No running game

[Arkyvarminter]

Everyone thinks we are on a roll and we're not. Beating bad teams by throwing all day long. Wait till we play a real team and everyone will see our running game sucks and we'll lose..the end

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I don't disagree. the run blocking is horendous. I don't like the new run blocking scheme. we have martin, smith, smith and play zone blocking scheme. as opposed to power ball. get your hands on the defender and just control him.

Pollard averaged 5.1

Pollard averaged 5.1

Yeah but they don't give him the ball enough and when they do his average plummets........

Right, we’re on a roll against teams that aren’t going to make the playoffs, but good luck, convincing some here that the Cowboys can be beaten. We’re feasting on bad teams.

Its a running game.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Pollard averaged 5.1

And he did so despite losing 16 yards on two carries off gadget plays.

Prior to today's games:
Cowboys: 262a 1061y 4.0 y/a
Chiefs: 226a 934y 4.1y/a
Eagles: 290a 1167y 4.0y/a

Someone needs to break it to Chiefs and Eagles fans that they have no shot this year.

So, the complaint here is that DAL isn't winning "pretty" enough?

They won by 23 on the road after getting off to a sluggish start.

27/107 on the ground for 4.0 YPC...skewed a bit by Cooper Rush's three kneel-downs for -3 yds. The running game may not be dominant, but it's more than adequate. This organization is discovering its true offensive identity, and it's not as a "run-first" team - as much as Coach McCarthy wished for that at the outset of the season.

Swear to God, I've never seen a fan base so unhappy with a three/four-score win.

McCarthy is a pass happy OC, so thinking he's going to run the football more than he passes isn't happening. Also, I think the run game is where the OC wants because he's not really trying to improve it, imho.

I could care less about beating a one win team..lol Wait till we play the Niners again and see what happens..

 

[nate dizzle]

Pollard averaged 5.1

That was the 31st ranked run defense we were up against today. It's not a coincidence he had his best game of the year.

 

[Clove]

A featured runner is what we need. End of story.

As you are aware, a team must beat whoever is on the schedule to get to the playoffs...regardless of their record.

I still don't understand your complaint about today's win? What sort of result would have pleased you?

See Pollard td. Watch it. Watch it again. Study, there will be a test later.

I'm just saying that our running game is not good and it will cost us down the road..probably real soon...

yeah, he's really impressive...

He's a good player on a very good team.

I was there. Run blocking is atrocious. They are rushing the ball in unorthodox ways. It will not bode well in December and beyond. Find a running game now.
