The Cowboys need to get back to a power-running game

Cross your fingers Hampton or Johnson gets to our 2nd rd pick, they are ideal bell cow fits.

Build the foundation. Draft OL/DL first three rounds. RB round four..

i prefer this but if one slides im good with an over value in the third maybe second depending, round 4 will be tough do we even have a 4th?

we can use a couple of the fifth rd picks to move up to the fourth. Honestly, considering how few fifth rd and later picks even make the roster after their rookie year, let along become difference makers, I would be happy using all those late rd picks to move up.

ZONE BLOCKING

 

[Hawkeye19]

Specific scheme fits for Klayton's run. System.

RJ Harvey
Skatterbo
Omarion Hampton
Judkins

Give me Skatterbo. I love that kid. We need a dawg. I don’t care about his 40 time.

Power running game tends to work best with a QB that has the ability to make you pay for stacking the box with defenders.

Scrub RBs don’t work.

I don't get the Skat love. Absolutely a fantastic college player but is a projected 5th to 6th rounder and isn't on any top personnel guys top 10 RBs in this draft nor did he make many of their top 150 prospects. He's tiny and slow and ASU reports him as 5'11. If he's 5'11 I'm 7'3

Yea, he seems more in the 5'9" range for sure but until the combine I guess we don't really know. Drew Brees was a legit 6' (some listings had him at 6'1") but you had people swearing he was only 5'10"......I suppose he could be 215lbs though

Dylan Sampson in the 2nd
Damien Martin in the 5th

But where, that is the question. I agree with that dawg mentality, that is what I love about him the most.

You really think Sampson goes in the 2nd? Honest question no snark intended (my disclaimer)

 

[Gambit]

Scrub RBs don’t work.

Well, we don't have a 4th, but 4th round RB's are not scrubs. LOL

ZONE BLOCKING

Inside, outside, wide? Which type of zone blocking?
Having asked that, you will see a ton of zone schemes with these new coaches. Excited to see how it all gels.

Well, the type is going to depend on the running back and what his abilities are. The main thing I am concerned about is blocking an area instead of a man, because man blocking in today's NFl with defenses shifting all over the place just isn't cutting it.

This is true ,

so why would we pay a bus driver the second highest salary in NFL history ?

Skatterbo is a good pick if we are planning on keeping Dowdle as our primary back and using Skatman as a blocker and Pass Pro type of RB. He has the frame and skills to block and also catch.

 

[Bullflop]

Yeah, a power running game is really what I've been wanting for us lately!
It offers a steady progression of moving the sticks for controlling the game!

 

[Bullflop]

They have no shot unless they have a power running game. They need to hide their 60million dollar QB.

I concur! A power running game is really a magic ingredient to controlling the game.

A steady moving of the chains is a sure road to success. Also, nice support for Dak.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Maybe posted before, but pulling of two linemen is cool to watch. Definitely can't have any slow linemen.

I can't stop watching this.
