While everyone is crying about the No-Call on Furgeson

Notice also on that play that Dak flat out just locked in on Schoonmaker,

No, they are supposed to READ THE DEFENSE. Occasionally, you can decide when the D stays the same, but what if the D switches from Cover 2 to Cover 3...now what?

"LMAO" is right...

You read the defense pre-snap. If it is a 7-man pressure, ball comes out right away.

You don't know what you're talking about.

So, if the 1st read isn't open, then the play is tanked.
there are no progressions. It's one guy gets open or the play is ruined.

Who knew?

When a free rusher is coming at the QB, yeah, that's pretty much how it usually works. And in this case, the first read was open: he wasn't crazy wide open but he was certainly open enough that you make the throw.

Yes, this is why teams blitz.

Like do you even watch the play? Dak gets tagged by a free rusher.

It is a pre-snap read and he made the correct one.

It Doesn't Matter..After We Stopped Philly We Came Down And Scored Anyway On The Next Drive..Though Probably Lost Some Valuable Minutes

Yep, we could have not asked for a better setup to end the game with a TD and no time for Eagles to come back. Game was handed to us on a silver platter and we let it slip out of our hands!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Hmmm...Who would you look at? Cooks or Schoon?

Dak did not choose wisely.

I mean if you don’t trust him why is he out there? You trust all your options otherwise why be out there?

He was his first read, and with the free rusher coming at him, what would you have him do?

No matter what, I put Ferguson in the position to make the play there and Schoon as the decoy

I agree with you throw should have been made.
I don't agree that because a rusher breaks free, the play is automatically tanked

I watched Burrow many times last night move in the pocket to avoid pressure while keeping his eyes downfield to extend and make a play.
Average QB's struggle with that.
Great QB's make it look easy and instinctive.

THat's why you don't pay average QB's as if they were great QB's. But that's Jerry's call. Not mine.

I'm sorry, this is nuts. The receiver was open. Every QB makes that throw.

But the play worked lol. The execution was bad.

You’re missing the point. Those plays weren’t inside the five against a 7 man blitz. You’re just pitching dirt while people who know what they’re talking about explain it you and you respond like a brick wall.

Got it.

Thanks.

 

[BermyStar]

It wasn’t a blitz, they let Reddick come free.

I'm sure there was something in the play design that dictated the read, but the blitz coming from the right isn't typically the reason to go left. It's the exact opposite, the hot read is throwing into the space created by the Blitzer...hence the same side as the blitz, not the opposite.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Schoon is another wasted draft pick. Did you guys know the top 5 receivers yesterday were Cowboy players or former Cowboy players??? We have a great GM

 

[JD_KaPow]

Got it.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

My question is why is Shoon your first read? He should have been looking center or to the right and throw it quickly as pressure was coming. Dak made another huge mistake throwing it over Tolbert's head on 4th Down when Ferguson was open down the middle. Dak needs to use the guys who balled that game at that was Lamb and Ferguson. You shouldn't be throwing to Shoon and Tolbert. Dak balled yesterday and wasn't the reason we lost. The D can't allow 3 long drives like that and the Offense can't false start. Steele has to pick it up!!.

Im guessing the thought is 2 CBs will handle that rub/pick much better than 2 Ss. Who knows....of course the exact opposite happened.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Don't forget the Schoon holding penalty on the 18 yard run. Schoon and Taco 2.0 worst picks ever by the GMLess

 

[BermyStar]

I'm not really seeing what Ferg and Lamb did differently (outside of Baldy playing the Lamb clip at full speed, and Ferg's in slow-mo)?

Looks like they both went directly towards the defenders at about the same angle. One guy chose to go over the top (Lamb), the other guy came underneath (Ferg).

Perhaps Ferg should have ran a shallower angle since Schoon's route was flatter than Cooks' to force him to go up top?

Ferg going over the top meant the defender didn't have to go over the top. You want to force the defender over the top to create the space required.

 

[rambo2]

Too many important plays went to guys not named Lamb, Cooks, or Ferguson last night

Yep they only had 376 yards passing.
