When Dez is one on one and deep

[Zekeats]

Why do our QBs never give him a chance on the ball? All I ever here about is Dezs great ball skills to go along with his jumping ability and all the time the ball is thrown 5 yards out of bounds.

 

[Clove]

Ball thrown in end zone, instead of jumping to beat his man to the ball, he allowed the corner to corner him and tried to just catch it like mortal wide receivers.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Its the QB's fault for not giving him a chance to make that catch. But the Dez haters will use that target as a knock against him anyways...

Every single WR on this team is having a down year. The cheerleaders don't want to acknowledge as to why that is. The answer is obvious if inconvenient.

I don't think there is a QB in the league that throws a less catchable ball than Dak throws to Dez. I really don't know what the problem is.

Dak is too worried about the interception in my opinion. It took Romo a few years to truly trust Dez in one on one situations too. Tony did eventually learn exactly where Dez likes the ball. Dak still has to learn that.

Right. Prescott's greatest strength is also a hindrance. He avoids mistakes at the cost of making plays. He's not looking to throw the ball into tight coverage and Dez has trouble separating. So do the math.

He very often runs himself out of bounds giving the QB no option.

He will literally be out of bounds before the ball arrives on many snaps.

Why don't these problems happen with other receivers? Dak gets the ball to Witten in tight coverage.

Dak gets the ball to Witten when he is tightly covered...

And Romo was never afraid of trying to make a play. It’s no coincidence that Dez had his best years with Romo.

Not really.

Because Romo explained the route to Dez before each play.

Romo: Dez, don't worry about the play call. Just line up over there, count to 5 while running then turn towards the sideline and look back.

Romo: This time count to 3 and turn away from the sideline.

Romo: Stand at the line and I'll throw it to you.

That was a good attempt at humor. Too long, repetitive, though.

Because he is rarely open deep.

 

[TheCount]

Dak needs to work on that throw for sure, but he's also risk averse.

 

[Zman5]

I don't think he was joking.

 

[The Dark Bishop]

Question, How often do we try using Brice and Twill on the outside, with Dez at the slot? It would glog up the middle for both Dez and Witten but would open up 1 on 1's for the outside receivers.

Dak is on pace for 3,586 yards and 32 TD’s passing.

Who is catching the ball for all those yards and touchdowns, when “every WR” on the team is having a down year?

Spot on. This is why, without Zeke, this offense will struggle. More 3rd & longs and he doesnt want to fit the ball in to tight windows.


I expect the we want romo back chants to start up again over these next 6 weeks...

3500 yards passing is not anything to write home about.

He is 17th in passing yards per game...
