The Raven’s should be proof Garrett and Linehan are not taking advantage of Dak’s skill set!

[starcity214]

Agreed, but I still feel he's not being fully used. I understand the caution for injury, but there's got to be a good 4-6 downs that Dak's legs could be used to the Cowboys advantage, especially in crucially needed 1st downs to keep drives alive and in the red zone. Dak is built like a linebacker. He can handle a few runs. It's what made him and his college team so successful at Mississippi State.

Really?

He looked real successful against Alabama and the other good defenses he played against in the SEC..

There was a reason Dak was a compensatory 4th round pick while guys from Community Colleges went 2nd overall..

That type of strategy won't work against a good defense. Gimmicks have come and gone but defenses to this day have trouble defending a pure pocket passer.

 

[lukin2006]

They opened up the playbook. I have read he has the 5-yard dump-off almost figured out. Dak is not starting QB material.

Different Era

Why don't you pull up the stats from the 1950's QBs while you're at it..

If running your QB was so effective, how the heck did Bellichick win 5 Super Bowls with the statue known as Tom Brady?!!

I could list all the "running QBs" that came and went but I don't have the time or desire..

This league is geared toward a QB that can throw from the pocket, and I know you will say that Dak can do that, but my question then becomes why do you want Dak to have designated runs?

The answer? Because Dak can't win on his arm alone at this point...

the solution would be to make him learn proper footwork (fix accuracy) and to make him learn to navigate the pocket instead of trying to take off at the first sight of pressure..

By letting Dak be a Running QB , you are stunting his growth and letting him get by on his athleticism but it won't last forever..

As I said, Dez Bryant comes to mind.

Baloney. You can do both at the same time while taking advantage of Dak's dual threat skillset right now when he's still young and healthy. The name of the game, especially in the playoffs, is to win at all costs. You can't expect your dual threat QB to suddenly successfully execute a handful of run plays during the playoffs if you don't prepare him during the regular season.

 

[Kevinicus]

Running 4-6 times a game is not considered being turned into a running back. Did you consider Roger Staubach a running back?

Only one of those was 4+ carries per game.

Now how many of those were kneels? Those teams won a lot. What do winning teams often do at the end of the game?

Once again, you are wrong. The data proves why...

Sep 19, 4:26 PM

"Dak Prescott ran for 19 yards in the Dallas Cowboys' opening week loss to the Carolina Panthers. They scored eight points in that game. He ran for 46 yards in their Week 2 win over the New York Giants. The Cowboys scored 20 points in that game. These numbers hold to a very strict trend. Prescott has run for more than 25 yards in a game 12 times in his career. The Cowboys are 10-2 in those games, and the two losses came last season, once in a game in which Tyron Smith, Ezekiel Elliott, Sean Lee and Chidobe Awuzie combined for eight snaps, and another in which Jason Garrett mismanaged the clock to lose the game, but the Cowboys still scored 31 points. He has run for 25 or fewer yards in 23 times in his career. The Cowboys are 13-10 in those matchups. The data doesn't lie. The Cowboys are a significantly better team when Prescott runs."

[Shneek814]

Then he wants to cripple Dak's effectiveness.

Why draft a running QB if you're not going to run him? I'm sure there were better pure passers available.

We drafted McGee too. And Quincy Carter. White is the first pure passer we drafted since Aikman.

After drafting only running QBs for a couple of decades, we decided QBs shouldn't run?

Clown Team.

Whose the clown bro? We lost one game lol. Gonna win the division. Gonna have a home playoff game. Be a fan man.

What do you guys even care? Y'all don't even like Dak, so what does it matter if he runs on some plays or not?

I already provided the data that shows the Cowboys (back in September) are 10-2 when Dak runs for more than 25 yards in a game, and they are 13-10 when he doesn't.

https://247sports.com/nfl/dallas-co...s-disagree-on-Dak-Prescott-running-122181128/

Almost sounds as if you guys want Dak and this Offense to fail?

 

[Shneek814]

First of all, Dak just runs backwards. He would be more effective if our play callers called QB draw plays. But instead he just gets sacked and fumbles when people touch him or get close.
And yall really want him to be a runner? Lol ***

 

[PAPPYDOG]

This is proof that @PAPPYDOG has 2 accounts in here.

Really news to me what a troll you are ......WRONG again on the payroll Dak poster....

 

[Captain-Crash]

dak was draft to be a backup, and maybe a long experiment

 

[America's Cowboy]

Really news to me what a troll you are ......WRONG...... again on the Cowboys franchise QB's (Dak) payroll poster....

Corrected it for you.

 

[Typhus]

Why are Garrett and Linehan handcuffing Dak? We need to take advantage of EVERYTHING Dak does well( designed runs on occasion, more RPO’s, more read options, the option, more no huddle early in games, etc., etc.)

The Raven’s have designed their offense around their rookie QB. Are we doing that for Dak? This coaching staff is not doing everything possible to make Dak and our Offense more successful!!!!

The coaches have time to fix this before the Playoffs. Will they?

Fear of getting Dak hurt prior to playoffs, is the only reason I can think of, from a rational standpoint.
I would expect Dak to be unleashed once we enter the post season.
If not, and all remains the same, than all the hammering on this staff is absolutely proven true.

 

[Aviano90]

These guys hate Dak so much they get excited over a Dak-like performance from other QBs just because they aren’t named Dak. The Commanders QB was getting a bunch of love yesterday too.

 

[visionary]

They don't wanna risk his trade value with an injury.

The Ravens should be proof that a team in the hunt is more highly motivated than a team that is in and great defense can beat great offenses. The question was asked, can they keep it up into the playoffs if they make it. Mostly the answer was no, at some point an opposing offense would score points on the Raven D and the Raven offense would have to step up. The question remains unanswered.

The Ravens have designed their game around running the ball effectively over their win streak and relying LESS on the QB to get them there. Old school football, the kind that features the running game and defense versus air-it-out offenses was mentioned over and over in the game. Keep the offense on the field with time consuming drives, keep the opposing offense off the field and when they are on the field, crush them with defense. Guess who's team is kinda, sorta similar. Ours. Is Lamar Jackson a better QB than Prescott, no. During the win streak have the Ravens coaches leaned on him to win games, no. Did he look OK last night, yes. Is he a media darling at the moment, yes. Will he be after a playoff loss, no. The media will point the finger squarely at the Ravens lack of offense. Sound familiar?

Prediction? Neither the air-it-out Chiefs nor the defense only Ravens will win a SB in 2018. One has little defense, the other little offense. Balance right

The fear is injuries. They were running him until the Commanders game. If I remember correctly they took his head off on a sidelines play. The reality is if Dak gets hurt we don't have a Flacco to put in the game. But its playoffs time. We need to run Dak.

It's going on a decade with Garrett. That being said, you should know the answer yourself to that one Captain.

Not really worried about the ravens situation. That will not work in the playoffs and they will probably the first eliminated.

Jackson is not built or ready for anything he is about to encounter in the playoffs.

Pretty sure he is, unless he has a twin named Dak.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

We dont want Dak to run, so that we can extend his career of below average passing atttack
