Does he? Cause we used to see Zeke running into 7-8 man boxes like it’s nothing quite consistently
Our run game was absolutely smothered in the playoff game vs Rams a couple years ago because Dak was content with just running the playcall that came through his headset the entire game.
Didn’t we go for it on 4th down like 2 or 3 times that game, come up short every single time, and every attempt was a 1yd run up the middle by Zeke that was stuffed? Specifically in the 4th quarter when it was 1 possession, we ran Zeke into a 20 man box. I need more from my $40mil man than that...
Every QB gets to the line and calls out the MIKE. That’s standard. I’m not giving Dak credit for that. It’s expected you recognize the front you’re facing and tell your linemen and RBs any slide or change in protection.
But when you see the corner come down to the edge and show blitz, is he taking advantage of his slot WR? I never see Dak flip or audible out of runs. He sent guys into motion for all of the first 3 games last season and then that disappeared, granted that’s likely a Kellen/Jason thing more than Dak. Can’t remember the last time I saw him take a step back from under center and bark out a change in play/route to his WR and subsequently throw his way after identifying a weak spot in coverage.
I just don’t see it, breh.
The center is supposed to change the protections. That's why Fredrick was so valuable.
And it's not Daks fault, the coaches didn't put a TE to at least chip Garrett to slow him down.
If you want to blame Dak, blame him for putting too much trust in his line and WR's. Especially the line. It is what it is.
Before, the knock on Dak was that you couldn't get behind because he wouldn't be able to get into a shootout to bring his team back. He's passed that test.
Unfortunately the talent around him has eroded.
And for people saying he's the reason Dez fell out... WHY hasn't another team signed him? He was always a poor route runner. And he's another player that once he got paid, his numbers were never elite again.
Dak Pickscott
Shout out to Dallas my bih is a star

What do you mean? At that point in the game? Idk you tell me.
I’m not saying it’s ALL Dak’s fault.
OLine is garbage, Zeke is fukking up weekly, Amari mailing it in on some plays, and the coaching is still trash.
Not to mention the historically awful defense.
I just don’t think Dak gets a pass for his own poor play and growth just because of those said deficiencies.
Dak is part of the mess just like everyone else. He has his good moments and good plays just like everyone else. And he be shytting the bed just like everyone else, imo.
And Dez is definitely washed at this point. Injury, years from football, etc. But idk if he was washed in 2017. Our front office sure did a great job with the smear campaign and releasing him after FA dollars were spent by all the teams who already filled holes. Man got done dirty by our FO, don’t see how that can be argued.

soph-sr year i was a 2 way starter the d and o line. i was also the long snapper for punts and fg's my only break was during kickoffs, i gave 110%. playing offensive line and having to pull on belly plays and etc, then turn around and play d tackle... funny thing i was never tired and never missed any plays. missed half a game with 2 dislocated fingers in all 4 years

if there not gone sign dak.. we can't sign dak expect to sign quality o line and d line and secondary. we need to stop signing these over the hill veterans who lost a step or 2.

cant trade zeke... too much dead cap space. far as Gallop we should've signed him over Cooper... cooper showed up only 50-60 percent of the time last year... and so far I seen him quit or stop his route which resulted in int's. dont get me wrong coop is nice. but gallup is a stud... hate to see him go off on another team next year.

Time to go!!
You mean we can’t keep missing on day 1 and day 2 picks

esp. if they're injury prone like jaylon and LVE.
They wanted Dez to take a pay cut. He initially refused. If he was that nice, a team would've at least kicked the tires on a trade. After he was released, if he was that nice, a team would've signed him. Antonio Brown got signed. I'm just saying. The Saints eventually picked him up but it didn't work out. The Ravens brought him in and it didn't pan out. Tape don't lie. He was never good at route running. He was a jump ball expert and I give him that. But most offenses don't rely on that. That's not something you can depend on every game. He relied too much on athleticism and once that was gone, he was basically a glorified TE. But even TE's ran better routes. But at least he got paid
I don’t even really care to cape for Dez like that at this point. It is what it is.They wanted Dez to take a pay cut. He initially refused.

Was simply illustrating the point of Romo with Dez TWill and Beasley was top 5-7 QBR. Dak with those guys and we had to bush all of them and bring in an entirely new WRs corps with the quickness.
Would y'all be for this?
