Seems like we have been less consistent running the ball but with more big runs this year. I think Connor William's is an excellent second level blocker which has helped get the big plays.

Williams really is doing well in space, and getting better overall. Just has to bulk up and get stronger against those big guys inside.

I totally agree. We did against the Lions. I hope we don't forget that.

Thats kinda what doesn't make sense with all the guys saying Dak doesn't throw an accurate deep ball. Add in the dimes he dropped to Austin and Elliott and I say let him throw it down the field 6-7 times a game at a minimum.

Any time a team goes to a single high safety it should be a thought.

We wanted McKinley over Charlton. Atlanta traded up to snag him. Ouch.

Ouch.

People can just stop with the whole Dak can't throw a deep ball thing. It's simply not true.

Cowboys C Joe Looney on his down-field block near goal line on Ezekiel Elliott's 38-yard TD on screen: "Everybody was just so surprised about how fast I was running & I told them, there was a little @krispykreme box down there that I saw & I had to go down there and get me one."

I think it's fair to say he struggles with intermediate routes.

Probably because those routes require a QB to throw with a lot more accuracy and anticipation due to there being more personnel that have to be accounted for when making those throws. Throwing in that 10-20 yard window requires QBs to have a higher understanding of where everyone's located, defenders included.

He struggles processing that information quickly and efficiently, IMO.

Now, this I would agree with.
