So, it must not be that easy for Dak either then, because this defense isn't consistently good enough for Dak not to have to be a hero.
Between the offensive line injuries, the inconsistent defense at every level (line, LB and DBs) and Zeke still trying to get back to his championship form, I think A LOT falls on Dak.
Yes, a lot fell on Romo too, but some years he had pretty good defenses. Romo didn't ALWAYS have to be a hero, and they tried to reign him in at times so he didn't have to be. Dak doesn't always have to be a hero either, but some games he does....and if he fails, they lose. Just like when Romo failed, they lost.
