The Dak Effect - 49 points

[plasticman]

I don't think it's a coincidence that our run game and offense in general looked like this with Zeke in street clothes.

...and a healthy Dak starting with the rust brushed off.

People have always talked about slow starts for dak sometimes. I think the key to him playing a complete game is getting him into rhythm. When he's using his legs like he did today he gets into rhythm. Its about confidence. Picking up a couple of those key first downs early helps him get into the game. Thats when he's at his best.

Use more designed runs, read options. Its tough for the D to stop and it works. Especially with the personnel we have.

I honestly think the 2nd drive going no huddle was part of getting him in a groove.

So Parsons TD gets credited to Dak?

5 known haters liked your comment. A few wisely choose not to like your comment because of watchful eyes. Lol

So instead of giving where credit is due, like I did with Pollard because I'm a huge Zeke fan, you want to nitpick??

I’m one of biggest Dak critics on here. With the exception of the one throw, he played a great game today. The biggest difference was he ran today. I’ve also preached he has to run some to be effective. That’s how he succeeded at Ms.St. inDan Mullen’s offense. IF he can stay healthy mixing in the run, we have a shot if the defense can contain a running QB. We really need help at LVEs position. He showed up and made a couple plays today but he gives up so much vs the rush. Thus our defensive ranking vs the run. My 2 cents….

The Tony Pollard effect, too.
Dak played a great first half, but it’s disingenuous to give him all of the credit for 49 points.

Both players were factors

He played pretty good today. That interception was bone head though.

Where was the Dak effect in game one against the Bucs?

Dak played very well today.

You also have to give Moore credit for the quick hitting tempo and play selection. He only tried to screw it up once or twice with a handoff to a WR. He didn't get too crazy though.

I can't blame the call for the interception. You've got a veteran QB, you've got time to take a shot. You have to trust your QB to take it if it is there, or eat it if it's not.

Overall, I have no complaints about Dak today. He got a lot of help and he did his job very well.

i do not think that the cowboys score 49 points with rush. prescott made ten really good tight throws that rush does not have the arm to make. the oline played its best game since the giants game that helped alot. the interception was the only bad throw today from dak. if he puts a little more air in the throw lamb would have had maybe a touchdown with.

It was a joke

I guess game one is the only game that counts this year. Interesting..

They need to scrap that fake toss to the RB, then hand it to the RB crap. The idea of a fake is to draw attention away from what you're actually doing. This idiotic play actually brings the defense to the RB sooner.

Rush would've score 50.

I can usually see the logic in his trick stuff but that one escapes me too. If I could ask him one question I would ask him to explain that craziness.

 

[Risen Star]

Where was the Dak "effect" against the Bucs?

Where was it against the Lions?

But I get it. You're desperate.

I could mmaaaayyyybbbeeee see if Dak faked the toss, then cut sharply away to make the defense think he was keeping it, but then he wouldn't be able to hand it off.

 

[cnuball21]

Dak is still kicking off the rust and is yet to play up to his standard and the last 2 weeks he’s still looked better than Rush’s ceiling. The fact people were taking about a debate is laughable.

If we can continue to run the ball well and get into a rhythm down the stretch we’ll have a top 10 offense. Still really think we need to add a WR though:

It's like designing a double reverse where the RB hands it to the WR going the other way who then hands it to another WR running right next to him in the same direction.

Qbs have bad games, sort of like when Brady was held to 3 against the Panthers. They should have played Dak in preseason and got him in game experience.
