in run heavy look in order to induce the audible to pass then drop into coverage. It works because Moore plays "paint by numbers" a lot of the time on offense. Meaning there's a lot of "if you see this, automatically do this" reads. The problem is that good DCs know that so they know what looks to give to get us out of our runs and then they know what types of route combinations we run against those looks making our offense easier to defend. It's like playing chess against a computer. The computer has a standard set of programmed moves based on the board and your move and will almost always follow that. So if you play the computer long enough you can beat it. Human beings don't follow formulas so you can't always beat them using predetermined strategy. The task of beating that falls on Dak IMHO because I don't think Moore will ever learn at this point. But Dak needs to get better at seeing the defense is trying to bait him and act accordingly. He also has to stop "getting greedy" holding the ball trying to wait for someone to get open against a 7 or 8 man drop. If they drop and leave him 7-8 yards of open field he needs to take it. Do that a few times and they will stop that crap and the offense will get back to moving at will.

Let's all pull 'em out and see which is the biggest!

The original premise of this thread was sophomoric.

The chest pounding since clearly has taken a turn for the worse.

Offense is built around playmakers. If that fact seems to have eluded you, perhaps you should try a self imposed vacation from exposing your gap in football knowledge here.

 

[Rockport]

This guy loved the 2018 pre-Cooper version of Dak.

Dak obsessed troll.

Guess where Cooper played his best football?
