Throw it deep!

[links18]

Dak missed Gallup on another deep throw.

Not the best pass, but Gallup should have caught that.

I think that pass was deflected a little bit.

No it wasn't Dak was rolling out and there was no one near him when he threw the ball

On passes that travel more than 10 yards, Dak has 5 TDs and 8 INTs.

That’s just not playing to the strengths of this offense. One of the reasons Rush was successful was because the offense is built to benefit from his limited abilities as a passer. Passing to the sticks, short yardage slants and HB options, wheel routes, dig routes and comebackers.

Gallup is coming back from injury, no one believes he’s 100% yet. CeeDee is having a strong year, but his skills equate to a more dominant slot player than a downfield outside guy like Gallup. Your franchise tight end when healthy has a special connection with Dak. And your RB duo may be the premier skill group on your team, both in the run game and the pass game with Pollard specifically.

Dallas has huge offensive advantages over many teams in the league; downfield passing is not one of the stronger ones. Do what has been winning you football games, not what is flashier.

He had 11 passes deflected yesterday…..the league high previously was 6.

not sure what to make of it

Yeah it was probably another pass I was thinking of, as just posted, he had quite a few of them.

That’s bs. Lot times they were loading the box. That’s why you get paid big $. Scheme players open. Piss poor play calling.

@cowboysny is correct. Scheming players open does not mean going deep vs a shell cover-2 defense.

we need to run, we need to throw deep balls? yet Dallas is 10-3 what dallas needs is better fans who have a clue. Glad you guys are not calling plays. lol

No one on this forum predicted the Cowboys would 10-3 and playing as well as they are this year.

But they are still doing it all wrong.

Dak is not a deep ball thrower. I discussed this prior to the season. It would be a great asset to keep defenses uncomfortable but we have what we have. Even when I went back to pull video from an old game the other day, announcers were saying that we don't throw the ball deep often.

 

[noshame]

I don't think the receivers had time to get deep.
It was strange as Dak was under pressure. And our defense didn't even touch their QB's. 1st game where defense did not have a sack.

However the run defense came up big when really needed.

Ok I try to look the other way out of respect at times
But come on, Dak had all day to throw for the past 2 weeks.
He is simply afraid to pull the trigger. Seriously sometimes I think we're watching games in alternate universes

We are limited by the quarterback. I don't know why this has to be questioned over and over. He threw one deep ball to Noah Brown which Noah Brown had to turn around run back 5 yards and dive to make the catch

WRONG!!!

The QB is not limiting us at all. Let's stop with the bull already. The Offense under this same QB was leading the NFL in points scored for the previous 5 games, so just stop with the BS already.

Well. I was going to post a thread on this. But since you beat me at it-what's the point? Great observation on your part. Everyone talks about Dak-yet no one talks about the guy on the sidelines. Kellen Moore. Who IMO is a worse problem than Dak Prescott. Not only to we not throw it deep. We have no crossing routes. We rarely throw Michael Irvin type slants. We always sucked at screens. I mean when was the last time you just send a guy deep. Ours versus yours one on one deepAnd that's my biggest fear going forward. Our uninspired coaching on both sides of the ball. But again. Nice beat me to post it first post by you.

What a ridiculous statement. Go look at Dak's history. Most of his seasons, he has made his best throws and accuracy throwing deep. This year's problem is we simply don't have the speed and height to throw deep consistently, plus our Oline keeps struggling to give Dak enough time on deep routes called.

 

[kskboys]

Kellen seems scared to call a passing play more than 12-15 yards down field. I'll never understand why. Dak/Rush are the least sacked QB in the league. Open up the offense and make it easier on the running game. I completely HATE watching them run against 8-9 man fronts.

And scared to throw less than 10 yds also.

 

[Doomsday]

Part of the problem is this team refuses to attack the outside of the field, almost everything is in the middle of the field.

On the final drive, Dak hit 2 big throws to the outside of the field, one to Gallup behind the corner and in front of the safety and the other was a corner route to Brown.

Dak always underthrows or overthrows badly on long passes. On rare occasions he will hit a receiver in stride. It's just the way it is.

 

[bewp7]

dak can’t throw deep

look at the # anything over 10 and he is bottom of the league

Bingo. Stop with forcing everything in middle.

Pretty evident Dak can’t throw the deep ball

You mean the throw Dak made, on the run, that was 51 yards in the air!!!! Yeah... a terrible throw! SMH
