He's one of my favorite players, but I think he has too much freedom. He needs a coach who isn't his friend the way kellen is. How do you listen to a guy who was your backup.
I've said this for awhile, Dak has too much Romo in him. He's going to try and make every play a bigger play. He doesn't have a coach who I can see that's getting in his ***. A coach who is telling him cut the bull and take what they're going to give you.
In that niner game Purdy struggled for 3 quarters too. But he stuck to their gameplan and took what they gave HIM. When Dallas started to wear down he made a play. He wasn't better just more patient. But he does have way better coaches.
I think Daks biggest struggle with zone is the plays Kellen calls. As a poster I read here post, Kellen calls comebacks and outs religiously. And alot of them in bunch formations. So the cbs are sitting off the ball already in position to jump the throw. The good cbs will see this coming and make easy plays. And that's what we saw the last 9 weeks. Yes there are times when it's just a horrible Dak decision like the int vs Washington and the 2nd int vs the niners. Those were some of the worse throws I have ever seen. But Kellens scheme is the biggest problem.
Dak needs a guy like Parcells. When Dak is throwing them bad passes, I hear Parcells telling Romo, "Tony you gotta have a mental clock in your head. If it's not there get rid of it. Throw it in the stands idc, because a throw away is better than a negative play".
Niners were off balance in the first half because Dak was running. In the 2nd half he was toast. Dak was rattled when pollard got hurt, when he saw that Elliot couldn't move the ball he should've taken a few runs to keep the niners honest. That would've kept them honest. Because all they didn in the 2nd half was sit on the routes because they knew Dallas didn't have the speed threat in the backfield. Imo they should've played Davis for a change of pace. But I don't think he went into the game. Did he?
