And while everyone may be thinking Elliot with 2 TE run/pass option type stuff, don;t forget that in 2014 Romo was devastating out of the S02 formation with Dez, Williams, Bease, Witt, and Escobar. Dak is quite capable of running that and Gathers could be a significant weapon in that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more than anything, it's about making the defense decide whether they have their LB's in, or secondary personnel. You get them in with the LB's, you can motion Gathers out or to the opposite side, and then play the percentages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Ive said it before and I will say it again: Dak =/= Romo - his game closely models someone else though. Dak looks like a young Tom Brady to me. And Tom is deadly in the 5 wide/2TE quick pass game. I think Dak could be also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many comebacks did he lead us to last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying he will ever be on that level, but they play similar. Alex Smith kinda has that same style too - but he is more athletic than the other two with less deep throwing ability.

I hope he is We'll see how he's progressed when the season opens especially with Elliott suspended (assuming it holds up). If they're getting Gathers more involved in 2 TE sets, a 5 Wide/2 TE quick passing game would be something Dak could run well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPJ Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think he will be similar to Escobar this year. 10-15 catches 150 yards but 4-5 TDs. Should be a monster in the redzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
