We really need better run game

[big dog cowboy]

A run game would fix a lot of problems.

Not the 3 biggest problems on the team.

Stopping the run and stopping the pass. Oh, and the.......well you know.

It would help keep them off the field.

We are great at creating explosive plays but the Texans Zone was a problem early & there is just so many times where I’m thinking the whole team would benefit if we could just run the freaking ball better.

I know getting Tyler Smith back will be huge.

But I’d like to see us acquire another runner.

I’m not talking like a top 5 back but someone that can bring some juice to this backfield.

James Connor maybe?

There has got to be a way to run the ball better.

Tyler Smith being back hopefully next week is going to make that left side open up. Bass has done a good job but Tyler S. bullies people and makes them regret their career choices

100% sure that when he gets back we have a better outcome with the runs -- particularly with Guyton playing at such a high level now.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Honestly, Javonte is good enough if the O line run blocking gets better which it will when Tyler Smith is back.

He doesn’t have the home run speed. Great vision and not a scared runner, but IMO a speedier guy might take better advantage

next year lets find a guy in round 7 like the bears found this Monangai dude 2 yrs ago. See his stat line yesterday? Holy moly .

You've watched a lot of Chicago games? Just a guess.

Id agree but we are built to pass first. And pass often.

A better defense fixes this. The Cowboys would be much better off as frontrunners, instead of playing from behind against the better defenses. It forces the offense to press with the passing game, which in turn forces Prescott above 40 attempts per game (45 against Houston). I never want him throwing that many passes every Sunday. It means he is being more exposed than he should be as an older quarterback with an injury history.

Better special teams play would help. Finally...knowing that your defense is depleted at present it might be prudent to second guess trying 60+ yard field goals. Missing means really short fields for the opposing team. Dallas gave up THREE via the kicking game and I think Houston scored on all three of those short fields.

 

[Gambit]

Doesn't have to be a runner but literally anyone who can catch a short pass and break a tackle would pull safeties up just as effectively

I honestly think that's what Shotty wants for his offence. Thats why Blue was drafted. Its why we Turp and CD taking so many WR screens and quick outside passes.

Personally I wish we had a runner who could attack the edges with speed.

But this line as constructed is pass first and often.

That draft was loaded with runners. I liked him coming out and would've loved drafting him.

It’s a big problem, but we have faced 3 really good fronts in 4 games between NY, Baltimore, and Houston.

Also missing our best OL to injury doesn’t help. I think the ground game gets better as we move along and get Smith back and play some teams that aren’t as talented in their front 7
