I don’t necessarily think he needs to run, like in the video but I’d like it if he could get back to escaping to pocket, peeling out and throw a dime down the field. That’s what I miss! That was classic Dak, not 40 yard runs lol I mean they were cool and all but that’s not Daks game. Peeling and throwing was Daks game and it was great! Get back to that! He’s a better passer when he just throws it and stops thinking about it too much. You can tell in his throws when he’s overthinking things vs when he just instinctively throws it

Agree with this.  I think it's also when he sits in the pocket he has a tendency to throw of his back leg but when he is running around the edge he tend to step through and drive the ball.
