Dear Dan- turn Dak loose tomorrow

Let him play his game!

I don't think it's Dan that you need to convince

It's hard for me to believe that it's Mullen telling Dak not to ever take a shot downfield or to not take off when you have 20 yards of open field in front of you.

I love Prescott, and I don't in any way think that he's doing anything other than trying to win ballgames. That said, it's plain as day that he's altered his game with an NFL career in mind and unfortunately for us, it's hurt our offensive production at times. Not as much our pathetic running game, mind you, but it has hurt

 

[Dan Mullen]

Ok

I'm not convinced it's either one of them. Defenses know that Dak is a threat to run and have prepped to stop it. If we had a halfway decent option at RB, then that takes pressure off Dak and gives the running game another dimension.
Right now we're asking him to be elusive, read defenses and check down receivers PLUS be our running game. Big load. If we had a punishing back like JRob in the backfield then you'd see more highlight reel runs from Dak. But absent a legit back to pound the ball AND an OL to open up a lane for him, we're a pass first offense folks.

It's not Dan. Our ****** run blocking and lack of a competent RB is why Dak isn't performing like we all expected. I wish we'd go strait air raid and go with it as far as we can. Our best players on offense are receivers so let the best players make plays. We've played some horrible run defenses and couldn't produce anything halfway through the season so stop kidding yourself into thinking it might get done this week. We suck at running and will in every game. Dump the run and air it out. Go Mike Leach on them and a running lane will open every now and then for Dak

The key indicator will be whether or not we have the lead at the half time

Not how many rushing yards we invariably won't have. Dan's only lost once since he's been our HC when having the lead at half time.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Wouldn't the running game help us have more points at halftime though? I mean of course if we are beating them half way through the game we should win.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Sure, if our run blocking isn't piss poor........

We'll know at the end of the 1st QTR what type of day it's going to be.
