fellow cowboy zoners----- watched games as you all have watched also...listened to some commentators

( be careful who you listen to )....but after watching again similar issue we have of not being able to

run block well....makes us one dimensional...and Dak appears not fully recovered from calf

his mechanics have slipped.....can we rest and re-adjust in this 10 day mini bye to be the team we watched

when we went 6-1????

thank you fellow zoners

Yes the run blocking is killing us. I think (not positive) the Chargers had a similar game plan to the Saints. However, we were able to run and have success.

The Saints dared us to run, and we crapped the bed. We need to see more TP if Zeke ain't right. We actually need more TP period.

Yes...there's a blueprint to beat every team in the league. It's just a matter of what teams have the players and coaches to use the blueprint to beat them. Every team knows that their chances of beating the Cowboys is much better if they stop the run. Do that and then be physical with the WRs will disrupt Dak and the rhythm of the passing game.

The Broncos, Raiders, Saints, and KC knew what to do. The Saints did not have an offense to make them pay though. But just because there is a blueprint doesn't mean the Cowboys still couldn't win. Every game is a battle of ups and downs. Even despite all the offensive struggles, the offense still had a chance to beat KC and Raiders but they didn't make the plays when it mattered.

Not every game is going to be a pretty offensive performance. You still have to figure out how to grind out a win when an opponent comes out with a great gameplan against you.

I think there is a blue print on the current state of the Cowboys. At full health this unit is tough to stop though. Oline is banged up, Missing Coop, missing Lamb, Dak may or may not be 100%, Zeke clearly isnt healthy. Right now teams are able to stack what feels like 10 in the box, tight man coverage on the outside, and force Dak to make a play on tight coverage under quick pressure. So far he hasnt been able to do so consistently. There are a lot of issues with this offense right now, but I think if they can fix the short/intermediate passing game the rest of the offense will pick up as well.

the blueprint goes out the window once Dak considers running about once a quarter. I am sure he has been told to preserve himself for later in the season, good luck to anyone from the FO/Coaching tree for admitting that.

There certainly is. We’ve been putrid on offense and teams are going to continue challenging us in the same ways.

Seems like stopping the run combined with our awful oline and being physical with our WRs is working, maybe that stops when Coop is back

Didn’t work for the saints , falcons, or patriots
It did for the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, and Bucs.

In fact, we've only won ONE game this year where we didn't have at least 100 rushing yards. Cooper Rush was the QB for that one.

Stopping the run didn’t work for tb. Scoring 40 worked for tb. Stopping the run did work for Denver and kc too but Dal was missing tons of players for the kc game. Anthony brown is what worked for the Raiders

Well one thing I've notice about our offense is that they live on letting the play develop.. Nothing quick.. no slants.. etc. This allows defenses to quickly attack the QB.

Yes, there is a blue print. Its has been obvious and everyone has been doing it since the Vikings game. Load up the middle of the line and you can easily stop Zeke and the run game. He does not have the speed to run outside, so its a piece of cake.

Blueprint…

Hobble the QB and RB
Take out both starting receivers
Switch out the offensive tackles midseason and add a new guard to make it more challenging.

Watch the offense lose its entire first half’s confidence and rhythm as all that happens at once for a few games.
