Dak got flushed out of the pocket from the other side and scrambled/improvised past Taven before Taven realized the pocket had been vacated and Dak was racing right past him.  Not a very alert play from Bryan, but not that bad really. He was focused too much on getting off the block and didn't see the QB take off. 
Seems like some standard rookie type stuff.

I guess man. If we're talking about the same play. All I know is on replay, Taven did a full 360 looking around in front off an OL guy. Probably looking for the QB that was running out in the flat sure, but didn't seem to locate him, ever lol
Just looking lost in general, rookie stuff? Sure... but why is he in the game when we're getting whooped? More coaching questions to me more than a knock on Taven. I never expected him to be much more than part time rotation... it seems Campbell has been dinged more than normal and probably forced Bryan into more snaps than they planned, but then... why is Smoot inactive altogether, wouldn't the vet be better if the rookie is too green?

We're talking about the same play.  he did the full 360 after finally getting off his block and didn't see Dak zooming to the sideline. He wouldn't have been able to catch him even if he did see him at that point. 

Just seemed like good blocking from the left side of Dallas' line to me. I guess if you wanted to you could read into it that Taven has some awareness issue or something, but I didn't get that. 

The fact that a LB or safety couldn't get over there to stop Dak from sprinting up the sideline for 28 yards was a greater concern to me personally.
