And that's something he's struggled with most of his career. The fact that he was able to lead the offense to 30 points without the support of the running game is actually extremely impressive.
You're nuts, dude. The running game was stymied, and the passing game carried most of the load offensively. No turnovers. 30 points against a top defense. If Dak was incidental, then my name is Cletus and I live with my cousin-wife in Arkansas.
Just realized, based on those stats Dak had an 81.5 completion percentage against a great defense. That's crazy. The WCO definitely lends itself towards easy opportunities in the passing game.
We've seen big leads blown many times by the previous HC and OCs that having a coach actually protect the lead and trusting the defense is a breath of fresh air
That's kinda the point; the caliber of defense of NY's plus the fact that Zach Wilson sucks is why you don't get cute with a big lead.
They weren't likely to come back unless you start turning the ball over on offense, giving that putrid NY offense some life.
They had the game in hand and were playing it safe by design to protect the lead.
You remember the costly INTs last year in the same situations, don't you?
It's just crazy to come out of THIS game against THAT defense and want to pick apart Dak. And I'll admit I was pretty ticked off at Dak after the SF game.
Gotta give him a chance now that he has a real play caller.
Yeah, the offense was very good today. Outside of a couple of cutsy plays at the goal line that one drive, the play calling was great. Dak protected the ball, too.
Which I'm fine with. With this great defense, a ball control offense that doesn't turn it over can take you far. It's not like we're not scoring points, either.
