Prescott's Physique: Foreshadowing for the Future?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Will we throw more next year? Yes Will we be a pass happy, pass first team? No

Peace & Blessings to you all

[BeastMan]

Definitely. That's part of it. He's obviously been working hard on his passing and decision making. It doesn't mean we're going to be a pass-centric offense though.

I think the guy is just trying to be a better player overall. Physically, mentally and anything else he can do to be a better player. That's why we love him.

So you said you disagreed and we've debates the whole thread to essentially agree. Ha.

Thanks Dan. Put Chris on a family sharing plan with you so you can monitor his life talks.

had to get that one in there

But that doesn't mean they ever stop trying....

You're a certain kind of special, aren't ya? You realize we can pass more than we did last season but still not be "pass-centric", right? I.e., instead of being 60-40 run-pass, we may be 55-45. That's "more pass-centric" but still not "pass-centric" in terms of being "pass first" which is how you're interpreting it. We're still going to be very much a physical, run-first team. That's what makes our offense work. Holy shit, I can't believe I'm having to explain this on a pee wee football level.

Disagree completely. If he's getting in better shape that helps the running game. Which is a good thing. If he's dropping weight we are planning on him running more, that's a no brainer. If we were going to throw it more he damn sure didn't need to lose weight.

Okay, man.

You done figured it out. We're going to be a pass-centric, run-first team. Thanks for that wonderful explanation. Oxymoronic explanation, but if it makes sense to you ... I guess I'll be satisfied with knowing you did the best you could.

Thank you.

I guess I have a completely different opinion on this. I don't think that Dak slimming down means he will run more. I feel he's getting ready for the pros. Will we run less this year? No, we'll just run more RBs and speed sweeps (if we can ever make it to the edge), but I think Dak will run less. The threat of him running, and he will run don't get me wrong, will keep defenses honest. Those 3rd and less than 3 are no longer guaranteed to be a Dak run. We've got big RBs to get that and I know Shump won't shy away from contact.

I fully expect to see some "highlight reel" runs from Dak in the big games, but still the heavy lifting will go to the RB platoon.

I want to see how all of this figures into the passing game. If he's improved his fundamentals for the pros, we are in for a treat this year.

Stay healthy Dak!

Tim Tebow had to change his body type for the NFL. Getting too bulky made him less fluid. There is a reason that pitchers and QBs have more of a long lean look. Getting as big as possible isn't always the best for what you are doing.

[State82]

The name of the article is Prescott's Pysique. It's not "Dak lost 15 lbs". Dak's physique has changed. its a discussion about if the change in Pysique is a signal to anything.

Bingo. I think it's all good.

[Liverpooldawg]

I heard Dak changed his haircut. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?**** The season needs to hurry up and get here so we can find out what we really need to be worried about, if anything.

[Dawgcentral]

Not worried about Dak losing a few pounds. 8-10 pounds won't make him less of a running threat, nor make him more vulnerable to taking a hit. Getting hit from a particular direction, or an impact that's low and from the side is more of a concern. That can hurt a 250-300 lb player just as easily.

If Dak has a slightly quicker first step that's a bonus. If he's more flexible that's also a bonus.

Dak will run well and pass well. We're going to run and pass JUST like last year, only hopefully, we'll do both even more successfully. I don't believe Dak's losing weight to make a better NFL presentation. That will only happen with better reads through his film study, and better communication between him and his targets. A re-introduction of the screen passes will also keep defenses off balance.

[Pollodawg]

This is how it works, say Dak has Bear deep, Fred Ross on the intermediary pass, and Gus Walley on a curl toward the sideline for 5 or so yards. Say Bear and Ross are covered. It takes being able to change his arm motion, hips, core, and feet to make the short throw, the intermediate throw, and the long ball. Losing muscle mass will make him able to change his angles and whatnot for more effective passes, not to mention make him faster.

[Pollodawg]

As his body becomes more fluid and less bulky, it'll get easier for him to maneuver in the pocket and make the necessary changes to his arm angle and feet and whatnot.

I asked Bob Carskadon about Dak being leaner:

He says Dak is leaner on the instruction of the staff. It was a plan to improve his conditioning and flexibility.

So you believe me now? Now why would the staff want him more flexible?

ETA- What is the time stamp? I have listened all throughout that and haven't found it

[MSUDawg4Life]

I know! I know!

Because we're going to change our offense to the run-and-shoot.

Do I get a gold star for today?

It was somewhere near the beginning of ABC. Somewhere between 15:00 and 30:00.

Bob says the staff is trying to make him more durable. Flexibility can help prevent injury, especially soft tissue injury.

I didn't disbelieve you before. I just said I wouldn't tell that Dak had gotten leaner.
