The refs didn't lose the game.


It's the refs fault Dak didn't see Cooks wide open.
I’ll give Dak a pass for not seeing Cooks on this one. This seems like one of those plays where you pretty much have to make up your mind where you’re going with the ball before the snap.

It’s a quick play with the receivers running short/hot routes in a condensed area. Not a lot of time to go through progressions in this scenario.

Based on the defense’s pre-snap alignment, he probably viewed Schoonmaker’s matchup as a surer thing.

That one certainly isn't on Dak. Dude completed the pass like he should have. You can say either A. defender tackled the TE before the ball was there which prevented the TD. Or you could say Schoonpoon screwed up by not getting slightly deeper in his route. That one isn't Daks fault either. The fact that he had two options that should have been a TD and he picked one and completed the pass says Dak did what he needed to do. The failure on that particular play is on Schoon and the ref.

It would be hard to not be an upgrade over that performance yesterday. That was Ball at RT bad. Of course Ball might be our next man up. I'm not sure.
I forgot about Ball.

His IR time should be up pretty soon, right? I haven't seen any recent updates about him.

Who are we sitting him for, Edoga?

We don't exactly have a legit upgrade available to us.
I would play Edoga at this point. Recall Tyron played the right side when Steele was injured, so that should be on the table also. We have options, Steele doesn’t appear to be the primary right now.
