Speculation: Dez cursing coaches before the play?

[erod]

You might have missed this. I was at the game and saw it first hand.

Early in the game, Dallas was in the red zone and coming to the line for a play. Dez started waving his arms wildly toward the sideline from the far side of the field. He looked angry.

Then, Zeke took a handoff for a few yards. After the play, Dez starts up again, like he's cursing the sideline.

It looked like he was mad because they didn't call a pass play. If so, does that not tell the opponent basically that Dallas is about to run the football?

Not sure if anyone else caught that, or if it was evident on TV. I think it was on the first or second touchdown drive, and it was in the red zone for sure.

So you could actually hear the cussing? So many times ESPN would report he's blowing up on the sideline when it fact he was hyping his teammates.

I missed this so, I wonder if there is a video

We've seen Dez look like he was going off on everyone before and then we heard the actual audio and it was quite the opposite so I wouldn't speculate.

It was right before the play as he was going out to his wide receiver spot. He was waving wildly to the sideline before the snap, then after the play.

But this was right before the play. He was basically telling the Packers, "we called a run play, and I'm pissed!" right before the snap.

Only if you assume that he was mad about it not being a pass play

I didn't see it but it wouldn't surprise me.

I don’t blame him. I was cussing at the coaching staff too. I wish he would bodyslam Garrett.

Reading into a little? I'd like to hear Dez' explanation before drawing too many conclusions.

I didn't see this but it is uncommon for an open WR to try and get what they call Hootie Who (WR recognizes coverage and tries to get the QB's attention to the miss match). Carson Palmer and Fitz used this well in the past (not now obviously)

Is this what we are doing now?
We are taking the eagles fans position at the bottom I guess.

 

[gmoney112]

He could have just as easily been calling out the defensive scheme

 

[KingintheNorth]

An NFL WR was upset because the team didn't throw him the ball?

Unheard of.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I think you’re reading into this a little much.

At this point in the season, Dez has been wide open for more than a couple of plays, and ignored. Also, a couple of plays had bad throws where large real estate potential was involved. I think he is entitled to expectations at the least.

Until we use Dez correctly this soap opera will continue.

 

[Zordon]

Not sure what OP is talking about but I've noticed that Dez does a lot of things that tip off the other team to run/pass plays. You can see it in his body language leaving the huddle.

He was trying to get Dak's attention so that he would audible. It happens all the time.
